Whereas, 1t has pleased almighty God to re-
move from us, by death, our venerable and ven
Grated brother and co-worker Captain AYDPEU
". MATTHEWS, the surviving members of the Sos
sion OF Dublin church would give expression 70
tnelr eSumate OF his worth in the adoption of
the following resolutions
l. That while we bow with humble resi,no
ton to the will of the great Head of the Church
IN removing his aged servant from the Church
militant on earth to the Church triumpbapk in
heaven, we can but recognize the fact that the
chncn TO which he belonged and the community

manly speaking, is irreparabe.
2. That as Captain Matthews was Uida1v oDI
favora6ly known throughout the Synod Of Vir.
gina, both TOR his efficient labors in behalf NJ
the Church he loved, and for his rauni6cant acis
OF benevolence, his loss will be deeply deplored
by the many friends who have partSken of his
inequalities and enjoyed his beneficence.
8. That we take pleasure in recording the fact
That his life was one of activity and great nss-
iulness; whatever his hands found to DO he diI

On the 18th of May, 1880, the spirit of an
other blood-bought one was transferred from
earth to heaven, exchanging the cross for the
crown. 1t was that of ANDREW GATEwooD
MATTHEWS, who died at his residence in Pulaski
county, Va. He was born in Pocabontas conn
ty on the 2Sd of March, 1902. In 1881 he he.
came communicate of Tygart's Valley church
and IN 1884 or 1885 was installed Ruling Ell
der In Liberty church, now of Greenbrier Pres
bytery. In 1851 Mr.. Matthews moved to the
county of Roanoke, where he soiourned for
while and with his family worshipped at the Big
LICK: olhce 1907 he has been resident of this
county, where he faithfully served his Master as
Kullng Elder in Bell Spring church, then when
Newoern was formed in that, and in his last
days on earth was Elder in the church at
Dublin Depot. To him the erection of three
church edlhces is largely due; these with other
Ihlngs. snow that he was a faithful steward
Full of energy in all that he undertook his life
was one of activity, and up to within few DAYS
OF his death though feeble, the impulses of a no.
Die heart sanctlhed by grace, prompted him n
deeds of kindness. He was followed To the
grave by large concourse of people, represent
ing all classes and all parts of the county. His
Oouy was committed to the grave with the i'm
Presslve service of the Masonic fraternity. To
the Church and to the county the loss Of Mr.
Matthew's Is very great. He was married to
Miss Mary j. See in 1925 who preceded him ~
the world of glory by but few months having
died January I'D, 1880. On the goth of Mo-

ARKANSAS has evidently defeat
ed the proposed Reputation of q
part of her state debt and has thus
spiked a campaign gun with which
the republican managers hoped to
do some damage. In this cOnnec-
ton it may be appropriately re-
marked that everywhere in the
south the return of prosperity under
democratic rule has inclined the
people to the payment of the state
debts, even those portions which
were cOrruptly piled upand thepro-
ceeds stolen under republican carpet
bag rule and theeVidences of which
were nearly or quite all bought by
the present holders at much less
than par value, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, whose debts are now matters
of discussion, are likely to follow
the example of Arkansas. a dem
ocratic victory in November will
probably insure the payment Of all
the state debts of the south, as it
will Obliterate sectionalism and
strengthen the reviving trade be-
tween north and south, and by thus
continuing the couutry's prosperity
remove the difficulty Ofmeeting the
heavy debt relics of carpet-b bag rule.
A republican victory would have
the opposite etfect.-BridgepOSt Far
