three years than anywhere in the coun-

overcoats-it was cold.
Thus ended the grandest reunion ever
had in any college in Virginia. The
class system made it characteristic. The
recognition of boys long separated, the

Death Of John j. Straughan.

The sad information reached Staunton
on Saturday last of the death of Mr.
John J. Straughan, editor of the High
land Recorder, at Monterey on Friday
night. He had been confined to his
room for some days before his DEATH
which was unexpected at the time it oc-
Cured. His remains were brought to
Staunton and inferred from the resi-
dence of his brother, MrW. c. Straughan,
and his mother, on Sears Hill, Rev. Dr.
Rogers, Of the M. E. Church, officiating,
and the following gentlemen acting as
pail -bearers: w. A. Burnett, n. Argen-
bright, Henry Lickliter, A. Lauriot, L..
A. Fraser, and J. b. Burwell.
Mr.. Straughan was born in Spottsyl-
vania county in 1871, and at the time of
his death was 4S years of age. His fam
ilv removed to the Valley many years
ago where the deceased spent most of
his life. He was married in 1861 to Miss
Sallie Oates, an adopted daughter of
VIM. Carroll, deceased, who survives him
and was present at his funeral, and by
whom he leaves three children-two sons
and one ca 1ghter.
Mr.. Straughan was printer by pro-
fession, and thoroughly understood his
business. He had naturally bright
mind, which had been improved by eX-
tensive reading and travel. There is
scarcely prominent town in the country
that he had not visited and worked at
his trade. Of rowing disposition, he
could not be induced to locate perma-
nently until in May last he leased the
Highland Recorder establishment and
assumed control as it's publisher. He
made it a newsy and interesting journal,
and he had the promise of success when
death ended his career.
Mr.. Straughan was a gentleman OF
kindly nature and generous to a fault
He was liked by all who knew him. May
the sod rest lightly upon his grave.
