A Good Man tone.

AT 9 O'Clock last Thursday morning,
at his residence in Marion, Va, Richard
Venable, father of Mrs. NJ. s. Fornshell,
of this place, died. 1t is indeed a sad
duty that falls to our lot in recording
this fact, and one we would gladly
have been spared, but as the grain was
ripe for the sickle the reaper CANT and
garnered the grain.
Mr.. Venable vas one of the best ex-
amples of natures handiwork it has
been our fortune to know. Generous.
genial and loving in disposition, he
made many friends and kept them,
Perhaps no man has lived in South,
west Virginia so long as he had who
could count more personal friends and
fewer enemies, indeed, if he had an
enemy it was not known to the writer
of this sketch. For half a century or
more he has been actively engaged in
bushes, most of that time in Marion.
He had raised a family of ten children
all of whom survive him, and leaves,
beside a number of grandchildren and
great grandchildren, his faithful, Low.
ing companion of more than fifty
years, a noble woman, a devoted
mother and q most worthy Christian.
Father Venable died as he had lived
for fifty three years, entirely satisfied
with Gods plans of life and death, and
was ready to meet the summons.
Death had no terrors for him, and the
grave was deemed but a hating place
for a wornout body. He never once
expressed a doubt as to the future, but
was confident of his reward for a life
spent in the service of Him who doeth
all things we'll. He was a member of
the Methodist Church, and had always
been active in church work, especially
in the Sunday School, having missed
but three Sundays in more than half a
century.
1t is hard for us who loved him so
much to lose him, but we bow to the
inevitable, and shall try to make our
meeting with him an assured fact.
May He who tempers the winds to the
shorn lamb strengthen the hearts OF
the bereaved ones to bear the burden
of their woe in becoming spirit, and
while we feel that the hand of God is
heavy laid, say "Thy will be done"

nance, makes the following PROPOSE
tons to young ladies of limited means,

the publishers a free scholarship in
Sullins Female College, including

II she prefers she may select two out
OF literary, music and art departments.
This scholarship is worth 1926. The
young lady who fails to win this prize
out who secures as many as two hun
dred subscribers to The Criterion, will
receive from the publishers tickets en-
titling her to free tuition, worth $50,
in said College. Other expenses will

Dynamited the River.

- Last Wednesday Sheriff Pritchett
and Constable Cochran went to the
Tenth District and arrested four men
charged with dynamiting fish in the
Watauga River. They were tried on
Thursday morning before Esquires Cor
rel and Shipley. Two of them-Bryce
Tucker and John Hyatt were, unon
motion of attorney for the State, dis.
charged, while George and Garfield
Grow were bound over to the grand
jury in August. This is the first in
stance, we believe, that has occurred
in this county in which any n has
been convicted of this crime, but it
will not be the last unless the lawless
characters who have been INDUCING
in the practice quit it, as Fish Com
missioner kirkpatrick is determined
to enforce the law to the limit. 1t is
no less a violation of law to kill fish
with dynamite than it is to steal a
horse, and we are sorry to know there
are any persons in the country who
have SO little regard for the law than
to do such a shameful piece of work.
At places along the river the stencil
from dead fish is said to be ~unbearable.

In Memory of Worley Beals.

Worley Beals, son of James aud Mary
F. Beals, was born in November, 1887;
died October II, 1895; being almost
eight years old when he died. Death
had visited that home and borne away
an infant about three weeks before he
came for Worley. Oh, the sadness and
sorrow which filled that mother 3 heart.
There she lay PROSTATE upon a bed Of
sickness and could not aver give her
son a drink of water, although he was
waited on with willing hands, yet they
were not mothers. His grandma told
him that they had done all they could
to help him, that he would have to look
to God for help. After that he was
heard several times praying. Just a
short time before he died he prayed
that little prayer that all good mothers
learn their children, and then passed
peacefully away to that rest which God
promises to all the little children. He
would often speak about doing good,
and if the s~tepfather would be away
from homo at night he would say,
Mamma, let's pray before we 60 to
bed" Just before they carried him
from his home forever, they asked the
mother if she wanted to see him; they
carried him to her bed, and that feeble,
trembling hand smoothed his brow for
the last time; it seemed it was almost
more than any mother could bear, but
she bore the stroke with Christian for
titude. Mother, sorrow not for Morley,
as those that have nc hope, be faithful
and you shall see him again, when
your tolls in this life are DER.
God has seen fit to remove
The boon his love had given
And while his body moulders here,
His soul is safe in heaven.
