The Norfolk Landmark says that 1t
is informed by Mr.. Jos. T. Lawless that
at banquet given by the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce, during the ad-
ministrration OF Gov. O'Ferrall, a
young gentlemen nance Valentine was
introduced by the POSTMASTER as the
author of the we'll known poem begin
ming :.
"The roses nowhere bloom so white
AS in Virginia"
We have reason TO think that this
is a mistake, and that these beautiful
verses we're written by young gen.
tleman, Mr.. Fl. Curran Wilbur who
is on the editorial staff of the Jackson
Vile (Florida) Times-Union. In 1902,
Mr.. Wilbur, who is a Pennsylvania
by birth, was residing in Wheeling,
W. Va, and was on the editorial staff
of the Wheeling Register, probably as
local editor.
Here are the beautiful verses:
In VIRGINIA.
The roses nowhere bloom so white
As in Virginia.
The sunshine nowhere shines so bright
AS in Virginia.
The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet
And nowhere hearts so lightly beat,
For heaven and earth both seem to
meet
Down in Virginia.
The DAVIS are never quite so long
Asin Virginia.
Nor quite so filled with nappy song
AS in Virginia.
And when my time has come to die
lust take me back aud let me lie
Close where the James goes rolling by
Down In Virginia.
There nowhere isa land so fair
AS in Virginia.
So full Of song, so free OF care.
AS in Virginia
And I believe that Happy Land
The Lord prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan
OF old Virginia.

rhe baseball game advertised for
n..aay afternoon between the West
s'lm Reach and Fort Pierce teams,
= plsyed on schedule time, although
4. resther was anything but favora-
n Tor baseball playing Besides that,
a sad story to relate, for the home
an received large doses of bad medi-
.ns and carried off defeat to the
ppe Of 5 toS'
The arst few innings we're played in
~ rain, and during the balance of the
,,me the balls were so wet they were
dHculI to handle.
The story Is very short, for during
ne first three innings the visitors had
4 ali their own way and piled up
enough runs to put the game on ice for
ksaps Some Of the home team at
dobt Of this lost all their ginger and
shyed a dumb game, while the visit.
bg play rs put up their best game to
he finish.
h was not until the fifth inning that
,Dy man of the locals reached second
hse, but after that several chances
ssre gsven them to score two or three
nsn If only good long hit would ma
erialize. This, however, did not hap
ben at the right time, and all they got
through during the game was three
usasly scores against the eight for the
idiors,
There is no excuse to be put up for
he loss Of the game. The Beach boys
nt up a good game considering the
additions, and the home team played
nllen ball at times and at times put up
ilnIr article Of ball The only reason
any did not win was because they did
BOT send enough men around the cir
