Rev. j. p. Essex, the pastor of the
Baptist churches at Saluda and Urbanna
came near having a very serious accident
a day or two ago. He was going to hold
his usual night service at Urbanna and
drove out on the bridge about 3 O'Clock.
not Knowing OF the open draw, or that
the bridge had been damaged by n
schooner RAINING into it early that morn
ing. There was no light. nor other
danger signal displayed. When the
horse reached the opening it stopped and
refused to move when urged by it's owner,
whereupon MIR. Essex got out of his bug.
gy to ascertain the trouble. He was
horriiied to fiud the draw wide open and
ms horse within a few feet of the edge.
The narrow escape so unnerved the min
lister that it was necessary for him to re-
turn home. A searching investigation
Will be made to locate the gross If moi

TREATY oFPEACE SIGNED.

The Treaty of Portsmouth was
signed shortly before 4 o'clock Tues.
day afternoon in the conference room
In the general store at the navy de.

salute of nineteen guns was the
signal which told the people of Ports.

the peace of Portsmouth was an &C.
complished fact, and the church bells
in the three towns were soon peal;ng

Up to the moment of signing the
treaty no word had broken the silence
of the conference room. Throwing
his pen aside, M. Witte, without a
word, reached across the table and
grasped Baron Komura's hand. His
conferees followed, aud the Russian
and Japanese delegates remained for
a moment in silence, their right
hands tightly clasped across the con-
ference table. The war was over
Russia and Japan were once more
friends.

Some Newspaper Changes

The Richmond Times Dispatch

date in the lower Northern Neck
the first time this section has ever
been favored on Monday with any
paper later than Sundays edition.
The world do move-aud Virginia
journalism along with it.
The Colonial Beach Progress
changes date of publication from
Thursday to Wednesday, Gin order to
have the paper reach subscribers as
early as possible" while the South
side Sentinel has recently changed
date for "going to press" from We'd
nesday to Thursday, in order to get
later news to its clientele.

TIE CHRONIC KICKER.

AS rule, the man who complains
the most about "hard times, and who
is constantly cursing and abusing
the community in which he lives as
the ''deadest and meanest place on
earth" is the man who does practi-
caliy nothing to make better times,
and who takes no part in any effort
or movement for the development
and betterment of his community.
Some people are too lazy and trifling
to earn the bare necesSaries of life:
and these are the chonic grumblers
who are mad with the world and
everybody and everything in it be-
cause they have less of this worlds
goods than their neighbors have

In Virginia is shown by the fact
that the value Of the crop per acre is

for the belief that another great

greater reason to oppose it now than

LOOK OUT FOR THE RIrrs.

N w COh AhE hO IS.
An exchange hits some nail heads
In an editorial "Look Out For the
Ruts." The subject can be greatly
enlarged upon.
Did you ever notice farmer driv-
ing heavily loaded team in winter?
de tries to keep out of the ruts. To
get his loaded wagon into a rut is
hard on the horses, it strains the
wheels, it racks the wagon, and if
the rut is deep enough it stalls the
whole business.
How about those old ideas of yours?
When somebody wants to do a good
turn for your town and he has COM
mitted the serious blunder of not
enquiring of you the way to go about
1t, your thoughts jolt down into the
old rut of croakerism and you begin
to run down his efforts.
Or the fellow who is trying to pull
your town or county together for a
supreme effort to onst the thugs and
black-legs from office, or to get your
jury list purged of hireling stool
pigeons 30 that justice can be ad-
ministered alike to all men; does your
weakened little mind jolt again into
one OF those ruts, and you won't help
him, but stay stuck in the mud and
want your neighbor to get likewise |?
Or maybe you belong to that
sanctimonious, canting, carping bril-
gade that won't pay a cent to the
minister or the church or the new
organ or the new parsonage, all be-
cause the one breaches at your sin
and not the other fellows, or the
church carpet and ceiling were not
the color Jon voted for, or the organ
has stumped your eldest hopeful and
somebody that knew how to "turn a
tune" had to take hold of it, or the
parsonage was not located just where
you wanted it and is too good stall
for . family that gets free feed
with fodder furnished by others, not
yourselD.
But maybe you are so-called
business man, one that is trying to
run things as when you were boy,
or "iike pappy used ter do" You
don't believe in getting up-to-date
things or trying new commodities;
brown sugar and green coffee and
peanuts in the sack are good enough
for you, and you try to cram your
Ikea down others throats. But that
il not the worst of it: dozen empty
nail kegs around stove decorated
with tObacco-juice you believe to be
the best advertising you can do.
Maybe 1t is because your till is empty;
pusiA you would stop your cracking,
brush down the cob-webs and pull
yourself together long enough to
amble down to your town papers
Office you would 60 surprise the editor
we warrant he would give you 3 free
local puff snd trust you for that 90,
cent-a-week liner that your now well.
ing heart has at last agreed to ven-
ture upon.
Remember, when u business gets
In rut it means it ia harder to pull.
and it is harder to push; when a
lively competitor comes down the
road, you can't get out of his way;
and if he is heavier and bigger than
you, he will simply blot you out
OF existence; aud if the rut is deep
enough you will 90 to smash anyway.
There 10 good thought in that
little line "Look Out for the Ruts."
1t takes careful driving, and it pays.
