a Sad Death

Greenbrier Iladeperdent.: Claudio Tur-
ner, son of Prof T. M. Turner, died at
the residence of his father, in Lewisburg,
Thursday, September 9Th, 1889, in the
18th of his age The circumstances at
tending the death of this little fellow are
sad indeed. He left his home early
Thursday morning last to attend to his
duties at the Greenbrier Cannery, where
he was employed, and in the faithful per-
Torrance of those duties he lost his life.
1t seems it was assigned him to dip the
iron wicker baskets, filled with tomatoes,
into the vat containing hot water, and
in lifting a basket out he lost his balance
and was plunged head foremost into the
scalding water He was rescued as soon
as possible, and carried home, where he
received every attention, but death had
laid it's hold upon him and in few hours
he passed away from his loved ones and
his pain. Claude was highly thought OF
by the Canning Company, not only on ac-
count of his faithful performance of duty,
but for his courteous, manly and gener-
Gus bearing toward all with whom he was
thrown, never neglecting his duties and
never failing to do kindness or extend
a courtesy In his death the Company
loses a popular and faithful employee,
and the community an exemplary little
man. The sympathies of all go out to
the family so suddenly and terribly be-
reaved. A FRIEND.
ooh, you are fighting the party" is
the Mortified expression of the Maho-
mite, when you tell him you will not
vote for Malone. That is his idea OF
what the Republican party is. 1t is
Malone from beginning to end. He is
the party 1t belongs to him and all
who claim to be Republicans must ae-
knowledge themselves as his slaves, or
they are not Republicans, but traitors.
And yet this is called free country, and
men are supposed to be governed by
convictions of principle in their pollt-
ical associations. Well, the result of the
election will show that the woods are
full of TRAITORS and that they have
the courage to glory i'll the epithet, if
made effective to defeat Malone.
In 1887 the large and complete Touring
mill erected by Messrs. Glen & Wenger,
at Harrisonburg, was entirely destroyed
by fire. 1t had just commenced opera
lions and the loss was very heavy Since
then the site of the mill has only marked
the disastrous ruins. We learn from the
| Spirit, however, that Messrs. John D..
and Noah Beery, of Linville Creek, have
purchased the site for S., 700, and will at
once commence rebuilding the mill, af-
ter the same plan and pattern of the one
burned This is very important I'M
dertaking for Harrisonburg and the far
mers of that vicinity. 1t will be mar
ket for wheat and add to the business OF
| the town.
Col. J. w. Fairfax, of Prince William,
who was on Longstreet's Staff, and who
has been voting the Republican ticket
since 1872, says he will not support Ma
hone If there is no independent Re
publican out, he will cast his vote for
| G. A. Heerman's, of Montgomery, fol
Governor Col James L. Taiiaferro, OF
Stafford, a prominent Republican, it is
stated, will not vote for Malone.
Take from Gen. Malone the patron
age of the Federal government and he
would not command $4,000 white votes
| in the State His caucuses and cOnven
tions are made up principally OF office
holders and office-seekers many of whom
despise him. yet pass under his yoke in
the hope of sharing in the spoils. The
people, however, speak at the ballot
box in November.
Miss Cora Reynolds has been ap-
pointed postmaster at Head Waters
Highland county, Va; N. G. Hiveiy, at

Walter g. Campbell passed through
the maelstrom of Niagara Falls, on Sun
day last, in a cork life preserver and
came out safe. He was accompanied by
New Foundland dog, in a similar suit,
and with like IMMUNITY.
The Republicans of Nelson have nom
mated W. H. Goodwin. Esq, for the
Legislature. 1t is good selection and
we hope will he be elected.
