In his address to his former COM
rades Mr.. Mckinley felicitated them
upon the glory he and they acquired
when they rode under Sheridan
through this beautiful Valley of ours.
That was a grand Cd ride, and will
he distinctly remembered by our
people as both a bright and dark spot
in their history-made bright by the
light of burning barns, and black
with the darkness of desolated homes,
whose lone chimneys were leIt as
monuments of the most ultra van
dalism.

1t is with great regret that we re-
cord the death of Mrs. Alice Slater
Ronemus, wife of Mr., Charles M.
Ronemous, which occurred at her
home near Uvilla last Monday night.
She was an excellent woman in every
respect, and her death leaves q va
cancy that may never be filled. A
loving and faithful wife, a devoted
mother, a good neighbor, her death
will be greatly regretted by a large
circle of relatives and friends. The
funeral was held yesterday in the
Lutheran church at Uvilla, the SER
vice being conducted by Rev. Zed.
II. Copp, of the United Brethren
church of Hagerstown. The remains
were inferred in Charles Town. Mrs.
Ronemus, whose age was 81 years,
3 months and 6 days, is survived by
her husband and three childaen.
CShepherdStoton Register.
The deceased was a sister-in-law
of Messrs. Harry and Frank Rome
mus, of this place.

The small log cabin in which the
father of Mr.. w. j. Bryan, the Dem
ocratic candidate for President, was
born, is still standing in Rappahan-
mock county, about half a mile from
S~perryville. The family name of
Bryan and place 'of birth suggests
the probability that Hon. William
Jennings Bryan may be a kinsman
of our deceased countyman Mr..
Bryan o'Bannon, ard of his son,
our former townsman, Capt. James

of the State of Virginia,

TIE Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, of Birmingham, Ala, has concluded a contract with an Italian steel making concern at Genoa, Italy, for the sale of 5O,OO0 tons of Alabama pig-iron. In this sale the Southern concern underbid all English competitors. The sale is the result of discovery that low silicion iron adapted to steel produc- tion can be made by new process from the ordinary red ores which abound in Alabama and Tennessee. This also goes to show what South ern industry can do in competition with English industries.

most delicate sensibilities. The fol- lowing story although probably not authentic, illustrates his nature:
 While writing q serial story for one of the Paris papers man came to him and said:
 M. Dumas, will you be kind enough to tell me what becomes of your heroine9"
 "She dies of consumption" he re- piled.
 In the last chapter?"
 "In the last chapter. ,"
 My dear NJ. Dumas, beg of you to change that chapter.
 Impossible. A woman could not do otherwise who hasliyed as have made my heroine live"
 "A human life depends upon it."
 How so?"
 "My daughter is so carried away by your work that if your heroine dies of consumption my daughter will die of consumption"
 That last chapter was changed, so the story goes, and ten years later the author was presented to a woman who looked like the statute of Germania.
 "This is she whose life you have saved" said the urbane father, "she is married and has four children" iS
 And my book has had four editions, replied Dumas; We are quits. '

CUFFY is having hard time of it at St. Louis.

The The St. St Louis hotels fuse to take them in with their white guests, and the negroes are, therefore, raising a kick. A mig ger" is never so near heaven as when he thinks he's as good as white man.

A Chicago man suggests that when a would-be bank robber de- mands the cash, it would be n good idea to throw red pepper in the eyes of the audacious sconndrel. That is just like Chicago and reminds one so foreibly of the salt-on-the-bird 's-tail scheme. It will be remembered that it was health official from the Windy City who some time ago seriously advised the use of rose wa ter before and after kissing. Be it said to the credit of the youth of the country that they didn't have time for that, neither did they give any heed to the recommendations. They took theirs straight.

George Vanderbilt can ride 100 miles on macadamized roads over his estate at Biltmore, near Ashe- vile, N. c.

The owner, q simple mountaineer, like his forefathers, has grown old in that hut, and there he intends to die. It is currently reported that an incredibly large sum was offered and refused.
