and witnesses to engage in the hay and
wheat harvest.
The Essex Monument Association met
IN the courtroom Tuesday afternoon of
last week, Mrs. Della Preston Wright,
president, presiding. Her address as
to the growth of the monument fund
was cheering. The site for the monu-
ment was unanimously selected in front
of the courthouse. Committees were
appointed for arranging dinner for the
laying of the corner stone on Thursday,
June 18th, of the monument to the Con-
federate soldiers and sailors. 1t was an

PERTAINS TO CONGRESS.

Congress will probably adjourn to-
morrow. The record was broken by
appropriating nearly billion dollars
for one year.
Senator Martin got through $50, 600
appropriation in the Senate for a
national boulevard at fredericksburg,
but the House committee cut it down
to $4,000. The Senator also got be-
fore the Claims committee the following
Civil War damages: Fredericksburg
Masonic Lodge. 81, 600; Massaponax Bap-
fist church, $500; Berea Christian church,
81, 500 both in Spotsylvania.
The Senate adopted the amendment
to the sundry civil bill, appropriating
81, 450, 900 to the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. There was not dissenting vote
on the amendment. The amendment
was drawn by Senator Daniel, and is
practically the same as the bill intro
duced in the House upon which Speaker
Cannon has refused consideration. In
the civil sundry bill. it will now hardly

MARTIN GETS THE BUoYs.
Capt. A. w. Powell some time ago
interested himself in the matter of plac-
ing buoys in Poquoson River. The chart
OF this section does not include Poquo-
son River among the bodies of water.
1t has been difficult water tonavigate
on account of the bar off Hunts Point
and another which makes from York
Point. Capt. Powell wrote to Senator
Thomas S. Martin, who had the bouy
tender visit the water and place them
IN proper position so that any master
OF vessel can go IN and out without
risk. The people are very grateful to
Capt. Powell and Senator Martin.
Many vessels have grounded in this
river and were removed at great ex-.

RIGHT here and now our papers
should inform visitors to Tidewater
what every "residenter" knows-that
oysters can be eaten here with impu-
nifty (or tobasco sauce, or catsup,
or nearly any "old thing') every
month in the year without tremor as
to the "R." Joking aside. this is
correct The months minus an "R"
are coincident with warm weather,
when great care must be taken in
packing and shipping. 1t is from
lily packed cases that trouble is bred
and not from the bivalyes taken fresh
