Tribute of Respect.

Died in Woodstock. Va, July 18th,
1894, Mrs Jane Z. French, in the 4lst year
of her age.
The subject of this notice was a woman
of lovely character, and was highly es
teemed by all who knew her.
She exemphfed 10 her life the fruit of
the Spirit, love, JOY, peace, gentlenessr
goodness, faith aud meekness. Sac was
received into COY enant relation with the
church, in her Infancy, by holy Baptism.
After a due course Of instruction in the
catechism she was received into full COM
uunion with the church by confirmation.
1t was her only comfort in life aud
death that she belonged unto her faithful
Saviour Jesus Christ and she endangered
to live an honest, pure and holy life, and
thus glorify Him to whom she belonged.
She was a devoted wife, kind and
thoughtful mother. Her surroundiH rs
were such as to make one long for con-
tinuation of life here, but she was per-
fectly resigned to Gods will, whether that
was her restoration TO health or her trans
latIon to the spirit world.
She leaves to mourn her loss a loving
husband, two sons and two daughters
bright and lovely children, the eldest oil
which is but years old. The funeral
services were held July the 18th and in
the absence OF her pastor, Rev. n. II.
Styles, were conducted by Rev. A. p.
Bouman. in the presence of large con-
course of sympathiziDg friends and neigt
bOr@.
Her mortal remains were buried in the
Woodstock cemetery, where they now
peacefully sleep in the hope of glorious
resurrection in the last great day.
~ am the resurrection and the life saith
the Lord; he that belIeveth In Me, though
be ere dead, yet shall he live" S.

DEATH OF DIR. A. MARTIN

When DR.. Albion Martin died on Sun
day morning, at his residence in this
place, one of the best and truest men Of
our county went to the Spirit Land to
receive the reward of a we'll spent and
honorable life. The death of man after
be has travelled oyer the many miles of a
life path of seventy-two years along
which not one evil deed OF wrong I'M
pulse has left an impress, is indeed a
public calamity, and one that must cause
feeling of regret in every breast. A
more kindly heart, a more truthful spirit,
a more humble Christian than the one
who has just passed away in the fullness
of his allotted time it would be hard to
find.
Endowed by nature with strong and
vigorous mind which be carefully cult
waited and improved by years of judiclous
reading and profound study DR.. Martin
was one of the most companionable and
pleasant of men. Born In the far north
en- state of Maine he was one Of the truest
friends of the South, and he loved his
adopted mother state with the strongest
devotion, and when the call to arms was
sounded he responded among the first.

efficiency that the close of the war found

division with the rank of captain.
DR.. Martin was one among the fret
graduates of the first dental college IN
America located in Baltimore. After
graduating.he located in Shenandoah in
1s4s, practicing his profession most sue
cessfnlly and extensively in this and the
surrounding counties.
After the war he engaged IN farming a
few miles west of Woodstock, always adj

stock, and the cultivation of the best
varieties of fruits.

moved TO Woodstock and resumed the
practice of his profession until he was
stricken down with paralysis over three
years ago, which left him a helpless in

Koontz, a prominent citizen and business

his only child, Mr. r. II. Martin, of the
Stanton Daily News, one OF the brighes
newspaper writers CT Virginia. His
funeral took place on Monday Afternoon
at o'clock, and was conducted by hi
pastor, DIR. Stephenson, OF tho Presby
terian church, of which congregation h
had been an official member for many
years. The interment was in the new
cemetery in the presence Of many who
turued from the grave with saddene'
hearts an they realized that the eartl

On several nights of last week some OF
the thieves who have been scourging this
unhappy section in way to show their
utter contempt for the law and its OficerF,
visited Mr.. Daniel o. Bowman, on the

dred chickens, leaving number of the
heads scattered around the chicken house.
As we have repeatedly said nothing viii

that has so long run riot in our com

one wait for any process Of law TO pro-
tect their property. These rascals will
steal the court house and Jail while the
courts and lawyers are waiting to see
whether an indictment, under the fool
laws of Virginia, purpOsely made so,
which failed TO state, among the rest OF
its idiotic jargon, whether the thiefpulled
the chicken off the roost with his left

DIED.

AGAIN death, hdeous death with his
swift relentless tread has come stealthily
into our midst and sheathed his dead Y
sword IN a bright and shining mark.
Again the white winged angel has been
among us and claimed as his own one OF
our brightest and most precious jewels.
Mrs. Lizzie |. Irwin, the subject of this
notice, departed this life wednesday,
Aug. -, 1894, at the residence of her
husband, Mr.. Ira Irwin, near st. Luke,
Shenandoah county, in the 22ad year of
her age. Up to a few days before her
death she was in splendid health aad her
span of life promised to be long and
happy one. Hence 1t is that this blow is
doubly crushing one to her bereayed
husband and parents. Mrs. IRWIN had
only been married about a year and with
her DEVOTED husband had just launched out
into life's fitfll struggle with every pros
pect of peaceful and happy journey.
She was the favorlte daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. II. II. Gocbenour, of near Alon
zaville, Shenandoah county, upon whom
this sudden blow falls with crushing
force. As a child aud daughter she was
sweet. kind. affeetlonate, Obedient and
docile as a lamb. As wife she was at
fectonate, loving and dutiful striving
always to learn her duty and performing
it with that sweet retiring modesty for
which she was noted.
Truly the ways of Providence are past
fading out. That "death loves a shining
maIkD is well illustrated in the demise OF
Mrs. Irwin. But while we mourn, we
would not linger around the grave, but
true to the great truths Of lite and in
SEPARATION, we would mourn not as those
who have no hope, but look forward to q
blessed reunion on the final resurrection
morn
Her funeral services we're conducted on
Friday, Aug. oath by Rev. II. L. Coe, OF
the Methodist +. Church, South, after
which her remains we're laid to rest in the
beautiful church yard at Fairview amid
an immense conoourse Of sorrowing rela'
tiyes and friends May He who temperI
the wind 70 the shorn lamb comfort th'
bleeding hearts Of her grief stricken hus
band and parents in this dark hour o
their sad affection.
.'Forbear, dear husband, father and
mother to weep,
While quietly In the dust Sleep
And when you come my grave 70 see,
Prepare yourselves to follow me.
Prenare in time make no delay,
For 1 was quickly called away"

The match game of base ball that came
off on the Fair Grounds here on Friday
afternoon, of last week, between the
Harrisouburg club and the Woodstock
nine, proved to be an exciting and inter
esting game to a good sized audience
The HarrsOnburg club played a good
game but it soon appeared that they
were not in it, the game closing with
score of % to 9 in favor of the Woodstock
club. One feature of the game should be
remembered, and that Is, owing to
sickness or disability among the Wood
stock players. young Harry Styles, a
light player, and one of the regular
pitchers of the little kid" club, went
into the box and pitched a fine game. The
umpire was B. B. Lewis, of Harrisonburg
who was quick, prompt and perfectly
impartial.

Cotton is the principal crop, although

| noticed in your paper that water
melons were Just coming into market.
The melon season is over here for this
year. 1t was not quite so large as last
year on account of the strikes Oh so many
railroads. Last year our road hauled
about 100 car loads of melons. They
we're shipped from southwest Georgia AMI
southeast Alabama, to every principal
city in the L. S., and Canada, going as
far north as Quebec, and south as New
Orleans, and west to Minneapolis, MINI.
The price for melons was better this year
than any preceding one.
We are enjoying the hot season now,
although there has been plenty of rain
and the nights are very pleasant. On the
night of the 18th nine car loads of bananas
passed through here. | suppose solid
trains of pine apples or bananas and
melons would be quite a curiosity to
some OF the Woodstock people. Last
season as many as eight trains Of melons
passed here in one day.
