We had the pleasure Of call ON Tues
day from Mr.. John Goode, son of DR.;
W. H. Goode, of this place, A few years
ago John was a popular telegraph mes
senger boy. He worked himself up to
take charge of an instrument-went
West, and was advanced to responsible
and lucrative positions in his calling
was then invited to important offices i'll
railroad management, and is now Su-
perintendent of the Kansas City and
Southern Railroad, with headquarters
in Kansas City. His history since he
left Staunton has been succession Of
promotions, following quickly one after
the other, until now he holds one of tie
most important and lucrative positions
in the railroad systems of the West. t
is a source of real pleasure for us to no
tice the success of Staunton boys, who
achieve 1t unaided by anything else than
their own merit. John Goodies ad-
vancement has been phenomenal, and his
/ friends here all unite with us in congrat-
ulations to the dutiful son, the faithful
messenger boy, and the honored and re-
SPECIFIED Superintendent of one of the
most important railroad systems in the

We notice that savings banks are both

Harry Frazier.

Harry Frazier and his intere sting fam
lily we've in the city last week. Harry is
now Superintendent of Maintenance of
Way of the entire Chesapeake and Ohio
system-a position of responsibility and
requiring more than ordinary executive
ability. A few years ago Harry was an
amateur job printer, having a little
press of his own, and occasionally bor-
rowing few type to make out a font to
amuse himself and pass off the idle
hours, in printing cards, or something
of that kind. AS he reached mans es-
tate in years-he hasn't reached the
physical size yet-he manifested an incli-
nation for railroad work-went to Ken
lucky, secured a subordinate position,
and gradually worked himself, by merit
alone, to his present important office. He
is third in command in the manageri Il
department of the great Chesapeake and
Ohio system and is yet mere boy in
appearance, although he is in possession
of lovely little wife and three or four
dots of children. His success, SO gratifying
and rapid, shows what pluck and appli-
cation can do His many friends in
Staunton will watch his career with in
terest and throw an old shoe after him
every time he takes a step forward.

The Evil Of Child Murder.

Chicago Physician In the Times.
Two beings, married in accordance
with Gods law, thereby accept the re-
sponsibility of offspring, just as they ac-
cept the pledge of mutual love and sup
port. To replace them upon the earth IS
necessary that at least three children be
born to them upon the basis of 80 per
cent mortality; but If no children be per-
mitted to live by the grace of the abor-
zionist, depopulation must be the result.
Hence the folly of crying out against the
foreigner, when in this city whole blocks
may be travelled and thousand homes
visited and no gladstone voice of child
hood heard This is so well known that
certain landlords, for whom childhood
has terrors, erect fats to be let only ito
families without children" never con-
sidering what honorable mothers are to
do with their babes. Indeed, so vulgar"
has child-bearing become that, Ike gen
eral domestic work, the fashionable
mother, eager for the corroding excite
ment of society, leaves the cares of mater
nifty to the Irish and the Germans and
then learnedly lnveighs against foreign
immigration.

The lesson of the great Burlington
strike, just now declared at an end after
eleven months of bitter, persistent war
fare on both sides, has been most ex-
pensive one to all concerned, and the
worst feature of it is that nothing has
been accomplished by either side, but
both have been losers almost beyond
computation. However, if the lesson
shall have made an impression upon other
corporations and operatives to the extent
of lettering them from making the same
faux pas it will not be wholly in vain

break faith with northern benefactors.
has been deprived of the $1,000 year
formerly paid it by the state of Georgia

agree with the Hartford Couraut that
this is pretty heavy fine to pay for
consistent and self-respecting resistance
to wrongful dictation. 1t leaves the

more important and the demands upon
it more urgent than ever before. wholly

kind, 1t must have SIS, 200 this year to
defray its running expenses. One ot
these days, it is hoped. some philan-

financial basis. Until then It's friends
