East Gaston, Oct. 24— Pomuiu hunters are now taking the woods, gathering in their favor* ite game, and along with them they arc having latent and sim ‘ mens. It makes us almost wish we were hunters too. It has been reported in Hast Gaston for some time that Mr. 12. O.

No one seems to be pay ing any attention to anything except their own butinets. Were it not for tbe newspapers we would not know there wu a campaign being waged in thia country. Men have quit their foolishness since the populists died, aud instead of cussing one another to death they are Hold ing up their heads and looking decent.

OM Stratford fo Om *1 the Best Pranervad af tha Old Cefomfol Bhhi ef Virginia, luggadly Staple tad Unfone ie Archil actors—Andanl En vironments a Lingering Cham. BlchmotxJ Spici.l U> Nr* York UmU. Wedneaday waa the anniver sary of the death of Robert K. Lee. He was born nt Stratford. Westmoreland county, the home of many distinguished forebear*. Chief among these stands out Richard Henry I«ec. Stratford, on tne Potomac, as it stands oat in the glow of the autumnal sun. is one of the best preserved of the old colonial homes of Virginia. It is a pile of English brick coastructed somewhat in form of a flattened letter II. It is raggedly simple and unique iu architecture from the high basement to two clus ters of chimney* on the roof. No ornamental feature of archi Inrttte* nr nf a«.v*. fits or mars its simplicity. It stands sq ns rely on its own firm foundation, as did its builders and inhabitants. Stratford was built by Thom as Lee. fifth son of Richard Lee, whose father. Colonel Richard Lee, was tbe first of bis family to come to Virginia. He came from Shropshire, England, in IW1, forced by bis loyally to the royal canse to abandon his native land. Thomas Lee built Stratford in the early years of the eighteenth century, naming it after bis English estate. It was burned down, lint witb the aid of $50,000 from CJueen Char loile it was rebuilt in its origiu al pattern in 17?9. Thomas Lee waa president and comman der in chief of the colony, and later was appointed governor. Colonel Lee, however, died be fore the commission as governor reached him. He had six sons, all of whom grew to honorable manhood. They were Philip Ludwell, Thomas Ludwell, Richard Hen ry, Erancis Lighton, William and Arthur. Two of these were signers of the Declaration. Philip Ludwell Lee had a daugh ter, Matilda. She became the wife of her distant cousin. "Lighthorse Harry" Lee. Mrs. Matilda Lee left Stratford W her son Henry, and here, after her death, his father brought a sec ond bride, Miss Ann Carter, who became the mother of Rob ert E. Lee. A comer room to the right of tbe right wing is that in which local tradition saya Richard Heury Lee and his brothers and Robert E. Lee were born. I, is a large chamber, high ccilinged and many windowed, with a spacious and comfortable fire place, over which ia a colonial mantel. Tlsa. I. ...... a. .1 _' surrounded by a high brick wall, now broken in many places. The two original front gateways must have been elaborate, as remnant* of carved sandstone column* and caps arc lying about in the grass. Some dis tance from each of the four cor ners of the house 'stand small hrick outhouses. One was the kitchen, as may be seen by the twelve-foot, wide open fireplace, with the huge crane still over h for swinging the big pots and kettles into place. Some dis tance to one side of the mansion stand the stable and burns, all in fair condition. The main entrance to the house is reached by a flight ol saadatone steps. Two long enter staircases enter apon a passage extending the length of the bonne. The bonse contains eighteen large rooms. The front door nsbers one into the central hall about thirty feet square, which acmes a* a connecting link be tween the wings. It is panelled in oak from floor to ceiling srilb decorative plasters relieving the I panel* at interval*. A donr on the opposite side Iron that en tered opened npoti a similar flight of stone steps, which led down tn the garden. Both doors are flanked mi either aide by a large window. Roomy bookcaaee, with glass front doors, are set in tour panels. The drawing room la on the river aide of the house—a large high ceiling room, with gener ous ireplace* and tiro deep re cessed window*. Another colonial structure of thol «rrtiun and associated with it is the old parish church of Ycoeomico. II io sixteen miles from Stratford, hot near !<ee Hall, Mount Plcssoot and other prominent homes in the coanty. This in one of tko best examples of the pre-Revolmtioaary honoss of worship still in ate is Virginia Tbo original font, of whits marhlr, in handsome design, ii mill in place in tha chancel, aa is the communion table. Then is a local tradition that Georgs Washington was "received inlc Christ’s flock” hr way of tbii histone basin bnt evidence is strongly in favor of the sacra ment having been performed in «• family church at Pope’i Cteek. It is, however, a re corded fact that Robt. K. Lee was herein baptized. Old Veocomico was bailt in 170M. with bricks brought from the mother roatnry, -and they have stood the nearly two Iran dred yean of their existence with admirable fortitude. Over the main entrance is a Gothic porch that recalls old England. The door reached through this fa a massive affair uf doable planking held together with hand-made bolts. Wrought iron binges extend across halt its surface. It is so heavy as to be difficult to open, and for con venience a smaller door ha* been cut within the larger that one may lift the latch and eater with ease. m wu uikh pavea mm irau wct, transept nod nave. The latter leads to tbc railed chan cel, which holds the altar and font. A modern pulpit aud desk are ball way up the aisle, and so situated that the minister may be in the center of the congre gation. Two square many-paoed windows light the edifice aod a gallery at the rear of the Iran •ept provide* seating capacity for colored persona. The church stands in a well shaded God's acre, wherein re pose the bones of the departed flock of the neighborhood. Sur rounding tbc churchyard is a brick wall. This was recently pnt in repair by persons interest ed in its welfare. During the war of 1812 Veo comico church suffered at the hands of soldier* set to watch the Britiah who came np from the Potomac on expeditions. They tore down the wall about the churchyard and opened the door* of the edifice, leaving it to the mercy of the elements. They used it as a stable, and fi nally abandoned it to the flocks aud herd* of the neighborhood. The church was again despoiled by soldiery during the Civil war. but was again restored. Another historic spot in tb« neighborhood is the original glebe. with its parsonage, be longing to Yeocomico church. This is one of the few original parsonage* and glebes to be found in Virginia to-day. Though it long ago passed from the possession of church. State or crown, the substantial brick honse is in almost as good con dition to-day as when occupied by Dr. John Augustine Smith, for many years pastor of the parish and later president of William and Mary College. Servants and horses were plen tiful, boweveT, and person as well as squire preferred his bouse situated upon one of the lovely salt water creeks that intersect this historic corner of old Vir 3inis to being perched high and ry beside his church. cowmo Mi CtOKUW SCHOOLS Same Old Detectable Ditkti that Are Ifmd Mad* Aay Mara. lloMM N«. The school board ol Chicago ia conducting seven free public kitchens, and it is said that niore than a thousand women ate learning to cook in these schools. Thirty nationalities are represented among the pu pil*. China, among them. Ten Chinese are taking lessons. Factory girls control pitting matrimony ate learning bow to cook and being trained to be housewives. Housewives are learning to conk that they mar know how to economise with oat canning the family table to anfler. The aim of the teacher is to train the students to manage simple home* in a capable man ner. And while this array of working women ami housewives ia working, another army {slew ing. Tkv course in sewing in cludes dress making and mil* Hoery, hand sewing, the use and care of the aewing machine, and exercises in pattern making fitting and designing. In our judgment, the cook, tug school ia a very valuable adjunct to a system of public education. It has beta tested, and baa proved h» efficiency hi the Fort Worth high school*. It would appear that the art of cooking baa fallen into t»sd ways in Tens*, and common taper i leant proves that other States are little if any better of] ibnn we am. Through oat the Bomb, which tu»d la bn famous foe Ha cotioary excellence, the ■■ . ..-1_l.i_ capable cook ia becoming quite tare. In anta-bellam time* the dsagbtersof the aristocracy were taught all branch** of house hold economy, because it was deemed essential to train the girl to become the mistress of a household. She in torn taught her house slaves to capably per form domestic duties. Bat the Southern ante-bellum cook has long since dinapeared. Wealthy people no longer re gard it neccenary to teach their daughters household economy. The art of cooking has been displaced by the more polite arts. A good negro cook is rare in deed, and the servants we get from Knropc are far abort of oar desires. Wtsnl kna Iiacwimm ..I iW* aU. faithiottcd nkttl Hiu'nit?"
