1t is with sadness. we pen the fol-
lowing announcement: John II. Wot-

been i'll for several weeks, and died

mon. The cortege will reach this
city about 8 o'clock. Interment in

Our community was shocked and
grieved at the death of John Il. Wot-
ring. In the prime and vigor of life
he fell by the wayside. But little
while ago clothed in all the noblest
attributes OF manhood, he sleeps now
with the myriads who have passed
into the undiscovered country. He
was brave TO endure and to suffer.
Instinct with the Undertaking cour.
age of proud race, vital with the
energy of an honest purpose, of q
nature that would feel the stain OF
dishonor like wound, all knew him
for one of natures noblemen. He
sleeps today, his noble spirit hover
ing somewhere over the limitless
ocean Of eternity, and they who knew
him mourn his loss with all the bitter
regret of the irrevocable. - Frederick
County, Va. Ea.
The deceased was born and raised
in Union district, this county, where
his father still resides, being one of
the oldest men in the county. He is
about 81 years old at this time and

families of the county. She died in
1864, while FIVE of her sons were in
the Confederate army. He was a

Sammie's Reminder.

Little Sammies grandma had
taught him to talk in the following
manner. She would have him repeat
after her the different words. For in.
stance. she would say: Now Sam
ME, yow say: Grandma. I'll be
very good boy" and Sammie would
say it over after her.
At last, Sammie reached the dig
nifty of two years; and could talk
pretty well, stumbling only once in
while over some big word.
One day Sammie was allowed to
spend the morning with some of his
little neighbors. 1t was in maple
sugar time, and the kind lady of the
house brought out piece for each. as
she supposed.
But in some way Sammie did not
receive his piece. H. waited just as
long rs human nature would permit,
and then, walking up to Mrs. Rice,
said:
''Auntie Rice, say to me: 'Sammie.
dear, wouldn't uou like a piece of
maplc-sugar, too?"
Auntie Rice said this to him as he
requested, and he bravely answered:
Yes m. if you please.
Whereupon he received the largest
piece of all, and enjoyed it heartily

rapidly. She would not for the world have
