FOR HARMoNy,s SAKE.

Some time since when the papers
OF this Congressional District were
giving favorable mention of cur
own N. j. Fortney as % very able
and probable man for the Rcpubli-
cans of this district to name as
their next candidate for Congress,
1T was a noticeable fact that his own
party paper bad nothing at all to
say OH the subject. While we do
not believe that Mr.. Fortney in the
least asplres to that high place that
he would fill with dignity and
honor, yet it certainly would have
looked better, and his friends would
have felt better, had this been done.
Neil Is an able and popular attor-
ncy and named as the standard

FAIRFAx--Died. Mt her home
near Reedsville, on Saturday, No
vember 4th. 1893, about $50 z. M,
after an illness OF four months,
Helen Belle Fairfax, daughter OF
Mrs. Emily Fairfax and the late
Franklin b. +. Fairfax.
She had been sick since the 4th
of July with fever, and nothing
but her strong constitution and
careful nurslng kept her alive so
long, as she gradually grew weaker
and weaker till she finaIly sank into .
deep sleep and crossed over without
struggle. Death came so quietly
and peacefully that his visit was
hardly observed by the watchers.
The funeral services took place
Monday afternoon at ReedsviIIe. A
large crowd of friends and relatives
gathered at the house and followed
the remains to their last resting
place. Many others had gathered
at the church. which was crowded.
Rev. Skidmore, OF Masontown, con
Quoted the services and paid high
tribute to the memory OF the de-
parted, after which the body was
cansigned to Mother Earth in the
beautiful cemetery near the church.
The deceased was born June l2,
1856, and was therefore in her 3Sth
year. She joined the Nj. K. Church
about fourteen years ago and died
consistent Christian. She was
the strongest and healthiest member
OF the family, and it is truly SAID
that "Death loves a shining mark !"
Throughout the whole of her lin
gering illness she bore herself with
patience and forbearance worthy of
emulation. One of her absent els
tets, Mrs. Julia Bayles, of Inde-
pendence, reached her bedside
about half hour before the end;
another, Mrs. BERTHE Ralphsnyder,
OF Georgetown, MoDongalia county.
did not arrive till next day; another
sister, Mrs. Rebecca Hall, is very
i'll with typhoid fever at Camden,
=
Indiana, and will not know of her
sisters death till she RECEIVERS her
self, (if she docs), as her physician
gave orders to keep the news from
her.
Several friends and relatives from
here attended the funeral Mrs.
Harriet Morgan and daughter May,
Miss Sallio Fairfax, Mrs. r. w.
Monroe, j. Slidell Brown, Mr. and
Mrs. w. f. Mancar, and Mr.. and
Mrs. |. p. Martin and son.

brethren OF the opposite political
faith are sincere in their professions
OF friendship and good will for the
farmers and laboringmcn they will
not hesitate to raise their voice in
protest and point out where such
evils exist and ask that they be
corrected.
1t is an axiom as true as Holy
Writ that "Charity begins at
home," and such being the case we
should leave nothing undone that
will lessen the burdens OF the poor.
We all seem to be unit az to hard
tines" but widely differ as to the
course which led to the present state
OF affairs. 1t is not the purpose of
the Angus to discuss the cause at
this time, but to point out the ne
cessity Of economy III public oxpen-
ditures. Some one has truly said :,
ECONOMY is wealth." If economy
is wealth, then, Extravaganza must
be bankruptcy. This being self
evident fact the ARGUS would like
to call the attention Of the CouHty
Court to the necessity of economy
in making its appropriations. The
ARGUS is broad and liberal minded
enough to believe the Court is not
entirely responsible for the many
sins perpetrated in the name OF
Progressiyeness and Justice. 1t
would be we'll for us oil to remem-
Der to "Forbear to judge, for we
are sinners ALL" All men are guilty
OF an Unborn desire to get all the
wealth they can. and many repre-
sentations are made to the Court
for an allowance for this thing and
that, which, on the face of it, as
represented, looks as a just claim.
But the Court should use its dis
cretionary power in such matters.
1t should always take as its guiding
star the financial condition of the
county. II it does this it can
scarcely go wrong. The present
County Court cannot plead igno-
rance of the financial condition of
the county today.
Gentlemen of The County Court,
the eyes of the people are upon you.
The people, in their private affairs,
are compelled to exercise the great
est economy. They shall expect
and exact tho same Of you in public
affairs. Do not betray them.
