County Attorney is Sued

County Attorney is Sued
In an action where County
Attorney Tom C. Smith is made
defendant, Mrs. Mary c. Moore,
the plaintiff, asks that the
court give her a verdict for
S90.47, and the interest on that
sum from the date of April 1,
1906, at the rate Of six per
cent. Geo. w. Egan appears
as attorney for Mrs. Moore.
1t is stated in the petition
that while Mr.. Smith was act
ing as attorney for the estate
of Samuel Moore he came to
her and informed that she was
emit tied to $500 Al as her share
of the estate. Further it is
stated that she was told "some
parties, referring to mystical,
persons, were going to jump
onto her share and beat her out
of it; that he would give her
$500 and let her assign her in
terests to him and that he
would look after and take
chances with the alleged false
and mystical persons which he
had conjured up to brighten
and persuade the plaintiff to
accept of him the $780,"
The petition goes on to state
That Mrs. Moore, being a
wi low, unlearned in the law,
was made to believe that she
would lose her share of the es-
tate and that she did as she had
been advised to do.
She asks for the difference
between the alleged original
share of s390.47 and the $500
which was paid her with the
interest on the difference.
| Observer.
Just at this time there seems
to be scarcity of foreign and
domestic news, and the people
talk as if it is impossible to
exist as a people without a
regular telegraphic commune
cation between the sections.
Well, it is a little hard to get
along without such commune
cation, but we can remember
when such a thing as a tele-
graph was unheard of, and yet
the world continued to exist.
These disturbances will soon be
righted and the lightning will
again be brought into use and
news will be supplied as usual.
Let the people have patience
the telegraphers will soon be at
their posts and the news de.
partments will be in full work.

A letter received Friday by a
friend here announces the death
OF Mr.. E. Badly Blake. Mr..
Blake passed quitely away in the
Maryland General Hospital on
tide 23d inst. The direct cause of
his death blood was blood poison.
An operation was performed on
the ed and his left leg amputated
hoping this might prolong his
lite. but 1t was immediately dis
covered that the operation had
been useless. Mr.. Blake was a
prominent Mason and, we'll known
in business circles in Virginia and
Maryland. He travelled Tide
water Virginia for nearly thirty
years and made many lifelong
friends in this section. He was a
member of the Baptist church
from his early childhood. Mr..

Why not the god people of
Gwynns do the same thing. We
think Gwynns Island is one of
the most picturesque places in
Virginia and it seems a pity to see
her cemetery in such a deplora bic
state. A little effort on the part
OF the people would bring forth
good results. Let an association
be formed and a meeting called
tor this purpose and we have no
doubt good results will follow
1t the association were to arrange
plan similar to the one adopted
by the Trinity Association we
imagine 1t would be step in the
right direction. They called for
the people 6nae6. women and
chlldren) to assemble at the
cemetery on a certain day and
then and there clean up and put
the cemetery in shape. 1t was
done by the people on the main
land and l. can be done, and
done UelI, by the people on the
island. Don't haggle over it, form
an association and get to work.
