Neill, Va, Oct. 9th, 1905.
A shipman, working with Capt. c. l..
Verthorne. lost his footing in climbing
over pile OF oysters, fell overheard and
was drowned before they could rescue
him. J. ~ Peed held an inquest over the
body, rendering verdict OF accidental
drowning. The body was buried at the
expense of the county on Mr.. Chas
I}erry's farm aud notice sent 10 the dead
mans vile in Baltimore. Another ship
man was drowned from Capt. l.. BrOd-
waters boat about the same time, and
body recovered aud buried at Colonial
Beach.
The market boats are now being
chartered by a few parties, causing
difficulty in selling 10y the smaller crafts.
Some Oystermen ARE gettlngand plant
ing here very nice stock for selling next
year, the improvement in these making
It very profitable To hold them.
Seeding Of wheat is well over,
smaller areas and heavier fertilizing pre-
vailing to greateg extent this year.
The crop OF black field peas II being
threshed by some farmers yielding three
fourths Of an average crop. Higher
prices are anticipated 10y some parties
being made in husking corn, aud some
damage in centre Of shocks 10 fodder cut
and filled ont in full shocks during the
hot weather Of this month.
On our return trip from Wing Hill
last week we tried the river road, pass
ing SealstOn, COmOrn and other points
to see the conditions Oi agriculture on
that route. One very nice field Oi early
sOwn wheat was seen, the work Oi seed
ing being in the various stages oi plOW-
ing, harvesting and drilling. Several
large fields OF corn were uncut tf ~ be-
ing. we believe, on the farm Of Mr.. Bowie
Gray. Quite a number OF stacks oi hay
were in evidence and some parties were
still stacking, auguring well Tor proven
der the ensuing winter. The roads were
very bad. In one place We essayed To
shun an ugly mud hole nearly across
the road and dragged our aXleS for some
distance. unable to do anything but go
forward. At another point there was
barely width on ridge Tor a vehicle,
turn either way would cause an over
turn.
Seymour Fleming, IN aged and promi-
nent colored man, living near Owens,
died suddenly after a short illness, aged
20 years.
Although we have had twoquite heavy

stock, are favorable for farmers, especial

Light on Female Diseases.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause Of most
cases Of female diseases.
DIR. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas greatest physicians TO make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that q woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal affection of these organs would
not be subject TO female diseases. He,
therefore, began using Peruna for these
cases and found it so admirably adapted
tO their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using il and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the esuse of
female diseases.
Peruna builds up the nerves and re-
stores the appetite and digestion.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
Ing PeTuna.
