Newspaper Tidbit: Decline Candidacy for Sheriff

Alexandria Gazette
11 December 1857

NOTICE -- My name appeared sometime since in the Gazette, as one to be voted for as Sheriff of Prince William County, at the ensuing election, but circumstances (which is not necessary to mention) render it impracticable for me to be a candidate for that office at this moment and through this medium I respectfully decline, and return my sincere thanks to those whose kind feelings have brought my name in connection with that important office.

Respectfully,

F. A. Weedon
Prince William County, Va. dec 11 - eo3t

A marriage of much interest throughout Virginia was that of Miss Claudia Waters, of Manassas, and David Marion Pitts, formerly of Elk Hill, but now of Manassas, the ceremony having taken place on July 2 in Washington. The Rev. William E. Collender, of the Church of the Ascension, officiated. The bride is a granddaughter of the late Robert M. Weir, of Prince William County, and Mr. Pitts is a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Pitts, of Elk Hill. Both are widely related throughout the State, and their marriage is of much interest to their relatives and friends here. Mr. Pitts is a graduate of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and since his graduation has been in charge of the well known Porter estate, near Manassas.
