Fifteen wears ago there was no
industry in James City
county. The thousands Of acres of
now valuable trucking lard was "
ing idle. It's wealth undreamed Of.
Land that could not be bought now
for srom $50 to 500 per acre. could
then be bought for a song.
But il was for an industrious. level

bilities of the soil. That man was
Mr. Cary c. Branch. Il was prob
ably about fifteen years ago this
summer that he started the now
prosperous trucking industry.
To give some idea of the imnens-
ity OF the trucking business. we
would state that one agent alone sold
100 tons of gusno. ard scversl others
sold large quantities. Practically
all Of this was to DC used for Irish
potatoes alone.
Seventy thousand barrels for Do
tatoes were shipped into Toano.
This does not include what was
shipped to other stations along the
Peninsula. If the barrels al Toano
were all used. and figuring the av-
erage Dnce of potatoes $3.50 per
barrel. then S14S.OOO was paid the
roano truckers this season.
The acreage this year was nearly
double that Of last. but the yield
was about halt as large as last year
It is estimated that the largest
trucker in the county cleared from
$4,000 to $1,000 on his crop.

FOR THOSE FOND OF SALADS.
These Directions Will Insure Success
at All Times.

To keep the salad oil cruet clear
and sweet add a tablespoonful of salt
to quart of oil. The oil will not
taste of the salt, as the latter will not
dissolve but will sink to and settle
at the bottom of the cruet.
In mixing salads the oil should be
added first and thoroughly spread be-
fore adding the other ingredients and
mixing.
Salads which are very moist and cool
particularly ucumber-should
have an extra pinch of pepper added
to counteract the chilling effect on
the eaters stomach.
Cold string bean salad should have
double dose of vinegar, as beans
possess in great degree the nutritious
and healthful food salts which develop
to perfection in acid
Whenever il is possible pure lemon
juice should be substituted for vinegar
as being far more wholesome than the
latter.
Epdives-the pale, cool, succulently
curly chicory- should be scald-
ed and then chilled to make it more
digestible for elderly folk, children OF
weak digestioned invalids.

politeness, rising and turning her back
In short time he said: Nov, mad

When the lady turned she beheld
her male companion transformed into

her face.

Mr.. Crawford has written an in

A Novel Eruit Dish.

A novel fruit dish that not only
keeps its contents perfectly cold but
serves as very attractive and decora-
live centerpiece is seen in some of the
Fifth avenue shops, says the New
York Herald. 1t has met with great
success during the summer months
when fruit had to be well chilled to
mako 1t at all appetizing. There are
two dishes, in fact, one fitting inside
the other. The outer one is either
porcelain or glass, and has heavy
silver rim. The inner one matches 1t
and Is smaller by at least two inches
In circumference, SO that when this
one is placed inside the other there
Is a space large enough all around to
hold plenty of cracked ice. When this
Is filled with ice the fruit is kept at
the right temperature, yet 1t never
comes in direct contact with the ice
Itself.

GIRL DEFlED A WHOLE ARMY.
Feminine Toll-Gate Keeper Paid by

1t Is related that the army headed
by Sheridan and his staff, left Win

morning, the column moving toward
Stephens City. Just as day was break
ing the staff reached the toll-gate and
was much discounted to find the toll
pole down and guarded by young
and beautiful girl, Charlotte Hillman
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the war-hardened Sheridan
seems not to have been proof against
the persuasion of pair of black eyes
and a pretty face, and when toll was
demanded, straightway produced the

through the gate, 81 cannot vouch for

When the common soldiery came
the girl again lowered the toll-bar
and demanded toll This was met
by jeers from the soldiers, where
upon she wisely raised the guard All
day the dusty troopers passed through
and all day Charlotte Hillman stood
at her post. For every ten soldiers
who passed the gate she cut a notch
in the toll-pole. Early fled beyond the
Blue Ridge with the remnants of his
disorganized army; in the Valley of
Virginia, Lee, beaten back by Grants
overwhelming numbers, gave up the
fight; in the southeast Joe Johnston
fired the last burlesque shots and
peace came again over the north and
south. Then, when relations with
Washington had been re-established

Booker T. Washington, at a dinner
In Cleveland during the National Ed
vocational associations convention,
was complimented by a clergyman on
his eloquence.
Mr. Washington, in reply, told a
story of southern minister who could
not have been very eloquent.
"One Sunday morning" he said, "in
the midst of this minister's sermon, a
head poked itself through the door of
the vestry, and a low, tremulous voice
said:
Parson, the church is on fire
Very well, Brother spriggins, the
minister answered, i will retire. Per

OF TELEeRAMs A YEAR
England Sends Almost 100000 in
TWelvemonth.

According to the figures published
by the German imperial post office,
the record of sending the most tele-
grams in a year belongs to the people
of England, who dispatched almost
94,000,000 during the year 1906 The
United States came next, with 65,
100000, and then France with 5S,000,
600. Germany occupied fourth place
with 52,500000 kilograms. The Jap
anese figures are "a, 50O,O 600, and those
for Russia only 2S,000,000, including
all the country's Asiatic possessions
But Russia paid for them the large
sum of s20,675,000, while Germany's
outlay was only sS,750,000. During
the same period the American COM
panies took in roughly s290O0,000 OF
the European countries Spain, for it's
size, has the smallest Geographic
traffic, the smallest number of miles
of wire and the smallest income pro-
portionately to her population. So far
as mileage is concerned, the United
States leads all the other nations, but
no one who has resided abroad ever
fails to note how much more frequent
ly English and Germans use the tele
graph for short distance communica
lions than is the case here, says the

opment of the telephone in this coun-
try, also far ahead of anything similar
in Europe, accounts in large measure

Trouble Birds Nest Caused

A hatpin used by a pair of swallows
as the foundation for their nest, built
between two wires, put the entire po-
lice alarm system of the suburbs of
Ballard out of business. The police
alarm wires from Ballard to headquar-
tiers at the city hall were tested box
by box until the trouble was located
1t was discovered that difficulty lay
between the box at Fremont and the
one next south. The electricians could
find nothing more serious than swal-
lows nest. Investigation showed that
the nest, which stretched from one
wire TO another, a distance of about
eight inches, was built on a hatpin,
which touched both wires and short
circuited the whole system Seattle
