Three Lighthouse Bills Pending In


1t is probable that Congress will
pass three bills for lighthouses
at this session. They were all
introduced by Representative W. A.
Jones, OF the First district. One
of these bills Is for lighted beacon
at the mouth of Pungoteague creek
1t was referred TO the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce,
which committee, after having taken
the matter up with the department
of commerce, reported the bill favor
ably to the house. A beacon light
was established there in 1854, but ii
was carried away by the big flood OF
1856. Since then there has been no
government light there, though the
river men between Norfolk and
Washington have repeatedly asked
for one. There has been a private
light maintained, however, aud the
department says that where there is
80 much need OF light that one is
maint aimed at private expense it
ought to be provided for by the gov
ernmeut. 1t therefore recommends
tnat $4,000 be appropriated for the
light.
The second place that will be pro
vided for by congress is at Ragged
Point. The bill was offered by Mr.
Jones and provided for au appropri-
alton OF $4,000 for a light and fog
signal station. The lighthouse board
has recommended every year since
1896 that the appropriation should
be made. The lighthouse board says
that the point is dangerous one
and must be provided for.
The third light asked for is off
Cherry Point, Piankatank river. 1t
is said by vessel men that the craft
of the Potomac find it difficult to
navigate at this point after night un-
less equipped with search. lights, and
both the light house board and the
department OF commerce recommend
that an appropr alton of $4,000 be
made for the establishment of the
light. The committee on interstate
commerce has adopted the recon-
mendations and sent them TO the
house. The three bills are now on
the house calendar, and Mr. Jones
will endeavJr to call them up under
unanimous consent as soon as he
can. The three bills are the only
light bills that are pending in con
gress from Virginia.-News Leader.

hrs. Slmmerman's Musical.

The musical given by Mrs. Simmer
man, at her home, in the afternoon
of January Goth, was much enjoyed
by those present. Of course the
mothers there felt proud Of the prog
ress the young people are making
under the careful training of their
efficient teacher. Even the casual
observer could not fail to see marks
of persistent patience on the part of
the instructor. One thing especially
commendable was that the pupils
noticed carefully their music and not
their fingers. The keys of the piano
are found by instinct, which, in this
case is the product of practice. Only
he or she whore eyesfollow the music
can be musician. x.

A good barber is badly needed at
this place not only for the conven-
fence of the people here but of the
surrounding country. A flrst-class
tonsorialist would find with us
abundance of work and a field for
labor which would yield him salts
factory income. A competent man
in that line of work would receive a
cordial welcome to our midst.
Great excitement prevailed in this
community last Monday morning,
when it was reported that two of the
pupils of our High School were sick
with scarlet fever. 1t did not Last
long, though, as DR.. J. II. Hiden, the
physician in attendance upon them,
after a careful diagnosis of the cases,
reported later in the day that there
was no danger OF the other pupils
contracting the disease, ss too much
time had elapsed since his patients
had been withdrawn from school.
The Board of Health, however, con-
cluded it was best to close the school
for week, which will be reopened
on next Monday il no other cases are
reported, and up to noon of Wednes-
day none had been.
