In the downpour of rain one day
this week such hapless man was
seen trudging around Winchester
looking for home for his family,
a wife and three small children. He
had rented from the same landlord
fl number Of years, and always
had been prompt in the payment of
his rent vet the landlord recently
sold the house to a new owner, and
the latter now desires immediate
possession of the same.
This man had looked for a place
to tai:t his family during Saturday
night, and he resumed his quest all
day Monday, without being able to
firti any place to rent; yet he must
-vacaGe lus present home and must
take chances on finding some place
to shelter his family. He said that
at the present moment his wife was
al the place they called home with
various pans sitting on top of the
stove catching the rain water which
fell il steady streams through holes
in .he roof while the cellar twas

During the past two years smI-

Alexandria brought about by the
sudden demand for increased rents.

Houses are scarce in this city, as
they are in all other places at this
time. and as winter is now at our
doors persons forced to remove
from che cause or another are ex-
Dcriencing troubles similar to those

Der OF property owners in Wlnches-
ter, taking advantage Of the scar
city of houses, have resorted to the
methods which are being denounced
all over the country in increasing
the rent on their tenants, or else
threatening them with ev:ct::1n just
now as the Geld weather is about to
set in.
Numerous cases of advances IN
rents and complaints from the hap
less tenants have been received and
in most cases. these tenants have
sought legal advice, only to be told
that there is no remedy at law and
that if they are notified to vacate
premises they must do so within
the time limit. ~.
Thelc seems to- be an impression
prevailing ); among many tenants
that the law permits a tenant to
remain in 4 house after the lease
expired. provided the tenant is I'M
able to-. secure another dwelling.
There is no such law on the statute
books and the tenant has no. re-
course whatever at law when his
