last the remains of Mrs. Mary Finn we're
brought to this place, and conveyed TO St.
Francis Church and thence to Thornrose
Cemetery. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Father McVerry and a
large number of citizens paid the last trib-

Finn died in Washington city, where she
had been living with her daughter, Mrs.
Perkins, at the age of 1o6 years. She was
born in Ireland and came to this country
40 years ago. She resided in Harrisonburg

relatives live, among them Mr.. Martin
. Kelly and Mrs. John Wallace, her grand

She was well known to the people of
Harrisonburg as grandmother Finn,
who esteemed her for her cheerful dispo
sition and kindly nature, and held her in
high respect.

CATT'S FERTILIZER ESTABLISHMENT.
Reeves Gait is about completing an eX-
tensive building planned and constructed
especially for the manufacture of his fer
tilAer. The building is 56 by 100 feet,
covered with corrugated iron, and located
on thesite of Harman's coal yard, near
. the junction Of the Valley and G. & O.
Railroads. 1t is very convenient for load
ing on the cars, a switch running ont to
the northern end of the structure, and
comm unlcating with either of the rail-
roads. Last year there were about 800
tons of this Fertilizer sold, and the re-
suits have been entirely satisfactory to the
farmers using it. This year Mr.. Gait
thinks he will put out about 900 tons.
We are glad to see home enterprise OF
ANY kind, and especially where it relates
to the farming interests and is designed
for their hetterment, succeed. Stauntor
ought to be manufacturing town. II
has every natural advantage that could be
desired, supplemented by two railroads
reaching North and South and East and
Nest. The essential thing that is want
zg is capital and the energy and nerve tc
ldertake. These our people could sup
y, at least to give a fair start and will
that the growth wonld be question onl,
of time and short time at that.

Mr.. Crisp, of Graham county, informs
us there are many sales of good lands

his county in tobacco culture soon. It is
a splendid section of country, lands un-
surpassed for agricultural and stock-rais-

minerals. Graham will yet become one

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.

IHE SOLAR ECLIPSE.
The total solar eclipse of the sun
to occur tomorrow promises to be
one Of the most important astrono-
mical events of the century. The
English eclipse expedition, which
started from home on July %, was
to have reached Barbados on the
18th instant, and by this time, no
doubt, it is on the adjaeent island
of. Grenada. which has been chosen
as the best available position for
observing the great phenomenon.
The line of total obscuration, bes
ginning at sunrise on the Panama
Isthmus, skirts the northern. coast
of the South America, passes
through the WindWard Antilles
across the Atlantic Ocean to South
Africa, and is lost at sunset at Mad>
agascar. While in our latitudes
the eclipse will be very partial and
last not more than f3rty-fiYe sec
onds, the maximum period of total
ity at Grenada will be three Minis
utes and fifty seconds, and the time
from the first contact to the end of
the spectacle will be one hour and
eight minutes.

THE ATTACK UPON ADJUTANT-
GENERAL JONES.

.
Not content with assailing the Legis-
1ative record of General Jones the 4d-
sr1ce attempts TO decry him as state
officer Certainly the Governors under
whom he has held coI1liiss; as
Aljatant General nderstood his char
acter and qualifications better than the
fwarliKe editor of the 4duance; and GER
tainly the Governors were far better
judges of soldiership than the aforesaid
editor or his paid defamer of reputation.
neither Of whom ever smelt gunpowder,
or desire to smell it. Governor o.. B.
Vance. under the great seal of State at
-taehed to the commission appointing
General Jones as Acknowledgement of
North Carolina in 1877, expressed his
trust and confidence in the integrity and
knowledge of that officer. Governor
jarvis, some years later, renewed that
expression of confidence, as chief excel
tive of the State and Governor Scales
in 1885, in the commission appointing
General Jones Adjutante General for the
third time, under the broad seal of State
expressed his confidence in the patriot
ism, valor and military skill of that gen
t1eman.- And last year the National
Guard Association of the United States,
a body representing one hundred thous-
and soldiers, at the convention held in
Washington City, elected Gen. Jones
Firs Vice President of the Association;
and certainly that body of distinguished
officers, Federal and Elk Confederate,
were as good judges of General Jones
qualifications for the Office. he holds as
