Fires have been comfortable and
wood in demand.
I Our garden gives US peas in abund-
ance and Irish potatoes enough, though
they are not yet as large as some we
have heard of from Stafford in days
gone by. Tomatoes and snaps are
dwarfed and unpromising. Much corn
will be planted over and the work is
well on the way.
The school here will close Friday with
appropriate exercises.
Enumeration is over and our popula-
ton seems to be growing smaller.
Wheat. not as good as last year, is
heading well and promises hoe cakes a
plenty.
Caterpillars are abundant and birds
are having lively time.
Grass is yellow and puny.
Mr.. Dave Voolfolk, of "Claytons, "

Last week, | am credibly informed.
two Of Spotsylvania S favored sons
went TO Richmond for a little recrea-
ton. While there the senior of the
| twain purchased a TWENTY-FIVE dollar
suit of underwear. donned his swallow
tail and the gents took two fair Rich
mond damsels TO the Jefferson to tea
and parlor chat. that run the dollars
TO the teens, thence to the Academy of
Music to a swell play. Now the senior
says he is not going TO Richmond any
more with his recent chum, but the
girls are hoping they will be in again
soon, declaring that Richmond boys are
far behind our cousins in the elegance
and profusion of entertainment.
| Mr.. q. +. Waugh with his handsome
family (the Waughs are all good-look
ing and as my acquaintance runs, as
good as good-looking) speeds the hand
soonest car yet in service in this county.
Hon. c. c. Taliaferro is enjoying
luscious strawberries, cherries and
garden vegetables from his farm near
Nason's. Mr.. Taliaferro is a success
in the higher walks of life. A model
farmer, husband and father. AS a
representative of his county in the Leg
islature he has been and is now an
honest, fearless champion and defender
of the best interests of his people.
| Watchful, laborious, jealous and of
sterling integrity, his record is clean
and praiseworthy. Orange has not
mistaken her best interest in choosing
Mr.. Taliaferro as her representative
and as such he will increase in efficiency
and service. Long may he live to serve
this people.
