Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing which
appeals to the hearts of all who read his poems
more than the lyric of "Too Late" The burden
Of the sad refrain comes home with telling force
to the hearts of those who have lost friends by
that dread disease-consumptiop. They realize,
"too late" the result of neglect They feel that
the dear one might have been saved If they had
needed the warning Of the hacking cough, the
pallid cheek, and weakening system. They feel
this all the more keenly because they see others
being rescued from the grasp of the destroyer.
and they think what is saving others might have
saved their loved one. When the first sigual of
danger is seen, take steps to avert the catastro-
phe. Be wise In time. DIR. Pierce's Golden

HIS BROTHER WHILE HUNTING.
The Load Intsnded for Flock of Par
tr,d gss-- Onancsck's Need ofs
Cemsiery.

rrorrespondsnco Of the Richmond Dispatch.
OsAxcocx, October 2e.--Dr. Edward
T. Mason, popular young physician
OF Accomac, was accidently shot last
Saturday by his younger brother while
hunting near Pungoteague in the lower
part OF this county. DR.. Mason was at
the time concealed from his brother by
high weeds, and the load OF bird-shot
that was intended for flock OF par
tridqes took effect in one OF the Doctors
legs. At first his injuries werc thought
20 be very serious, as some OF the shot
lodged in the abdomen, but subsequent
investigation proved that none OF the
wounds are necessarily dangerous The
attending surgeons picked out about
forty shot from DR.. Mason's leg.
cEMETKRY NEEDED.
Several days ago the town council OF
Onancock passed an ordinance pro-
bibitine any more burials within the
corporate limits Of the town. This will
compel action on the part of the people
of the town towards providing a public
cemetery, which has long been needed
here. and accordingly a mass-meeting
will be held next Thursday to inaugu-
rate such movement.
A VENERABLE CITIZEN GONE.
The death is reported OF Mr.. George
Bowdoin Mapp at his home near Wacha-
preague. on the sea side, in the
seventy ninth year OF his age. He was
the father OF DR.. John e. Mapp, county
superintendent OF public schools in Ac.
comac, and was genial, high-toned old
Virginia gentleman. In spite OF his ad-
yanced years, he was up to short time
before his death q wonderfully vigorous
and active man. For more than fifty
wears he had been a loyal and consistent
member of the Southern Methodist
Church. His aged wife and four chill
dren survive him.
NO OPPOSITION.
Accomac County Court began its o.
tober term to-day. The crowd ct the
court house WAS small, and no interest
was manifested in the political contest
As yet the Democratic nominees for the
General Assembly on the Eastern Shore
have no opposition, and it is not likely
they will nave any on election-day.
The weather is clear and pleasant-an
ideal Indian summer.
