ALL READY TO
VOTE FOR STUART.
Buchanan Democrats In Good
Shape For Fall Election.
Tragedy at Skeggs.

Grundy, May 4-Never in the
memory of the writer has a congress
sional election acroused the interest
OF Democrats in Buchanan as the
present capmaign has already done
When Saturday sun goes to rest
every Democrat in Buchanan will
have his tax paid ready to vote for
Stuart in November. The workers
and leaders will not allow interest
to die out, but on election day the
full vote will be cast.
Stuart is well known in the coun-
ty and many Republicans admire
him. He will get few votes along
the line of discontented Republicans
an will not lose one of his own
faith.
Judge William f. Burns, who is
acquainted with every man in Rus
sell county, said while in Grundy
last week that every Democrat
would be at his voting place in No
vember and a majority would be
Stuart's in Russell county and Judge
Martin Williams said the same
thing OF Giles county.
At Skeggs, on the Garden Creek
last week, the wife of John Nj. il.
RatliT was found in we'll dead,
supposed to have committed suicide.
The family were all away attending
the burial of John Horn, who resided
in the neighborhood. When Mr..
Ratliff returned home he found his
wife missing from her bed where sne
had been confined for more than
three months, and had only been out
OF doors once in all that time. He
found her shoes, comb, and crutches
near the we'll and hatchet that had
been used in prizing Off the boards
that were on the well box Ii is the
opinion of most people that ill
health and trouble over domestic
matters caused her TO take her own
life, while others think she was
thrown into the we'll by her slayer.
Her husband is said To have been
unkind To her, not allowing her TO
visit her relatives, though they lived
in sight of her door. He would not
allow them TO visit her at any time.
She was sister of a B, w p, J II
and G w McGlothlin, all prominent
citizens of Buchanan county, except
b, who recently moved TO New
Mexico.

Reading The WeekIies?

The Buena Vista Times thinks
there is much more good roads talk
in the papers than we have observed
and asks whether we read our county
exchanges as they come in to find
out the facts. Do we? We should
like TO know how we could ever
judge the real sentiment of the peo
pie of the State if we did not. Can
we sit here in Richmond and know
what the people OF Franklin or
Nansemond or Giles are thinking ?
Can we hope to tell how the counties
stand on the tax question or the good
roads question,o or any other question,
unless we read what the rural editors
say on these subjects?
There can be no more mistaken
idea than that the county paper has
no place in journalism or that it
should not be encouraged. Altogether
apart from its editorial articles,
the county weekly is essential for
the information of its own people.
Most of its subscribers read city
paper and know, in the main, what
the world is doing but they buy the
home paper and read it, because they
want to know what their neighbors
are doing. The county paper which
furnishes this news has just as legitl

a horse of the famous old Fancy
Boy type and breeding.
Remember, if you want TO raise
five gated saddle horses that the
pace is the fundamental principal.
If your colt does not pace first, last
and all the time, your prospect for
n promising saddle horse is naturally
blighted. Directly Boy, above all,
is bound 10 transmit the natural
pace. In different articles i'm the
Horseman and Spirit OF the
Times" we read this: 1.-THE ability
to reproduce gait with comparative
certainty, the Tennessee PAGER, Brown
Hal is decidedly the king" A lso
about twelve months later: "For
faithful reproduction OF gait and
type the Hal family are far ahead
of the trotter."
Directly Boy has been foundered
and has had his tendons badly
sprung by hard racing, and is still,
on the road, he can show you that
nodding wakl that carries solid COM
fort and covers distance. Directly

The Show

The weather was against the
show people on Wednesday, and the
management said that they did not
make any money. The impression
got out that this was q small show.
one reason being, perhaps, that they
gave no street parade, and did no
blustering-blood and thunder ad-
vertising. But it was not "littIe
show" by any means. There was
nothing little about it except the
crowd in attendance, and this was
good, the day considered. The acting
all the way through. was good, and
some of it the best ever seen here.
The tight rope acting OF the two
brothers and sisters, was, beyond
question, as fine as could be. The
chief recommendation OF the Sun
Brothers its utter absence. OF any,
thing like immortality in any of the
forms so generally found with the
ciIcus. "a clean, nice show" every
body said.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 3.-(Special
Telegram -Charles Hensiger. jr., son of
G. c. r. Henslger of the Grand Island Gas
company, was overcome by gas at the
works Saturday and the efforts OF three
physicians failed to restore him. Death re-
suited shortly after he was found. The lad
was junior in the high school, but pre-
ferred to work during the vacation and
was generally engaged with the main ex-
tension work
The foreman this morning sent him to
the works to place cap on a pipe in the
purifying room. The youth had apparently
about completed the work when he fell,
overcome by the effects of the gas. He
had made for the upper rooms and outer
air Thomas Duffy, for many years con-
nected with the company, noticed a win
dow open that is usually closed and looked
about, finding the boy PROSTATE on the first
landing of the stairs He quickly carried
the youth out of the building and called
the physicians, who labored several hours
without avail.
