With a view to establishing a steam

to that part of the State. This was
decided at a meeting of the Trade Ex
tension committee of the Board of
Trade, which has had this matter under
consideration for some time.
Mr. Hall will interview merchants
and others in the Rappahannock region,

ing them in to closer touch with the bua^
ness men of Norfolk, and will endeavor
to interest them in the propoaitjon to
secure adequate transportation arrange

Rappahannock Valley people will wel
come Mr. Hall. It is, we believe, the
observation of those who have studied
the subject that where facilities are
given for transportation, trade will
apring up. If the Nortbern Neck had
a railroad from the Bay lioe to Freder
icksburg, a stimulus to farming would
be given; and aditional facilities for ahip
ment of produce to competing markets
will stimulate production all along the
river.
TIMES-DISPATCH ERRATA.
[Nortaarnpton Tlmea. Cap. Charlca.]
The Commission of Fisheries is a
State inatitution; its membership is oot
beyond the pale of legitiraate criticism,
nor do any of them so far as we know
or have reason to suspect claim such
privilege?it is more than doubtful that
one of them is so misguided as to es
teem himself incapable of error. There
is reason, however, to assume that all
of them expect and feel deserving of
fairneas in the discussion of their offi
cial acts, and in this we concur with
them unqualifiedly. But do they re
ceive it, uniformly? We regret gen?
uine ly to say we think not.
It is no part of our wish to be under
stood as imputing to any contemporary
a deliberate purpose to disparage the
Commission, but the logical end of the
many ill-considered utterances that
have emanated recently from our daily
press is to misrepresent and discredit
that body, and the injustice so wrought
is therefore no lesa palpable or fla
granL The attempt was first vainly
made to ascribe the scarcity of edible
fish to failure on its part to protect and
foster the supply. and here we were
treated to a line of editorial utterances
which for width of the mark were par
excellence to say the leasL Now, with
all the pomp of unconscious ignorance
of ita subject the Times-Dispatch brings
in an indictment of negligence for fail?
ure to preserve the Ufe of James river
oysters. In the sprightliness of its
"supreme" imagination hundreda of
oystermen who were once wont to tong
their livelihood from the bottoms of that
unhappy estuary have been abandoned
to idleness and want, while the raw
boxes of Richmond gape emptily amid
the despairing hunger of half-shell
experts. We are pointed to thia as
additional and conclusive proof of de
fective legislation, and indifTerent exe
cution of our laws applicable to fish and
oysters. To people who know the facts
this is of course no less academic than
the alarm given by the aame paper as
to how fish, edible and otherwise,
swim continuously through the "engulf
ing maws" of pound nets to the fertil
izer works located along our bay. But
such deliverences are misleading to
those who like our Richmond contem
porary know no better, and the fact ac
counts in large percentage for the dif
ficulty experienced by Tidewater in its
efTort to procure and maintain sane and
substantial legislation on these very im?
portant subjects.
Seasion after session mountaineers
and uplanders, imbued with the most
distorted ideaa conoarning "the wealth
of our waters", come to Richmond de
termined jointly and severally that the
same shall pay more revenue. Un
informed themselves?many of them ?
they look to the Tidewater press, and
for their enlightenment and edincation
they are treated to editoriala like the
big two of the Times-Dispatch.
Why not tell them that fiah are mi
gratory, and that the Legislature of no
State can regulata their movements;
and why charge the Commission of Fish?
eries with the duty of guarding James
river oyaters against the muddy freah
ets which sweep from the heights of
Richmond, and further down, upon and
kill them? There is not an oysterman
along the shorej of the James who,
knowing his business, will not tell you
that the wholesale death of oyaters, and
the spat aa well, in that river is due
absolutely and exclusively to the mud
washed over them by the freahets
which this year have been unusually
severe.
The Commission haa the aams claim
upon us aa haa every other institution,
i. e., to falr treatment.
STILL DOING BUSINESS.
Not underatanding why assessmenta
were so far apart, a prominent travel
ing man addresaed the following card

DEATH OFGENERALHUNTOIi
General Eppa Hunton, a distinguished
officer of the army of Lee, and a lead
ing lawyer and public man of this State,
died at the home of his son in Richmond
October 11th. General Hunton, in addi
tion to a brilliant record as a soldier,
represented the Eighth Congressional
district for many terms, and was for a
time in the Senate, filling the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. John S.
Barbour. He was one of those who led
the debates resulting in the defeat of
the infamous "force bill," was a mem?
ber of the Electoral Commission to de
cide the contest between Tilden and
Hayes, and was on all occasions a atead
fastdefenderof Southern prineiples and
righta in Congress. A good lawyer,
possessing that "genius for hard work"
which is so essential in that profesaion,
Mr. Hunton stood high in his calling.
Dying at the ripe age of 85, he Ieaves a
record his decendanta may point to
with honest pride.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.
Big catchea of rock fish are reported
by Norfolk anglers. Some 2 foot fel
lows were among tha catch by hook
and-lina.
There ia a report that about one-third
of the laboring people are out of work.
If true, it will account in part for the
small demand for oysters, for even the
horny-handed son of soil often makes a
meal of them.
Oyster packers at CrisfieW, Cam
bridge and Oxford, Md. report a good
season so far. They are getting stock
from Virginia. Cape Charles also re
porte brisk market for oysters and tbat
crabs are in abundance.
At a meeting of the State Fiaheries
Commission, held at Hampton. new sur
veys were ordered in Piankitank river
and Milford Haven, in Mathews county,
and the commissioners also heard evi
dence in a dispute as to territory in Nan
semond district. Considerable routine
business was also transacted at the
Hampton meeting.
The largest fleet of oyster craft seen
in this port for many years is now in
Canton Hollow, ready to start upon the
dredging season, which opens on| the
16th. The fleet numbers 150 vessels.

A writ of error and aupersedeas has
been granted the Commission of Fish?

The Norfolk Board of Trade has cal?
led a meeting for tonight, Friday, 6

tion of food fishes and to recommend
to the next Legislature restrictions
upon all clasaes of neta. Members of
the Legislature will be present. The
State Commissioner of Fisheriea and
attorneys for the various classes of
fishermen have been invited to present
their sidei of the question.
One-sided controversles going on over
fish and oyster mattera in Richmond,
Norfolk and Newport News papers are
bringing our water interests to the fore.
The Governor, Legislature and Commis?
sion of Fisheries are being seored for
not restricting the fish netters and re
fusing to rent out tlie natural oyster
rocks. The officials are carrying out
the laws they have, but itlooks much like
some draatic laws will be passed at the
next session of the Legislature because
of the howl made by certain newspapers
and kid-glove fishermen.
SOME WEDDINGS.

last week. Miss Ewens is well known
in Irvington, where she haa spent sev?

Mr. L. W. Shelton and Miss Jone In

quietly married Thursday, October lst,
at the Baptist parsonage, Kilmarnock,

ceremony. The bride is the attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe In

fiaherman of lower Lancaster.
On Wednesday sfternoon, October
7th, Miss Beatrice Robertson, of Fair

performing the ceremony. Immediately
after the ceremony the bride and groom
left for Washington, where they will
make their home.

nesday evening last the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. Brent, of Kumarnock,
was the scene of a qulet but sweet wed?
ding when Miss Pearf Virginia Daugh
erty became the bride of Mr. Wm. Ev
erett Brent. Promptly at the appointed
hour, to thestrains of "Mendelssohns"
march, sweetly rendered by Mrs. Vir?
ginia Downing, the bride entered the
parlor on the arm of her sister, Mrs. A.
A. Ferry, of Wilmington Del., as ma
tron of honor, and stood under an arch
of evergreens, where she was met by
the groora and bis best man. Mr. T. 8.
Brent, jr. The bride waa attired in a
gown of mouaeline trimmed in real lace,
while her matron of honor waa
gowned in French batiste with lace. The
groom and beat man wore black, with
grey glovea. Rev. F. W. Claybrook im
pressively performed the cereroony,
using the ring service. The bride is a
pretty and attractive young lady of
seventeen summera, while the groom is
a popular young man of Kilmarnock.
After the ceremony the bridal party
were given a reception consisting of
cream, cake and confectionaries. The
dining room and parlor were beau
tif ully decorated in cut flowers and pot
ted plants, the color-scheme being pink
and green. Only the members of the
two families and a few friends were
present.
Next to his wife, the best friend a
retail merchant has in the world is the
loeal newspaper, and if the merchant
does not get full value for this friend
ship it is his own fault. If you have
foolish ideas about the non-productive
ness of newspaper advertising, cast
them aside?the evidence ia against you.
One try will prove nothiag, but the
constant use of the paper will always
bring trade and keep it, other things
being satisfactory to cuatomers. Many
a merchant haa killed the gooae
that laid the golden egg by neglect
ing to use continuously the advertising
columns of the best loeal paper. With
in recent years, the mail order proposi
tion has been a source of annoyance of
the best town and country merchants.
How waa this mail order business es- '
tablished by the large city houses? By'
the liberal use of printers* ink; and how
ia this city mail order business to be
broken up? Simply by the best clasa of
rural merchants keeping in stock such
goods aa the people want and freely
advertising the same in the best loeal I
newspaper?the paper read by the,
buyers of their territory. ? Northampton

THE HUNTING SEASON.
No Klnd af liarae Save Sqairr<*la ?? ?n
be Shut l ul il November lst
In order to save parties from proae
cution for violation of the hunting laws
attention is called to the fact that the
season for partridges, pheasant, wood
cock, turkeys and rabbits does not open
until November lst. This applies to all
counties, the law having been thua'
amended by the last legislature. It la
unlawful to sell, offer for sale or buy
partridges. pheasantsor woodcock or to
ship any of them out of the State. The
penalty for so doing is very heavy and
the game wardens should see that every
violater of the law ia prosecuted and
punished. Non-residents of Virginia
are required to pay a hunting license of
$10, as Virginians hunting in other
States are required by those states to
pay a similar license. Non-residents
hunting without a license ahould in the
interest of our game preservation be
reported to the local game warden so
that the license may be collected. The
law reada as follows:
"See. 200a. 2. It ahall be unlawful
for any peraon to hunt, kill or capture
in any manner, or have in possession
any wild turkeys, pheasants, grouse,
quail, partridges, or woodcock eaat of
Blue Ridge mountains between Febru?
ary Ist and November lat, and west of
the Blue Ridge mountains between De
comber Slst and November 1st, or to
track or hunt any of them in the snow,
or to trap or net them at any time, or
buy or offer for aale or sell at any time,
any robina, grouse, pheasanta, quail or
partridgea or woodcock, or to deatroy
their neata, eggs or young at any time,
or to kil , chase or capture, or buy, offer
for sale, or have in possession any wild
deer between December 1st and Septem
ber lat, or to track or hunt them in the
8now, or to kill, or capture, or buy,
offef for aale or have in possession any
winter wild, water fowl between May
Ist and October 15th, or sumraer or
wood duck between January 1st and
August 1st, or any rails, mudhens, gal
linules, plover, surf birds, snipe, except
Wilson or English snipe, aandpipers,
willets, tattlers, or curlews, between
January lat and July 20th, or robina
between April 1st and February 15th, or
hares (or rabbits) between February
Ist and November 1st; provided this
shall not restrict the killing of hares by
residents of this State upon their own
land and at any time, nor shall this inter
fere as to laws now governing the
boards of supervisors in the several
counties of this State."
When Biahop Sm-th, of Pennsylvania,
was lately asked: "What ls the greatest
evil with which the church is called on
to contend?" "Worldliness," was his
reply. "Too much money, too much
