WILLIAM FRAZIER.

The death Of the venerable William
Frazier is loss to our whole community
Few men that 1t has been our privilege to
know have SO leavened their locality
with their own high influence. A highly
cultivated mind to which was added wons
derful stock of practical common sense; a
high sense of personal integrity which no
misfortune ever caused him to yield a
jot of, pure and kindly heart which
loved his fellow men and which in age
lost none of the freshness and affection of
youth; wise judgment in public life
which the rapid and confusing passage OF
events never disturbed and defeat never
warped--he was one of those characters of
which the world has but few. Happy is
the woman who has been the wife of such
man and the children who can remem-
Der with affectionate pride such father.
The Richmond Dispatch speaking of his
death says:
Throughout the war between the States he
was in the Senate, and all his life he was as
private citizen devoted to her welfare and her
honor, and ready to subordinate his own in
terest to hers. He was high toned gentle
man. Only few years ago-when he was
nearly seventy years oId-he received his de-
gree from Harvard or Yale Eve forget which),
and was there toasted and feasted as was the
due of one who had done SO much credit to
his alma mater. Mr.. Frazier was born at Jen-
ningss Gap, in Augusta county, November
10, 1912. He was always a public-spirited
citizen To the last ne manifested deep in
terest in whatever concerned his State. He
had been in feeble health for year, but did
not take his bed until Friday last. he knew
that his end was near, and calmly delivered
his last messages and requests to his SORROW
ing family. He left no truer man behind
him-no better specimen of what ig known as
the ''old Virginia gentleman

STEP BY STEP.

There could have been no more beauti-
full ending of our decoration day Tuesday
than what followed at the National Gem
etery. The Confederate hand has broad
and true American palm that drops half
its flowers on its brothers grave and the
other half on the graves of those who
fought him. The heart through which
this sort Of blood courses will beat true to
every promise it makes. How fast is fad.
ing the fog of bitterness and hatred that
hung SO thickly over the south after the
war-faster, we often think, than in that
comfort should have made an easy road to
forgiveness. Poverty is blister that
draws to the surface the evil humors of
the heart; defeat often wells the better
nature of a people with sullen mantle Of
discomfort, and the dregs of ill fortune are
not drink to improve the temper-buJ
our people of Virginia have risen away
from. and superior to all these. and the
day has come when all through
our State the survivors who wore
both the gray and the blue, mingle
flowers over the graves of the fallen. To
the men who can do this, the miasma OF
the Past is cleared away, the air is clear
and wholesome, and there is the health OF
the Nation running through their veins.
To such. the cropping amid ashes for
the red embers of past hatred is dis
tasteful occupation. To Virginia there
is nothing in the past over which she
should brood with sullen hate. Her chill
dren were slain? So they were, and so
they have been in every war this nation
has waged-in the Revolutionary war their
blood was shed on every field from Canada
to Louisiana; in the war of 1872, she gave
them with lavish hand and took them
back to graves upon her breast; in the
Mexican war their corpses strewed for
eign soil. and in the civil war they died by
thousands. But wherever and whenever
they fell, they died as they had lived, like
brave and true men. Tears of grief they
may have brought to the eyes of the old
mother State, but never the blush of
shame. Of all the names, great and
humble, that she furnished to the wars of
America, she has never had to turn one
to the wall. Her land has been devas-
tated !? So it has, and so it was in 1873
and 1Sl2-she has always been the battle
ground. Virginia has always known that
it meant both death and desola ton with
in her limits when she threw her sword
into the balance, but she has never done
it with trembling hand. She knew
what it meant, counted the cost, and took
the result. There is nothing for Vir-
ginia to regret or brood with sodden
animosity over in the four wars to which
she has given her children. And unmixed
with shame. no grief can last. The visit
to the National cemetery Decoration day
was made by people justly proud Of
their record. to pay a tribute to country
men equally brave who, as our brethren
did, had given their lives for their con-
vlctions. 1t was ct and happy ending to
our Memorial.
