Death of a Good Woman.

There is always a solemnity con-
nected with death under any circum-
stances, but when it removes from our
midst one so greatly beloved for her
nobility of character, intellectual gifts
and womanly virtues, as was the
subject of this notice, Mrs. Col. E.
Taylor, we find peculiar sadness in
the duty of chronicling an event
which has brought sorrow to the hearts
of 50 many friends and loved ones.
Mrs. Taylor died at her home here
Monday night last, after painful but
brief illness. The family Of Col. Tay-
lor came from Orange, Va, and had
been living here about three years.
Mrs. Taylor was most estimable
woman, and during her residence here
had greatly endeared herself to all with
whom she had acquaintance. Deceased
leaves husband and eight children,
three sons and five daughters, who are
we'll known and have the sympathy Of
a large circle of friends. She was a
member of the Episcopal church. The
remains were taken to the old home
in Orange, Va, Tuesday morning for
burial, accompanied by every member
of the family.

EIRGINIA'S FAIREST DAUGHTER.
Miss Elizabeth j. Southall Clarke
Will Represent Virginia at
BIRMINGHAM.

The following from the Richmond
Dispatch concerning a former Henderson
young lady VINO was born and reared
here, will be greatly appreciated and
read with pleasure by her many friends.
She is to represent Virginia at the re-
union of the Confederate Veterans at
Birmingham, Ala. Miss Clarke went
with her fathers family to Newport News,
about two years ago:
That chivalry which ever characterizes
the true Southerner was never more
delicately shown than in the sentiment
that prompted the selection OF the most
beautiful unmarried woman" from each
Southern State as representative at
the reunion OF Confederate Veterans at
Birmingham, Ala. This is to be meet
ing of the South, where the many fair
women will combine grace and beauty
in effectually portraying some of the
important events of the late war in the
tableaux OF the States. These are in
deed fitting tributes TO the memory of
the past and the links that bind us to
our present peace and prosperity. Eir
ginia could send no lovelier representa-
tive than the young lady chosen, Miss
Elizabeth J. Southall Clarke, ofNewport
News.
Miss Clarke is descendant OF the old
Southall family and is Il connection of
the late President Tyler, while many of
her kinfolks, who afterwards became
brilliant statesmen, were reared under
Mr.. Tyler's hospitable roof.
notwithstanding her Southern des-
cent, one would imagine, on seeing Miss
Clarke, that she was endowed with the gifts
of many nations. Her tall, statuesque
figure, golden hair, fair skin and beau
tifully moulded features are purely
Grecian. She has the lovely curved lips
and radiant smile that bespeak an Italian
origin, while her eyes-those eyes "that
shame the violet''-carry in them the
light OF glorious womanhood, and the
spirit of an Antoinette or Marie Louise.
Miss Clarke is not only a thoroughly
beautiful woman, but also a talented
one. She is fine musician, her literary
accomplishments are many, and these,
combined with her rare talent of max ing
friends everywhere, her charm OF man ner
and lovely disposition, stamp her as a
true Southern girl of whom we can say
in the language OF the blind poet:
"Oh fairest of creation! last and best
Of all Gods works! creature in whom eX-
celled
Whatever can to sight or thought be form ID
Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!'

Obituary..

At 10 o'clock a. m. on Friday the
9TH of July, 1898, the Angel of Death
entered the house OF our estimable
friend and neighbor, DR.. B. 2. Aston,
near Epson, n. c., and claimed the
idol of the family, darling boy about
$ months old. Little Tom Nick had
been sick for more than a month. and
after Having all the medical attention
of the skilled father, and careful nurs-
ing of the devoted mother, he still
grew worse, until our Heavenly Father
called him to the realms of everlasting
rest. Safe in the arms of our blessed
Savior little Tom Nick is forever freed
from all pain, sickness and sorrow; and
though his death is deeply felt by par
ents, brothers, sisters and friends, we
all may, in this hour of sad bereave-
ment, recognize and acknowledge the
hand of our almighty One, and bow
submissively to the will of Him who
said "Su!fer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven.''

The Real Cause.

Every summer after the harvesting
of the hay and grain crops we hear Of
fires, the origin of which, being I'M
known, is ascribed to incendiarism,
though doubtless in many cases if the
real cause could be ascertained it
would be found that they were the
result Of spontaneous combustion-ow-
ing to hay or other new crops while in
process of fermentation evolving heat
sufficient to produce fire. If farmers
wish to prevent their hay stacks or
barns from firing they need only scatter
a few handfuls Of common salt between
the layers. The theoryis that the salt
by absorbing the humidity of, the hay
not only prevents its fermentation, and
consequently heating, but it also adds
a salty taste to this forage which all
cattle like, and besides, it stimulates
the appetite and assists their digestion
and so preserves them from many
diseases.
