Mr.. Holmes Conrad, of Winchester,
and our fellow-townsman, Hon. John
Blair Hoge, who are together with
P. A. Rohrbaugh, Esq.,, the counsel
of Amanda E. Walker in the Walker
will case, were in town on Monday
and made before the County Court a
motion to revise and set aside the
order made by the Clerk of that Court
in not probating the will and appoint
ing a curator of the estate of James #.
Walker, decd. The court oyer-ruled
the motion. A motion was also made
to probate the will, which the court
also oyer-rulcd. The petition of Mrs.
Walker was then filed, asking for the
probate of the will and order of publ
cation to the parties interested, re-
turnable at the next regular term.
This case has become of general inter-
est, and bids fair to become notorious.
There is quite an array of counsel on
either side; nearly all the home talent
has been retained by George w.
Walker as contestant of the will. Mr..
Rohrbaugh and Judge Hoge being
the only Berkeley County lawyers for
the propounder of the will.

Among the sudden deaths that have
occurred among us lately, none have
been more sad than that of the young
man named Carper, who was a native of
Leetown, and who died, am told, be-
fore his mother, or any of his family
could get here to be with him. Aside
from any other lesson, these sudden
deaths should teach us to remember that
kind, helpful word given the living is
worth more than all the eulogies that
ever were breathed over insensate clay.
We all know this, And yet we look at
humanity around us, not as one of as,
but as something we are not sure we be-
lieve in, and so examine it at a safe dis
lance as thro' a telescope, always revers-
ing it, so that any germ of original sin
sleeping in our neighbours hearts or lives
is magnified under our calm scrutiny to
small Hades. While any symptoms of
good are kept at such long range that
we cannot recognize them as SUCH
until people die. We can afford to risk
erring on the side of charity. There is a
little word called If. 1t has darkened
lives as no care or sorrow could do
1t alienates those whom death itself
could never have power to separate
There are sleeping ON the bosom of all
this broad world of ours those whose
graves ale covered with the regret
''If | had known" There are such
graves in our Cemeteries. We should
have care that they do not multiply
thro' us.

'Hooker passed three months in preparation,
and then suffered the terrible defeat of Chancel-
louisville, and again was the brave army of the
Potomac beaten by superior generalship."
OF the mother of this remarkable man the
author says:
Mrs. Lincoln, the mother of the President,
is said to have been in her youth a woman of
beauty. She was by nature refined, and Of far
more than ordinary intellect Her friends spoke
of her as being a person of marked and decided
character. She was unusually intelligent, read
ing all the books she could obtain. She taught
her husband, as we'll as her son Abraham, to
read and write. She was a woman of deep re-
ligious feeling, of the most exemplary character,
and most tenderly and affectionatelv devoted to
her family. Her home indicated a degree OF
taste, and a love of beauty exceptional in the
wild settlement in which she lived, and. judging
from her early death, 1t is probable that she was
of a physique less hardy than that of most of
those by whom she was surrounded. Butin spite
of this she had been reared where the very means
of existence were to be obtained but by a con
slant struggle, and she had learned to use the
rife and the tools of the backwoods farmer, as
well as the distaff, the cards. and the spinning
wheel. She could not only kill the wild game OF
the woods, but she could also dress it, make of
the skins clothes for her family, and prepare the
NeSn Tor 1000. hers was q sIronS, Sen-relldut
spirit, which commanded the respect as well as
the love of the rugged people among whom she
lived. She died on the 5th of October, 1918,
aged thirty-fve years. Two children, Abraham,
aud his sister, Sarah, alone survived her.
His mothers death made an impression on
the mind of the son as lasting as life. She had
found time, amidst her weary toll and the hard
struggle of her busy life, not only to teach him
TO read and to write, but to impress ineffaceably
upon him that love of truth and Justice; that per
feet integrity and reverence for God. for which
he was noted all his life. These virtues were
ever associated in his mind with the most ten.
der love and respect for his mother. sAll that !

Dynamiters as Boycotters.

Washington Special to Springfield Republican.
The criticisms of the press on the dynamiters
are not relished by the Irish leaders. From a
trustworthy source it is learned that a system of
boycotting has been determined upon in ~retalia-
ton, The word is being passed to all the Irish
and Irish Americans throughout the country to
buy no paper that has taken the side of England
in recent discussions of the Irish question. in
Guiding the dynamite incidents A mere de-
nunciation of policy is not to be regarded as
sufficient cause for a hostile demonstration
against a paper, provided the injustice of Eng
land has been properly put, but the paper that
takes the English side of the subject is to be
punished.

After reading Legateis statement in regard to
the proposed selling out of ST. John to the Re-

we are forced to the conclusion that the cold
water saint thoroughly understood the 'dicker"
that was going on. and the only reason he failed
to sell out and deliver the goods was because the
body else's hands. ST. John, like Barkis. was
willing, but the Republicans never proffered the
money, and they no doubt now wish they had.
