Jersey Devil in Virginia.

A report from Hightown by way of
Harrisonburg says that David Freeze,
has just seen what some declare is the
famous Jersey devil, reported to have
first been seen in New Jersey, whence
it gets its name. Freeze says that the
strange bird or beast was flying direct
ly over him and had head like a
horse, feet and legs like mule, and
scared along on great red wings. 1t is
said that the animal was seen in West
Virginia some months ago, and it is
supposed to have lived in mountains,
feeding On bear and deer. 1t is most
extraordinary combination of beast
and bird ever seen in these parts.

AUGUSTA WANTS TO PAY Tolls.
So the House, After Mnch Debate,
Passes Local Bill Relating
to Roads.

Richmond Journal of Wednesday,
A lively debate occurred in the House
today when Senate Bill No. l, amend.
ing the=road law of Augusta SO as to al.
low tolls to be charged on the maca-
dam roads of that county, came up on
its third reading.
The measure was repo ted adversely
by the House Committee on Roads
and Internal Navigation. Chairman
Throckmorton, of that committee, en-
tered a vigorous protest against the
measure He said it was unconstitu-
tional and that it was subversive of the
present movement looking towards
State aid for highways. Mr.. Throck-
morton urged the defeat of the bill.
Speaker Byrd delegate Cooke in the
chair favored the passage of the bill,
which, he said, was a purely local
measure. He insisted that the author
tiles of Augusta wanted the bill passed,
and he saw no reason why this should
not be done. 1t took much money to
keep these fine highways in good re-
pair.
Delegate Taliaferro also inveighed
against the measure. He thought it a
bad precedent to allow the establish
ment of toll roads. Delegate Keyser,
of Roanoke, likewise thought the toll
system was a step backward.
Judge Yarrell, of Greenesville, put in
a ringing plea for the passage OF the
bill. Delegate Deal, of Norfolk, lined
up with the opposition. He dwelt on
the petty annoyance of having to pay
tolls in all seasons and sounded an ear
nest warning against the measure.
Colonel West, of Nansemond, added
yet another voice to the opposition. He
declared that he stood for free roads as
we'll as for free schools. The toll road
IS thing of the past, he said.
Delegate Kemper, of Augusta, said
ne was for good roads rather than free
.oads. He begged his associates to pass
;he bill, which he declared was favor
ID by all his constituents. The House
passed the measure by vote of II to
2.

Cutter Company Making Big Hits.

The Gutter Stock Company has been
drawing large audiences to the Beverly
Theatre this week. The plays already
presented have thoroughly pleased the
audiences, and continues to grow in IA
vor, and there is every reason to believe
that it will pack the theatre every
night, as it should do. Miss Myrtle
Bigden is demonstrating her ability as
an emotional actress and has already
become decided favorite with local
theatre goers. Her support is all that
could be asked. Max L. Schrade as
Hewey Bartlett gave especially finish
ed reformance last night, and his work
was literally applauded. The special
ties between acts were good, the illus
trated song and moving pictures max
ing big hit.
Besides the regular night perform
ances they will give matinees this af-
ternoon and Saturday, this afternoon
they will repeat ''The Triumph of
Betty" and Saturday will present
"Mollie Bawn." The matinee prices
are 10 and 20 cents.

SHORT COURSE IN FARMING.

| WHAT THE FARMERS THINK OF THE
COURSE OF THE V. P. 1.
Blacksburg, Va, Feb. 2.-Represen-
tative farmers from over the state, who
attended the ''Farmers Short Course"
at the State Agricultural College here,
are returning to-day to their homes
highly pleased with their experience
and the treatment accorded them; also
filled with the newest and the best
ideas in modern and profitable farm
Tag, dairying and fruit growing, pres
ented to them in such practical ways
that they will be enabled to make large
use of them in the future.
The four weeks of the course were
divided as follows: the first two weeks
were devoted to general farming and
live stock husbandry; the third week
to dairying; and the fourth week to
fruit growing. The lectures were ac-
companied by practical demonstration
and actual work in which all partici-
pated. The value of the instruction
came with such force to the members
of the class that at meeting held by
them few days ago it was unanimous
ly and without solicitation decided to
urge every farmer or fruit grower in
Virginia, and especially their sons, to
arrange to take advantage of the next
course offered, if even but for a single
week. The only cost, aside from board
ing, was S1.O0 paid the College as a
matriculation fee from each student,

STOCKS

Boston-The market tonight looks
more discouraging than it has for some
time. There were two bullish factors
this morning, the reduction in the
bank of England rate and the hope
ful attitude of the steel company.
Neither of these however had any eff
feet in checking the decline and prices
sagged lower all through the session
Independent steel companies are conf
dent that steel prices must be lower
and are under selling the big company
all the time. Coppers showed more
liquidation today than for some time
past and the buying power was very
small. Lack of public speculation has
caused most Of the floor traders to take
the bear side and they find it very
easy To break prices but we do not
think they will find many stocks for
sale when they try TO cover. We feel
so confident in the metal situation that
we have no hesitation to advise the
purchase Of all good coppers on these
weak days.-Foster of Paine, Weber
& Co.

UNLISTED STOCKS.

]. \. Minnear q Co, say today:
Following another day of drastic Ii
quotation there was a slight rally just
before the close. The wave of selling
seems To be still in evidence. Market
are searching every corner
for an adequate reason To account
for the existing weakness; but no sim
gle one cause can Zoe located. De-
clines today ranged from one to four
points while the average loss was
close to two points. Copper stocks
were also lower largely in sympathy
with the New York trading. North
Butte broke below $50, CRANKY was
off to 500. Copper Range sold at s6s
and 80 1t went throughout the whole
list.
Talk OF the forthcoming producers
statement indicates a slight reduction
for the month just past. Trading on the
curb was brisk as might be expected
and in several instances lower prices
were recorded. While the whole market
is weak we could hardly feel inclined
10 sell stocks on this break.
