Simply because cur people have been so much

Commencing with 1852, when was lad,
Fau1ier gave US Judge OF eminent ability, aaL
Loudoun was satisfied. About 1912 she gave
US our Circuit clerk without ever asking fer
him, and Instead OF either one of three good
men whom We did ask for He was an czech
lent clerk, and obtained ono reelection when
the people wero allowed to elect their clerk.
Since that time FauquiCr, cut Of her abundant
stores OF qualified men, has given Us Two Judges
against whose i1dldical character roth,cg can
BIO said.
We have twice saved tho bacon Of tho con.
selvaliyo party by the election Of Fcuguicr
man for congressman, but DO was tho cym-
mander Of lIoudoun troops during tbs war; and
by his fair dealing and strict justice while in
command in IIoudoun had challenged tho ad-
miration and obtained the confidence even CT
his opponents 10 that bitter and terrible strug.
gle. Now these arc obligations enough, ind,

cd too much Of trothsr Martin Thiskey while
dealing at his country store, and had lao1 off

Martin, unless you sWeeten 1t.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mary daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe M.MCLean,
was born July IS, 1873, and died November 2,
1879. Her short life was very full Of interest,
and left a deep impression for good upon all
around her. The best view we get of purity in
this world is in the life of little child, and her
life was one bright ray of purity shining
in the world just long enough to show as what
purity is. She will be sadly missed wherever
she was known. Her home was filled with glad
ness by her presence, and is now shrOuded in
sorrow by her absence, The weeping house
hold have the sympathy the entire community
in the crushing sorrow Of their life. She was a
perfect picture of health, and we little thought
death would have claimed her so early. She
was beautiful in life, beautiful in death, yet we
may believe is far more beautiful now that she
is "clothed upon with her house which is from
Heaven Accompanied by long procession
of sympathizing friends, in tears yet in faith
we laid her silent form away in tie narrow
house, knowing that when the night of death is
over, we shall all see her in the morning
"There is o Reaper whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between,
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He Kissed their dropping leaves;
1t was for bhe Lord Of Paradise
He bound them in his sheayes,
And the parents gave in tears and pain,
The flowers they most did love;
They knew they should find them all again
In the fields of light above" W. ID, q.
