 Recently Mrs. Detch encountered, in the doorway of a bakery, a particularly small individual of the masculine gen der, whose chubby face had, for her, by reason of a wistful air perceptible through the grime upon it, an irresist- ible fascination. She succumbed. From bag of pastry which she had a mo ment before purchased she produced q luscious, fat knuckled lady finger and handed it to the boy. As he bounced upon it with ravenous appetite. she ex- claimed to Mrs. Baker. the shopkeeper:

Jan. 13.-Our city authorities are
giving attention to the social life OF
some of the colored people requiring
them to become legally .-erried
This is right. Since they are citizens
among us, and are factor in our
body polite, it is eminently wise
that they be required TO honor our
civil institutions. Too long has the
South allowed the negro to live
much as he pleased while under his
own roof. The same rigid exaction
applied to them which society applies
to the white race would tell for good
in that races future.
Rev. Maxwell Robson, rector OF

We hear he is at Farmville under the

Much against the public sentiment,
the Extract works" have beeu
working on Sunday since Jan. LIST.
For this there is not the slightest
necessity. The large works of the

shut down from ~ p. III. Saturday
until 12 p. III. Sunday. They say
there is no need of breaking the
Sabbath at all.
There is here private reading
circle which merits commentator.
About thirty ladies belong at present.
The plan is for each member to buy
one book ev cry Xix months to be put
into circulationwith the owner name
plainly written in it. Each book
goes consecutively from home to
home of the members in a fixed
route, and remains two weeks, finally
coming back to the original owner
there to stop till called for by any
member who may have failed to read
it while the book was out. Only the
best books are allowed to enter. The
circle was originated by Miss Belle
Gilkerson, and is composed of the

of books.
The art department at the Semi

place of Miss Horner who resigned
because of failing health. Miss
Horner was most excellant teacher

Mr.. John ID. Crisis Dwelling
Burned.

The dwelling house of Mr.. John
d. Crist on his farm on Whistle creek,
five miles west of Lexington, was
destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning together with a consider
able amount Of furniture.
The fire is supposed to have started
n an old house just back of the
dwelling and which was used as a
washhouse. On Monday fire was
in that building for the family wash
ing and the only way to account for
the disaster is that the smouldering
fire from the chimney in some way
caught to the building.
Mr. Crist was from home that
night. The fire was discovered about
o'clock by William Crist, son of hr.
James r. Crist, who was sleeping in a
room up stairs next to the clubhouse.
When first discovered only the old
house was on fire, but by the time
the alarm was given and neighbors
arrived the dwelling was in flames.
The smokehouse was also destroyed,
but the meat was saved.
The property was insured in the
Rockbridge Mutual Insurance Com
pany, there being $1,000 on the
dwelling, 5000 on the furniture and
$50 on the smokehouse.
Mr.. Crist and family will occupy
the dwelling on Mr.. w. NJ. Sho-
walters farm for the present. He will
later rebuild.

MIR. Tucker For Governor.

The Washington Post says: 1t is
said on excellent authority that ex-
Congressman Harry st. Geo. Tucker
will be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor in the next
gubernational fight in Virginia. From
equally reliable sources comes the
information that Hon. William A.
Anderson, the present Attorney-Gen-
eral for the State, will not be a can
didate for gubernational honors.
A few days ago Mr.. Tucker denied
that he would be a candidate. He
gave as his reason that Attorney
General Anderson would be can
didate and that he would not be a
candidate against Mr.. Anderson.
Since that time he has learned from
intimate friends of Mr.. Anderson
that he would in all probability not
run, owing to the condition Of his
health. Since giving out the inter
view accredited to him above, Mr..
Tucker has stated to friend that il
Mr.. Anderson was not in the race he
surely would be,
This puts an entirely different face
on the outlook in Virginia. The three
gentlemen who may now be consider
ed in the running are Representative
Swanson, Northumberland Will
lard and Mr.. Tucker.

BIG Fire Narrowly Averted.

But for the timely arrival of assis-
lance disastrous fire would have
occurred at the public school building
late Friday afternoon. Heat from
the stove in the fifth grade, on the
first floor, set fire to the flooring and
when discovered by the janitor,
George Harper, blaze had started
and the room was filled with smoke.
The alarm was given and soon the
fire was put out. The Fife Depart
ment responded promptly, but Others
had preceded them TO the building.
Only a slight stream of water was
turned on. The damage was slight,
only some of the flooring destroyed.
1t seems that the stove had no feet
and was sitting on some bricks flat
on the floor. AS the day was very
cold big fire was necessary, and in
this way the disaster occurred.
