OYSTER SITUATION INVESTIGATED,

Richmond, Va, Sept. 20.-The
oyster situation in Virginia is emil
nently satisfactory from the SAM
tary standpoint, according to an
official statemept given out to-day
bv the State Health Department.
Experts in the service Of the De;
partment have recently examined
the oyster beds along the Chesa-
peake and have issued health GER
tifeates to scores of tonguers and
planters.
This investigation is the outcome
of the agitation of last winter, when
reports were circulated to the effect
that unhealthy oysters were being
supplied to northern markets by
Virginia dealers. These reports
did great damage to the oyster in
dustry, and threatened, for time,
to bankrupt number Of Large
packers.
At the request of the oyster
men. the State Health Department
| last winter made an investigation
of the situation, and found thai
conditions had been greatly exag'
gerated in the northern press. A
few planting beds were in an un
sanitary condition, but the MAORI
ty were above suspicion.
The investigation just conclude;
was intended by the health author
tiles to inspect the plants that wer'
condemned last year. Health 9th
GERS found that all the dangerou
oyster grounds had been abandon
ed, and that uniform improvement
had been made.
The decision of the health au
thorities was received with approx
al by those interested in the oyste
industry here, and has already LEI
to general rejoicing in the oyste
section of the state.

Through the courtesy of a Mon
terev friend. the Recorder received
a copy of the Philippi Republican,
of Sept. 2, containing an account
of the death of Mrs. Lucy M, Brad
ford, of Philippi, W. V. Deceased
was sister of Mrs. c. S. NJ. See,
well-known and beloved by Monte
reyans, all of whom will sympa-
thize with herr in this affection. Mrs.
Bradford is spoken of as one "of a
kind and generous disposition, and
possessed of nobility of character
and easy manner that always won
for her host of admiring friends
and companions who remained
steadfast to the end"
The Staunton Daily News does
Highland County an injustice by
parading the exploits of one of her
"af1icted youngsters" from year
to year, without explaining that he
is NON compos mentis, fact we'll
known at home and quite evident
abroad. To parade the ridiculous
and silly conduct of an imbeclle
under the glaring and unqualified
heading of "a Young highland
Man." is a reflection upon the eoun-
ty, which, doubtless, the Dispatch
overlooks.
