Mann was a gallant soldier in times
of peace you know his sympathy has
been with you.
Judge Mann has had an honorable
career. Three times he was elected
Judge by Democratic legislatures, and
once by the readjuster and funder
Democrats three times in succession
he has been elected as a Democrat and
by the Democrats of his senatorial
district to the Virginia Senate four
years ago in contest, in which there
was no mudslinging, he was second in
field OF three distinguished men.
In the Virginia legislature, no man
was more prominent. He was Chair
man of the Democratic joint legisla-
tion caucus, an honor considering the
ability of his associates. He has been
Chairman of the judiciary committee
of the Senate, aud member of the
committee OF Finance and Banks, and
Privileges and Elections.
In the course of service, Judge Mann
offered many bills, among them vari-
Gus measures in behalf OF the Con-

esteem their good name will hesitate
to put themselves up for target.

Every one who has handled an oyster

layers overlapping each other These
are technically named shots, and each
one marks a years growth, so that by
counting them the age Of the oyster
can be determined. Up TO the time
OF its maturity-that Is. when four
years Of age-the shots are regular and
successive. but after that time the!

upon another so that the shell becomes

have been seen Of which each shell
was nine inches thick, whence they
may be guessed to be more than 300
