DEATH ON THE RAIL.-This week we have
another fatal railroad accident to chronicle.
Last Saturday evening, Mr.. Geo. Greaver, one
Of the oldest inhabitants OF the town, was run
over by train and sustained injuries from
which he died in about an hour after the &C.
cident. The deceased, in company with his
daughter, bad been out gathering blackber-
ries: ON the return, the two separated, the
daughter taking the near way home, and the
father following the better grade Of the rail-
road. just west Of town, near the trestle
bridge. where there 10 q side track, the old gem
tleman noticed the tram approaching. At
that time he was on the siding, but doubtless
becoming confused stepped on to the main
track just as the train came laundering along.
He was struck by the COW catcher, had one of
his, lege broken and fatal wound on the
hcad. He was taken to the residence OF his
sop, Mr.. Geo. B. Greayer. and died In a very
shor. while. Mr.. Greaver was come seventy
odd years of age, and quiet, unobtrusiye cit
izen. For some time before his death he had
been quite deaf, and both his sight and mind
we're somewhat impaired.
The funeral took place Sunday evening.

That's a common express

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

A CITY POOR HOusR. mentioned last
week the economy which would result from
the city's providing suitable quarters for the
poor during the winter months. Mr.. Kurtz,
the excellent overseer, informs us that such a
measure would not only secure more comfort
to the paupers, but would be great saving to
the city. If the council would rent or pur-
chase suitable house, the poor of each race
could be grouped separately. and the city
would know just how many it is called upon
to support. Under the present system those
who are dependent upon the public charity,
are boarded around at different places Du-
ring the cold weather fuel has to be supplied
to each, as well as provisions OF all kind. As
matter of course, the parties with whom
they are boarded, reap the benefit of this mode
of distribution, and the result is that the CITY
is forced TO support great many who are
amply able TO take care of themselves. With
good, comfortable quarters, one fire would
do where dozen will soon be required, and
the supplies purchased by the city will be con-
sumed by those for whom they were intended,
and not by lazy hangers-on. 1t is q matter
which the city fathers should look into.

Exposition. A trip over the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad at this season of the year is
one of the grand things no one ought TO die
without enjoying and then TO pass on to the
Exposition and witness its gorgeous displays,

struction not often offered. Virginia ought
to be represented at the Exposition. If she is

ton.
Page NeaOs Mr.. J. P. Cline. formerly q
citizen of this county. but now living at Stu
arts Draft, in Augusta County, called to zee us
on Saturday last with two bright little boys.
Mr.. Cline is keeping up his reputation
for push and energy. Though but q few
months has passed since he settled in his new
home, he has sawed 177,0OO feet OF lumber and
sold 81 200 worth of 1t, built new barn and
painted it which is said to be the finest barn
in Augusta County built new house costing
$1,000 exclusive of lumber and win seed 90
acres of wheat this fall. He is also running q
brick yard and is constantly selling and ship
ping brick. We are sorry to lose such man
from our county. but congratulate Augusta
upon her gain.
