Death Of Samuel G. williams.

Mr.. Sam'l G. Williams, the agent of the
B. & o. r. R., at Broadway, Rockingham
county, Va, died on Monday morning at s
o'clock, after an illness of about one
month, although he had really been ID
rather delicate health for : much longer
time. Mr.. Williams died comparatively
young man, his age being but as years,
and his loss will be severely felt. He was
the oldest agent in point of service on
this road, he having served % years, with
the exception of an interval of four years,
during which he filed the responsible
office of Superintendent of the Virginia
penitentiary. Mr.. Williams was born In
Woodstock, and was the son Of the late
Capt. Sam'l C. Williams, who filled the
Office of Clerk Of the county for many
years, and was one of our most prominent
and highly respected citizens. Mr.. Will
liams received a liberal education. and
was absent at school when the war broke
out. He returned at once to rejoin his
company, the Muhlenburg Rifles, one of
the first to be ordered into service. After
serving with conspicuous gsllantry IN
this command under Stonewsll jackson,
he was transferred to Chew's Battery, OF
Horse Artillery. where his record as
soldier was bright aud unsullied, lie being
one of the trusted gun sergeants OF this
celebrated company. Upon the election
of Gov. Cameron he was elected Superin-
tendent of the Virginia penitentiary,
filling this responsible position with the
highest credit to himself aud advantage
to the State. Mr.. Williams was man OF
positive convictions upon all questions,
and never feared to maintain them at
any time. Upright in everything lis
name was a synonym for honesty, land as
a friend he was true as steel. He scorned
a mean action from the Utmost depths OF
his soul, and a deceitful person or
sycophant was to him an object OF the
deepest contempt. To his wife and chill
dren he was ever "tender and true," for
he was indeed a devoted husband and
father, and it is over that family circle so
precious to him that this unspeaksbly
sad bereavement will hang darkest and
longest. Mr. Williams married Miss
Sallie Clover, daughter of the late Jacob
B. Clover, of this place, and leaves q
widow and seven children. He leaves
three brothers in this place, Gen'l Jas. H.,
W. T., and Chas. C. Williams, and two
sisters, Mrs. Bette Marshall, who resides
here, and Mrs. L. Wagner, of Richmond,
Va. Another brother, Geo. II. Williams.
gave up his life as a gallant Confederate
soldier on the blood stained bills OF
Brandy Station. The intcrment took
place at Broadway, on Tuesday afternoon,
at 4 o'clock, and was conducted by Rev.
P. Fletcher, of the Presbyterian church,
assisted by Rev. Mr.. Ballard, of the Re
formed church.
Peace to the ashes of this noble, kind
ly, generous soul.

business to keep going. On the LIST oil
January we will revise our subscription
list, and all those who have failed 10
SQUARE up by that time will be dropped
from the list and their accounts placed in
the hands of an officer. This we greatly
regret to do, but we are forced TO it by
the strongest law of nature, that OF self
preservation. 1t is simply impossible for
us TO bear the expense of furnishing the
paper to those who show no disposition
to encourage us in return. To those who
pay us we feel deeply grateful, and we
earnestly hope that every one of our sub
scribers will show their appreciation of
our efforts TO plea. them by coming up at
once and squariDg their accounts.
Our friends will be glad to know that
the HERALD is prospecting, new subscrlo-
ers being constantly added to our list and
our patronage generally is increasing at a
most gratifying rate. In return we will
show our appreciation Of this kindness by

every way worthy of the widespread and
general support it is receiving.
Bear in mind that after the LIST OF Janu-
ary delinquents will be stricken from our
subscription books and their accounts put

On Tuesday morning the news reached
this place that the well known firm of
Kagey g. Miller, Of Mt. Jackson and
Luray, had become embarrassed and had
made an assignment for the benefit of
their creditors. While we have heard
none of the particulars we suppose the
failure involves the large mercantile estab-
lishment of Dir. Miller. at Mt. Jackson,
and the bank at Luray. One report puts
the liabilities at $3.50, 900 and the assets at
$500 900.

When you take cold or feel at all bad,
chilly with aches and pains through your
whole person, take the best possible care
of yourself, the cussed "grip" is again on
the wlrpath, and is spreading rapidly
over the country. Pittsburg physicians
say the disease is very bad in that city,
and there are as many persons down with
it to-day as year ago. Those who have
had it are particularly liable to second
attack. The present weather is just the
kind to spread it in its severest type.

FOLLOWED a Horse Car 10000 Miles.

An Greensboro (Ky.) dog followed a
street car in that place for nearly a year,
and travelled in that time 10000 miles.
His travels were cut short by a piece of
poisoned meat, and the Ow%ensboro
Messenger thus Eliminates his career:
ssThe queer freak Of the dogs follow.
ing the car was a singular illustration of
his faithfulness. In the early days Of
last March a c%ountryman came to town,
bringing the dog with him. He con-
cluded while here to take a street car
ride, and when he got on the car the dog
trotted along behind, as he had been
wont to do with his masters wagon.
When the man got off the car he passed
out the front, instead of the rear, where
he went in. The dog thus missed him,
and nothing could induce the animal to
leave the car without his master. He
followed that car for days, almost re-
fusing to eat, but at last he grew to like
the business and followed it to the day
of his death"
