Mrs. Jackson

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson with her two
urday afternoon last via the G.. & 0.
r. R. and stopped at the Virginia Hotel.
The Stonewall Brigade Band called at
the hotel and gave Mrs jackson a sere-
made. Mr.. Thomas Christian, Mrs. Jack
sons son-in-law, responded to the COM
pliment. In neat, chaste and ornate
speach he thanked the members of the
band, and ON behalf of those who were
two young to speak for themselves, and
of the lady who could not fill such po-
sition, expressed their pleasure at the
remembrance of the noble deeds of the
worthy heroes who had rendered the
name of Jackson immortal Mr.. Chris
tians speach was much admired by
those who were fortunate enough to
hear it. Mr.. Christian is a member of
ing magazines of the country. He
makes Staunton his headquarters while
engaged in his editorial work in this and
adjacent counties.
Mrs. Jackson and her grandchildren
are spending some time in Staunton and
are at Sherwood in the eastern suburbs
Of the city.
During the epidemic of flux in this
county last summer, [ had hard work to
keep a supply of Chamberlain's collie,
cholera and diarrhma remedy on hand.
People often come ten or twelve miles in
the night to get a bottle of the remedy.
l have been selling patent medicines for
the last ten years and find that it has
given better satisfaction in cases of diar-
rhea and fux, than any other medicine
| have ever handled.-J. II. Benham,
Druggist, Golconda, Pope county Ill.
Over five hundred bottles of this rem
edy were sold in that county during the
epidemic referred to. 1t was a perfect
success and was the only remedy that
did cure the worse cases. Dozens of
persons there will certify that it saved
their lives. In four other epidemics of
bowel complaint this remedy has been
equally successful. 25 and so cent bot

Death of Miss Maggie F. Landes.

1t is with deep regret that we announce the
death, of typhoid fever, at Knoxville Tenn, on
the 3lst ult, of Miss Maggie +. Landes, daughter
of VIM. II. Landes, Esq, of MtSdney,ag aged about
% years. Deceased went to Knoxville i'll Sep.
tember.last on a visit to her sister, Mrs. E. w
Ferry. Soon after her arrival there. she was
called upon to nurse her brother, Mr.. w. III. d
Landes. who was in business in Knoxville
through long and severe spell of fever. When
her brother became convalescent, Miss Maggie
accepted a position saleslady in a book and
stationery store in Knoxville, and was rapidly
advancing in the confidence and esteem of her
employers when she was stricken by the same
dread maiady which nearly carried off her
brother a few months before Her friends here
were advised of her illness, but from the tenor
of the information supposed the attack mild and
felt very little apprehension of serious results.
They were terribly shocked by the receipt of a
telegram announcing her death, and that her
remains would arrive in Staunton on the morn
ing Of the ISt inst. She had been sick only some
ten days. Her funeral was preached at a.
m, Saturday last. I'd inst, at Mt. Sidney by the
late pastor, Rev P. d. Crickenberger. The re-
mains We're then conveyed to the Salem ceme-
terry and inferred in the family lot. Messrs. j. j

The deceased was a Young lady of the most
exemplary character, ana had been for several
years consistent and earnest member of the
Lutheran church at Mt. Sidney. The high es-
teen In which she was held by the entire com
IHuHlby WIS dJLeSteu ny Dile lifSeSG crowd we
have seen for a long time gathered to pay the
last tribute to the memory of q departed friend,
ana the writer never saw more genuine sympa-
thy for a bereaved family than was exhibited
upon this occasion. 1t is hard, Oh so hard, to
give up our dear ores, when we may stand at
the bedside and soothe their dying aoonies by
loving care and tenderness: but OH how I'M
bearable the anguish which wrings hearts
when the cold hand of the relentless destroyer
is laid upon a loved one far from home, "a stran-
ger in strange land"
Forgetting that ''whom He loveth He chas-
tcneth" how hard it is for poor, weak, fathless
ing Providence" the smiling face of the loving
and gracious Father,
May the bereaved father and mother and
brother and sisters find solid comfort in the
many assurances they have that their loved one
has passed over the dark river and safely
reached the evergreen shores on the other side
and wearing a Crown of Glory, is now enjoying
that HelGser walk with God,'' of which she loved
SO well TO sing. ~

Lot Sale at Harrisonburg.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Harrisonburg Land and I'm
provement Company. The sale of it's
valuable lots will take place on the Goth
of August. The holdings of this com
pany embrace some of the best and most
eligible properties in that beautiful and
attractive location, and those who may
be fortunate enough to purchase will
be amply repaid for the outlay. Har-
risonburg is the capital town of the rich
county of Rockingham, and is admirably
situated for improvement. The Land
Company and the Mineral Company
formed for that purpose. have been in
augurated under the most favorable
auspices, and have been remarkably sue
cessful in their management thus far.
The discovery of valuable minerals in
the immediate vicinity, and the pur-
chase of anthracite coal lands on Briery
Branch, 10 or 10 miles distant from the
town, give assurance that the improve
ment companies mean business. The
construction of railroad to the coal
fields, now in contemplation, will assure
a healthy advance in properties, and
give to investors a return which will be
not only gratifying but profitable. At
tend the sale on the Goth, and make
money by it,
