MISSIONARY MEEr1Ne.-On

MISSIONARY MEETING.-On Tuesday
last at 81 p. a., Mrs. A. l.. Davidson, of
Washington city, Corresponding Secre-
tary Of the Baltimore Conference Woman's
Missionary Society, Methodist Episcopal
Church South, addressed number of ladies'
and some gentlemen on the subject of For
eign Missions in the lecture room of their
church 10 this city. The exercises were
opened with singing and prayer by the pas
tor, DR.. Hough.
Mrs. Davidson occupied about forty min
utes in the delivery of speech, in CONVEX
sational tone, of an exceedingly interesting
and Instructive character. She is perfectly
familiar with the subject and work of mis-
sions in all the foreign fields, not only of her
own Church but of others. II the ladies
and gentlemen of that congregation could
hear her relate some of the touching Incl
dents in the history of missionaries in China.
India and elsewhere, and the appeals of the
poor he athen for a knowledge of the Great
Redeemer, it seems to us that all opposition
would be dissipated. Mrs. Davidson will be
in Harrisonburg on Friday.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.-On Wednesday
evening of last week, Mr.. Henry Tutwiler, a
respected and highly esteemed farmer of
Augusta, living near New Hope, was found
dead in the road, not great distance from
his home. He had been to Staunton, and
was returning home alone in his Jersey
wagon. Not far from the spot where the
body was found, the track Of the wheels
showed that the horse had SHE'D, and the
supposition is that he was thrown from the
wagon. When discovered the blood was
flowing from his ears and nose, but life was
quite extinct, and the body was taken to the
residence OF Mr.. Isaac Cotfman, near land
DIR. PilsOD Immediately summoned. Exam
nation disclosed that the bones of the Shout
der were broken, but the Injuries were not
sufficient under ordinary circumstances to
have produced death. Upon Mr.. Tutwiler's
person was found about $4,000 in money, a
watch and other valnables, which dssipated
the theory that he had been murdered for
gain.
The deceased was about sixty two years
of age, and by industry and perseverance
had amassed a comfortable competency. He
was one of a family of seventeen children,
and two of his brothers had come to their
death in manner not altogether dissimilar
to that which terminated bis life. One of
them had been Iun over and killed by a
wagon, and the other was thrown from
horse and susta ined injuries from the effects
of which he died. Mr.. II. himself, had al
ways had presentiment that he would meet
death by accident and was cautious about
starting out on a journey alone. He leaves
family OF two daughters.

AN HONOR LONG DEFERRED 1928,
our worthy fellow townsman, VIM. Frazier,
Esq, then mere youth, entered Yale Col
aeee, and some two years after, number of
his class, having become offended at some
action of the Faculty, rebelled and almost
the entire body left the college. Mr.. Fra
zisr came to the University of Virginia,
where his education was completed. and in
the active, busy and not uneventful days
which succeeded, the memory of fifty years
ago was well-nigh blotted out. Not long
ago, those boyish school days were brought
wildly before him by the reception of a
diploma from the faculty of Yale, confer
ing upon him the degree Of Master of Arts.
His surv living compa5riots Of the rebellion of
long ago were similarly honored. A re-
union of the old class is now proposed to be
held at the residence of one of their fellows,
Prot. e. E. Salisbury L. L. D., now of New
Haven.

THE DEBATING SOCIET with each
ting Society, the interest of the public in
creases, and the attendance is correspond
ingly enlarged. Last Saturday night the
Y. M. c. Hall was crowded, large propor-
ton of the audience being ladies, many OF
whom entered into the spirit of the debate
with zest which indicated that it would
have taken but little encouragement to have
made them active participants. After the
reading of an original poem, the Coliseum,
by Mr.. c. A. Richardson. the debate began.
The question was one we'll calculated
to excite public interest, it being ''Should

the regular debaters were Messrs H. NJ.
Bell, jr. and Heber Ker, on the affirmative,
and Messrs. Ran. Harrison and Roger
Atkinson, on the negative. From its outset
the discussion was animated, and when 1t
came to the rejOipders, the excitement ran
debaters, each of whom were entitled to five
minutes. Those who took adva ntage of this
limited opportunity were Messrs. w. G.
Kinney, S. Fl. Coleman and H. T.. Hoover
on the negative, and j. Yost, on the affirm
alive. When these had finished, Mr.. A.
Blautb, who was spectator, was called up
on, and poured oil on the troubled waters
BY ten minutes speech, which put every
body in good humor. On call for the
the question the vote stood affirmative 8,
negative IL, several of the members decIin-
ing to vote.
whilst all, especially the young ones, ac-
quilted themselves creditably, the effort Of
Roger Atkinson is deserving of special men,
