JoTTINGs FROM WHEATON,

One of the most enjoyable and success
full gatherings and entertainments posi-
BILE tookplaee at Wheaton Monday night
last, on the occasion of Gov. A. j. Mon
tague's visit. The spacious upper floor of
the wis-Lankford-Tu Co.'s cannery
was made beautiful by establishment,
flags and streamers being used for decora-
tive purposes. The seats were made by
using the cases and cans that bad crops
had left untitled. The ladies had taken
charge, and with skill had made the place
very presentable and attractive and at
the same time convenient and practical.
The choir sang patriotic songs with
pleasing effect. Upon the entrance OF the
Governor the choir sang ''Dixie' and the
Governor was given an old time reception.
In n pretty manner the Governor was in
troduced by Il. j. Downing. Upon the
Governors taking his position, in moving
one OF the oil stoves the decoration near
and around the platform took fire, and
for the moment it appeared as If there
would be great confagration, but the
audience acted in quite cool manner,
and active efferts on the part of some of
the gentlemen put out the fire without
any damage to the building. Mr.. Down
ing made a few remarks and the Cover
nor took the platform again, and for
about an hour entertained the audience
with a beautiful and elevating address
He reviewed the history of past Nations
and made the burden OF his theme an
effort to increase mans fair dealing with
fellowman. He plead for increased edu-
cation in the best sense-the education
that teaches how to do instead OF merely
knowing how to do. He paid just and
high tribute to the names of Yirginians
who had honored Virginia in the past
and whom Virginia had also honored,
and he outlined the duty of the church in
the direction of steadfast work to lift self
on higher plane, showing that noble
lives lead by citizens elevated the State.
More songs were sung and DR.. Lewis
little daughter sang a song that was
well received and appreciated. Rev. Mr..
Green advanced to the platform and
asked that thanks be given Dr. Lewis
little daughter for her share in the enter
tainment; also to the Doctor for his eff
Gent efforts in behalf of making the affair
success. He paid tribute to the Gov
ernor, and in a few apt and humorous
remarks invited the Governor to come in
the field and preach when ne had given
up public Office.
The attendance was not SO large as
was expected and the threatening
weather can be aseribedas the cause; but
all who aided and promoted the affair
can be congratulated on the success o.
the effort in behalf of the church. Suppe,
was served at a small cost, and not very
literally patronized; yet the sum of $6s
was realized, which was quite we'll under
the circumstances. Politics was conspic
ious by absence, and ell who ATTENDED
were pleased at the opportunity which
had been presented of enjoying an enter
tanning, pleasant and instructive meeting
We all say do it again, and as often al
you wish; we can stand it.
