At his residence in this county, on Tuesday,

At his residence Mo1fett's Creek, on Deem

On the 9th nit, near Nelly's Ford, Nelson

county, aged 20 years, months and 8 days.
Died on the 10Th of January, al the residence
of his father, w. w Taylor, at West View,
JOHN L. TAYLOR, in the 10Th year of his age.
He was attacked some time previous with pleu-
risy which seemed to be very slight attack and
from which he soon recovered, but being of an
active, lively temperament he would not be con-
tented to stay in doors, and exposed himself too
much, and the consequence was that his lungs
were attacked, which disease was so insidious
and silent IN its progress as not to provoke any
alarm But the fell destroyer was ct work, and
dealing heavy blows whilst the poor boy was
seeming to think he was better. Whenever
asked how he felt he would say, Better"
He made profession OF religion at meeting
held at Doe Hill, Highland county, Va, last
time, and was therefore prepared to triumph
over his last foe. and TO give indubitable evil
dence Of his bright future. His last week on
earth was very bright one, which we have no
doubt has been succeeded by g. 'far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory"
How best the righteous when he dies
When sinks the weary soul to rest;
How mildly beams the closing eye,
How gently heaves the expiring breath.

RIGHT.
Good news, like misfortunes, ':come not sing
ly," but in crowds We learn from Major Ed
ward Mcmahon, who returned from Baltimore
Saturday, that the mortgage for $3,0OO09Q'
on the V. R. R., made certain the amount re-
quired to complete this road to Salem, and the
Finance Committee of Baltimore had agreed to
pay her quota on that day.
A dispatch from Major Green, in Baltimore,
to Major Mcmahon, received yesterday morning,
assured the Major that Major Green's interviews
with the Valley r. r. men Saturday were sat-
isfactory," and he Mason, Menifee and Gooch
went to that city yesterday to see about contracts
to Salem.
When such men consider a railroad certain to
go through, and are willing to take contracts
on it, there is no reason for others to doubt and,
with the engine from Huntington whistling in
our ears the story of what enterprise, capital
and skill can do, we cannot doubt of soon hear
ing it reverberated from the Potomac to Salem

DEATH OF COMMODORE MAURY.-Our paper

edge his greatness and worth-suffers great
loss, by the death Of Commodore M. T. Maury,
which occurred in Lexington on Saturday last,
Feb. lst, at o'clock. P. NJ. after a protracted
illness He was born in Spottsylvania County,
Virginia, Jan. 18th, 1906, and was SO years and
II days old. He leaves wife, four daughters,
and two sons. to mourn, with q sympathizilg
world, their irreparable loss. Virginia sorrows
with them for a son who has ever honored her,
by his devotion and proud achievements and
whose name she will ever delight to enroll, high
upon the long list Of her most distinguished and
gifted SONS.
