DIED..

At his home near Leetown, October
4, 1888, of typhoid fever, Mr.. GEORGE
S. DAVIS, son of Thomas Davis, aged
20 years, II months and 2G days This
worthy young man was to have been
married in few weeks.
In Bolivar, October ), 1888, of con-
sumption, MARY MAGDALENE, daugh-
ter of Chas. +. and Sarah NJ. Andrews,
aged year and months.
In Bolivar, October 6, 1885, at the
residence of her son, Mr.. a. Burton,
Mrs. ANNIE HARRINGTON, aged rs
years.
In Hagerstown, October 4, 1888,
MAGGIE RILEY, daughter of James
and Mary Riley, aged 4 years.
At her home near Shepherdstown,
October 7, 1888, KATIE V. FULK, aged
% years, l month and days.
Katie had been an extreme sufferer for ma
ny weeks, with only occasional intermissiOn
from the painful disease, which baflled the
suffering with Christian patience, resigned to
whatever atlliction the Great Master permit
ted, and at last peacefully sank into the bo-
som of her Redeemer whom she had taken
as her trust and guide. The bright and pros
pective hopes which clustered around her
life, and gave promise OF the happy future,
became paralyZed as the dark messenger of
death touched the foundation of life, causing
It's earthly tenement TO go down to the ST.
leuce of the grave, and the spirit TO God who
gave il. Yet the inspiration OF its being gives
hope OF a glorious Immortality in the future
transition of life. The star of Bethlehem has
flung radiance along the dark valley of
death, giving hope of a glorious imm ortality.
She was an obedient daughter a loving Sis
ter. and an interesting companion. In each
of these relations she will be sadly missed.
And now that she has taken the last deep de-
olivity and passed over the bridge Of time
through the deep waters of the river of death
We who knew her best feel an aching void
which will not soon be filled and that wound
has been inflicted which only time can heal.
Yet while we mourn for her we mourn not
as those who have no consolation, for we feel
that she went not as one Scourged and driven
to her dungeon, but that with an unfaltering
step she wrapped the drapery OF her couch
about her and laid down to pleasant dreams.
"Life's tolls and labors all Ger,
Its burdens laid aside;
Death, calm, sweet sleep Is on her brow,
Earth's cares no more betide."
A large concOurse of friends and relatives
followed her loved remains to their last rest
ing place, Elmwood Cemetery. Rev. a. 4. j.
Neei ofiiciated at the funeral services. which
were held in the NJ. E. Church South at Shep-

1t is reported that there is wide
spread restitution and want in Ram
sew county, Dakota, where almost the
entire population is said to be on the

aid is accompanied by a statement to
the effect that recent frosts destroyed

Application has been made to the
county authorities for assistance, but
it has been discovered that the want

Probably no one thing has caused such
general revival OF trade at j. G. Gibson's Drug

THE Martinsburg Herald spread
pretty much all over its pages the
statement that the Mills bill placed
coal on the free list and increased the
duty on sugar and rice 100 per cent.
When the palpable falsity of the thing
is proved, the Herald says it was a
"slip of the PEN" Considering these
and other similar misstatements. the
editors pen is either made to slip"
w;Ilfully or else the writer is entirely
too ignorant of the provisions Of the
Mills hill TO even attempt to discuss it
with intelligent readers.

THE sugar trust is shutting down a
number Of the refineries it controls
incidentally throwing thousands OF
persons out of employment-in order
to limit the production and run up
the prices. The discharged workmen
must not complain, though, nor the

protest, for Mr.. Blaine says trusts are
private concerns with which Mr..
Cleveland or any other citizen has no
right to interfere
