Death of u Prominent Mason and Minis
ter of the Methodist Protestant
Church of VIRGINIA.

From the abingdon, "a, Standard.
Last Friday evening July 9th at 7.40 there passed
away a character that has been conspicuous in the
county for half century, Rev. DR.. Cosby, of the
Protestant Methodist church, is no more. After an
illness lasting less than fortnight he died the
death of christian soldier and gathered to his
fathers 1t sometime occurs that the brightest lives
become dimmed by age and that the younger classes
lose interest in life that has lost much of its vital
and physical powers. But we doubt'if there have
been at any time in the circles of society that have
benefited and adorned Abingdon a greater number
of anxious hearts than beat with suspense while
DIR. Cosby was in his last illness. He was unani-
mously beloved and revercd His character
bright and his life useful and in all his walks among
men his very purity and sincerity and patience and
integrity put up friendships that never abated: He
was twice married his first wife being sister to the
late Hon. G. S. Bekem, and his second one, Mrs.
Montgomery. of Montgomery i'll this county He
reared large family of children all of whom we
believe are numbered among the useful and respect
ed classes of the country Last Sunday he was laid
to rest among the generation of Abngdon's substan
tial people who now lie in the popuOus cemetery
near the depot. Being conspicuous Mason he was
buried with Masonic honors. He leaves behind him
large number of devoted friends who will yet
speak his name and enumerate his virtues for many
year to come. He was born in Staunton Va. Jan.

How n Corn Doctor Cheated n
Great Man.
Denver Tribune. /

Some twenty years ago David Davis
was suffering with severe bnniOn on
his left foot. At least the senator sup
posed it was bunion, although, as he
hadn't seen his feet for a generation, it
was pretty much a matter of guess
work. However, it hurt him more
than the Republican successor, so he
called in chiropOdist, and when that
specialist inspected the damage and
came to the surface once more, he re
ported that the excrescence was about
as big as a ten-cent leaf, and that moth
ing but the most careful treatment
would save his foot. Mr.. Davis ac-
cOrdingly procured shoe of the six
day as you please description, the
toe of which he could almost see him
self when he kicked out pretty hard.
1t was sad sight to watch the pre-
siding officer of our most dignified body
hObbling up the Capitol steps, sup
ported by a big cane and the leather
pedestal referred to, for six months
after that. 1t was a new edition of
BuniOn's Pilgrims Progress, bound in
calf. Sometimes the buniOn would
grow better and sometimes worse.
Meanwhile the corn doctor sent in his
regular Dill "tor digging out the sena-
tors foundation" as he facetiOusly
called it. At last the sufferer became
imbued with an absorbing desire to
usually inspect the cause of his tor
ments, and, one day, yielding to a sud
den impulse, he limped into photo
graph saloon, pried off his shoe, and
requested the operator to take tin
type of his foot. When it was com
pleted he almost fell off his seat in an
apOplectic fit of rage, for the picture
disclosed a small iron clamp attached
to his little toe, the screw of which the
chiropodist evidently frightened or
lOOsened at pleasure. The senator de
termined upon frightful revenge, and
the next morning, when the corn
doctor knelt to remove the shoe, the
man of weight deliberately turned
around and-sat on him. But why
dwell upon the sad particulars The
corn doctor was removed to the hOspi-
ta1

last, after five years Imprisonment, lib
Grated on the demand of BOnaparte.
In 1918 he again became prominent as
Il champion of liberty in the Chamber
of Deputies. In 1924 Congress, by
formal resolution, directed President
Monroe to invite him to visit the Unit
ed States. He complied and made a
tour of this country which was like Il
triumphal progress. 1t was in the
course of this that he visited Vermont,
and laid the corner stone of the south
building of the University.
In 1880, when the downfall of Charles
y. of France took place, Lafayette
again came to the front, and idolized
by the people, and again trusted with
dictatorial power as commander of the
National Guards, he used it to place
Louis Philippe on the throne, hoping
to endow his country, as the nearest
approach to republic of which it was
then capable, with "a monarchy sur
rounded by republican institutions" !"
His last days were embittered by the
failure of this hope. He died in 1884,
and received what has been called by
one of his biographers, "the greatest
public and popular funeral of which
French annals possess any record"
