DIED AT THE AGE OF 10 YEARS. -
Celia Wormely, colored, the oldest
person in Shenandoah Valley, and
perhaps the oldest person in the State,
died at MiddletoWn, Va. July so, aged
ITO years. She was one of a large
number of slaves owned by Conrad
Carter, of Fauquier county, whose
will provided that his slaves should
all be freed when 80 years of age.
Hence "Aunt" Celia enjoyed eighty
years of freedom. -Four generations
of her numerous descendants are re-
presented here and elsewhere in the
State. Her recollections of persons
and events of the long time ago were
clear and her vigor of body and mind
were remarkable. She was present
at prayer meeting of the colored
people short time before her death
and joined heartily in the singing
with strong, clear oice.-Aduocate

DEATH CLAIMS A Promising
You've MAS.-After a struggle of g
few weeks with typhoid fever, George
Albert Dittmyer surrendered his life
on Tuesday morning last, at the age
of 10 years. Deceased was the eldest
son of Mr.. George Dlttmyer, of Boil
var, and was young man well known
here for quiet good sense, honesty
and uprightness. He was, we learn,
just making arrangements to enter
college the coming Fall, and, had he
lived there is little doubt that he
would have attained to a proud dis
tinction in some of the higher walks
of life. By his death heavy blow is
dealt his mothers pride, his fathers
ambition, and these grief-stricken par.
ents have the sympathy of many
here. -lSentiysel.

Sheriff Miller attended preaching at
the Presbyterian church here last Sun
day morning and looked quite natural
in the old sanctuary.
Supervisor Willett is repairing the
road between here and the depot, but
the meagre amount of money placed
at his disposal will not allow him to
do much work upon it. The road
from Gerardstown to Inwood is now
one of the most important in the
county, and good, solid pike should
be built between these points as soon
as possible.
Rev. E. NJ. Miller, a younger son
of Mr.. VIM. S. Miller, of this neigh
borhood, preached in the Presbyterian
church of this place, last Sunday nigh
a-week. This was his first sermon al
his boyhood's home here and was {
source of great pleasure to the large
congregation that assembled to hear
him. In our judgment the sermon
was one of superior merit in both sub
ject-matter and manner of delivery
and gave promise of great success ano
usefulness in his pulpit ministrations
He is at present located at West Ches
ter, Pa Gerdrdsto,ca Times.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

MIR. ]. S. TRAMMELL begs leave to
inform the citizens of BERKELEY, JEFFER.
SON AND MORGAN counties, that he has
again opened up business at the old Wis
ner Stand, next door to Lutheran Church
with an entire NEW STOCK OF FINE GRO
CERES which he has purchased in NEW
YORK for CASH, and which he is now
offering at VERY ATTRACTIVE PRICES for
STRICTLY SPOT CASH, or in exchange for
country produce. 1t is well-known
fact that merchants who give credit al
ways count on large percentage of bad
debts, and figure their prices so as to
leave a profit over and above the sum
they calculate to lose in this way. What
does this mean to the man who pays his
bills and meets his obligations 1t means
that he is compelled to pay 10, Is, and
even 20 per cent more than fair price
for the article he purchases in other
words he not only pays his own bills, but
indirectly pays the bills of every bad
debtor dealing with the merchant who
does business on credit basis. Our motto
is GOOD HONEST SERVICE, Low PRICES, 16
OUNCES TO THE POUND AND SPOT CASH.

Bunker Hill Correspondence.

Well, old boy, / prepared myself
for the heat usually found in crowd
ed house and with palm leaf fan ]
went to church a few Sundays ago.
suppose some peoplego to church here
like they do in your city, without
i. having any idea there is such a thing
as church manners ; yet tits true that
such thing should lif it does mott
exist in all communities and one of
the first remarks to be made in the in
terest ofgood manners in church con-
Germs is in arriving there. TO be a
few minutes too early rather than too
late is the reverence for the place ard
the occasion as well as of common
sense. Unfortunately in many houses
Sabbath morning might be called
scramble time, so much hurry and
hustle, having taken an extra hour in
bed, therefore there is less margin
than usual SO there is more TO do.
never light task even in the best
regulated household. A minister
once said to spend The hour before
coming to church in preparation ofthe
heart, in quiet prayer for the Divine
blessing, devoted to reading and
meditation. How few are they who
find time for this anticipation of the
sanctuary and to the few who have
made it their lifelong habit, how
precious the soul exercise is and how
reluctantly will they give it up. Be
in time for church, friends, if only
for department sake; it is not we'll
bred to sweep up church isle in rust
ling dresses nor tiptoe through the
same in creaking boots, distracting
the attention of the people from the
minister to yourself. Better late than
never, undoubtedly, but in the major
ity Of cases you never need be late.
The same care should be taken to
reach church in time as to reach the
railway station by which you travel,
Or to keep business engagement.
Another thing, were your minister
calling on you socially, though you
long for his visit to conclude that
you might resume an interrupted oc-
cupation, you would sooner die than
by look or tone allow him to suspect
your WEAKNESS. Yet, good sir, your
a transgressor in this regard you
think nothing Of drawing forth your
watch in the very midst of the sermon,
while in the face of the man who is
preaching, you take glance at the
minute or hour hand, snap the case
and put the watch back in your pocket,
and do this without the decency to be
ashamed. Perhaps the sermon is long
or than you like a sermon to be. Butt
consider if it were a scientific lecture
and the least bit brief you would COM
plain that you had not received your
moneys worth and were it politi-
cal speech you would hang on breath
less to the orators words, and never
remember the watch in your pocket |
while he proved to you exactly what
you accepted before he opened his
mouth. Is there not room for fear
that you are not deeply interested in
the preachers matter,-that the
spiritual sense in you needs cultiva-
ton ; that responsiveness is waiting
when Gods messenger who brings
Gods messages is treated with dis.
courtesy in the place dedicated to
Gods worship. My dear friend. i'll
this be your fault, think over it and
please old-fashioned folks who are
prejudiced in favor of politeness, and |
do so no more.

plate were, no doubt, very good, but
manure, properly applied, and intel
ligently treated, was the best improv-
er of the soil. The subject was very

which the farmers cannot take too

interesting remaks on the same SUBJ

quick but more lasting.
