NORTHUMBERLAND NOTES.

George Lawson, a highly respected
colored merchant, doing business near
Edwardsville, this county, was found at
his place ofbusiness one morning with his
skull crushed. His condition is critical.
Commonwealth Attorney Towles is
making a thorough investigation OF the
affair. The doors of the house were
securely fastened and the only way of
entrance to the room in which the
wounded man lay was through a win
dow. Near Lawson a bloodstained ak
was found. On his forehead was the
mark of violent blow. The affair has
excited much interest in the county, and
the circumstances appear to be similar to
those which transpired few years ago
on All Fools Day at Barnett's store,
near Irvington, when young and promis-
ing Charlie Carter's head was cleft in
twain by John johnson (colored). The
thrilling account of the chase, the capture
and efforts to lynch the culprit, covering
weeks time, was wildly portrayed in
the columns OF the CITIZEN at the time.
LATER-Lawson is dead. Suspicion falls
upon his son, who is reported to have
left the county.
Monday next is the beginning of our
last court for 1904.

TIPER'S WHARF.

This comparatively new wharf on the
Great Wicomieo river is a rapidly grow
ing business centre. The pickle factory
owned and operated by the Numsen
Pickle Company, Of Baltimore, was fine
success. They brined over six hundred
gallons of cueumbers last season, which
was an unusually large number for this
enterprise in n section of country where
pickle growing was unknown. 1t is more
than probable they will handle double
that quantity the coming season. The
oyster house owned and operated by
Harding & Beane did well last season
They will begin shocking next week and
doubtless do much better this season al
they are better known and equipped.

SOME HOLLY TALK.

The kilmarnock Fair, which was quite
a success, is over, and the next great
social event will be the Holly Festival,
an event thai is looked forward to with
generous appreciation by both young and
old. The mercenery ax OF the holly
hunter Is now ut work on our most
beautiful of evergrecns. and thousands of
boxes are being shipped to the cherries
denizens of the Northland, from the
shores Of the Chesapeake. to brighten
and gladden. their homes. Well, so be Il;
we have the genial company Of the holly
all the year round, aud surely we are not
so selfish as 10 debar our Northern
friends OF an occasional visit from our
best loved companions. We do ask our
people, however, TO see 10 it that our
most attractive trees along the roadside
are not despoiled. for they are constant
source OF pleasure and pride to our peo-
pie and to strangers, who on wintry days
travel our highways, and are cheered
and gladdened by its dress Of Emerald
green studded with countless rubies. We
yirginians love the holly, because 1t
is so suggestive Of hospitality and good
cheer, and It is 70 be hoped that our Leg.
islature will some day adopt 1t as the
States emblem. Maine has the pine;
South Carolina the palmetto; Ireland the
shamrock; Scotland the thistle. and why
should We not dignity the holly? We
hope the VIRGINIA CITIZEN will take up
the matter during the next Legislature.
At the coming Holly Festival three
ladies will be voted for--the one receiv-
Ing the highest number of votes to be
Queen, the other two to hold the posi-
tions of LIST and End maids OF honor, In
the order of their respective number of
votes.
To cover the elaborate preparations
and defray the cost of music, decorations,
hall, invitations, ETC., one dollar will be
charged for the privilege of voting for
the queen and maids of honor, and this
fee must be paid when the vote Is re-
corded. We hope Mr.. -Caulfield will
furnish piano, and If he does the ladies
of the holly band will do all In their
power to dispose of 1t f5r him.
