Since my last article death visited our
village and removed Mr.. George Fix from
our town. Mr.. Fix died on the 18th of
September and was buried at the Old
Brick Church on the 10Th. The funeral
was conducted at Grace Reformed Church
of which he was member, by the Rev.
Stickney of the Lutheran church. The
large concourse of relatives and friends
that came together showed the respect
with which the deceased, though poor,
was held he was blacksmith of the old,
honest type, a good workman, honest and
harmless. Mr.. T. was 66 years old, and
died in the bright hope of a rich treasure
in heaven.
Our aged citizens, Mr.. and, Mrs. Shell
ton, have recovered from their recent i'll
ness and are able to be around again.
Refreshing showers Of rain have fallen
which have given fresh impetus to wheat
sowing, but the crop will fall below the
calculation, as large areas are not plowed
owing to the drouth.
Large quantities Of cider and apple but.
ter are made, and also considerable apple
brandy. Many winter apples will be
gathered. The large apple crop should be
utilized as far as possible to bring money
into our county.

Mr.. Weaver is now able to be around on

On Tuesday last, Mr.. A. j. frior. apop-
ular commercial agent. who has been
travelling for Gooch, Hoge & Co., for some
time past, was committed to the Lunatic
Asylum. lie came home from a trip a
few days before. his commitment, and
complained of severe trouble in his back,
expressing fear that he was suffering
from Bright's disease. But an exami-
notion by DR.. Reese revealed no symptoms
of that complaint. He continued to grow
worse until incoherency in his converse
Jon was noticed, and finally it was deemed
proper to place him whereyhe would Sc
cure the treatment his condition required.
We hope to hear Of his speedy recovery.

ruin their clothes, and endanger their lives
for the purpose of saving the property of

so willing to risk their lives for others,
own real estate, but they are always ready
to save their neighbors from loss. 1t
would be difficult to estimate how much
property is saved in a year by the fire
companies of Staunton. They receive
no compensation for their services; no
pay for the clothes they spoil, and yet
when it is necessary to provide themselves
with the means of protecting the town,
they are forced to go around like mendi-
cants soliciting subscriptions. The city
from it's treasury ought to provide them
with everything necessary to perfect their
organization. And this should be done
not grudgingly, not as if charity were
being bestowed, but as cheerfully and
willingly as any other obligation of the
city is met. When the service they rem
der is considered, it looks out Of place to
see them begging from citizens what they
should in self-respect demand from the
city. 1t behooyes the authorities to see
that everything they may reasonably ask
to enable them to work efficiently, is sup
piled, without subjecting them to the un-
pleasantness, to say the least, of soliciting
funds from individuals. We hope the
council will take more liberal and en-
lightened view Of this matter, and supply
these organizations with what is requisite

the whites.
The speaker discussed at length the
tariff, showing how the Democrats under
the lead of Morrison in the last Congress
had sought to enforce their free-trade
ideas, and referred to the bill now being
prepared by Mr.. Hewitt, under which it is
proposed to admit so-called raw materials
free, and thus drown out our own pro-
ducers, and close the Virginia mines by
importations of free ore. He referred
also to the promises made by the Demo-
Gratis in the last canvas, when thew de-
clared that all they wanted was chance
to unlock the doors of the Treasury and
let out the millions boarded there. They
had come into power and what was the re-
suit ? In March last the Republicans re-
tired leaving $484 ,000, 900 in the Treasury.
The Treasury report for last month shows
1892, O00. 900 or $s,06o,00o more than the
Republicans left there. Why has at least
100000, 600 of this not been used in calling
in bonds which are now redeemable, and
thus force this money into circulation ?
No. Their idea is to lay the foundation
for their tariff reduction by making the
surplus appear as large as possible. They
could reduce it by an abolition of internal
revenue, as the Virginia Democracy prom
ised, but now that they have COTTON the
offices, the internal revenue system is no
longer held up as nursery of spies and
informers. In their National platform
they substantially declare for continu-
ance Of the system, by dedication Of the
revenues derived from it to the pay of
pensions. The system will never be abol-
ished by the Democratic party. That
party is under the absolute control of the
whiskey ring, and as long as it retains
power it will not be permitted to take the
tax off OF whiskey. AS illustrative Of the
