Powhatan, I'd District.-The calm which
usually follows the political storm is with us
once more. The sore heads and the swelled
heads are in evidence, but they are perfectly
harmless. There is dearth of any interest
ing news except, perhaps, the removal, and in
some cases, the utter destruction, OF many old
landmarks surrounding Powhatan.
The company of New York capitalists that
recently purchased the old mill property, with
the intention of converting it into the most
magnificent cemetery of the South, is rapidly
changing the aspect of this former sleepy old
place. TheDew public school building, erected
by the company in place of the old one across
the falls, is quite finished. The unusual spec
tacle of houses being rolled along the highway,
with tenants still occupying them, has become
an everyday occurrence. The removal of the
Methodist Church, however, it is reported, is
to be the sensation of the day. It will be
rolled from its present prominent position on
the bill across the falls and placed on this side
at least quarter of mile distant.
They are at present raising the station at the
terminus of the United Railways and this also
will be moved a short distance.

moval of interesting landmarks in this most
picturesque little place, but when complete
we hope the change will be agreeable to all.
There is no doubt that ours is the most beau
tiful ride out from the city, with no mean

summer resort at Gwynn Oak, following the
course of the falls. is most interesting. There
has been good skating and during the past

the popular sport. There is nice warm wait

have been holding revival services.
A concert will be given. for the benefit of

The public schools of the neighborhood
seem to be doing good work and are well pa
tronized. We have had no epidemic to lower
the average attendance and deprive the teach
ers of their hard earned pittance. Our popu-
lar young physician took advantage of this
opportunity to be i'll himself and has just re-
covered from an operation. L.

of Christmas. Mysterious bundles, whispered
