gru |>rt.
(Special to Virginian-Pilot.)
Suffolk. Va., January 7.?That came
near being a serious case?the row
which came about as a result of a dis?
agreement between neighbors over the
fence and no fence question, near
Chuckatuck this week. Charged with
an attempt to malm and disfigure Job
Holland, W. Ii. Pruden appeared before
Justice Kley in Suffolk this morning.
He was represented by Lawyer J. U.
Binges. Jiulge Ii. Ii. Bawles was there
to prosecute. Pruden was lined $100
and costs of court.
The whole thing had its origin In
fence disputes. The defendant went to
Holland's house and a lively exchange
of names soon began. Holland had a
piece of llghtwood and Pruden had a
gun. Holland was struck over the
head with the gun and knocked down.
There were two ugly looking gashes.
Holland was not able to apsear in
court to-day, and he is not yet out of
danger. Dr. U. W. Butts is attending
him.
Counsel in the case made good
speeches. Judgo Rnwlcs occupied
eighty minutes In opening and closing,
and Lawyer Burgen came In Hie mid?
dle with seventy rninutos. Two ladies
were in court. They were on the
stand.
A SOLDIER IN TXH'BT.
Private William tj. Folk, of Company
B, Fourth Virginia Volunteer infantry,
was at this ofllce to-night. He was
sick in llesh and sorely troubled In
mind. He hardly knew what to do.
Folk wants to be excused from further
military duly. His friends have been
trying to get him out for some time.
Polk had a telegram from Congressman
Wise and a postal from Mr. C. W. Las
sltcr, of Washington, saying his dis?
charge- would be ordered. After wail?
ing several days the expected papers
haven't shown up, and Folk is afraid
he'll have to visit Cuba. Folk's home
is in Nansemond county. He enlisted
at Norfolk.
Folk has already gazed for a long
time on the inside of hospital walls, and
his physician says lie's not yet strong
enough to make the trip across. The
news from Washington saying Iiis dis?
charge had been promised made Folk
feel good for a while, but he was up?
set again when some one told him of
a sohller being arrested for desertion.
Under like conditions, a long while af?
ter telegraph offices had been closed to?
night. Folk was hunting up an opera?
tor. He wanted to get word to the
Adjutant General.

the dismissed cadets, telegraphed ns
follows: "I wish to congratulate you

teresting ch AUACTE1:.
(Special to Vlrglnlan-Pllot.)
Royklns. Va.. January 7.?The latter
I part of the holiday season In this sec
! tlon was marked by three events of a
most interesting nature.
Clarksburg Church was crowded by B
select gathering to witness the delight?
ful exercises so finely conceived and so
happily executed. This neal and new?
ly built Methodist house .if worship is
an ornament to the ne ghb >rh id. It
stands near the old structure which
has been a landmark of that growing
denomination. The spirited music, har?
moniously rendered; the timely recita?
tions, well rendered, and tii beautiful
decorations, brilliantly lighted, \v<ll
sustained the reputation of peoph
for push, progress and polish. But the
special feature of the occasion was the
appearance of a large boat as it came
sailing out upon the pulpit platform.
Expert hands had built the hull and
had supervised the erections et" its sails
and rigging. When the unloading of its
cargo commenced, the audience was
aroused to Intense interest. It was
soon manifest that the m?stet of the
vessel had a glittering load et* choice
gifts for all tho members of the Sun?
day school.
While there were no special exercises,
the children of tho Methodist Church in
town were also presented with appro?
priate gifts.
A large crowd gathered at Hotel Roy
kins to attend a "box party" given by
the Methodist ladies for the benefit of
their church fund. Some In attendance
hail come a long distance. The affair
was a novel and taking one. The result
was a most decided success. Those in
charge were the recipients of many
henrty congratulntions.
Mr. W. M. Beaton sohl at public auc?
tion a lot of land on Main street, ly?
ing adjoining to and parallel with the
railroad track for the sum of J200. Mr.
Alexander Knight was the purchaser.
It is rumored that he will erecl a store
house thereon at an early day. The
price paid shows property to be ad?
vancing-.
Mr. B. R. Moore nnd family moved
Into town yesterday. He has just been
appointed section master In place of
Mr. M. C. Vlck, resigned.
Messrs. W. W. White. Jonas Brynnl

unusual interest was performed by

strength he seeks yet more sorrow and

Indigent Old Officers Who Live On
the Queen's Bounty.
(The Quiver.)
While chronicling the movements of
the Queen reference Is now and again
made in the dally press to the Military
Knights of Windsor. Nevertheless, but
few who read about their doings know
of what that order consists. They are
officers who have distinguished them?
selves In some of our Innumerable little
wars, and yet In their old age lind
themselves solely dependent on a very
diminutive pension. From the Queen
they served so faithfully and we'd they
receive an annuity and a lodging in
that vast palace, Winds ir Castle. Tile
order is, indeed, a pendant to iii.it bet?
ter known home for the veterans of the
rank and tile. Chelsea Hospital. Its his?
tory is peculiarly interesting. When
that gallant warrior. King Edward ill.,
founded tho Order of the Gart, r, he or?
dained that each of the twenty-six
companions should be allowed t" pre?
sent an "alms-knight'' to the provision
made for them by the king. Accord?
ing to the original grant these veterans
w.re to be "such as through adverse
fortune were brought to that extremity
that they bail not of their own where?
with to sustain them nor to live so
genteelly as became a military condi?
tion." That they might live "genteel,
ly" they wele given a lump Slim of
forty shillings a year and twelve pence
each day they attended the royal chapel
?a small pension, it seems to us, but it
must be remembered that in iney lias
vastly decreased in purchasing power
since those early days.
Rut evil fortune awaited the alms
knights. They had been placed under
lhi> supervision of the canons of St.
George's chapel nnd these priests seem
to have bullied them unmercifully, tin?
der Edward IX. the quarrel had grown
to such a pitch that the King inter?
fered. Monks carried long tales to the
monarch of the insugordin.it Ion shown
by the stout old warriors to tho rules
that had been made for their govern?
ment. Tho alms-knights :?? plied, but In
cunning they were no match for their
ad versa r I os; "deeds not words" might
have been their motto. In the end they
were shut off from the royal bounty,
and. ns an old chronicle of the times
remarks, "how they next subsisted doth
not fully appear." Bluff King- Hal.
however, took pity on the- poor old
men that yet remained in the land of

Mr. .Tamos A. Greer. of Athens, Ga.,
(Indorsed by the editor of tho Athens

statement: "For ten years 1 have been
a sulTerer from a cancer on my face,
which grew worse uv.tll tho discharge of

A TRAVELING POSTOFFICE.
[ Exchange.]
The first real "traveling postoiflce" is
expected to start on Its rounds this
month in Maryland- It Is a stout cov
ered wagon, manned by a driver and
a postal clerk, which will leave the
town of Westminster every week day
morning, make a circuit of more than
thirty miles through the surrounding
country and return to Westminster at
night.
There are eight village postofllees on
the wagon's route. The traveling post?
master will carry mall to them nnd
receive it from them. His wagon is
fitted with eases nnd pigeon-holes, so
Uiaj?lie can assort_mail whilf? bo_
travels: and he will deliver mail to all
residents along the road who will tako
the trouble to put up letter bo.\e3 or to
"wait for the wagon." ( He will be au?
thorized, moreover, to sell stamps, reg?
ister letters nnd issue money orders';
nnd a railroad towns being the termi?
nal of his circuit, tho conjunction of
the traveling postofflce and the railway
mail car w.ll bring the farmer and the
outside World very near together.
This traveling postofflce is. we need
hardly add, one of the experiments by
which the government is trying to solvo
an Itupera \ problem?that of rural
mail delivery. If the plan succeeds a
long step will have been taken toward
the adoption a '"form which every
oie approves, and which Is delayed
rely bi luse no or.,- has devised a
, practicable way to carry It out.
