Gone 10 Her Rest.-On Monday
morning Mrs. Fietta Smith, wife of Mr..
Jacob Smith, departed this life at her
home in this place. Mrs. Smith had been
In failing health for several years, bet
on Friday last she was taken suddenly
i'll, and few days later death followed.
Mrs. Smith was born in this place, June
18th, 1910, and was therefore at the time
Of her death aged IS years, 8 months
and Is days. She was the daughter Of
Ephraim and Elizabeth Davis and sis
ter Of Messrs. Elias, Frisby, Jonas, Jo-
seph and Lloyd Davis, all now deceased,
and Mr.. John Davis and Mrs. Ellen
Gelwicks. the former living at Fairplay
and the latter in this place.
On the 18th day of March, 1880, the
subject of this notice was married to
Mr.. Jacob Smith, who survives her, the
fruit of this union being twelve chill
dren, six boys and six girls, all of whom
are still living with the exception of the
third daughter, Miss Jeanette, who de-
parted this life about niue years ago.
OF the sons, two are in the ministry,
Revs. VIM. J. and L. L., the former at
Mountain. Falls, Va, and the latter at
Strasburg, Va, Messrs. Charles and
Benjamin residing in Austin, Tex, and
two are still living in town, Messrs.
John E. and Oscar F. Three of the
daughters are married, one to Mr.. Geo.
Fisher, Hagerstown, another to Mr..
John little, of Shepherdstown, late ed
itor and proprietor Of the REGISTER, and
the third one to Mr.. George Hoffman, of
this town, and two are single and still
at home, Misses Rachel and Mile,
who with the father nursed and admin
istered to the wants of the deceased dur
ing her sickness.
For fifty-five years, from the time of
her marriage until her death she resided
with her family in the house where she
died and during that period but one
death occurred, that Of Miss Jeanette,
prior to the one we record to-day. Mrs.
Smith was a faithful and devoted men,
Der of the Lutheran church, kind

vices and at the conclusion of these SOL
emn services her remains were borne to
the cemetery, followed by large con-
course of relatives and friends, and

Debating Society.-A debatin

Debating SOciety.-A debating
society has been organized among the
folks in the ghborhood of Billmyer's
Mill, and meetings are held every FRI
day evening in the Liberty Grove school,
house. The officers are: MIR. d. Frank
Billmyer, president; MIR. Thomas Jones,
vice-president; Mr.. Robert Huyett, Sec
rotary and treasurer. Last Friday night
the question argued was, (which con-
tains the greatest natural curiosities,
the land or the sea?" The question
was ably debated by Messrs. Robert
Billmyer and E. r. Turner in favor of
the land. and Messrs. Robert Huyett
and II. NJ. Turner for the sea. The
land side won. Much interest is taken
in the society, and it would be profitable
and pleasant for persons in other neigh
borhoods to organize similar ones.

Treated Well.-We are glad to
learn that Rev. John o. Knott, native
of this county, and son of Mr.. Samuel
NJ. Knott, is well-liked by his congre-
CATION at Arlington, and that their love
for him takes substantial shape. The
Baltimore Episcopal Methodist says
"Rev. John o. Knott, Of Arlington,
has been presented with a new suit of
clothes by the young men of his church,
and the ladies added to the gift fine
overcoat, and our brother was the best
dressed man at the preachers meeting

mind and inventive genius of our young
friend, Fletcher Miller, has been busy
for the last month upon loom Of his
own invention, which he has just COM
pleted. We have been shown sample
of the webbing he has woven upon it,
and from its texture and well-wOven
warp and wool we are prepared, though
not having seen it, to pronounce it a
good machine for the purpose. 1t is
made entirely of cigar box. While
confined to his room by illness for a
long time, his restless mind will not
yield to the enforced idleness of the
body. We trust he may soon recover
and be able to give full exercise to both
his energetic and industrious muscle
and talented brain.-Luray Courier.

yo.r is adverted To without commenda-

year is adverted to without commenda-
ton, and the remark is added that If the
ideas of justice presented in some of
the cases examined are the ideas that
generally prevail in. these tribunals,
the honor and honesty of the army de-
mand that they be reformed. The sig
nal service, it is suggested, should be
separately established and transferred
from the War Department to some one
of the civil departments.
The President subscribes heartily to
Secretary Whitney's recommendations
in respect to reorganization Of the
navy. On this topic he is very emphat-
ic: off we desire to build ships for
present usefulness instead of naval re-
minders of the days that are past, we
must have a department. organized for
the work, supplied with all the talent
and ingenuity our country affords, pre-
pared to take advantage of the expert
ence of other nations, systematized so
that all efforts shall unite and lead i'll
one direction, and fully imbued with
the conviction that war vessels, though
new, are useless unles they combine all
that the ingenuity Of man has up to this
day brought forth relating to their con-
struction." The Indian problem re-
ceives sympathetic treatment, and it is
recommended that commission be APP
pointed 10 suggest measures suited to
the varying needs of the several tribes.
The invasion of the public domain is
also discussed in line with the Presi-
dents action some months ago in respect
to the vast areas appropriated by cat
tlemen and others in the West, North
west and Southwest. The pensions rolls
are declared to be in need of cleansing,
being encountered with hundreds or
thousands of names placed on them by
fraud. There should be no relaxation in
the firm but just execution of the anti
polygamy law in Utah, from the oper-
alton of which good results are already
apparent. The civil-service law re-
ceives the commentator at the hands
of the President that his known devo-
ton to its principles had led the public
to expect. Experience in its admins
tration WILL" he says. probably sug-
gest amendment of the methods Of its
execution, but | venture to hope that
we shall never again be RENTED to the
system which distributes public posi-
tons purely as rewards for partisan SER
vice" In concluding the President
calls the attention of Congress to the
present condition of the law relating to
the succession to the presidency in the
event of the death, disability or removal
of both the President and Vice-Presl-
dent, and urges that a repetition OF the
situation created by the lamentable
death of Vice-President Hendricks
should not be permitted.-Bahimore Sun.
