Hon. ". J. Bryan al Richmond.

The coming of lHon. William
Jennings Bryan to the Virginia
State Fair at Richmond, October
llth, is looked forward to with
eagerness by all those interested
in the political situation. 1t has
been rumored that Mr.. Bryan
will make a strong political ad-
dress and very probably he will
announce in pretty general terms
the platform which he would
like to see adopted by the Nat
ional Democratic Convention.
1t is barely possible Mr.. Bryan
will select the Old Dominion
State from which to issue to the
country sound Democratic plat
form on which all can unite, and
no more appropriate place can be
selected than the Virginia State
Fair where will be assembled
thousands of people from various
parts of the State. and the coun-
try folks who like so well to hear
good Democratic doctrine en-
pounded by such an able orator
as Mr.. Bryan.
At the headquarters of yhe Ar
rangement Committee for Mr..
Bryan's coming, letters are pour
ing in from prominent men
throughout the State accepting
the invitation extended them to
serve on the Reception Commit
tee TO welcome MIR. Bryan to the
Old Dominion. From present
indications there will be a record
breaking crowd. Full details OF
arrangements have not been an.
nounced, but il is understood that
they will be very elaborate.
Mr.. Bryan speaks in Nashville,
Tennessee, October 9th, and will
come directly from there to Rich.
mond. Mr.. Chas. B. Cooke,
chairman of the Arrangement
Committee, stated today that ht
had not anticipated such a hearty
response to his request for en-.
thusiastic welcome to Mr.. Bryan

the compromise was reached.

the compromise was reached.
The other case was that of R.
O. Scoggins against the Southern
road, for the same cause. Mrs.
Scoggins owned one acre of land
opposite the coal shute and her
husband owned two or three
acres adjoining that of his wife.
On that account it was necessary
to bring two seperate actions.
BY the terms of the comprom-
ise it was agreed that the COM
pany shall pay to the defendants
the sum of $1,000 in settlement
of the two suits for $1,000.
When this agreement was reach
ed the case came to an end with
out going to the jury. With
the end of the case came an end
to the other case, the counsel
preparing a judgment that COW
cred both litigations.
THE LEATHERS CASE.
The Leathers case is over the
ownership of some three quar-
tiers of an acre of land in Hayti.
Sandy Leathers, so the story is,
died and left will giving the
property in question to his two
sons and appointing Mr.. H. A.
Reams as executor. Later the
land was sold and the money di-
vided between the heirs. Mr..
B. L. Duke purchased the prop
erty, this being some sixteen
years ago. Since then heirs of
the wife of Sandy Leathers have
come on the property, took
charge and erected at least two
buildings. This was not known
until Mr.. Duke decided to get
possession of the property and
he found this obstacle in the
way. The occupants of the land
claimed that it was the property
of their mother and that their
father. who was twice married,
had no right to give it to others.
Then followed this suit of one
branch of the family, which by
administrator had sold to Mr..
Duke, against the other branch
that said the sail was illegal.
This is the matter now up.
Thursday morning this case
was settled by compromise. The
other case regarding the title to
the property is brought by B. L.
Duke to secure a clear deed.

DIVORCES GRANTED.

Another divorce was granted
Wednesday. Shuttle Edwards
against Zeb L. Edwards, was
given a hearing. She charged
infdelity on the part of her hus-
band and he did not appear to
answer the charge. The divorce
was then granted.
Lena F. Tucker brought suit
for divorce against Charles w.
Tucker. her husband. The hus-
band did not answer the charge
and the divorce was granted.
This made six for the week.
TELEPHONE CASE UP.
The case of Drs. J. NJ. Man
ming and T. A. Mann against the
Interstate Telegraph company,
was called Thursday. After
hearing the evidence in the case
the court decided that it was a
matter for the court and not for
the jury. The jury was dis
charged. II was then decided
that after supper the matter
should be argued to his honor and
that later on during the term the
decision of the court should be
rendered.
The case of Ernest Wrenr
against the American Tobacco
Company went off the docket by
a non-suit being taken. 1t is
now a settled fact that there will
be no court next week. This
is occasioned by the illness OF
Judge Council. Judge Allen,
who has been holding court thi:
