TROLLEY LINE TO NORTH
ERIN NECK.
Company Headed by Gould Ma,
Build the Read.
tRichmond Times Dispatch.)

A definite movement is under way
to build an electric line from this
city to Tsppahannock and the
Northern Neck. The construction
of such line has long been advo-
Gated and agitated, and few years
ago Northern Neck railroad seemed
almost assured. Now, however, a
company with ample capital has
been organized. ss-
The link from this city to Ash
land, a distance of seventeen miles,
would parallel the steam railway.
From Ashland the route of the pro-
posed road is through King William,
King & Queen, aud Essex counties,
to Tappahannock, thence across the
Rappahannock River, and through
Northumberland and Lancaster to
Chesapeake Bay. At a point be-
tween Ashland and Tappahannock, a
branch will diverge to Gloucester
Point. The entire line, including
the branch, will be about $50 miles
in length.
The officers of the prospective cor
poration are Frank j. Gould, presi-
dent; Henry w. Anderson, vice-pres-
ident; Guy Phillips, secretary and
treasurer. The company will be
nominally capitalized ut $25, 900, but
In the event of construction of the
line, this will be increased to four or
five millions.

KILMARNOcK's HOLLY BALL.
Miss Hudnail Chosen As Queen or
The Holly Realm.


The annual "holly ball." which
was given at Kilmarnock on the
night of December Goth, was an
elaborate affair.
The spacious town hall was
crowded to OVERLOOKING by prominent
people from Lancaster, Richmond
and Westmoreland counties. The
building was tastefully decorated
with holly, and as the many hand
some couples glided over the ball
room floor the scene was beautiful.
As usual, great interest was shown
in the election of queen for another
year. Miss Precidia Hudnall, of
Northumberland, carried off this
coveted honor. Miss Carrie Ramps,
of Lancaster, was chosen first maid
of honor and Miss Emily Mayo, of
Westmoreland, second maid of honor.
MIR. j. K. Harding was selected as
minister to the queen and Messrs.
John Hughlett and K. boswell
Ciopton escorts to the maids of
honor. Mr.. w. B. Sanders, of
White Stone, delivered the opening
address and Mr.. w. L. Mayo, of
Westmoreland, the coronation ad-
dress.

TO STORE KEEPERS.

Within the past ninety days this
Association has been in receipt of
numerous letters and personal APP
peals from merchants and others
whose property is debarred admit
tauce into our Mutual Fire Associa-
ton, asking that we either accept
stores and their contents or make
some provision under our charter
for taking them on a separate and
independent basis.
The invariable reason for this
request seems to be the increase in
rates by the old.line companies,
which, many of the writer's say, have
become almost prohibitive.
As i cannot answer each indiyid-
ual letter on the subject / use this
means. At the January meeting of
our Board of Directors the subject
will be laid before the Board, which
l am sure will give it mature consid-
Grafton. After consultation with
some of the Board l think | can
safely say that the interests of the
two thousand policy holders now in
the Association will not admit of the
taking of stores and stock Jointly
with the preferred class of risks we
are now carrying. Should there be
a guarantee of sufficient number of
merchants to organize a branch of
the Association for such purpose it
is likely the Board will take steps to
gather in this class of hazardous
risks upon the same plan that we
are now successfully conducting. but
absolutely independent of the pres
ent line of insurance which we are
carrying upon dwellings, barns and
such like.
Those merchants who favor the
idea can drop postal to us at once
saying so, and giving approximately
the amount of insurance each would
ask. Respectfully,
w. MCDONALD LEE,
Secretary N. N. Mutual Fire Asso-
citation, Irvington, Va.

SOME STEAMBOAT NOTES,

TO fredericksburg, was Withdrawn
January 9Th for repairs.
Annual, term and trip passes of
1904 issue, expiring by limitation on
December 31st, will be honored for
passage by the Weems Steamboat Co.
up to and including January 3Otb,

which cuts out Carriers Creek and

Lancaster is some days behind in
mails. Mails to be delivered at Ir-
Vington have bad to be sent for by
private arrangement to points where
they hung up.

ance of the Norfolk route the Ran.

ilized world pension their civil ser
wants. The full working out of the
merit system in civil service can never
be accomplished, 1 believe, until we
recognize the principal Of civil pen
sion for superannuated government
employees. There is no other impor-
tant nation which has not recognized
that principle.
I'm an inquiry reaching nearly 1000
corporations replies show that 70 have
adopted some plan for retiring and
providing for employees during old age
Without single exception these cor
porations which have adopted such a
plan expressed the opinion, after hav-
ing had an opportunity to note its eff
fects, that 1t was a wise business prac-
tice. AS a rule those American cor
porations which have adopted the old
age pensions system have treated the
matter in the light of deferred wages,
the corporation bearing the entire ex-
pense of the pension requirements.
IF were to attempt to summarize
the reasons why institutions in the
United States are beginning to adopt
old age pension schemes l would say
that they embrace such considerations
as these: The pension attaches the
employe to the service and thus de-
creases the liability to strike. 1t makes
more certain a continuance of efficient
men in the lines of work with which
they are perfectly familiar. OF quite
as much Importance is the fact that a
pension system enables employers to
dispense with the elderly and inef1-
Client and thus give constant encour-
agement to good effort on the part of
younger men hoping for promotion. 1t
operates especially as an incentive to
hold men between the ages of 40 and
so when they have acquired the ex-
erience and skill which makes them
especially valuable and prevents their
being tempted away by slightly in
creased wages for a temporary period.
