3 Gerardstown, returned to her home
: on Tuesday.
4 "K," of Leetown, must be quite
! busy at present, at least rumor says
: so his communications are greatly
missed, but ah! we make allowances
for him not writing regularly as the
time is drawing near. But if SO,
t friend *" take the rest for granted,
if you please.
The Gerardstown Times has been
, misinformed as to the death of the
colored man who was hurt here on
, the day of the election, he has parti-
ally recovered and is getting along as
well as he usually did before the oc-
currence.
The Knights of Labor have organ
lied club at this place. They have
about eighteen members.
Major Stuckey has returned from
Wheeling. He paid Philippi, Bar
bour Co., flying visit also, and
seems to be greatly pleased with his
visit.
| Weddings-and who do you think
they are? I'll tell you as soon as
they say the word.
Some of the ShepherdstoWn
devils " were in this vicinity not
long since, or few days ago. The
Register said sometime ago he had
purchased Bible for the "devil's :"
benefit. We will suggest he needs
one badly, but the "devil" says the
Register needs one worse than him
self; didn't you Harry? OF course
he meant the editor. | have been
sent several copies of the Register by
friends recently and do assert it is the
brightest and most interesting paper
published in jefferson County. The
editors are wide awake in their bus
mess, and have large circulation.
Rev. J. S. Gibson, of the P. E.
Church, and family, of Middleway,
have returned from their home in
Trenton, n. j.
"The trip up Salt River" written
by Mr.. Grant Pitzer, was just splendid.
His articles are all really excellent,
but this exceeds any points that we
have yet seen. Never mind old fell
low, the tables might turn in 'SS, you
know, and then won't it be fun to see
you get on board? Some other body
can do the growing.
We received copy of the Martins
burg Gazette, published by Mr.. F. V.
Aler, in your place. 1t is a bright,
newsy sheet, and we hope is greatly
encouraged, and no doubt, for the
number of newspapers printed in
place like Martinsburg, and the inn
mense fortunes amassed through
them, will be quite successful.
Mr.. T. G.. Smith, of Berryville,
stopped at our place for q short time
on Tuesday. He has been taking a
route through London County, Wash
ington, and several places of interest,
returning this way via Winchester,
and seems to have enjoyed his visits
immensely. Trip is one of Berry
ville's " gayest lads %; his jovial self
and genial smile are made welcome,
ETC., ana so on.
Another joyful heart and loving
mother has been stilled in DEATH
Another dear wife and friend is
missed. AS He comes and takes one
and another of our loved ones from
us we seem to hear him say, " i want
thy child to share the blessedness of
my kingdom" Death has borne
from its stead the true and faithful
wife of Mr.. Morgan Morgan. Twelve
months previous the Angel of Death
placed its leadeD scepter upon the
brow of a lovely and only daughter
and sister. The deceased was one
whom every one admired; her
christian virtues, her devotion to her
family, and her kind, happy DISPOSE
ton, are all only to be remembered.
They are no more. She has gone to
meet the One she loved so dearly
With perfect resignation she welcom-
ed death, and could she speak to us
now surely it would be to tell us to
rejoice with her and look forward to
the happy meeting again in that home
of everlasting joy and gladness, where
God himself shall wipe the tears from
off all faces. Her children she left in
the care of God; and now it is consol-
ing to think
Earth with its vanities no more
Shall pain her weary eyes;
She's left her prison for her home
A mansion in the skies.
Mrs. Morgan was an exemplary
member of the Episcopal Church. at
this place. She has fulfilled her du-
ties without murmur; was devoted
to christian duties and her church
was loved by its members, her pastor,
neighbors and friends. She being my
sponsor in baptism she has felt to me
as near friend, and will be greatly
missed by everyone. In her family
she leaves four sorrow stricken sons,
devoted husband and brother to
mourn her loss. A mothers loss is
great; we have borne the trying
ordeal and can readily extend our
heartfult sympathies to the bereaved
family. w.
