county, Virginia, December 18th, 1906,
and died at his residence on South High
street, Hillsboro, o., July 18th, 1891, at
the age of IS. In early life he was
married to Mary E. Fuell, true Christ
ian wife and mother, with whom he
lived happily until her death, which
occurred February 10th, 1867. Since
that time he has been "only waiting till
the shadows are little longer grown"
He was member of the Methodist
Church for many years. 1t was a
familiar place to him, and his hands
tolled out the funeral knell of many ol
our fathers now sleeping in our quiet
cemetery.
Mr.. Brown came to Hilltboro in 1885
He was an honest man, a good citizen
and a true Virginian and was respected
by all. During his last sickness he suf
fered much pain and expressed a long

light was breaking, watched and sur
rounded by bis family of three sons ant
two daughters with other friends, he wal
gathered home like sheaf fully ripe.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The second game with the Eclipses, OF
Cincinnati, resulted in score OF l2 to 8.
The hackers of the home team are not
discouraged by this as the score was a
remarkably good one, considering that
our boys were outclassed by the Eclipses,
who were men of long practice. The
visitors spoke very highly of our club
and admitted that the victory was well
earned.
The result Of the game on Thursday,
between the Logans and Hillsboros at
Chillicothe, was awaited with great
anxiety by base bail enthusiasts here.
At five o'clock telephone message an
nouncing the score 4 to 2 in favor of the
Losans slightly dashed the hopes of the
base ball cranks and speculations were
rife as to the cause of the defeat. The
game on Friday was victory for Hills
boro and the score as it came over the
wire brought joy to many hearts and
restored the sacred nine to their places
in the highest esteem and worship OF
their fellow citizens. This game stood
| 10 to 8, making the third game out of
four in which we have knocked out the
Logans.
In the basting which the printers gave
the tailors it was neglected to mention
how Fullerton struck out twenty-three
tailors during the game. He expects to
do as we'll by the clerks next Thursday.
Reece's pitching and Arthur's catching
continue to be the features of the Hills.
boro's ball playing. Pickerel always
does we'll when put in the box.
Ball playing is attended by fewer
casualties now than formerly on account
of the use of masks, protectors, padded
gloves, etc., but accidents will happen
occasionally even to the best of them.
In Wednesdays game Grip" Mullenix
received high fly to right field on the
bridge of his nose, which brought a
liberal flow of clarct but resulted in nc
serious injury. Frank CLANCY also got
bitter on the head while PLAYING left
field in one of the Chillicothe games
"Banty" fell in trance and remained
oblivious to the world for about ter
minutes. 1t is said that this little per
formance was greeted by the Chilli
cotheans with howls of delight.

A petition was circulated among our
business men one day last week, address.
ed to the city council and asking for the
immediate repeal of the traction engine
ordinance or for some modification of it
that will make it less obnoxious to engine
owners and to farmers who are indirect
ly affected byit. In many cases farmers
are put to inconvenience and loss of time
by the restrictions which the ordinance
places upon the moving of thrashing
outfits which are operated by traction
engines. This has tendency to create a
prejudice in the minds of many who
think they see in it an intentional dis
elimination against the interests of the
country people. The spread of this feel
ing would be very detrimental to the
business interests of Hillsboro and the
business men who would be directly
affected thereby, speak with good deal
of feeling about the matter. The petit
ton carries the names of nearly one
hundred of the leading firms and bust.
ness men, many OF whom desire the re-
moval of all restrictions while others
favor. the modification OF the ordinance.
The petition will be presented to council
at its next meeting.

INCENDIARY FIRE.
An Attempt to Burn the Store Of ]. ).
Puckett
BY Some Rascal Who Cuts a Panel from
the Back Door and Punches n
Hole In the Oil Tank.

The village of Buford, the native home
Of sensations, was thrown into an un.
usual state of mystery and suspicion
last Saturday morning by fire which
was evidently thework of an incendiary.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mrs.
James Weaver, who had arisen to attend
to the wants Of sick child, discovered a
fire in the rear of ]. s. Puckett's grocery.
A general alarm was turned in and the
flames extinguished before any consider.
able damage was done. An investigation
of the premises after the fire was put
out showed that part of the lower panel
Of the back door had been cut out and
a hole had been punched with some
sharp instrument into the coal oil tank
which stood near the opening. Fire
had then been applied to the running
oil, and but for the timely discovery ol
the blaze the entire building, together
with the two adjoining houses, would
have been destroyed.
There were other traces which indi
Gated that the incendiary was familiar
with the premises, but it remains |
mystery why he should want to burr
out Mr.. Puckett, as the stock was know
to be insured, and the store.room ant
dwelling which belong to DR.. Anderson
and the adjoining residence of MI
Weaver would have been totally de
stroyed. Mr.. Puckett is q young man
well liked in the community and doin
a fair business, having only started il
business last spring. DR.. Anderson re
moved to Buford only last spring, and
a man with an excellent reputation i
the community. Jim Weaver is not SUI
posed to have an enemy on earth, 8
that no object can be assigned for a
tempting such cowardly deed. Th
loss to the stock amounted to twent
dollars.

A Bank Cashiers Ride on LOcoms-
tive to Save q Few Moments
Time.

We clip from the Villisca, Iowa, In
dependent the following account of q
thrilling ride on locomotive by Charley
West, of that place. Mr.. West is SON
inlaw of Mr.. Jas. Reece and is known
to many here, having formerly resided
in this county:
When anything requires immediate
attention, especially in the cause of right
and justice, no one in this section can be-
found more on the alert or ready for
action than the popular, efficient and
accommodating cashier of the Citizens,
Bank, of Villisca, Mr.. @. j. West, in
whose hands the funds and interests of
the people are at all times safe and
secure.
1t so happened that Cashier West had
to make speedy, expeditions trip to-
Clarinda, and to effect the desired result
it was necessary for him to reach there
by specified time, about fifteen minutes
being the limit. Nothing daunting, he
procured c., B. & Q. engine No. 3OS.
Wes w. Arnold was engineer; of course
O. j. was commander-in-c chief for the
run, and Clarinda, the destined point,
was reached l6 miles, in 13 minutes.
He transacted his business, which was
of an important legal nature, few min
utes ahead of defeating time and then
quietly and serenely returned home. II
the time made and successful business
transacted was ever equaled in that short
space of time we would like to hear 10,
because we have never yet heard of such
| a case.
N. B.-Clear the track when G. ]. w.
is coming. Don't forget it.

Something New Under the Sun.

Some time ago we spoke of the patent
device tor hotel register, of which Rev.
James Murray is the inventor. One Of
the principal difficulties which Mr..
Murray had to encounter was in getting
paper made and ruled in the proper
manner for his register. The paper
should be in long continuous rolls with
ruling similar to that usually used in
hotel registers, but no such paper as this
could be found and inquiry among the
manufacturers showed that nothing of
the kind was known to the trade. Mr..
Woods, of the firm OF Chatfield& & Woods,
to whom Mr.. Murray explained what
he wanted, said there was no machinery
by which it could be done and that the
thing was impossible.
Being of an inventive turn of mind
Mr.. Murray set his faculties to work
upon the problem and after some study
evolved an idea which when embodied
in wood and iron proved to be a ruling
machine that does exactly the work re-
quired. By this machine roll of paper
hundreds of feet in length may be ruled
with parallel blue lines running cross
wise and any number of red or blue
lines running lengthwise, the remark.
able feature being that the two sets OF
lines are drawn at the same time while
the paper moves through the machine.
The usual way of ruling is to put the
paper through twice. Some ofthe work
done by the model is before US, and
from the smoothness and perfect parallel.
ism of the lines it appears to be equal
to the best ruled paper. Besides pre-.
pairing the paper for use in his register
the machine is capable OF other applica.
tions and might be used for ruling all
kinds of paper as it comes from the
paper machine and before it is cut into
sheets. The invention is decided sue
cess and is satisfaction to Mr.. Murray
in as much as it is an entirely original
idea and accomplishes that which ex'
perienced paper makers had pronounced
to be an impossibility.
