Hebbville, I'd District.-Mrs. Mary F., wife
of Mr.. Luther Timanus' and oldest daughter OF
Mr.. John s. George, after brief illness, which
she bore with Christian fortitude, died April 9th,

Ridgely, William Sauter, Martin Jean, John Will
liams and Mr.. Russell. The funeral sermon was
preached in St. Luke's Church by Rev. Page Mil

Cemetery. 1t was the largest funeral ever wit
messed in this section. Over one hundred vehicles
constituted the cortege and between six and seven
hundred people attended. Mrs. Timanus was an
affectionate wife, benign mother, an affabe lady
and highly esteemed by all who knew her.
Hobert, son of Emory Zimmerman, died April
9th, of pneumonia, and was buried April 18th in
Mt. Olive Cemetery, aged one year and one day.
The funeral services were held at the house, Rev.
Page Milburn officiating.
A large audience was present at the literary
society last Friday night, but the officers were
est, owing, perhaps, to the sudden death of
Mrs. Timanus. Mr.. Milton Paine president Of
Mt. Olive association, acted president, and Prof.
Schaum, of Alberton, acted as secretary. Although
there was no programme nor minutes OF the pre-
vious meeting, yet through the kindness Of Prof
Schaum and others quite an enjoyable entertain

Heacock and R. M. G.. Trainor were appointed to
draft suitable resolutions of coincidence and pre-
sent them to Mr.. Timanus and family, who are
active members of the association.
Mr. Henry Clay, of Hebbville and Miss Bertha
Mihm, of Baltimore were married Tuesday even
ing, April 18th, at the residence of the brides
mother, in Baltimore. The guests spent quite an
enjoyable evening.
A hawk, measuring about five feet from tip to
tip of wings, came and perched upon the top of an
old tree in front of Mr.. Luther Timanus' door, and
notwithstanding the passing in and out of the
family, he still remained upon his perch. Mr..
Timanus, not having gun, sent and borrowed
one from neighbor, and although he snapped the
gun several times still the hawk sat there intenty
gazing toward the house. The gun was finally
discharged and the bird fell from his perch dead.
This would seem to be strange freak in any bird,
much less a shy hawk, and especially at such
time. The bird was suspended in the wood-shed,
where it was viewed by many on the day of the
funeral.
The past winter has been the severest upon the
roads of the county that we have had for many
years, hence the cry of bad roads and negligent
supervisors. It does to me that the people
are little too hasty, rather impatient, for it
requires a great deal of labor and material to re-
pair the damage caused by the frost, thaws and
freshets of severe winter. But the work of re-
pair could be materially expedited If the property
holders woulu leu the superVisors naVe tno ma'e
rial at a reasonable figure and in proximity of
needed repairs. The break in the Offutt road or
avenue, opposite Mr.. Martin jeans spring house,
about which so much has been said, cannot be re-
paired without building culvert and hence it is
useless for travellers to try to mend road out of
which the bottom has fallen by throwing Mr..
jeans fence rails into it.
From press reports strikes are prevalent all over
the country. In the Southwest the strikers have
applied the torch and great deal of property has
been destroyed especially at St. Louis. So be it
if the comparative privileges of the poor are treat
ed with contempt by the money kings of the coun-
try. What the working classes ask is to have
their differences left to arbitration, and this is
tainly not asking too much.
The Powhatan cotton mill is running eighty
looms and would run more if weavers could be
had. They are turning out q good quality of
duck, towelings, etc. I.
