DR.. HOPE NOT DEAD.
Some Person Starts Rumor That
Hampton Physician Had Passed
AWAY.

A report, that caused much an
noyance 10 the family and friends of
DR.. j. Wilton Hope, gained currency
in Hampton early yesterday morning
to the effect that the well known
physician had died on his way to
Havana, Cuba. The source of the
report could not be traced.
Although thoroughly satisfied from
the source of the report that it
was untrue, Mrs, Hope forwarded a
cablegram to DR.. Hope asking about
his health and an answer is expected
from him this morning.
At the headquarters In Newport
News two cablegrams have been re-
'ceiyed from Havana, announcing
the safe arrival of the Sumner and
stating that every one on board had
a pleasant trip and all were well.
DR.. Hope accompanied Capt. Cha.s
Marrow, the transport surgeon on
the trip, and as Capt. Marrow is a
Hampton man he would lose little
time in reporting the illness of DR..
Hope were such the case.

AGREEMENT REACHED IN
The BANK TAX CASES
Financial Men Offer to Pay the coun-
ty Taxes for 1906 and Go On
the Regular As. .ssment

y conference OF the bankers Of
Elizabeth City county and Common
wealth's Attorney B. A. Lewis was

unjust to force them to the payment
of taxes dating further back than
1906.
