ATTENTION FARMERS.

Wednesday afternoon, Feb.
7<th. Mr.. I. c. Johnson, Super
intendant of Virginia Experiment
Truck Farm at Norfolk will speak
at Miles store near Hicks Wharf.
On Thursday the 2Sth. he will
speak in the Court House at
Mathews at $50 p. M. Every
body interested in truck farming
are most cordially INVITED to at
tend both of these meetings as
they are of the greatest value to
farmers of all kinds but more par
.tiCularly TO truckers. Mr.. John
son is a ready fluent speaker;well
equipped TO inform truckers in
their division of agriculture. He
is entirely practical. and his ad-
dresses are not above the heads
of farmers as are those of some of
the speakers from the depart
ment at Washington. Every far
mer in Mathews ought to be pres
ent at one of these meetings.
Those from adjoining counties
will be cordially welcomed also.
In the year just past it is rsti-
mated that Truck to the value Of
81, 600. 5000 was marketed from
the two counties of Accomac and
Northampton. 1t is known that
81. 500. 600 was sold through the
Eastern Shore Produce Exchange
alone. Whatever, is done there
can be done here. There is no
better trucking lands anywhere
than ours. MathewsCounty ought
to produce 100000 from truck
every year. and Gloucester Coun-
tY twice as much more. Since
the organization of the Produce
Exchange on the Eastern Shore
those counties. -Accomsc and
Northampton-have become rich.
Truckers there attribute their
success in marketing, their pro-
dxcts.to their organization the Ex-
change.
A movement is on foot to or
ganize a Producers Association
which shall comprise of Mathews
and Gloucester and truckers from
any adjacent territory who may
desire to come in.

SLAvONIA PASSENGERS SAFE
Rescuers Called Quickly by Means Of
Wireless Telegraph.

One hundred and ten saloon pass
engers and 800 from the steerage who
left New York for Naples and Genoa
on the liner Slavonia, which was
wrecked off Flores island in the Az
ores, passed through the exciting ex-
perience without injury.
The steerage passengers were land
ed on Flores island.
The cabin passengers were taken
on board the North German Lloyd
liner Princess Irene.
All of the passengers are uninjured,
the rescue having been effected quick
ly when the two liners, which hap.
pened to be passing near by, were
called to the wrecked ship by wire
less telegraph.
The Slavonia, it is thought, will be
an entire wreck, for the floating of the
ship seems impossible.

REVISION IN ITS LAST DAYS
General Feeling That End Is Likely to
Come Before SATURDAY..

Tome 6SIOFe SATURDAY.
At Washington the feeling in all fac
tons in the senate is that the tariff
bill is approaching the last days Of
it's consideration. Senator Aldrich
is hopeful that the end may be reached
by next Saturday. and many of the con-
sentative Republicans, as well as many
of the Democrats, are inclined to agree
with this prediction. The progressive
Republicans are not quite so Optimis-
tie.
The income tax amendments to the
bill will be taken up for consi, Grafton
on Friday and a vote may be cached
on them the same day.
Among the more important provi-
sios still to be considered are those
pertaining to lumber, wood pulp, print
paper, hides, coal. zinc, window glass,
scrap iron, cotton ties, cotton bagging,
leather, leather goods, binding twine
and petroleum.
