Too delegates to the Demo

ers declare that if Judge~Gray. of

the gayety of the campaign aud
force them TO keep their Doodle

THURSDAY. APRIL p, ,gos.

PRESENT Indications are that
the fishermen will have a poor
season this year, due to several
causes, mainly, however. the
scarcity Of fish. For the most
the citizens of this county relv
upon the fish and oyster business
Tor an existence and in our hum
bic judgment in this they make a
serious mistake. There is no
better soil in this section of the
State than is TO be found IN
Mathews, and while some of our
citizens are improving their farm
lands and growing " trucks" of
different kinds for the market
greatly to their financial benefit.
others seem to pay little or no
attention to this mode of making
a living. We may be WRONG. but
we do not think we are, when we
say that there is not an owner OF
land in the county, who, if he de-
voted the same time, attention
and money to farming that he
does to the water. the result
would be far more satisfactory
We draw this conclusion from
observations made and informa-
ton gathered in our travels
through the county. We Go not
mean to say that all of the Math-
ews farms are neglected-Qnite
the cOntrary-many are splen-
dIdly cultivated and improved
But there are many others entirely
neglected. There is no life more
attractive than that Of a farmer
and it's profitable. too. if you 90
at ii right.

TAPPAHANNOCK, April 2o.-One
of the LARGEST crowds in attend

ty for many years was present to-
day IN anticipation of the trial of
Nj. b. Wright, j., for the murder
OF his stepfather, Thos. (. Nc
Daniel, on the 3Oth of June last.
Young Wright bitterly opposed
the marriage OF his mother to Nc
Daniel and made matters gener-
ally unpleasant around the place
Tor several months after the mar
rage, but it was finally thought
that harmony prevailed between
all concerned. But on the day
above mentioned. however.
Wright being under the influence
of liquor, was in a SIN III dwelling
on the farm of the Wright heirs,
just out of town, and occupied by
family, behaving very badly.
Reports of his conduct were
brought to Mr.. McDaniers ears
and he went out 10 quiet matters.
Shortly afterward message was
sent III that Mcdaniel had been
killed and citizens and officers Of
the law hurried to the scene of
the trouble. Suspicion pointed
strongly to Wright as the guilty
party, and he was arrested and
placed in jail. where he tas been
since.
The case had been postponed
from time to tine until to-day,
when it came up before Judge ].
NJ, Mullen of Petersburg, he har-
ing been appointed by the Gov
ernor III the place Of Judge
Wright, who declined to sit.

scented the Commonwealth. while

Young Wright was brought into
court about II o'clock and great
ly 70 the surprise Of a large ma
jority of the crowded court room
answered guilty" TO Clerk
Southworth's question. Mr.. Lee
for the defense then addressed
the court in Il most touching
manner, saying that ii bad been
agreed by all parties concerned
that Justice would be melted out
to the prisoner with a verdict of
eleven and a half years in the
State Penitentiary and Judge
Mullen so ordered in 4 most

This ends what bid far 90 be
one OF the most lannon's cases this
