The many friends of Mrs Nellie F. Cooley, wife of Frank H. Cooley of Hart ford, will be deeply grieved to know that she lies at the point of death with consump- ton, at her mothers residence in this city, and her death is hourly expected. She was formerly New Haven lady and has great many friends both in this city and Hartford, and the family have their heartfelt sympa- thy in this their hour of affiction.
 The Grays' Grand Annual Reception and
 Promenade Concert.
 The arrangements for the Grays' annual promenade and reception next Thursday night at Carlps Opera House are progressing very finely, and everything indicates that the affair will be of a very brilliant character. The sale of tickets is larger than for any pre- vious annual in a number of years past. The sale of reserved seats takes place next Mon- day morning at 9 o'clock at Osborn's hat store, Church street. The Opera House will be very tastefully and elaborately decorated, and there will be fine array of guests. The grand military march, which will be in the neighborhood of II o'clock, will be an affair more brilliant than the like event at the last annual. It can be announced from informa- ton received that delegates will be present from the New York Old Guard, whose bril- liant uniforms are conspicuous in any as- semblage; also from the Twenty second and Twenty third regiments of New York State. General Smith and staff will be present, and all the four regiments of the c. N. G. will be represented also all the military companies of this city. It is also quite probable that Governor Waller and his entire staff will add to the importance of the occasion.

Hon. w. w Berry.

This gentleman, on last Friday
night, in the Methodist church in this
place, addressed good audience of
interested people on the subject of
Temperance. He is the G.. w. G. T.
of the Independent Order of Good
Templars in this State, and was ex-
pected to bring forward prominently
the claims of the order, but his re-
marks took more general scope. In
his introduction he referred to the
large amount of money expended for
whiskey in the State, and said that
enough had been wasted in this article
to have bought all the railroads that
had been sold in Virginia three times
over. In the last decade enough had
been spent to pay our entire State debt
three times over. He addressed the
Christian people as to their duty in
this matter. He dwelt upon the ne
cessity of educating our children in
the public schools as to the nature Of
alcohol. While he did not ignore the
great and good work his order had
done, and is doing, he heartily greeted
ALL workers in this noble cause. He
promised us also to give week or so
next summer to Local Option in this
county. He is pure chaste and i'm
pressive speaker, just such an one as
the trustees 81 churches can safely
trust in their places of sacred wor-
ship.

To YOUNG MEN.-Young man, stop
and think. What you are to be will
depend upon what you are to do
Your words and thoughts and deeds
are not fragile and perishable, but
permanent and enduring. Do moth
ing wrong. Battle for the right
Hell p and bless humanity. Honor and
obey the author of your being and
your blessings. Be not an idler. Work
and win. 1t is not genius, but toll
that is the creator of utilities. Great
characters in history are always mira
cles of industry. Butler put twenty
years on his Analogy, and his work is
immortal. Rittenhoufe, who began to
calculate eclipses IN his pillow handle,
could not fail in eminence. To-mor-
row is the day in which, idle men work
and fools reform. Let your theatre
and time Of action be to-day. Seek
to be an intelligent worker. Read
books and papers. Cultivate and dis
cipline the mind. Seek the society o.
thinkers. Aim at eminence ip the
arts and sciences. The paths along
which Franklin walked, or Webster
or Clay, are still open to willing feet
Advance to the front. Be an intelli
gent worker in the world g great work
shops, You are in LIES spring-time
If you do not sow and plant now you
cannot expect a itch harvest by anc
by. Up and be patient, Sow gooo
seed. Keep the weeds down, be pa.
tient and workful, and the future will
not be without hope and blesseness.-

Personal Liberty.

A great deal is said about DESTROY
ing peoples rights. We learn that a
few days ago in the Northern portion
of this county three young men, under
the influence of whiskey, rode up to
a man s house and told him they had
heard. he was the meanest man in the
county, and they had made wager
about getting supper at his house, de-
handing at the same time that he
should provide them meal. He told
them to leave his premises then one
drew pistol, swearing he would kill
him. One # the ladies present faint
ed, and the others succeeded in get
ting them to leave. They went lit.
tie further, and were passing young
lady alighting from horse, under
which was dog, when they fl ed three
shots at the dog. Fortunately for the
young lady the horse Was accustomed
to the report Of fire arms.
This is what some cali personal lib
erty. We are glad there is another
side to this personal liberty. We are
at liberty to protect ourselves against
all such lawlessness. 1t may be these
parties were going fl ON large sale in
this county. We also learn that there
one man took the liberty to stab an
other another took the liberty to
draw a pistol ON his feilow-all of
them having taken the liberty to get

Joint Meeting in Winchester

The County Executive Committee
together with Winchester Alliance,
met as appointed in a classroom Of
the NJ E. church in Winchester. A
good delegation of both committees
was present, and the meeting very
harmonious. Rev. Mr.. France was
happy in his effort to lead the senti-
ment of the meeting in the very best
channel. After a free exchange of
opinions, the following resolution was
offered and adopted:
Resolved, That we recommend to
all people, regardless of political par
ty, who are interested in Local Option,
that they vote for no man who will
not pledge himself to do all he can to
secure special Local Option bill for
this county at the next Legislature of
Virginia"
This refers, of course, to candidates
for the next Legislature. 1t was also
resolved to appoint committee of
five to prepare an address to the peo-
pie of the county to be published in
the county papers.
Rev. DR.. White and 0. M. Brown,
of Winchester, and D. w. Bronson. j.
B. Larrick and Rev. VIM. Hodgson, of
the county, were appointed on that
committee. There was but one pur-
pose manifest on the part of all pres
ent; the purpose simply to remove
the drink temptation from our people.
Who will not help do this If saloon
keepers themselves could get rid of
money blindness, even they would
help.

The Stephens City Star.
Sunset Gates Ajar.

Tonight | sat at my window,
When the west was all agleam
With that strange and wonderful splendor
That is fleeing as dream;
I thought that the hands of the angels
Had flung open heavens gateway wild,
And caught glimpse of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is it not beautiful fancy,
This sunset thought of mine,
That the gates of heaven are always
Flung open at days decline
That those whose day is ended,
OF earthly woes and ills,
May pass to the morning sunshine
That dwels on the heavenly hills
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at days decline unclose,
And pass in through the portals
To that long and sweet repose,
know that shall remember,
In that city so fair and far,
My strange and beautiful fancy
Ofthe sunset gates ajar.
Perhaps, while sat there dreaming
OF the gateway in the west,
Some poor soul went through its portals
To long and endless rest.
Passed through the sunset gateway
To that city paved with gold
Passed into the new life's gladness,
To be no longer old

$lOO,OOO,OOO FOR EDUCATIONAL
PURPosEs.-The United States govern
ment is considering the propriety OF
distributing among the several States
during the next ten years the sum OF
$lO0,0O0,O0O. This is to be divided
among the States in ten annual in
stallm.nts, and is to be distributed on
the basis of the inhabitants. 1t is
likely that the agitation in this direc
ton will be successful and that the
money will be distributed. We do no
intend to file objections to the propos
ed new law. Education is a necessity
in a government whsre the people are
the source of power. But we would
have more confidence in the outcome
III the money was TO be laid out in the
promotion of industrial education
Our common schools are doing good
work. They have opened path for
many young man who but for their
help would never have attained sue
cess in life. But there are some de-
fects in our American life which the
common schools do not remedy, which,
in fact, it sometimes aggravates. A
great many young Americans are now
growing up with a contempt for labor.
The old apprenticeship system has
fallen into allegiance. Not only do
many foolish parents encourage their
children to look CONTEMPORARY on
honest labor, but many boys who are
anxious to become mechanics
find no avenue open whereby they
can crafty their desire Thus we
find many of our young people grow
ing up with positive aversion to me-
chanical pursuits and others debarred |
from following them Then take this
fact. Four-ffths of all the
inmates of our penitentiaries are men
who have never learned trade or
left before they had mastered one
We need in this country revival of
the old apprenticeship system or the
establishment of industrial schools
Money spent in this way by the State
and general govsTnuSat would yield
rich return il individual prosperity
md national greatness and stability.
