Sailed on a river of misty light
Into sea of dew.
Where are you going, and what do you
wish?"
The old moon asked the three
1--WE have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets Of silver and gold have we,'
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod
The old moon laughed and sung song,
As they rocked in the wooden shOe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Rnffied the waves of dew.
The llLtle stars were the herring-fish
That lived in the beautiful sea,
Now cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never afeard are wei"
SO cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
For the flsh in the twinkling foam,
Then down from thu sky came the wooden
shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
AS if it could not be;
And some folks thought twas dream they d
dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea;
But | shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is wee ones trundle-bed
5 shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen

The report of the Auditor of
Public Accounts came before the
people last week and is considered
an. interesting document. This
report states that unless the assess
ment Of real estate now being
made shows cor derable increase
the expenses Of the state govern
ment will have to be reduced. The
value of real estate will certainly
not be increased when there is
such a cry against it, so, we sup
pose, expenses will have to be
brought down.
During the last fiscal year the
receipts were about S5C0,000 less
than expenses. October LIST, 1893,
the amount in the treasury was
1851 .G55 IS. During the year the
receipts were s3,083. l5l11, and
disbursements, S3,2O6,G70.97, leav-
ing a balance of only 1882, 235.. SO

A Sad Death.


pool, received, Tuesday evening at
6 o'clock a telegram from the
Beaver Creek Lumber Company,
to the effect, that his son John,
who lad been in their employ for
some months, was killed in their
mil! at Davis w. Va, on Tuesday
of this week. \ second message
was received last Wednesday by
sff. uall from the same Company
stating that the remains OF de-
ceased was shipped over the B. & Q.
starting from Days at II a. NJ. Of
that day and were expected to ar
rive here at abont 10 o'clock this
morning.
The burial took place this even
ing. near H ghtown, in the family
graveyard, on the farm Of Mr.. NJ.
II. Hull, the grand father of the
deceased. the burial services beng
conducted by Rev. W. H. Woolf.
Only few months ago thlSyoung
man, after enjoying for a brief
PERIOD, the happiness Of marie
life, his devoted young wife, was
suddenly stricken down by death
leaving him to mourn his irrepara-
tie loss. Not long after her death
he, with the hope Of lettering his
fortune, leaving his home, went tt
Davis West, Va, to work fol
wages and Was prospecting wei
when oyertaken by the casualty
which ended his earthly existence
The news of his death brought
indescribable sorrow to the hearts
of his parents whose love an(
sympathy followed { him as h
went forth to fight lifr's bal
ties: but this cloud of sorrow i
not without gilded border. Johr
had needed the injunction "Bt
ye also ready" he having beer
converted and was received into
The Methodist church at a reviva
meeting conducted at Vanderpoo
last Fall by Rev. ". Fl. Woolf.
The stricken family has th(
sympathy Of the community.
None Of the particulars Of this
sad death could be learned up t(
the time Of going to press.
The above was put IN type yes
terday on the superstition that there
would be no delay in shipment Of
the body and that il would ar i
in Staunton at the time stated ii
the telegram, where it would be re-
ceived by Messrs. Slaven and Hidy
who are there for that purpo' e
and be conveyed to the place Of IN
ternlent at the time stated above
But q message was received last
night that the remains did MOI
reach Stauuton by the evening
train. and the next train would no
be due until 1; 40 p. III. today. w
suppose the delay is caused at th'
points where two changes have t
be made. If the body did no
leave Staunton until 2 o'clock thi
ieyening, it could not reach High
town until sometime SATURDAY
morning.
Later phone message receive
here at noon today states that th
remains Of John Hull have beer
shipped to Beverly, ". Va.' in
stead Of Staunton. 1t is eviden
that there is an unfortunate mis-
understanding, which will caus
trouble, and delay, but how i
came about we are not able to as
certain at this time.
