1t is hoped, that the people OF Ac-

lose sight of the fact that the Con-
federate Veterans of the two counties
will give grand entertainment at
Cape Charles, on the 18th of August,
for the purpose of raising Il fund to
be used in the erection of a suitable
monument to the memory of soldiers
from the Eastern Shore who lost
their lives in the Confederate cause.
Special trains will be run, a sumptu-
Gus dinner served and at least two
speakers of national reputation are
confidently expected to be present.
Names of speakers, schedule OF special
trains, &c, will be announced later.
Subscription lists for such articles
of foods, &C., as may be necessary to
make the entertainment success
are in the hands of ladies and gentle.
men in the various neighborhoods of
the Eastern Shore. 1t is deemed IN
necessary to ask the people to con-
tribute literally in proportion to
their means. Remember, all you to
whom the Confederate cause was,
and still is dear, how great the sacri'
flee they made and how little their
surviving comrades ask. They gave
up home, friends, even life itself in
defense of virginia's honor, their
comrades only ask to be
aided in erecting monument to
their gallantry and
perpetuate their memory in the
hearts of all who loved the cause for
which they died.

much to the satisfaction and delight
of the people.
Our little village is saddcned by the
death or Rev. S. w. Eason, OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
Mr.. Eason had been unwell for some
time but had kept going. On Satur
day, Goth. he consulted a physician,
but did rot take his bed till Monday,
ed. The fever at first was not con-
sidered dangerous, but later a very
malignant form of typhoid developed.
From that time his friends had very
little hope of his recovery He knew
his end was near and felt fully re
signed to the will of his God. With
sweet words of cheer and tender ad-
vice to father, mother, brothers, wife
and babe, he passed peacefully away
on the afternoon of the 30th. The
funeral services were held in the Meth
odist Church at one o'clock on Wed
nesday. A very touching part OF the
services was the baptism of the little
babe, according to the wish of the
father. by the Rev. j. r. Sturgis.
Following this, eloquent and touch
ing eulogieS were pronounced by Rev
Mr.. Wright, the presiding elder of the
district, Rev. j. Il. Sturgis, pastor OF
Wachapreague circuit, and Rev. h.
E. c.. Lawson, of the Presbyterian
Church. The funeral party left on
the 4:15 train to lay the remains at
rest at the home of his father in Nor
folk county. Mr.. Eason was 81 young
man, had been preaching only four
wears, but his ministry had already
given promise of great things to come.
His church has lost promising young
minister; this pastoral charge has
lost faithful under shepherd; his
parents have lost son of whom they
were justly proud; but by far the
greatest loss is felt by his young and
devoted wife. We drop our tears
with hers and murmur our words OF
sympathy, but we cannot ease the
pain that is tearing that faithful
heart. This God alone can do, and
he will do it in his own good time.
