DEATHS.

DEPARTED this life on the 18th of August,
at the residence her son-iu-law, l.. Mort-
mer Ohntt Mrs. EVELlNE BEALL, in the
74th year OF her age.
None knew her but to love her She felt in
early life, tone thing 10 he needful,n and
chose rather to suffer affection with the
people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures Of
sin. From childhood she knew the scriptures,
and to the day of her death the Bible was the
rule of her life. Up TO the time of her pro-
tracted illness her Judgment was sound and
discriminating, and she had acquired much OF
the wisdom from above. She was loving and
kind; modesty and humility were at all times
manifested in her department. The preference
OF her ardent and alieclionate mind were all
ways on the side of religion. The sick often
enjoyed the benefit of her christian sympathy
The children have lost devoted mother.
But she is gone! 1t is ours to weep. Jesus has
wiped all tears from her eyes-ours TO mourn
The days of her mourning are ended, having
washed her robes and made them VI lite in the
blood of the Lamb. Ii.
AZ her residence near an ,nocacy School,"
in this county, on Moud " night, 10Th of Au-
gus of typhoid fever, Miss Isabel Holiday,
in the 10Th year of her age.
The subject of this memoir WAS ? Young
lady Of brilliant intellect, pleasant manners
and lovely disposition, The gene al favorie OF
large circle Of youthful friends and sch ool-
mates, by whom she was daily surrounded
Though reared in the humblest walks of life
she early gaze promise of becoming II superior
woman. Possessing all the attn iiules of u
gifted mind, her Older brothers designed hav-
ing her prepared for the responsible profession
of a teacher. Bui alas Truly, death loves u
shining mark, aud God knowing besi, took
her to himself, To her afflicted widowed
mother and orphan brothers and sisters we
tender our heartfelt sympathy ani coincidence
in this, their sad affection, trusting. rs we do
that the Father of The faherless and the wild
ow's God is ''too wise 10 err too good 10 lie
unkind, md who doeth ali ihings w"ll' has
seen fiji in This dispensation of His providence
TO cause them 10 set their affections above no t
on the earth, for here we have no abiding city
but there we have city whose builGer and
maker is God.

Mr.. Editor:-l would like you TO publish
plain letter from plain man, about question
in which myself and many other taxpayers are
interested. Wepay every year large sums OF
money to support the public schools in oar dis
trict, and yet we are not able to have our
children properly taught. II is an evil which
ought TO be remedied and think il could be
easily done if the management Of things were
taken out of the hands of demagogues and
doube-sided politicians and given to those
who would consult the interests of the com
muniiy. will give you a short account of the
state of things. For the last five years and
longer the public school in Brookeville has
been placed under lady teacher; during the
whole of that time there has been great dis
satisfaction as to the education Of our boys
W whatever may have been the cause, they have
not been rightly managed and taught. In con-
sequence OF this great majority of the younger
boys in our neighborhood twenty out OF thirty
at least, have not been sent to school at all
and one gentleman has been compelled to have
a new school house built to provide for tho
teaching of his boys, though he lives within Il
mile of Brookeville, and the writer of this let
ter will be compelled, though his property
runs within the limits of Brookeville, to build
n school house and have a select school started
to provide for the needs of the neighborhood
The thing is just this: We want man
teacher who can teach and rule our boys-we
pay for it, and we demand il as our right. And
what is the reason we cannot have our right {?
1t is the fault of one man. well known, too
well known, fancy-Mr. E =. This
gentleman has reputation of his own; will
not NEEDLE with it. The other trustees, find
ing their administration unacceptable, have
honoraby resigned, but he, with a hankering
after small offices, and having personal reasons,
has declined to do so, though specially request
ed by prominent taxpayers who have children
to educate, while he has not The truth is it
is time for us to stop giving offices to men who
are first Republicans and then Democrats, lust
as the weather suits, and who have not got
and never can get, the confidence of the peo-
pie. What aggravates the whole matter is
that the school commissioner knows nothing
OF our wants and takes no trouble to inform
himself The Secretary, in whose hands all
the appointments are believed to rest, promised
the writer to remedy the trouble but he has
failed If he disappoints the people, the people
may disappoint him.
must close this letter, which has already
run on too long. hope you will call atten :
ton 10 the way in which our local interest
are disregarded, and point out the path to a
better state of things. TAXPAYER.

LAYToNsYILLE, Aug. q, 1910.
Mr. Edit0r:-We noticed in last week S pub
LEGATION that Laytonsvile was mentioned as
the production of gentlemen, who INDUCED
in ''rowdyism" the last night of the camp. 1t
is absolutely and peremptorily false, and in
correct. The gentlemen of Laytonsville and
vicinity who remained upon the grounds the
last night, positively and most emphatically
ignore the accusation of having perpetrated or
committed any misdemeanor which other
wise would have molesed the tranquility aud
devout ness which seemed 10 prevail through
out the grounds. We have since learned fro m
good authority, that the corruptible "city of
Washington" afforded them, instead of the
municipalities of Rockville and Laytonsville.
