Lee Camp Soldiers Home.
RICHMOND. VA, July Is, 1901.


To the Charitable Public:
The Confederate Soldiers Home appeals
10 the public for means to put up Hospi
tai building for the Soldiers Home. The
large number of old Confederate soldier:
who are broken down in health and SUI
feripg from honorable wounds received in
The discharge OF their duty has taxed the
Board of Visitors to their utmost to main
tain the institution properly. In the last
| few months the number OF men In the
Hospital has averaged thirty out OF a
total number of 125. Our present facll-
tiles are inadequate. and it becomes abso-
lutely necessary to make better provisions
for the future. We therefore appeal for
help to those who admire the courage ard
devotion displayed by the Confederate
soldier to the cause he believed to be just,
who now in his old age and feeble health
is thrown upon the cold charity Of the
world, and whose only resting place is in
the country poor-house or the grave. A
few men, who determined to do their part
for their unfortunate comrades, built and
maintain the Confederate Soldiers Home,
near Richmond, Va. The small appropri-
alton made by the State of Virginia is not
sufficient to support the institution, and
we find it impossible to take large num-
Der of worthy applicants who are now
waiting admission.
Let those fortunate in the possession OF
competency remember the needs of their
unfortunate comrades, and so far as posi-
BILE come to their assistance and sustain
the Board in their efforts to relieve the
suffering of these poor old men.
Any donation, no matter how small,
will be appreciated. The Board needs at
this time about S. 900.
Very respectfully.
N. T. RANDOLPH, President.

Hicks for August.

Prot. Hicks, the weather prophet, pre-
diets the following concerning the wealth
er for the remainder of August The 10tf
and 18th, with moon at first quarter or
the 18th, will bring prolonged reaction
into higher temperature with storm ten
denotes. The 18th IS the center of the
next period. Signs of rain storms will
appear about 18th, 18th, 10th. Relic
from very hot days will come, if at all
with the change of wind currents about
the 18th. The Goth aud 2lst will renew
the heat, and result, perhaps, in thunder
storms. The 26th, 9th and 26th are the
storm days, in which a crisis of high
temperature will cross the country, at
tended by transforms and followed by
cooler temperature.

DIED.

At Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday, July
10, 1891, Dr. George w. Magruder, son OF
the late DR.. w. w. MagruGer, of Wood
stock, Shenandoah Co., Va, in the 57th
year of his age.
Rarely has any community been called
to mourn the unlocked for death of one
so endeared to it by the ties of affection
ate and grateful remembrances, as in this
case has betallen his friends and relations
10 his native County.
Among these he grew to manhood, ex-
hlbiting all the virtues of a consistent
walk and conversation attracting to him
self all the love, confidence and gratitude
which faithful aud eminent skill IN his
profession invariably rewards; an ardent
love for the sacred cause espoused by his
State, inducing him to enlist as Lieu
tenant in the "Muhlenburg Rifles" CON-
pany, from which he was promoted as
surgeon in the Confederate Army, serving
to the end ofthe war f; an Elder for so yeats
in the church of his ancestors (thc Presby-
terlan.) As friend. husband, parent, a
model for the imitation of all, rendered
DR.. Magruder especially dear to all who
enioyed these relationships.
In the hope of enlarging the sphere OF
professional usefulness, he was induced
to emigrate in the year 1889 to Fort Worth,
Texas. Here his superior qualities and
attainments were rapidly attracting to
him endearing friendships, but his prom
ising career was brought suddenly to a
close by apoplexy on Sunday, the 10Th
ult.
An all-wise Providence has seen best to
call him to that high reward for which He
had eminently fitted him. DR.. Magruder
married Kate b., the daughter of Col. II.
B. Powell, of Leudoun, who, with five
children survives him. Mrs. Magruder
had come on to Virginia but two weeks
previously, to visit her friends, mother
aud sisters. Not having had time to see
one of the latter, the dread summons to The
death-bed of her husband came to her at
Woodstock. and she was forced to return
alone to Forth Worth, re aching there 10
time for the funeral. X. G.
