Here is an item for Staunton capitalists
to read. 1t shows the profits of manufac-
lures, and gives an idea of what may be
realized from the Staunton Car Factory
should it be successfully inaugurated. All
that is needed is for the enterprise to start.
Don't let the fever die out before any tan
gible good results. Read what manufac-
turers in other parts of the South are doing.
Staunton is Just as advantageously situated
for the manufacture of iron, as is Green
vile, S. G., for the manufacture of cotton,
and rs big per cent. would be paid on the
investment if iudiciously managed. An
exchange says:
The annual report Of the operations of
the Piedmont Cotton Manufacturing Com
pany, at Greenvile, S. c., presented at Il
meeting of the stockholders, Friday, was
eminently satisfactory, exhibiting a pros
perity full of encouragement for similar
enterprises in the South, The report
showed that the net profits for the year
amounted to 2l4 per cent. on the capital
stock of $500,000. A cash dividend of ten
per cent. was declared and the balance of
the net earnings We're placed to the credit
of the surplus fund. The company has
expended from its earnings, after paying
annual dividends of ten per cent. about
1910, 900 in improving it's property, which
is now one of the finest in the South.

ton until declining health forced him to
retire from active life. He was also for a
number of years member of the Board
OF county supervisors, and President of
the body. An earnest christian, he took
an active part in all church work, and for
many years was ruling elder in the Pres
byterian churches Of Hebron and Staunton.
Mr.. Paris leaves widow, but no chill
dren to survive him.
The funeral took place from his late resi-
dence on Sunday last, Rev. Mr.. Baker con-
Quoting the services. The remains were
inferred in the church yard of Hebron
church and were followed to their last rest
ing place by a very large concourse, in
Guiding many of his intimate personal

WHITSUNTIDE.-Last Sabbath was the
festival of Whitsuntide OF Whit Sunday
1t was appropriately observed in the Cath
olic and Episcopal churches. This festival
always falls on the seventh Sunday or fif-
tieth day after Easter. 1t is appointed by
the church to commemorate the descent of
the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. In
the primitive church the newly baptized
persons OF catechumens used to wear white
garments on Whitsunday, typifying their
spiritual purity wrought by spiritual bap-
tism The festival had it's origin with the
Jews, who observed it throughout their
history as the day upon which Moses re-
ceived the law upon Mount Sinai, fifty
days after the departure of the children of
Israel from the land of Egypt. The mean
ing of the word Pentecost is fiftieth. The
festival of Whitsmtide is somewhat mov-
able in its haracter-sometimes occurring
in May and at times in June, but always
seven weeks after Easter. 1t is an impor-
tant day in the Christian church and is
usually marked with ceremonies and exer-
cises of an interesting and solemn char
acter.

specially for the business, and is well

We welcome to our city as one of orr
permanent citizens Prof. f. l.. Ide. of
Staunton, and leading musical instructor
and professor for some years in that CITY.
He will be quite an addition to our musi-
cal strength, and Richmond will afford him
a much larger field than Staunton, though
that beautiful city deserves the highest
praise as a patron Of all the esthetic arts.

Prof. Ide's removal will be a severe loss

profession, but most excellent citizen as

A short ride into the country, this week,
exposedto view the preparations the cater
pliers are making to depredate upon the
fruit trees. We have never noticed their
nests to be more numerous, and if not at
once destroyed will be very destructive to
the trees as well as the fruit. We would
suggest to farmers and other owners of
property where these pests exist, to devote
lew hours every morning to their de-
struction, until the last vestige of them is
removed. 1t will pay not only in the pres
eryation of the trees and fruits, but in the
appearance of the orchards and young
! growths of all kinds.

Years ago there was pauper who was
always on the point Of committing sui
eide. much to the annoyance of all the
people who had anything to do with
him. Finally the medical attendant at
the workhouse invited him to drive into
town one day, and on the way the pau
per remarked:
Doctor, please give me few pence
to buy some arsenic; want to make an
end Of myself"
The doctor replied: "That's the reason
| asked you to drive. ! shall take you
down to my surgery and put couple of
drops Of certain acid on your tongue.
1t will kill you in less than half min
ute, and | shall tell the people you died
IN ut: Then the parish will bury you
In good STYLE"
The pauper waited to hear no more,
but jumped from the trap and bolted
back TO the p0srhouse. His lips were
sealed forever after ON the subject Of
suicide.

On January 4th DR.. John d. Reynolds
died at his residence in this city. He
was born at Hillsdale, New York, in
January, 1910, and grew to manhood in
his native State. After leaving school
he took up the study OF medicine, and
graduated at one of the leading medical
colleges in New York. He practissd his
profession for number of years, and'in
1874 he came to Puget Sound, and
bought farm on the Duwamish River.
He finally sold his place. and went to
Port Biakely. where he again practiced
medicine. Returning to Seattle, he
bonght the McCsrty property, near the
University. Shortly after this he bought
seven lots Ia New Tacoma, on which he
built five houses. He was a man of
strictly honest principles. and possessed
more than ordinary Intelligence, energy
and ability. He paid his way as he
went along, and died without owing a
dollar. About the first Of December he
was taken sick, and continued to fail
till the hour Of his death. He had can
Ger of the stomach, and while he suf
fered little or no pain, he could receive
no nourishment, and literally starved to
death. While III life, he was the very
picture of a strong, active, robust man.
He realized that he could not recover,
from the first, and on December 23d he
sent for II. Z. Hathaway, Esq, to make
his will. He had property valued at
over $4,000. He had two children in
the East, and wife and infant in this
city. II. Z. Hathaway was appointed
executor of the estate, which was to be
kept together till the youngest child be-
came of age. He divided his property
as follows: One-third to his wife, and
the other two-thirds TO be equally di
vided among his three children. Five
days after the death of DIR. Reynolds an
infant child died, and its share of the
property will now go . the mother. Be-
fore his death, the Doctor arranged for
his burial in the Masonic cemetery, and
also for plain marble slab to mark his
last resting place. He was good man
in the full acceptance of the word, and
always dealt squarely by his fellow men.
He leaves a wife and two orphan chill
dren, and host of friends to mourn his
lOSS.

wasting the matter pretty thoroughly,
Capt. Thompson, Of the schooner Maria
E. Smith, concluded to insist on::a gen.
erAl average to cover the damage sus-
tanned by his vessel, by being caught in
gallo whilo entering the Sound, few
weeks ago. Shippers did not feel that
the demand was just one, and there
fore Capt. Thompson did not feel like
pushing It. On tho whole, We conclude
that tho Captains head was level, for he
kept out o0f q complicated lawsuit,
which would have probably cost more
than the damage sustained In The carry
