OBITUARY.

It is with much sadness and hearts
moved with sympathy that We write this
notice of the death of Mrs. Maggie Belle
Martin, vito Of Robert II. Martin, enc OF
the Editors Of the VreiaiSa and Hsv'
More than two weeks ego typhoid fever
seized her. Tirelsss and tender nursing
by loving hands and watohful, skilful med
ical attention were unrsmittlng In efforts
to resist the ravages Of disease. The st.
tack was severe, bat her condition seemed
favorable and encouraging till Saturday
evening when hemorrhags appeared
From that time she sank slowly and con-
tnuously till Monday morning. August
49,, 1SSg, at o'clock, when she passed
quietly and painlessly away.
Her father. the late Richard c. Hughes;
came with his family from Clinton ooun-
ty, Penn, 10 Woodstock in March, 1905,
when she was q child Of six yoars Of age
Thus her Rirlhood was passed in this COM
munity and her life was identified and
blended beautifully with 1t.
On December 22nd, 1885, che wAs mar
ried to Robert II. Martin. who was then
editing The VirginidH. In person and
character she was lovely woman. Her
husband trusted solely in her, finding in
her clean mind and Affectionate heart the
completion Of his life. She was faithful
and unselhsh even in the detais OF every
relationship OF life aud her uniform and
enduring brightness was cheering to All
around her. Her character shone nosI
sweetly in her devotion ~ msthsr. The
mothers God and Father will keep ths
lone babe from whom he has taken her.
For twelve years she was member OF
the Presbyterian church. As q Christian
her geutleness and fAithfulness made hef
useful and beloved, specially in tho ser
vice of song. Her voice will linger LONG
in the hearts Of the congregation. In this
her church home, loving friends gathered
on Tuesday afternoon with her Borrowing
family to worship for the last time around
her body. Personal affection and sorre "
we're evident through the whole assembly
As the evening shadows wero lengtheninR
we passed from tho building and laid bel
- rest in the Lutheran church yard,
The hymn.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer TO Thee"
was often in he heart and WA one when
she wished sung at this service. Doubt
less the longing breathing through the''
words is fully satisfied now.

The London Telephone says Last Mon
day morning, about O'Clock colored
girl was shot aud killed in Leesburg, in a
mysterious manner. 1t seems that the
girl whose name was - Jackson went
10 the house Of Betsy Brookins, to get q
bucket Of slOp. She passed behind the
house and in a moment pistol shot was
heard and the girl ran out into the street
where she fell and expired. On examina-
ton it was found that she had been shot
through the neck. A large crowd imme-
diately gathered and q thorough search
made for the murderer, but no evidence
whatever could be found that would lead
to the detection Of the guilty party. The
Brookns woman was arrested on sus
pieion and Coroner Claggett summoned
jury before which she aud twenty ode
others were examined, but no clue coulC
be found to the solution Of the mystery
The Jury therefore rendered verdict de
claring that the girl died from the effec
Of a gun shot wound caused by some IN
known hand.

the regular sessions, discussions, and

a LUCE blue crane that measured six feet

Brumbaugh had his fearful fight with this
one that be overcame al VIM. Neeb's pond
few years ago, and which our readers
win remember he only succeeded in
killing after firing and falling back a
dozen times or more, and only bagged bis

ing one of the cranes wings at him.
