1t is seldom that married couple live to-
gether for the long period of 60 years. as is the
case with our venerable and worthy friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Addison Frazier of this city, the

husband is a native of Fredericksburg, and
the wife, whose maiden name was Frances
Rennick. is native of Greenbrier county, W.
Va, in which this couple lived for many years,
respected by all who knew them. For some
years they have been living in this city with
their daughter, Mrs. Richard Summerson,
Both are now feeble, especially the husband;
hut we hope that both will yet be spared many
more years. We have known them long and
well, and they have our best wishes for health
and happiness
We had a call from DIR. John R. Woods, of
Ivy Depot, of Albemarle county, last Thurs
day. His son, Micajah Woods. is prominently
presented as a candidate for Congress in this
District in opposition to John Paul next No
vember. He is a very worthy and clever gen.
tleman, and if the nominee of the Democratic
party. will receive our cordial support. We
are in favor of the strongest man, without ref
erence to section. and areinclined to the opinion
that Augusta and Rockingham can furnish
him. Augusta has Meade F. White, Col. James
H. Skinner. and James Bumgardner, jr., not to
mention others, and Rockingham has Col. G.
7. O'Ferrall. Jonn T. Harris, and DR.. Samuel
H. Moffett We want the candidate that has
the greatest popular strength. for we want to
win. To re-elect Paul, in view OF his course in
Congress, in acting with the Republican party,
would be an outrage upon this District.
