CREW OF PUNGY RESCUED.

Only the heroic work of the crew of
the steamer Northumberland. of the
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Rail
way Company, saved the crew of the
disabled pungy Andrew Bradshaw from
drowning. The pungy was in a sinking
condition when picked up, and the crew
was exhausted after &c hours battle
against wind and waves.
One side of the huh of the pungv
was stove in, both masts were down
and the crew had worked at the pumps
day and night and were about to
give up in despair when the steamer
hove in sight. The pungy, with distress
signals flying, was sighted by the steam
er about O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
November 5th, four miles below Coan
river Capt. Joseph Smith saw that
the pungy was laboring badly and
turned the bow of the steamer in that
direction. The wind was blowing a gale
and the crew of the Northumberland
experienced great difficulty in approach
ing the disabled ship. Finally a line was
gotten on the pungy and the steamer
began to tow her. The sea was run
ming SO high that it was impossible to
take the exhausted men on the steamer
They stuck to their pumps so the pun
gy would not sink beneath their feet
While the steamer towed them to safety.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.

The editor of the CITIZEN wishes he
could in appropriate measure render
gratitude for the many verbal and writ
ten compliments on his letters from
Europe. He thought they would be OF
only passing interest, and thoroughly
scanned by but few, they having been
written on the fly, sometimes by candle
light and sometimes upon his knee or
train. with no opportunity for revising
or proof-reading.
Some day-when the cares of the
world are not so pressing, when our
delinquent subscribers replenish empty
coffers-he may compile them in pam
phlet form as suggested by many
friends, among themlRev. E. G. Moseley,
of the Danville Methodist. who paws in
the following the highest of compliments
(hardly deservedly):
EDITORS VISIT ABROAD.
The recent few months visit of Mr..
w. Mcdonald Lee, editor of the VIR-
GINA CITIZEN, to the Far East has
proven of incalculable interest and pro-
mt to the readers of the CITIZEN,
it IS fortunate indeed to the read
ing public that one so well quail
ned as Mr.. Lee to describe what
Is seen on such an interesting tour
IN the graphic manner as he has done
taxes such trip. His description of
the countries and customs of the people
IN Switzerland, Italy and other hiehlv
interesting sections of the old world Wis
tied has given his readers a portrayal
that is more than Interestingly has
been positively helpful and instructive
from any point of view his correspon-
dence has been read. 1t is refreshing in
deed to be able, as Mr.. Lee has done, to
see with an eye keen to the spiritual
interest OF the people and describe to
his readers so minutely and intelligently
as 10 make the reader almost feel that
a personal tour of the places visited by
the gifted writer had been made.
we hope upon the conclusion of the
splendldly written story that this Chris
tan editor is weekly contributing to his
paper, that he will republish the same
IN pamphlet form. so that the general
Pubiic may enjoy reading at one sitting
his splendid contribution to helpful. in.
structive and entertaining reading. We
say again 1T was real service to the
readers OF the VIRGINIA CITIZEN that
Mr., Lee made the voyage and brought
back with him such vivid pen-pict1re
OF what he saw and heard. A tourney
taken by such scholar is nothing short
OF public benefaction when its results
prove so interesting and instructive to
others as have the letters of the gifted
editor of the VIRGINIA CITIZEN.
We wish to thank Mr.. Lee personally
Tor the profit derived from his tour. in
having had the pleasure of reading his
description OF same in the columns of
his splendid paper. M

ELECTION AFTERMATH.
Official Returns Make Some Slight
Chances.

The following corrections of the
meagre reports last week are made:
Saunders (Dem.) is elected in the
Fifth Virginia by 70 majority.
Missouri goes for Taft and elects g
Republican Governor.
Taft has 3l9 electoral votes against
156 for Bryan.
Virginia elected nine democratic Con.
gressmen, Slemp, republican, being re-
elected in the Ninth District.
Completed returns from Maryland
show that while Mr.. Taft has carried
the State by popular plurality of some
600, he has secured only two electors
there, as against six for Mr.. Bryan.
The betting fraternity is in a quandary
over this curious situation, and stake
holders decline to deliver until acknowl-
edged authority announces who really
carried the State.
The House apparently will stand PIG
Republicans, It's Democrats, a Demo
cratic gain of nine. Speaker Cannon
will be reelected and the minority lead
ership will probably go to Champ Clark,
of Missouri.
The Democrats won sweeping vic
tory in Nebraska, carrying the State
for Bryan, electing the governor and
five of the six congressman, and secur-
ing an overwhelming majority in the
legislature.
Judge Harmon (Dem.) was elected
governor of Ohio by TO- plurality.
Taft's plurality in the State is so, 900.
The legislature is in doubt.

OF that very original and graphic
story, 1.-The Gift of the Morning.

has given US a delightful little
romance OF Tidewater Virginia,
the Virginia of Colonial days, to
which so many of us turn our
hearts with increasing interest as
that period of Virginia history
recedes in the distance. Mr..
9ordon locates his narrative in
ths heart of Lancaster and Mid.

calls to life in an exceedingly

skill by the writer. The genuine

resist the temptation to flirt Just

so that the industry has been carried

RATHER AMUSING.

Every now and then our home insur.
ance office is peppered with letters
from restless and anxious patrons who
fear they are not in good standing upon
the books. because forsooth they have
not been assessed of late.
1t has been about year since there
was assessment in Class X (stores and
such like) and nearly year since an
assessment was issued in the preferred
class. That means getting safe ins,,r-
ance for something like one per cent a
year in Glass X and about a third of
one per cent in Class A. But this hap
Ply condition cannot always prevail.
We must have fires. and sometimes
many big ones, as the records of the
year 1907 revealed. That was a disas-
trous year, while the present one has
been a very mild one as to fires.
The world is made up of all kind of
natures, and while some want to be as
sessed to know that we care still aliye''
others kick on the first and every SUBJ

is always looking to get something for
nothing. Three years ago the Irving
