1t will be observed by an official notifca-
ton in this issue that on Friday next, jan
uary 18th, the anniversary of the birth of
Gen. R. E. Lee will be appropriately COM
memorated, and ii is hoped that there will be
a large attendance of the citizens of the city
and county. By action Of the Legislature,
that day is made State holiday and our PEG
pie should not fail to observe it as SUCH If the
anniversary of the birth of any man deserves
to be celebrated that man is Gen. R. E. Lee
one OF the greatest and best that has even
lived-a model soldier, citizen, and Christian
Virginians, especially, should not fail to dc
honor to his memory.

To preserve youthful appearance as long
as possible, it is indispensable that the hair
should retain its natural color and fullness.-
There is no preparation so effective as Ayers
Hair Vigor. 1t prevents badness, and keeps

To Aid the City mission.

For the benefit of the City Mission, the play
entitled THE Senator's Wife" will be pro-
duced in the Opera-House on the End of
February, which should fill the house, as it is
in behalf of such good cause-one that APP
peals to the feelings of every Kind and gener-
Gus heart. "One half of the world doesn
know how the other half lives-an old adage,
but nevertheless true. The same can be said
of Staunton. If some of our good people
would accompany committee of these ladies
on their rounds and see the suffering that
goes on within this town their hearts would
certainly be melted at the sight. Picture to
yourself dear reader a scene like this

A Citizen Killed.

On Tuesday of last week, Mr.. DERRICK Miller,
good citizen who lived near Stribling Springs
was killed whilst hauling lumber to build a
new barn. 1t is not known how it occurred.
He was found dead by two of his sons who
came after him with another wagon loaded
with lumber.
The surmise is, that whilst going down a
steep and rough mountain road he was, by
some cause, thrown off and the wheels of the
wagon passed over his body. 1t is a sad oc-
currence, and was great shock to his sons
when they found their father dead on the
road. The team he was driving, was standing
near by.

Death Of Mrs. Alice Hawes Shirley

Death of Mrs. Alice HaWeS Shirley.
The intelligence Of the death of Mrs. Alice
Halves Shirley, wife of Mr.. R. NJ. Shirley at
Coopers w. Va, Monday, was received with
surprise and pain by her friends and the
friends of her fathers family at this place.
She had been i'll but short time, and her
death was therefore unexpected. The cause
of her death is stated to have been hemor-
rhage of the heart.
Her remains were carried to Bluefeld, the
home of her parents, where they were laid to
rest in the Citizens cemetery on Tuesday.
The services were held at the Presbyterian
church, and were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Burkhardt, of the Episcopal church, in the
absence of the pastor, Mr.. Duckwall, on ac-
count of illness.
Mrs. Shirley was the daughter of Rev. H. H.
Halves, of Blueield. and the many friends of
the family in Farmville, Staunton and else
where, where they are well known, will learn
with sorrow of her death. 1t has been less
than three months since she was welded to
Mr.. Shireg, and the sorrow of the young hus-
band but adds to the sadness of her death.
We extend to DR.. Halves and other relatives
of the deceased our sincere coincidence in the
hour of their bereavement and SORROW

Of all the ages are to its credit, yet it

Are scientists generally agreed that
the race has a higher duty to its nose

That very subject is agitating, in some
form or other, scientific circles all over
the civilized world. Evolution is respon-
sible for the intense longing which man
now feels to satisfy those higher instincts
or impulses of his nature. Every decade
now counted with the past has lent its
influence to this end. Thus it is that

rising generation will undoubtedly swoon
away If assailed malodoriously. Nay, it
will be possible to wage war along these
lines and to repel an invading army with
an assault of vile smells. Thus will the
great ornaments of today become useless.
The art of scent will result in the rise of
great composers of olfactory sympho-
MES, whose genius will evolve compost
tons Of combined perfumes. Very few
know that there is a scale or gamut of
smells precisely as there is a scale or
gamut of music"
Mr.. Moore here led the way to his
conservatory of smells, which so far as
the olfactory nerves are concerned, is
as wonderful if more rare than any con-
servatory of music. His experiments have
been so successful that he can turn on
and off scale after scale of perfumes
and even play a concert in them. One
of his most wonderful effects is the his
tory of Rome related in series OF
smells. 1t is, as every student of psychol-
ogy knows, impossible to register the i'm
preston produced by a smell in any form
of words. We can merely say that it is
pleasant or unpleasant, and vary the
assertion as the impression is powerful OF
weak In Mr.. Moor's laboratory heavy
smells correspond with the low notes in
music and sharp smells with the high
notes. What is high C in music is ammo

Almost everybody with refined tastes
and feelings meets this idea at first as
though it suggested something repulsive,"
said he. Second thought, however, soon
banishes such impressions, and 1T be-
comes evident that we have until now been
enjoying but four-fifths of this life, since
there are five senses. Most people con-
slider their noses as subjects of sensations
of no agreeable order as a rule. Yet there
is no reason why man should not reap
Just as bountiful harvest of enjoyment
from his sense of smell as from any
other of his senses-that of hearing, for
instance. Imagine for a moment the diff
ference between the popular idea now
associated with the olfactory organ, and
the idea that is destined to be associated
with it in the near future. Now I know
from personal observation that nine peo-
pie out of every ten to whom you sug
gest such a thing as a smelling concert
will without a moments hesitation give
utterance to some thought inspired by
a recollection of all the vile odors that
have ever assailed them. In the near flu
ture all this will be changed and the
mind will be as enchanted by the pros
pect of a symphony of scents as by a
duet of PATHS"
Mr. Moore was asked If anything like
a series of smelling concerts be now in
contemplation.
"Only as scientific study" ne replied.
at is true that these entertainments are
just now conducted privately as expert
ments, but that will soon cease to be
the case, particularly as it will before long
be possible for a man to invite his
friends to his house and there entertain

HISTORY TOLD IN SMELLS.
Wonderful Symphonies in Perfume to

Smells TO Replace Guns - Electrical
scienceis Revolutionlzing a Forgotten
Field in Art.
New York, Oct 13.-Whe has ever at
tended a smelling concert? How many
persons have an idea what a smelling con-
cert is?
To begin with smelling concert can
hardly be termed happy combination
of words. However accurate it be as a
description of totally new and highly
original form of public amusement, there
is no euphony in the term and it decidedly
lacks delicacy. But the man TO whom
credlt Tor all this is due, young D. Nc
Farlan Moore, whose recent discoveries
in electrical science are attracting gem
eral attention, considers the matter from
another point of view.
