Joseph Sermersheim's Sudden
Death.

Ourcitizcns were extremely shocked OF
lrst Friday cyenisg, when Mr. Phillip
Kramer Of Evansville arrived in town
bringing the news OF tie sudden death
OF our much respected fellow-citizen
llr Joseph Scrmersheim, and could
lardly realize H. truth. Mr.. Scrmer-
shcim had len home on Wednesday, in
good health and went 10 Evansville on
business for The tewn, OF which he was
President of its Board of Trustees. AT
Evansville on Thursday he had met
several OF our former citizens, and
seemed in the best OF spirits and health,
until about one o'clock when he was in
OF feeling bad. aud upon attempting to
ST down fell TO the floor. and almost
Immediately expired. Every thing was
done for him that human skill. or faith
iul friends could suggest. but in vain,
The dread monster had laid lis hand up
Oh hun, and he was past human aid. A
Coroncrs inquest was held, which de-
tcfmincd that lie died Of appoplexy, and
his mortal remains were put .in burial
ease, and brought home by his former
friends and neishbors, Messrs. John
Mann and Henry Mauntel.
Mr. sermersheim was born January,
1919, and was consequently over 81 years
old. lie was married in Germany TO
Miss Mary Hurst, who survives him.
They immigrated TO the United States in
1870, and after spending short time in
Cincinnati came to Dubois county, and
settled on farm, where he engaged in
broom making. His first venture in
merchandise was taking 80 dozen of his
own brooms TO New Albany, and sell
ing them for 81 per dozen. which he in.
vested in goods. lie did a small bust
ness in that way on his farm for about
10 years, when Inc moved to Jasper
where he has been i'm business every
since aud most of the time extensively
until nj his death he had the leading
store IN Dubois county. During the
time he was in business he took % flat
boat loads of produce out of Patoka &c
the New Orleans market, and anything
with his brand OH il bore deserved,
high reputation with purchasers there
Besides this, he shipped largely by Tia,
Railroads aud the Ohio river to Cincin
natl and other points. Jasper will fee
his loss severely, as our people had grea
confidence in him. lie leaves widow
and seven children living, beside,
.xvcral grand children; four children
having preceded him TO the grave.

ers on their tombs An. elegant monument
has been erected to their memory. The ceme-
terry and monument are both witnesses of the
energy Of Miss Mary A. Smith, daughter of the
Governor, who has the same determination
which knows no such word as fail, as her father,
and to her untiriog exertions il mainly due this
beautiful camp ground of the dead.
COL Robert Beverly, of the Plains, is prob.
ably the largest land owner, and expect the
richest man in Fauquier. He owns iD one
tract 5000 acres of land, which he farms on an
extensive scale, and 10 most successful man-
uer. He grazes largely, and ships yearly large
numbers of cattle. The Colonel is 8 mem ber

rioultural Society
There are many fine farms iu the oouuty. |
will simply mention that of Boiling Robertson,
esq.,, at Broad Run Station, Oh the Manassas
road, and w. j. Maon's farm at Warrenton
Junction. The latter is farm we'll worth vis-
itiug Mr. Mann devotes himself principally
to fine stock (he also raises excellent crops.)
His dairy of twenty FIVE Alderney cows IS very
remunerative, as learn he gets about three
gallons of milk per day from each COW, and
from this three gallons of milk one gallon OF
cream, which makes him two pounds OF gilt
edge butter for which he finds a ready sale
in Baltimore. at this season, for seventy i've
cents per pound Fauquier has gold mines
from which. prior to the war, the precious me-
tai was taken, and they are still worked, as
they pay toleraby we'll. | remember, when
boy, visiting the miues and seeing the quarz
crushed by the heavy roller, and the separation
OF the small amount of precious metal from the
big amount of dirt, etc. Fauquier has not been

gold, her springs, her good crops her cattle,
and her great men; but who knows that in her
gold miues a "big bonaDza" awaits the devel'

General Brisbin's Opinion Of Good In
dianss

dams.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes up an interview with General Bris-
bin, commanding the Second Cavalry with
the Sioux expedition. The General says:
There are greater chiefs now living on the
plains than ever were P0whatan, Logan,
Red Jacket or Tecumsen. l think Sitting
Bull, as q warrior, is a greater Indian than
has ever appeared il America. The late
campaigns on the Yellowstone chow that he
is equal, if not superior, to the best Cen
erals in managing battles. A few years
ago he was q blanket Indian, without intiu-
ence or wealth, and by his own energy he
has raised himself to the head Of the most
powerful Indian tribe on the plains, and is
the acknowled ged leader of ali the hostiles
Red Cloud Will compare favorably with
any chief that has ever lived, and
Spotted Tail is not far behind him in
ability. l remember Washakie, chief
of the Shoshones, who, if he had
been born white instead of red,
would have been the leader of the people in
any State-a Governor or Senator. In per
sonal appearance this 0hief strongly resem-
bles the Father of his Country as painted by
Peale; tall, straight, white haired, and dig
nified, he is the personifcatiOD of tho noble
red man. l have had him dine at my house,
and never entertained q more agreeable old
man. He will not eat till he has washed,
dressed his hair, and paired his nails. He
is polite to the ladies, and children are his
delight, going to him instinctively as to q
friend. 1t is almost impossible to disturb
his repose, while his placid replies in coun-
Gil would do credit to the most dignifed
Senator. He has great abilities, and treats
every question presented to him with such
comprehensive knowle lge as to astonish
white men. He is as brave as Julius Caesar,
and in every sense savage statesman, ora
tor, warrior"

Friday, Americas Lucky Day.

There is . popul0r superstition against
Friday a. an unIucky day, and yet it is .
somewhat noteworthy fact that, for Amerl-
cans at least, it has been peculiarly f0rtu-
nate. Here are some facts that the Chicago
Times has been compiling on the subject,
and the perusal of them will sustain the as
sertion that Americans should be rather
inclined to honor the day than otherwise:
1t was on Friday, the third of August
1892, that Columbus sailed from the harbOr
of Palos for the New World. It was on
Friday, the twelfth of October, 1892, that
he first saw the land, after sixty-hve days
of navigation.
It was on Friday, the fourth day of jan
uary, 1893, that he started on his return to
Spain to announce to their Catholic majes-
ties the glorious result of their expedition,
and on Friday. the thirteenth OF March,
1893, that he disembarked in Andalueia. 1t
was on Friday, the thirteenth of June, l494,
that he discovered the American continent.
On Friday, March 5, 1897, Henry VII, of
England, gave to John Cabot his dispatch
for the voyage which resulted in the dis
covery of the continent of North America.
On Friday. September 6. 1865, Mendez
founded st. Augustine, the Oldest town in
the United States. On Friday, November
10, 1920, the Maytiower first disembarked
few emigrants on American soil ct Province
town, and on Friday, December %, 1920,
her passengers finally landed at Plymouth
Rock. It was on Friday, February %, 1872,
that George Washington was born.
1t was on Friday. June is, T75, that the
battle of Bunker Hill was fought, and on
Friday. October 7, l777. that the surrender
of Saratoga took place, which event de-
cided France to give her aid to the Ameri-
cans. The treason of Arnold was discov-
cred on Friday. and on Friday, June 7,
l776, Richard Henry Lee read the DECLARE
ton of independence to the Continental
Congress. Mr.. Hayes was nominated for
President on Friday.

THE LONE COOL NOOK.
BIZ HENRY BONR.

There's lone cool nook where the shade 10 deep.
And the waves Of . river softly run
To the shore where odsrOus muskrsts creep
From dripping roots when the day 10 done.
Between green rushes and silver reeds
Where dragon flies ere ever ct play
winding path to the water leads
And there . b0st lies rocking away
Booking rocking 1T rest and asleep
In that lone cool nook where the shade is deep.
When the day is hot you can lie a. rest
In the boat and dream till the sunlight fades,
While the lulling sounds that the ear loves best
Are whispered by the waves and the long reed
blades
And vine with trumpet. blossoms of red
Ia lightly flung on ths branches high
OF leaning tree. In such bed.
rgettlng the world. you may IDLY lie,
Rocking, rocking, at rest and asleep
In that lone cool nook whe,e the shade ID deep
And at night, when the sky ia full Of stars,
When shadOwy birds fit down the shore
And the water snake glides to the candy bars,
You may touch the waves with nOiseless oar
Till you float far out on the shining stream
Where winds from the corn land freshly blow,
Ant where you may gently drift and dream
With stars above you and stars below
Drifting drifting, NAV dream a rest
On the peaceful rivers cool sweet breast.

No one will discredit Mr.. Tilden's So
gscity by saying he was not cognizant OF
the gigantic public wrongs intended ana
carried out by his clients. No one who has
read Parton's pages will fail to credit the
Wall street lawyers ingenuity with much
of their success in dividing, without detec-
ton, among themselves, twenty odd mil
lions of money not their own.
Can Mr.. Tilden be excused for guilty
knowledge and completely on the score OF
his attorneyship! :.
Then ten times over should the lawyer, II
any there be, who advised Mcdonald and
Joyce how to defraud the revenue be exon
Grated.
The books of the companies do not show
what was paid for counsel fees. In fact. the
officers say no account was kept OF legal
expenses" 1t is quite possible they were
included in the item of profit and loss,'

Homely Maxims for Hard Times.

Take care of the pennies. Look well to
your spending. No matter what comes in,
it more goes out you will be always poor.
The art is not in making money, but in
keeping it. Little expenses, like mice in
barn, when they are many, make . great
waste. Hair by hair heads get bald; straw
by straw the thatch goes off the cottage,
and drop by drop, the rain comes into the
chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if! the
tap leaks.but drop minute. When you
mean to save. begin with your mouth;
many thieves pass down the red lane. The
ale jug is great waste. In all other things
keep within compass. Never stretch your
legs further than your blanket will reach,
or you will soon be cold. In clothes choose
stuff, and not tawdry fineries. To be warm
is the main thing, never mind the looks. A
fool may make money, but it needs q wise
man to spend it, Remember, it is easier to
build two chimneys than to keep one going.
If you give all to back and board, there is
nothing left for the savings bank. Fare
hard and work hard when you are young,
and you will have q chance to rest when
Won ara old.
