Once a poet wrote a sonnet,
All about a pretty bonnet,
And a critic sat upon 1t,
con the sonnet,
Not the bonnet,
Nothing 10th.
AS if it were high treason
He said: Neither rhyme nor reason
Has it. And it's out of seasonp
Which? The sonnet.
Or the bonnet?
May be both.
IT'S a feeble imitation
Of a worthier creation.
An esthetic innovation!
OF a sonnet,
Or a bonnet.
This was hard.
Both were put together neatly
Harmonizing very sweetly,
But the critic crushed completely,
Not the bonnet
Or the sonnet,
But the bard!

OBITU AIRY.

On April 10Th, 1894, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Wallace b. Burns,
IN CoVlngton, Va, the angel of deaf h
loosed the cord that bound sister SA-
RAH +. RUSH to earth, and carried her
pure spirit home to glory and 20 God.
She was the daughter of Thomas and
Nancy Henning, of Lewisburg, Green.
0rier county, w. Va, and was born
Sept. 9th, 1885. She was converted and
Joined the M. +. Church, South, when
about II years of age. January 10th.
1903, she was united in holy matrim ony
TO q. II. Rush, the result of which was
six sons and three daughters.
Sister Rush S conversion enabled her
to say that, " know that my Redeemer
llveth, and that ave know we have
passed from death unto life" And She
ever insisted on others to attain to n
similar knowledge.
Few homes have been blest with such
wife and mother. 1t may be truth
fully said of sister Rush that she looked
well 20 the ways of her household. and
that she ate not the bread of idleness :
that her children arise and call her
blessed, and her husband also, while
alive, praised and honored her.
While sister Rush was never of ro-
Dust constitution, she was untiring in
her efforts for home, church and society.
And, through her efforts were not m
immediate success. she faltered not :
out repeated and renewed them until
uou SAID II Is enough, come up
higher, enter into the joys of thy Lord. :
She was well known as a friend to those
III need and in trouble. Her benefac
tlonS TO such could not be enumerated
but doubtless were so many treasures
laid up in heaven.
From heart full of love il was not
difficult for her To speak words of com
Tort and encouragement to others, es-
peclally to disconsOlate and dispOndinp
CHRISTIANS. Oh, how sweetly and ten
DERBY she could speak to those " no grew
cod and Indifferent and, with what
amazing success, she could lead them
back TO love and duty. She WIS often
res0rted to when and were discretion
aud piety were needed. In reviyals
class and praymeetings her presence
was an inspiration, while she delighted
TO teach III the Sunday School. Her
experience as a christian was Clearly
and pointedly stated, and never failed
to animate others. "She, being dead.
yet speaketh."
The foregoing account was written
10y Kew. j. :. Lemon, of the Yves Vir-
gina Conference, to which account |
would. by request, add few words
NV acquaintance with sister Rush
was Il short one. She was an invalid. 1
am told about Il years, and was in very
poor health from the time | first met
her until she died. | visited her again
and again, during her last illness. 1t
was a privilege to be ut her bedside -
She trusted in God. She was fun %

the word of God ; and, i'm our season Of

umph. Her death was peaceful, and
we believe that heaven is her eternal
home. ID. FRANK EUTsLER.

Democratic Caucus.

The Democrats of the Legislature
held their caucus on the night of tho
10th inst, and Judging from the ac-
counts we have it was by no means
harmonious. The friends of Mr..
Camden insisted that, as the vote of
the party for "a u. -. Senator would
be nothing more this year than "A
compliment, MIR. Camden should
have the nomination. This, how
ever, met with strong opposition
from the opponents of the Senator.
Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, having learned
that his name would be proposed for
the complimentary vote Of his party
had written to "a number of his
friends in the Legislature asking that
his name be not suggested, saying
that rs he had made his race for the
House with the hearty and effective
support of both the avowed candi-
dates for the Senate-Mr. Camden
and eX-Gov. Wilson--he did not
think it would be proper to antago-
niZe them for the caucus nomination.
Notwithstanding this, many Of his
friends insisted upon voting for him,
SO that the first ballot stOod-Cam
den, ii; VIM. l.. Wilson, II; j. T..
Chiffon, >, and J. w. st. Clair, B.
The second ballot resulted Camden.
II, and Wilson, l3. SO Mr.. Camden
was declared to be the choice of the
caucus. But for MIR. Wilson's let
ters, which induced some of his
friends 90 respect his wishes, it is be-
lieVed that he would have been easily
nominated. Some of the Demo-
Gratis took the position that as Mr..
Camden was the sitting member it
would have been discourteous to have
refused him the empty honor of the
nomination.
The absentees from the caucus,
| whether intentional or not we do
not know,) were cambridge Of JEFF
torson, Moomau of Pocahontas, Ad-
kins of Wayne and McKinnie of
Wetzel. Gov. Wilson had with
drawn his name from the considera-
ton of the caucus.
Taking every thing into considera-
ton, we believe it would have been
as well had the Democrats held no
caucus at all, leaving their members
free to vote in the joint assembly to
| suit themselves.

Senate Bill No. >.

This is measure introduced in the
state Senate by Mr.. Young, of Up
Shur, entitled "a Bill To Reform
the Judiciary Department of the
State"
The scheme of the Circuits pro-
posed by this measure will be found
in Cnothcr place of this issue, and
will be examined, we have no doubt,
with much interest. 1t is evident
that the Republicans will aim so to
arrange the circuits as to insure the
election of as many Republican
Judges as possible. Whilst we do
not think that partiSanship should
enter at all into the arrangement of
tn" "i'cWts-thc judges Of our courts
being in no sense political offices
we q" not feel much disposed to COM
plain, inasmuCh, as we have no
doubt, the Democrats, if in power,
would do the same thing.
We approve fully Of the general
purposes Of the bill, our only obiec-
ton, apart from the partisan arrange
ment Of the circuits, being that, in
our opinion, the Republicans pro-
pose to make more circuits than are
necessary. Many of the circuits, il
Will he seen, consist of but two
counties, and majority of them of
not more than three. Judge Holt
presided for number Of years over
a circuit of eight counties, holding
two courts II year in each, and that.
too, at time when the chanCcry
and common law d0ckets were, Der
hapS, double as large as they now
are. When cases like this are con.
sidcred-and all the circuits were
large at that time-we NAV well
conclude that any competent Judge
Wh" Is willing to earn his salary, can
easily Il" the work in larger circuits
than are provided in this bill, though
the criminal business may be some.
what larger than it was ten years
ago. Fifteen or sixteen circuits, in
our Judgment, would be ample.
The pending bill abolishes all the
criminal courts established two wears
ago, and this we regard rs one of its
best features.
