ture, Powhatan county, Va, Captain 10 HN FIELD
COOKE, in the 74th year of his age. He was
graduated first at Hampden Sidney College, and
afterwards al William and Mary. Agriculture
was the vocation of his choice, and during the
leisure which this pursuit a oraed him, he enriched
his mind from the treasures of literature. His
memory was very tenacious, and well stored by
extensive reading; his Imagination was vivid and
cultivated. and his taste correct He was brave
aod chivalrous, the requirements of honor being
ever The rule of his conduct His generous and
conciliatory bearing gave him commanding

blood of Major Peter Field Archer and John
Archer ran through his veins; and when danger
threatened his country, he proved himself worthy
of his descent. In the OF 1912, he commanded
a troop of cavalry from Powhatan county, and
again when his country called he enlisted as a
volunteer at Norfolk. He has died without an
enemy. and bis virtues embalmed in the
memories of large number of friends. He has
left two sons and daughter to bemoan his loss
In their bereavement may they find thar comfort

GEORGE P. FOX
Has arrived at Winard's Hotel, Wash
tngton, ID. q.
In the delay attending the organization OF
the House, il is matter of congratulaton
that the members of both branches of the Ma
lionai Legislature can, without violating their
political principles, settle upon one popular can
ddale for their favor. Mr.. Fox, in his capacity
as Tailor, representing commerce, has ever
merited and continues 10 receive the distinguished
title of Leader Of Fashions of the United States.
To that laudabe distinction he has been elevated
by the unanimous suffrages of the people He
has had the happy faculty of uniting the dssen-
tent voices in the realm Of fashion, and now
represents them in undivided sentiment.
The House of Representatives has been at loss
for leader for some time, but the Represents
tive Of Fashion is always organized. The fashions
in the plastic hand of art is TO the skill of the
artist what the disorganized elements of the
Representative Assembly are 10 the genius OF the
orator. The succumbs TO the taste OF the
artist, the other is subdued by the eloquence of
the orator. What the latter is to the Congress
sonal Assembly, GEORGE =. Fox is 10 the Popular
Assembly of Fashion. We have thus far insti-
tuted parallel, but parallels only run closely TO
certain point thence they diverge and thus il is
with our leaders of fashions and leaders OF
politics. The Speaker of Fashion tor such we
will designate our representative is never al
loss for The right fit on the right man, and The
right man is never al loss for The right tit when
he applies 10 our leader. His vote is never cast
away, nor yet his money. Both are equally well
and safely invested. Unanmty of opinion can
not be supposed TO always exist in political as
semblies of men representing diversity of prin-
ciples, but in the realm of fashion there can be
but one opinion, and that is, that there is but
American fashion and GEO. p. Fox is its leader.
