Mrs. L. A Moss passed through Rensselaer today on her way to Chicago from Frankfort, where she had visited her son, Attorney George V. Moss. Mrs. Moss has spent much of the past few years with her daughter, Mrs. Lola Patton, at Warner Hall, Va. Mr. Patten went there from Superior, Wis., and has been developing a big ranch of 1,100 acres. It was much run down when he first located there but he has started a general reclamation spirit in that part of Virginia. At the Gloucester county fair this year he won first with almost every entry he made, both in stock and farm products. He raised corn on what was considered worn out soil that was 13 feet from the ground to the first ear and has succeeded in getting a good start of alfalfa. Mrs. Moss went this morning to the home of her daughter, Mrs. McCoy, in Chicago, which is her legal residence and where she will vote this fall.
