One of the Old Pepper-Corn Deeds.

One of the oldest deeds of record in tn e
county of Augusta, is that of VIM Bever-
ley to Alexander Mcfeaters to be found in
Deed Book No. 1, the first deed book made
in the county clerk s office 1t conveyed ON
Aug. 18th, 1747, a tract of land that has since
been in the possession of the McPheeters
family by descent up to this time, one hu H.
dred and forty-two years, and, strange to
say, up to the 9th Of August last it was
the only deed ever affecting that property.
1t had come down from father to son to it's
late owner, Archibald A. McPheeters. who
died about two years ago. 1t was sold Au-
gust 9th, and bought by VIM. A. McPhee-
ters, his son, when the second deed in it's his
tory was made. Like many of the deeds in
Deed Book No. it contains what is called
the pepper corn" and ''Lady-day" stipu-
latiOn. 1t reads as follows:
''To have and to hold unto the said AL
eXander Mcfeaters, for and during the full
term of one whole year, then next ensuing,
and fully to be completed and yielding and
paying therefor the rent of one pepper corn
on Lady day next, if the same shall be law

Going to Richmond.

We learn that Mrs. Col. w. L. Bum
gardner will leave for Richmond in a few
days, where she will teach music.
If success attends her there, her
family will make it their permanent
home. Mrs. Bumgardner has one of the
finest soprano voices in the State, which
will be great addition to the musical
talent of Richmond. AS teacher her sue
cess in Stalnton has been marked, and
some of the best young vocalists and per-
formers in our city have been under her
training. The value of this success will
be understood when it is remembered that
this is city of female colleges and profess
sors of music, and it requires great talent
and success in an instructor, to establish
a class outside of the skilled professionals
who are here.

Death of Sronewau Jackson's Daughter.

Mrs. W. E. Christian Julia Jackson)
died on Friday morning last of typhoid
fever at the residence of her husband in
Charlotte, n. c., where he is editor of the
Democrat. 1t was in that town that she
was born November %, 1852, while her
father was in his famous Valley campaign,
and he did not see her until she was five
months old. She leaves two little children.
She had spent great deal of her early
WOmanhOOd in StauntOn where her mother
was educated, and had many friends here.
1t was on her that the last glance of her
famous father rested. DR.. Dabney in his
account of Stonewall JacksOn's death bed,
says: ellis infant was now brought before
him to receive last embrace. AS soon as
she appeared in the doorway his face lit
up, he embraced her and endeavored to
caress her with his shattered arm, while
she smiled with infantile delight. He con-
tinued to play with her until the near ap-
proach of death unerved his arm and I'M
consciousness settled down upon him. :"
She had been baptised in his tent Il few
days before the battle of Charlottesville
in which he received his death wound. At
her funeral in Charlotte, her fathers sword
was laid on her coffin which was covered
with Confederate flag. On each side of
the pulpit were three muskets stacked. Her
remains were carried to Lexington and
buried by the side of her father on Saturday
last. Many of the veterans of the Stone
wall Brigade who attended the unwilling of
the statue of Jackson at Richmond, will re-
member her as the little girl that Gov.
Kemper lifted in his arms and introduced
as Stonewall Jackson S daughter.
