Az. MILLER, Sec'y.

On Thursday, Aug. 18th, the sad
news was announced here that Miss
Ella Watson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Watson, of Charlestown,
had passed away.
The announcement of the sad news
brought expressions of deep sympa-
thy from her friends of this place, OF
which she had many.
Deceased was niece of Mr.. G. D.
i, Lambert with whom she made her
home, while completing her studies
at the High School, where she endear-
ed herself to both her teacher and
school-mates by her loving DISPOSE
tion and pleasant ways.
No more will parent, school-mateS,
friends, hear her voice. No more will
that we'll known figure be seen around
the family board, another place is va
! cant.
No pleasant reunion with school
mates in September, no more will
they hear her joyful laugh, another
voice is stilled, another friend gone,
one by one do our friends pass away,
but though their bodies may sleep in
the cold and silent grave, yet around
their names there clings sweet memo
ries of other days, but so things change,
God knows best. He moves in a
mysterious way His wonders to per-
form. The white horse and his rider
may claim the young as well as the
old, friends and acquaintance are
plucked from our side, we can hardly
realize they are gone, yet it is so; so is
life, it is but transient dream; death
is sure and certain;full oflife and spirit
to-day, tomorrow cold in the embrace
i of death. So it was with the deceas-
ed full of life and pleasure ; she was
4 like a ray of sunshine to those whom
Z she met. But soon the sun of life
grew dark, and futtered out, God had
called her and we must bow in sue'
mission to his will for whatsoever
He doeth is right. a FRIEND.

Teach man to think manly of him
self, to cast off all sense Of character and
all consciousness of superior nature
and moral persuasion can no more act
upon such man than if he were dead.
A man may be addicted to many vice:
and yet be q hope of retaining him
But the moment he loses all sense Of
character, that is the moment he begins
to look upon himself and his vice al
worthy of one another ; that moment al
hope of retaining him perishes for tbs
last ground is surrendered on which it Is
possible for his remaining good princi
pies to rally and make a stand. We
have often known men who have retain
ed their self-respect long after they haC
lost their regard for principles but nevet
one who retained his regard for princi
pie. after he had lost his self respect
Destroy this and you destroy every thin

NEW AND NOTICES.

For some years past our trade has been
urging us to keep line of Millinery in
connection with our other stock. The
fact is a first class Millinery store is a
growing necessity in this community
and early this spring we determined to
meet this demand, and will have first
class Millinery department opened in
time for the fall trade.
Sometime ago we gave out contract
for an annex to our building, which is
now under construction and will be
ready for US to occupy in September. 1t
will be connected with our store room
by an archway and will give us ample
room for large stock and magnificent
display of Millinery goods.
Several months ago we secured one of
the most desirable and artistic Trimmers
in Baltimore city. At our opening she
will take full charge of the Trimming Of
all Bonnets and Hats for the Fall trade
and will be with US to furnish any infor-
nation or offer any suggestions our GUS
toners may desire in regard to their
headgear. It Is our intention to keep a
FIRST CLASS Millinery Department in
every respect and keep nothing but the
Latest Styles and Shapes and give our
trade the great advantage Of having their
Bonnets and Hats trimmed in the most
Fashionable and Becoming Styles by an
Artistic Trimmer.
Very Respectfully, EMMERT & FIERY

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

MR.. J. S. TRAMMELL begs leave to
inform the citizens ofBERKELEY, 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 a 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 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 90 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, II
OUNCES TO THE POUND AND SPOT CASH.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT lon
Monday afternoon, whilst Leonard B.
Downs, better known as Bruce, and
his brother Charles were engaged in
quarrying stone in the quarry adjoin-
ing the Amman lime kilns situated at
kemp's, just enc mile north of this
place, a blast loaded with dynamite
exploded prematurely, killing Bruce
Downs instantly, and seriously injur-
ing the brother, Charles. The victim
of the deadly explosive was blown a
distance of ten feet from where he
stood, being horribly mutilated. Both
hands were off at the wrist, while his
neck was broken and his intestines
were scattered around his PROSTATE
form. The spalls from the discharge
bruised Charles whole body, break
ing finger of his left hand. Another
brother, Freeland, was in the quarry
at the same time but escaped unhurt.
Immediately after the accident occur
red, DrS. Richardson and Lesher of
this place were summoned, and rem
dered the necessary aid. Several of
our citizens also responded, sympa-
thetically, and assisted in preparing
the mangled remains of Leonard b.
Downs for immediate interment. At
10 O'Clock in the night following
the awful occurrence, the funeral of
the dead man took place. AS the
weird procession wendell its way
through the streets of the town toward
Potomac Hill cemetery, with its sue
cession of lights flashing out in the
darkness, and the measured tread of
the horses hoofs breaking the stiffness
ofthe night, one was deeply impress
ed by the circumstances attending the
occasion, and reminded forcibly of
the fact, that the thread of life is but
frail hold to the earth after all. Rev.
n. A. Horn, of the U. B. church, Of
iiciatcd both at the house and the
grave. Leonard B. Downs was held
in high esteem in this community,
and his untimely death is the source
of profound grief generally. Deceased
was aged 26 years, months and 10
days. The brothers were sons of the
late Christopher Downs, whose death
occurred about month ago.--ITan-
