DIED-In Stephens City, on Monday
morning last Mrs, LAvINrA, wife of Mr.. J.
A. Grove, aged about AZ years Mrs. Grove
was a native of this place, being the eldest
daughter of Mr. r. L. Denny, now living
in White Post, but a longtime resident OF
our town. She was married to Mr.. Grove
in 1868, and for the past eight years has
been a patient and accomplishing sufferer
from that dread disease, cancer. Through
all her sickness and suffering she was under
the treatment of our most skillful physi-
clans and the loving care and attention Of
devoted relatives and friends. For many
years she was a member of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, and in her daily inter-
course with the world she became very
highly esteemed ny the people of her de-
nomination and by the Christian people of
this section generally. She leaves, besides
kind and loving husband father, brothers
and sisters, two lovely and interesting little
daughters who were devotedly attached to
her, to mourn her untimey departure. Her
burial took place on Tuesday, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev. John F.
Campbell, assisted by Rev. A, A. P, Neel.
The church was crowded by the sorrowing
friends of the family, and many tear was
shed and many word Of cheer and com
fort offered the stricken ones by the vast
concoursc in attendance. Truly good
woman has gone from among us, but the
good which she did while here. ard the
silent influence of her pure christian char
acterswill live green in the hearts of all who
oknew,her., Let us all find consolation in
1.-THE, thought that onthe' Evergreen Shore"
she has found awaiting her one Of the
brightest crowns, and that through the eter-
nifty to come she will enjoy the especial IA
vor and glory of the Master whose willing
and faithful servant she was ON earth.

PERsoNALs.-We are willing to give
place in our local columns to the men
ton Of any visitor, the absence ofTzhys
citizen, his wife or daughter but at
the same time we would be glad to
have the item written out and handed
in, or mention made Of it at this Office.
1t is not snobbery to do this lit .is in
nowise improper People are always
very much interested SIN knowing che
absence of friends, and equally glad
to know the presence of any visitors
upon whom they may wish to call.-
Some very sensible people say they
don't want their names in the papers.
This may be true as to a puff or a bit
OF evident Aattery, but it can hardly
be true of the simple announcement
of visitors name, or the temporary
absence of gentleman or LADY,
So bring in the items; we are always
glad to get them. No visitor is so
welcome to our. sanetum as the one
who brings an item. The STAR is a,
home paper, and in it our people look
for news-not the news from Russia
or Egypt-but from up and down the
highways and byways of Frederick
county. And among the items none
are read with more satisfaction than
those which Civ. the movements Of
people-they are just the sort of items
one likes to read. Send in the " Per-
sonals without any hesitation, for it
is an entirely proper thing to do.

THE RESULT. The result Of the
late elections carries joy to the hearts
of the nation, indicating, as it unmis-
takably does, that if the Democratic
party continues to be Democratic, and
puts forward the proper man in 1884,
he will be elected by a majority SO de-
cisive that the fraud of l776 could not
possibly be repeated. What man it
shall be may best be estimated by a
study Of the character of the selec-
tons made by the State Conventions
in New York and Pennsylvania re-
Gently, which have just been SO hand
somely ratified by the people of those
States.

A Few SOBER THOUGHTS ON POLL
TIos.-"Noa0 that the election is over"
has ever been stereotyped phrase
for the introduction of thoughts on
matters and things relating to spir-
tied campaign. But if it leads to an
insight into one thing more than an
other, that thing, in our humble opin-
ion, is human nature, its frailties or
its grander elements. About election
time no plant fourishes more vigor-
ouslv than Friendship. 1t springs
into hfe,apparently healthy and bloom
ing, and literally covers all the roads
leading to office, whether Of honor or
emolument. The very air is balmy
with the breath of Friendship. 1t is
a specimen growth Of it's kind, but
alas, too bright to last 1t can not
bear the blight of election returns,
the first fall of which makes it wither
and fade, only to droop and die. The
meek, mild hammered man who, before
the election, felt a flush of pride on
his cheek at a nod, a bow, or smile
from one of the 'lordly kind" Won
ders within himself what he has done
to be now passed by without even a
sign of recognition. Surely he has
done nothing to merit such treatment.
At last the thought ,keenly prieks his
mind that he has only been used as
tool to make the cast Of another's des-
tiny, to be thrown aside upon the COM
pletion Of the job. 1t is a bitter
thought. But he has acted the manly
part, which serves to make the con-
trast stronger between him and the
nature of him he has served. The
politicians base ingratitude stands
out most prominently in his compost
ton. 1t is the deepest-dyed of all his
vices. A few weeks have wrought
wonderful changes Before his "call-
ing and election were made sure, he
seemed the most prodigal of men,
scattering gold and smiles on every
hand. No thought of poverty entered
his mind. But just as soon as he gets
a good, fat job, adding several thous-
and dollars more to his wealth, then
he begins to show the cloven foot. He
laughs to scorn all appeals to christian
charity he SCOTS at the poor mans
plea, who, perhaps, before he had load
ed down with sycophantic praise, only
as a parasite and knave can do. An
honorable man will not thus coolly or
indiferently cut away the moorings
that held him in the storm. Some
such there are, however
THE mildest hammered men
That ever scuttled ship or cut a throat"
And the greatest wonder Of all is that
this class of mean and sordid politi-
clans can go on advancing from one
grade of office to another. 1t is mon
sieur Tonson come again" every time.
From country squire he reaches the
top round of the ladder-sometimes,
however, deservedly-but such cases
in these modern days are decided ex-
ceptions. We have been led to the
expression of the foregoing desultory
remarks after reviewing the late cam
paign in the cooler moments which al
ways follow period of excitement,
and to say that the STAR will, in a
great measure, eschew politics until
another election. Until then. our col
umns will be devoted to home news
and home interests.

THE Appeal = gain EnderseG.''
To the Editors of the Appeal:
Your magnificent article in last Sundays
issue, entitled General Edward A. O'Neal, Of
Alabama" has attracted great attention in
this State. Your senior editor having been
born and reared in North Alabama, the peo-
pc Of this section feel a great interest in
him, and knowing his love Tor them they at
tach great importance to his utterances con-
corning Alabama. To him these lines from
Horace may be applied Ca.um non aaiiaurn
nlutont qui mare trdRseuTrlnt that is, he may
live in Memphis, but his heart is in Ala
bama. The forcible way in which you have
set forth General O'NeaPs claims to the
gubernatorial chair has brought the subject
before our people in a striking manner.
They now see how much they are indebted
to ONeal and few other brave spirits for
redemption from the yoke OF the scalawag
and carpet-bagger. When so many of cur
prominent men who now desire Office spoke
with bated breath, the clarion voice of
O'Neal was heard on every hill and in every
valley from Tennessee TO the gulf. Alabama
will not be ungrateful, and will honor her
self by honoring the man who has hon.
ored her. ALABAMA.

GENEROUS AID.
The Mozart Society and the Sufferers

The use of the Theater having been gratu-

body proposes on Friday evening, 10th H.
slant, to give a concert for the benefit of the
distressed inha bitants of the submerged low
lands in our neighborhood. The sufferings
OF these people increase daily, and the half
has not yet been told. Many are on the
verge of starvation, and homeless wanderers
with famished children are to be found on
all the hills back of the inundated country.
Now is the time for help, for prompt and
immediate help. The citizens committee
does not reach many who would cheerfully
give, and it is hoped there will be perfect
jam at the Theater on Friday night. No
profit will be realized except Tor the desti-
tute, and frst-class entertainment is guar
anteed. Oar best singers have volunteered,
and will meet tonight for rehearsal. Pro-
grammes will be prepared at once, and every
one should lend his aid to make this effort
