WOODEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

One Of the most enjoyable Of the many
social festivities for which Southwest
Harbor is noted, took place on Monday
George Harmon and wife, the event being
the fifth anniversary of the wedding day
of these popular Young people, and COM
bining as well the elements OF a genuine
old fashioned house warming, as the
couple honored bad but recently become
settled in the pretty cottage home pur-
chased Of d. L. Mayo.
Japanese lanterns strung along the YER
anda sent out bright beams OF welcome
on this fine May evening, to the seventy
five or more guests who gathered in the
rooms very prettily decorated with crepe
paper OF brilliant coloYs fashioned into
wedding bells aud festoons gracefully
loopcd in place. Tho cordial reception by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon eyinced the pleasure
they ieii in extending hospitality to
friends and neighbors.
The reception was from to ii p. m.
After an hour passed in social greeting, a
pleasing programme was presented, which
but for ths absence by illness of two
prominent singers and consequent oniis-
sion of the quartstte selections, would have
been even more enjoyable. 1t included
prayer ny Rev. J. A. Lawrence; solo with
piano accompaniment, DIR. George Neal;
poem composed and read by Mrs.
Louise Freeman; solo, DIR. Neal; read
ing. Miss Kathie Freeman.
Remarks by Sir. Lawrence, with a vein
of witty humor, were very interesting
A cordial response by both Mr.. and Mrs.
Hartman testified their grateful appreeia-
iion OF the generous gifts bestowed and
OF the surprise that had been given them,
made the guests feel that IL was more
blessed 10 give than 10 receive. A beautiful
dining table and handsome chiffonier
were among the chief presents and were
duly admired, while many smaller arti-
oles, both useful and ornamental, were
gifts quite as pleasing to the recipients.
Delicious refreshments were served,
number of young ladies assisting Mrs.
Harmon in this tssk. souvenir book
was circulated for the signatures Of the
guests who, after an hour OF social chat
and music and the mutual exchange of
good wishes for future celebrations of the
milestones along the marriage journey,
departed feeling that most delightful
| evening had been spent.

SOME DISASTERS.

body was recovered.
Meriden Mississippi was swept by a
cyclone and food. Many lives were
lost and most of the town was swept
away. Governor vardaman hurried
troops to the scene and, taking charge.
declared marshal law while the st,ick-
en- inhabitants could be cared for.
In the terrible blizzard last week
three men near Tappahannock lost
their lives, David Wood and son and
Phillip Richie, all colored. They were
on lighter tied behind Captain Bull
gers schooner, and as night came on
the captain insisted that they come
aboard, but they refused, and in the
night the lighter sunk; they were
swept overheard and drowned.
Ten thousand persons persisted during
the storm on Tahiti and adjacent
islands, several of which have disap-
peared- 1t was the most destructive
cyclone ever experienced in the Society
and Tuamotu islands, in the south Pa
cific, and occurred on February z and
8, the news just reaching civilization.
The city of Papeete was inundated and
about 70 buildings destroyed, including
the America Consulate and French
Government building.

night. Origin of fire unknown. Loss
about four hundred dollars, with small

A barn of Geo. w. Johnson, Chiltons.
was almost annihilated by the blizzard
of last week. Loss about 800, with
$50 insurance in the same Association.
1t is not thought these losses will be
sufficiently large to call for an assess

have not been adjusted as yet.

MISUNDERSTANDING

The House Committee on Chesapeake
bay and It's Tributaries voted down the
question of closing the Potomac rive,
for two years.
Saturdays News Leader has a goot
likeness and sketch of Hon. John Cur
lett, representative from Lancaster ant
Richmond counties.
The present is probably the hardes,
worked body of legislators the State
has ever seen. Trying to cram sin
months work into sixty days.
The House Committee on Schools anc
Colleges decided to locate the three pro
posed new State normal schools at Rad.
ford, Fredericksburg and Harrisonburg.
The Richmond papers claim that much
valuable time has been wasted in both
houses of the Virginia legislature in dis
cussing the question of how to save
time.
1t there is to be an investigation OF
the commercial fisheries of the Chesa.
peake, accused of destroying food fish,
the Legislature wants it done by the
new Board of Fisheries (which goes into
office April 1sD and not by junketing
trips of up-country people and kid-glove
fishermen.
1t is likely the Legislature will vote
$4,000 for new oyster police boat,
something greatly needed. The industry
annually returns forty to fifty thousand
dollars net revenue to the State, and
practically nothing has been appropri-
ated in years for its protection. The
present boats will not serve the desired
purpose during the two years the Legis-
lature is in adjournment.
The report in the Clowes-Foster case
recommends that Mr.. Cloves be not
confirmed, the reason assigned being
that the inquiry has resulted in the inn
pairment of his usefulness as member
of the board of directors of the Eastern
State Hospital. The Committee also
recommends an investigation of the
Hospital as managed by DR.. Foster.
There will be no extra session Just
now of the Legislature. 1t will close
at midnight tomorrow Saturday though
a few members will remain and keep it
in constructive session five days in order
to give the Governor time to sign bills
passed. Pressure was brought to bear
on Governor Swanson and his declared
opposition to an extra session. Dele
gate Curlett, who lead the movement,
was in conference with the Governor,
and suggested that he call another ses-
sion Immediately after the close of the
present one next week. The Governor
declared himself opposed to an extra
session.

THE AGE OF INQUIRY. +"

We think our usually fair con.
temporary. the Southside Sentinel, i.
too pessimistic, not to say somew hat
r'ejud ced. ia it's utterances last wees
as to the Investigations in progress
before our Legislature. The Gloves
investigation was not started by"Mar.
tin men" (without mincing words
or firing vague meanings). Both MIR
Cloves and DIR. Foster, as we under,
stand, are Montague men," and
were at daggers' points. So much sc
that the Williamsburg institution
was severely suffering by the friction
between these officials. One side
demanded that the nomination be
held up, and the other demanded an
Investigation. The result of the
finding is to exouerate Mr.. Cloves
personal character but advises that
he be not returned to the Board
Now his friends demand that the
whole management be investigated,
and this is to be done. The whole
thing is deplorable, particularly as
1t is a "scrap" between those of the
same political faction.
ln view of this it is hardly fair to
charge the procedure to the principle
OF "to the victors belong the spoils.''
Certainly it cannot be in justice laid
at Governor Swanson's door. Our
idea is that he, and any other Cover.
nor, Is sorry to have to fill such po-
sitions. The fewer plums the easier
governor sleeps. For every Job,
there crops up score of applicants
nineteen of them to be disappointed.
Governor O'Ferrall once told us that
he heartily wished there was no pa.
tronage to be dispensed at his hands.
Governor Swanson already, in thirty
days, has retained, appointed or re-
appointed more of the opposition ele,
ment than did Governor Montague
In his four years. tenure of the office,
Nearly everything around the CAPT
toll and among state office holders. 10
say nothing of the various Boards
is savored with Montague appoint
ments. Do not shut your eyes to
these things, but let credit fall where
it is due.
The investigation of the Corpora
ton Commission is almost identical
with that of Cloves. Every princi-
pal In it is allied to the late losing
faction of the Democratic ranks.
They themselves called for an inyes-
tigatlon, and it was given. So.
friend, you will see it is no funeral
IN our family, the Martin wing of
the party. The other fellows are
furnishing the corpse, the preach
ing and the hearse. Permit us TO
donate the flowers.

EDITOR CITIZEN:
On my trip through Farnham district

been married 81 years. Mrs. Rocks
sister, Juliet Fulks, is about 72 years
old, and the trio have lived under the
same roof since 1866.
1 want you to ask the question
through the other papers to know if
there is another case in the State that
VIII compare with this one. The
aged couple are both devoted to each
other, and pray that when the Master
calls one he may call them both.
Yours, respectfully,
