NEW MARKET NEWS.

DEAR HERALD We find death in
news this week, and if we are not up to
our previous standard in this respect, ex-
cuse us.
DId YOU hear tn 1t the Colonel received
upwards of HOO votes on the first ballot
1t IS at present o 'Ferrall and Cooke, and
it seems that the latter named onght to
run well, as boss Billy the kid" says, the
republicans shall have no candidate for
gubernatOrial honors. What the prohib:-
tionists Will do remains to be seen.
We have only ole word to say in regard
to the ball game played here on Friday
last, and that is, that the Woodstoc k
club beat our boys out of their boots. and
they can beat any club in Virginia with
the same umpire.
The Baptist Association has had its
meet, and is numbered among the things
that have been. The weather was all
that could have been desired, and the at
tendance was unexceptionably good We
don't think We exaggerate when We say
that there were at least one thousand
persons in attendance on Sunday. The
hospitality of all the churches was extend
ed to the ASSOCIATION, but only the Metho-
dist and st. Matthew's were used. Eye
one came prepared to feed the large num-
Der, and it is said that all were bount-
fully supplied. The hospitality of our
citizens was generally extended, and the
officers of the association cordially re-
turned thanks. May they come again is
our wish.
We mentioned IN these dispatches Of
last week, The serious illness of Mr.. Saml.
F. Tldler. We very much regret to an
nounce his death, which occurred at 9'35
a. M, Saturday last His funeral took
place at 2 80 p. M, Sunday, in the pres
ence of one of the largest cOncourse of
sympathiz NC relatives and friends, that
we have seen gathered together on this
sad occasion, since the present church, st.
Mathews Lutheran, has been erected.
The large gathering was a proof of the
esteem in which he was held by all those
who knew him. He died in the 37th year
of his age. He was faithful member OF
st. Mathews Lutheran Sunday School,
and it can be truthtully said that be
never missed meeting of the school, ex.
cept from unavoidable causes. lie died
as he lived, good boy, and undoubtedly
will reap a rich reward. Rev. j. A.
Snyder, conducted the funeral services.
Peace to his ashes. The sympathies of
the entire community is with the bereav-
ed.
Mr.. Isaac Bowman, Berryyille, Va, ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon. This was
bis FIRST visit tie our town in % years. He
is an old Confederate veteran, and was a
member of Rices battery. He was badly
wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg,
Dec. 18th, 1862. His many friends were
glad to see him.
Improvement continues to go ahead
regardless OF the stlingency in the money
market. Mr.. r L. Hoffman, Is having
glass front put in one of his buildings
IL which he will open a grocery as soon
as completed. He also intends adding
another story to the old Central Hotel
building, and also intends erecting
double porch to the front, this will be
quite an improvement. His largely in
creased business requires the above in
provements being made. Bob" is a 60
ahead boy, and above all other things, is
polite, accommodating qaick and de-
serves the trade
We are needing rain badly.
