WILL PAY DEPOSITORS 25 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR Announcement by Receivers of Tidewater Bank-Judge Wright Ends Vacation. [Special to The Times-Dispatch.] Heathsville, Va., September 6,-The Tidewater Bank, of Reedville, which recently went into receivers' hands, will pay its depositors 25 cents on the dollar. Judge T. R. B. Wright has returned from the first vacation he has taken since he went on the bench, which was twenty-one years ago, During this period, he has, with the exception of the month just ended, never missed a term of the Circuit Court in any of the counties in his district, a record probably unparalleled in the judicial history of the Commonwealth. This warm weather has been a boon to the fish factories, and they are doing well. Catches are very large, and all hands are kept busy. It is supposed the present successes will far more than balance the ill luck of the earlier season. The price of fish scrap and oil has advanced considerably. One large field of early fodder on the Cypress Farm was literally torn in shreds by a recent wind and hail storm. A. W. Davis, of Merry Point, caught the largest trout with hook and line seen around here. It weighed six pounds and four ounces.
