plunging and finally succeeded in throwing

on to church; but On returning home found

this visit of our genial County Treasurer
might mean-and we desire to say right
here. that DR.. Finley has just gotten well
settled among our people who have learned
to love him-who thoroughly appreciate
him as a man and as pastor. His large

Y. NC A. Notes.

Last Sundays mems meeting was well
attended and some interesting talks made
on the subject Whom, How and When
should we serve" The same plan of APP
pointing several speakers to assist the lead
Ell will be followed again next Sunday. This
does not prevent others who wish to take
part from dong so and insures an interest
ing meeting. These meetings have been
made interesting in the past, as is evidenc-
ed by the large attendance, an average Of
about 100.
The Divide Musin Concert last Friday
night had large audience, who thoroughly
enjoyed the entertainment. All of the MEM
bers OF this company proved themselves
artists. AS it was an expensive company
the net receipts were only about $40. The
principal object of the committee in charge
of the association Star Course, however,
is to provide series of refined and enjoy
able entertainments. Judging from the
reception accorded the Lotus Glee Club
and the Divide Musin Concert Company,
the course will certainly be asuccess in this
respect.
The next entertainment of the series will
be an ILLUSTRATED Lecture by MI. Wilbur
L. Davidson, Monday, January 9th. Mr..
Davidson has lectured in nearly every State
of the Union. He has lectured at more
Chautauqua assemblies during the past
season than any other lecturer on the Anne
rican platform. He uses one of the best
and most expensive double stereopticons,
containing all the lat est improvements for
securing strong light and producing superb
dissolving effects. His lectures are prln-
cipally on travel The subject will be an
nounced later.

World s Far Notes.

Leading citizens of Rockingham county
are taking much interest in the approach
ing Worlds Fair. On Thursday there was
d meeting in Harrlsonburg to consider the
matter. The Free Press says 1.-THE meet
ing fully recognized the value to Rocking
ham county OF an exhibit Of her mineral
and agricultural riches and upon motion of
Mrs. A. E. Hinneberger a committee was
appointed to consider and press the claims
Of this object. The committee, consisting
Of DR.. S. X. Cox, Mrs. A. E. Hinneberger,
D. M. Switzer. Judge G. G.. Grattan, Mrs.
Judge Paul, J. G. Staples and j. 2. Houck,
asks the interests and cooperation Of every
citizen of Rockingham in it's efforts" Our
neighbors are wise, to see that the rare ag
rcultural and mineral resources OF their
large and wealthy county are brought to the
attention of the world as it will be gathered
at Chicago next year. They will thus
surely attract capital and enterprise to their
county.
At a recent meeting of the State Board
of World s Fair Managers at Richmond, a
most gratifying statement was read. 1t
shows that while great deal has been done
and considerable money paid out, yet the
board has more money in its treasury than
when the State appropriation of $4,000
was first turned over to it. Funds raised
by concerts, donations, county appropria-
lions, etc., have more than met current ex-
penses of the board, SO that the balance of
resources unexpended is $s25, 250.4 which
is $25O43 more than the total State ap-
preparation.

In the opinion of the Neac fork Tn
Jane sit is the duty of all good citizens
to obey the law but it seems to think
that Governors should not yield toany
such weakness. In a criticism of Gov
ernor Pattison's course Mt Homestead
it says He may be well advised as
to his duty in this regard, and perhaps
has some justification for his course in
the limitations placed upon him by
the law This is very kind. Blood.
shed might have been avoided, argues
the Tribune, ''if the Governor, in the
exercise of wise discretion. instead
Of waiting for, actual violence ant
bloodshed, had taken the responsible
ty Of maintaining peace and prevent
ing riot and murder by a REASONABLE,
display Of military force. In othe
words, if the Governor had substituted
his own discretion for the laws o
the Commonwealth, which he has sworl
to uphold, his lawless and usurpinl
act would have been eminently proper
This may be good doctrine for Til
Tribune, but it is scarcely eonsisten
with any accepted theory Of free gov
ernment.
