1r,a, Off. B. Guard Postponed.

On last Wednesday, the grandjury of the
CORPORATION Court of Charlottesville, indicted
R. B. Guard for felony for the shooting of
Miss Laura E. Martin on the 18th of last
April, in a passenger coach at the Union Sta
ton at Charlottesville, an account of which
we published at the time of the sad occur
renee. Owing to the absence of material wit
nesses, his trial was postponed till Tuesday
the 18th of September.
The Charlottesville Progress says
1.-The line of defense will probably be in
sanity, and it may be that the question OF the
prisoners sanity will be heard first. In the
event that he is found to be insane, as mat
ter of course, the felony case will not be
heard.
AS before published in the Progress. Miss
Martins recollection of the shooting in very
indistinct; but recently she has improved a
great deal.
One curious circumstance in reference to
the Young lady is that before she was shot she
had yery little knowledge of music, but that
since she has been at home her talent in this
direction has wonderfully improved; and 1t is
now said that she can perform excellently on
the piano. 1t is also said that while she was
i'll at Hotel Carter in this city she heard a
brass band play tune in passing the hotel,
and since her return home she has frequently
PLAYED the same tune accurately on the piano,
although never having heard it but once. Her
intimate friends and relatives have frequent
ly to be introduced to her, her remembrance
of them having faded. Her eyesight, we
learn, is apparently unaffected"

Election of Female Physician.

At the annual meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Western State Hospital last
Wednesday, July 18th, Miss Chertsey Hop
kins, NJ. D., daughter of DR.. B. A. Hopkins of
Warm Springs Bath county, Va, was elected
Assistant Physician of that Institution, to
supply the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Dr. Callie Haynes, who, shortly after
her resignation, was married to Prof. John H.
Bader, Superintendent of the Public Schools
of Staunton. The testimonials of Miss Hop
kins are of satisfactory character, both pro-
fessional and personal. She is a graduate of
HolIins Institute of this State, and of the Wo-
mans Medical College at Philadelphia.
The following resolution offered by Captain
C. Benton Coiner was unanimously adopted:
''WHEREAs, Dr. Callie Haynes, the female
member of the medical staff of the Western
State Hospital, has severed her connection
with said hospital by resignation, therefore:
Resolyed, That We the Board of Directors of
the Western State Hospital, hereby express
our appreciation of, and thanks to DR.. Haynes
for the faithful, patient able and conscien-
tious discharge of her duties as medical off
Ger of this Hospital, and that her services for
three years among the female patients have
been very beneficial to them and gratifying

In the Senate Monday discussion on
the tariff conference report was re-
sumed and Mr. German made speech
defending the compromise tariff bill,
during which he charged that both
President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle were not only aware of the
concessions made in the bill to procure
its passage through the Senate, but
that Mr.. Carlisle had been consulted
at every step, and that Mr.. Cleveland
had sanctioned all that was done.
Messrs. Vest, Jones and Villas were
called upon as witnesses to the truth
of the statements Mr.. German made
concerning the knowledge President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle had
of the compromise tariff bill, and each
of these Senators related his own
story.
Mr.. White, of California, advised the
democrats to stand together for the
Senate bill.

Olt of a Job.

In these hard times when man has
job he had better stick to it.
Every wage. Garner has somebody de-
pendent upon him-a father or mother,
or wife or children. If he is without
these he still has to feed and clothe
himself All this requires money, and
many toilers have no income beyond
their wages.
Men cannot throw up their jobs these
days and expect the generous support
of sympathetic public. Landlords,
butchers and grocers want cash and
the man out of job is no favorite with
them.
But some impatient worker will com
plain that his wages are too low. That
is unfortunate, but will he improve his
condition by going without any wages
at all Hard times hurt employers as
well as the employed. Sometimes
wages are cut in order to keep men at
work and avoid the shutting down of
a great industry. The sensible thing
to do is to make the best of it until
times improve.
We have heard of so much suffering
among men out of work with half
starved families that we are astounded
at the folly of Others who are willing
W give up Ul0lI JUS teuu Iloh IHO OolI
sequences. Such conduct is utter mad
ness. For every man who steps out of
a job twenty stand ready to take his
place. Let DO man in any position de-
Jude himself with the idea that he is
indispensable. There is no such thing
as an indispensable man. Thousands
of the brightest, most Industrious and
capable men that ever walked the
earth are now out of employment or
doing odd Jobs until they can secure
the work they are best fitted for.
If any man thinks that it is a big
thing to show his independence by Civ
ing up his job when there is no other
in sight he should first find out what
his wife and children really think about
it. 1t is pitiful sight to see every
thing in little cottage sold to buy
food for the wife and children of the
man who is out of a job. 1t is harder
still when the landlord drives then
out.
| Stick to your job, and, if any ONT
tells you to quit it
| Don't !-AtlaatG Constitution.

The Future of the South.

Within the last decade a wonderful
change has taken place. The South
has demonstrated to the world that she
has advantages far more numerous
than has the Northwest. She can pro-
duce a greater variety of crops than any
other region of the United States, and
her climate is so mild that out door
work is possible almost the entire year.
Not only does the South possess great
attractions for the agriculturist, but
her hills and mountains, teaming with
coal and iron, hold out equal attrac-
tions to the capitalist and artisan. 1t
has been proven that Alabama can
produce iron much cheaper than
Pennsylvania. Manufactures, especial
ly of cotton, have made gigantic strides,
and in the coarser fabrics the South is
now taking the lead.
The time is rapidly approaching
when people, weary of the billiards
and cyclones of the West, will eagerly
seek homes in the sunny South. To
the capitalist all conditions for safe
and profitable investment here exist.
The South has always been free from
communism and strikes, which Greats
so much uneasiness in the minds OF
capitalists. Her people are conserva
tive and law-abiding, and we confident
ly predict that the time is not far dis
tant when the great movement of pop
ulation will be Southwark.
Now is the time, it seems to us, fol
active, vigorous, well concerted efforts
on the part of all boards, societies and
associations interested in the develop
ment of the South. If our people viii
but seize the opportunity we feel sure
rich harvest will reward their efforts
