Weather Conditions

A months drouth was broken
by light raj mall last Thursday
night, and the refreshing shove
came as a blessing to the. parchcd
earth. For several hours the rain
fell gently, and the folio" ing
morning everything looked fresher
than for weeks.
The effect of the droutb has
been felt by everybody, but by
none moro severely than by the
farmers and stockmen. The drv-
ing up of the pastures has necessi-
tated the feeding Of stock, and in
consequence there has been an adj
vance in the price of butter.
Saturday afternoon there was n
decided falling in the temperature
and a strong breezs set in, which
made the weather very disagree
able. Sunday night the thermome-
ter registered as low as % degrees
and ice formed plentifully. This
was the first touch Of real winter
we have had 90 far this fall, and
the cold was felt more keenly in
consequence,
The weather moderated some
little on Monday and yesterday
was very pleasant.

Il Romantic Engagement

DIR. Randolph Tucker shield ,,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William ~.
Shields of Natchez, Mis-, nn.l
Miss Ellen Randolph Page, dtig h-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. Ciupland
Randolph Page of Winchester, are
to be married early in November.
Mr.. Shields is a grandson Of the
late Hon. John Randolph, Tucker.
A dispatch from Winchester gives
the the romance Of the engage
ment as follows:
''Dr. Shields il graduate II
Was hington and Lee and in addi-
ton has com oleted hospital
course in New York. After fin
ishing his medical education, he
became interested in the China
mission work Of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, and made ar
engagements to go to that field in
the fall. Not long since he came
to Winchester to visit his aunt,
Mrs. William 2. Mcclure, and
other relatives, and while CON
versing with friends in regard to
his work, some one casually re-
marked that Miss Page had often
expressed desire to enter the
mission field. DR.. Shields had
always entertained high regard
for Miss Page, which needed but ii
slight stimulus to ripen into that
more tender passion, and this
chance remark opened for him a
more roseatc plan for the future.
He lost no time, but Immediately
called upon Miss Page, and press
ed his suit. At first, it is said,
that the suddenness of the proDo-
sition struck her in the light of a
joke, and she, in the like spirit,
eyes" However, In
the course of time, the under
standing between the two became
and the ceremony, which
is to take place some time next
the date not yet announc-
ed, will be Of genuine interest and
to all friends and rela-
tives. "
