Mai, JAS. w, Newton.

The Daily Conference Register, published by
the Rockingham Register during the session of
the Baltimore Conference NJ. E. Church South
in Harrisonburg, in its issue of March 25th,
gives the following sketch of our fellow-citizen,
Maj. Jas. W. Newton
Treasurer Board Church Extension Balti-
more Annual Conference; was born in Green
VILE Augusta county, Va.
Before the war he conducted a dry goods
store il. his native town. In May, 1860 he was
elected captain of the Augusta Greys a mill
tary company organized during the excitement
caused by the John Brown raid
April II, 1861, Governor Letcher ordered
Capt. Newton to Harper's Ferry with his COM
pany. On the morning of the 10Th of April,
1861, the company arrived there, and was as
signed to the 9Th Regiment of Virginia Infan-
try, First Brigade, commanded by Gen'l T. j.
Jackson. This brigade won the name of
.Stonewall' at the first battle of Manassas
A short time after the second battle of Bull
Run" Capt Newton was promoted to Major
of the 9TH Virginia Infantry, and participated
with that regiment in more than a score of
battles and many skirmishes; was in command
of the regiment at the battle of Winchester,
Sept. 18th, 1864 In this engagement he won
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, but owing to
a wound received that day which permanent
ly disabled him, he never applied for his COM

tai, but after the amputation of his left limb
he recovered.
At the close of the war he movedSto Staun-
ton, Va, and for many years conducted large
mercantile establishment in that city. In 1867
he joined the NJ. E. Church South. In 1874

Death of a Good Man.

Mr.. A. ]. o. Bader, after a protracted illness
of several months passed peacefully away at
his residence in McGaheysville Rockingham
county, about s o'clock last Saturday morn
ing, March 25th, in the S0th year of his age
He was eminently a good man in the fullest
sense of the term, and was faithful and tender
in all the relations of life, and enjoyed to the
fullest degree the esteem and affection of all
who knew him. Strictly honest men are few,
but he was one, as all his acts clearly testified
and to this great virtue was added others that
made his character model one. His friends
were many, his enemies none. He leaves
widow who was devoted wife and mother,
with whom he had lived happily and harmo-
niously for the long period of ifty-seven
years, upon whom the separation falls with
crushing weight and four filial chrildren-
three sons and one daughter-Messrs VIM. R.,
Arthur, John H., and Miss Maggie Bader.
The burial took place on Sunday in the
cemetery in McGaheysville and was attended
by a very large number of persons The fu-
neral services were performed by Rev F. A
Srother of the NJ E. Church South, an old
friend, who had, when on that circuit some
years since, preached the funeral of one of
his sons, in the absence Of the minister of the
church to which he and his family belonged.
Prof. John H. Bader Principal of the High
School of this City, received a telegram on
Friday apprising him of his fathers extreme
illness, whereupon he left Immediately and
| arrived in time to see his father before his
death, who was still able to recognize him.

gentlemen, and boys-who were surprised at
the feats of strength and agility performed.
The tImbling, and the feats on the bars and
the Roman ladders were all SUCCESSFULLY per-
formed, and many of them were quite Won
derful. The performance is about as good as
that of an ordinary circus with the advantage
to the grown spectators that there is no neces-
sity to give as an excuse for attending, that
you only went to crafty the little children -
The audience were pleased to hear the an
nouncement made by Mr.. McIlhany that the
next exhibition will be given i'll the Opera.

kindly consented to assist on that occasion

MIDDLEB BROOK.

We are very sorry to announce the illness of
Mr. Arch Armstrong, of Dutch Hollow
neighhorhood. He is critically i'll of consump-
ton, and it is only matter of little time
when he will be taken away from his wife and
little children. His wife is a sister of Mr.. VIM.
Brubeck, who clerked for c. A Gladke for
some years. Both were reared in and near
this village, their father being killed during
the late war. Mr.. Armstrong is good, hon
| est man, and his illness is source of profound
regret to his many friends.
There has been some rough weather and bad
roads.

ed No. is 537. He is a marvel of beauty and
perfection. MIR. Clemmer is progressive man
from the word ''go and believes in and won't
have anything but the finest to be had. Such
men are of great value to any country, for
somebody realizes benefits by their being citi-
zens. A greedy, grasping man who lives en-
tirely for self will never invest 100000 in
horse, as Mr. c. has done. He has 2 fine thor
oughbred imported French Coach horses cost
ing something over 81 900 for the pair. Then
he has very fine first premium heavy draft

docility. He has thoroughbred Berk shire and
other swine. He has fine "short- horn cattle.
He also has started lately very fine kennel
of imported Scotch Collie shepherd dogs. They
are exceptionally sensible fellows and very
fine stock. He has fine farm, and has christ
ened it "Sunnyside stock farm" Mr.. c. has
just emerged from a winters illness of rheu-
matsm. At one time his life was despaired
of; but he got out and is now giving his inter
ests his personal attention. Such man ought
to be encouraged and successful, because there
are SO very few of them in the country. If
fine stock pays for the rearing and it surely
does, why not then engage more in it, and do
less grubbing in the ground But it is risking
something, and there is the rub" 1t pays in
other states; why not here? We need to spur
up. We are too far behind other states young
er than ours. When you see a man who
knows it all, and who says, no money in any
thing but farmin,; and who tries to put him
ORANGES in the way of every progressive man
in his vicinity yor will find man generally
who is in debt more than he is worth and
| who borrows all the money he can get and
| never has anything then. The country is full
of them. We are glad; yes, rejoiced to see
such men as R. A. Clemmer and John P.
Smiley investing their hard earnings in fine
stock for the betterment of the country. They
are jewels to the neighborhood Wish we had
more of them. There is plenty of room for
more. They should be encouraged, and that

The Highland Recorder,

The last Highland Recorder announces that
f. B. Sieg, one of the editors and proprietors,
has sold his interest in that paper to his tor
mer partner, w. H. Matheny, who will con-
tinue to conduct it, he says, on the same
platform as heretofore and that it will be
his purpose to make it a good live country
newspaper, in which the interests of our gal
liant little county of Highland shall be prom
inent feature, hoping to be sustained in the
enterprise by generous public"
The Recorder is good county paper, one of
our most welcome exchanges, and deserves,
and, we hope, it will receive generous pat
ronage.
A good paper is one of the most valuable
whilst it is one of the cheapest, things coun-
ty can possess, but it cannot live and render
the service it should unless it be well sustain
ed, for to publish good paper requires money
and good deal of it. Men who are remiss in
supporting their home papers, act unwisely
and are blind to their own interests-pecunia-
ry, as well as intellectual and social news
paper is the best index of the character of the
people of the community in which it is pub
lished.
