Obituary.

The messenger of death, being no
respecter of persons, visited our b,
loved neighbor, Frank Cole, near
Perth, and plucked from the family
circle their only son, Willie, aged Is
years and % days.
Willie was good, Ubedient boy and
will be missed by his dear parents and
friends. In the hour Of death he was
calm aud composed, talking to his
faithful mother about his departure,
believing he would 90 soon. How IN.
speakable is faith and hope during
such sad bereavement. The great end
of the creation Of man is that God
might glorify himself in creating a
heaven, peOpled with human beings
bright and glorious, and forever grow
ing brighter aud more glorious in the
reception aud exercise of his infinite
love. Therefore, We reasonably con-
clude that the disembodied spirits
are under the care Of an all wise and
loving God. "Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not.
for Of such is the kingdom of heaven"
Yours in Christ,
John -. MCLAUGHLIN.

JOSEPH f. GOOCH.
Peoples candidate for Commissioner.

But little excitement has been
raised as yet about the contest for
county commissioner in the north
district. The national contest seems
to be overShadowiDg everything else.
1t is well, however, for the people to
give some attention to the admins
tratiOn of county affairs, and especi-
ally to the board Of county commits
sioners. The county commissioners
hold The purse strings Of the county
treasury, and to them more than any
other agency are due either high or
low taxes. The Populists have never
yet had majority of the board; aud
it has been shown in these columns
heretofore that one Populist member
yielded tremendous infence toward
keeping expenses down. If we should
elect Populist member this year, we
would then have majority Of the
board, and we believe the taxpayers
would receive very material benefit
by it.
The Populists could scarcely have
selected a better man than Joe GoOch.
He is armed with experience iu town
ship affairs, good Judgment and abso-
lutte determination.
Joe f. GoOch was born in Culpepper
county, Virginia, July IA, 1915. lie
was raised in Ohio county, West Vir-
ginia. at the outbreak of the civil
war, at the age Of 10, he offered his
services to the 18th West Virginia,
but was rejected on account of his age.
In 1862 he came with his parents to
Christian county, Illinois, and enlist
ed the following spring in the civil
engineer corps under Major-General
Steele-l4th army corps. In 1866 he
re-enlisted 10 Co. B., It'll Illinois cav.
airy, and served to the close of the
war.

The meetings as usual this week
have been well attended. Sedgwick
City and Mulvane were right up to
date-and the one at South Haven was
a Lula-while the one at Caldwell
packed the opera house to overlooking.
One nice feature Of the Caldwell meet
ing was that the president Of the Nc
Kinley club met US at the depot and
took Mr.. Simpson in his carriage over
the little city to his hotel. What a
contrast to his treatment by some OF
the thimble Drained Republicans of
Ness county and few other places in
the district. Here too the next morn
ing we met John ]. ingalls, at the de-
pot, and as he grasped Jerry = Une
hand he said: SPY George, Jerry, l am
glad to see you looking so well-wish l
could have been in time to hear you
speak, for you always say something
worth hearing" From here we went
to Clearwater, Sedgwick county.

you never doubt it. Most Of the very
best business men of the town have
come outfor silver. They do not claim
to be POpOcrats, but silver men, and
when their party again declares for
silver they will be found lighting US
just as hard as overland that is right
too. The chairman of the meeting
two years ago was chairman OF Mr..
Longs meeting and a strong champion
OF his. At st, Marks also, The presi-

SHENANDOAH VALLEY TRAFFIC

SHENANDOAH VALLEY TRAFFIC =
Freight from the middle Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia will hereafter reach
the North by way of the Southern and
Pennsylvania Railroad systems, unless
an arrangement is reached between the
Southern and the B. & 0. for the
through movement ofthe latters valley
trains over the Strssburg and Harrison
burg Railroad, which was until recently
leased by the 3. & o. Under the new
arrangement the business of the middle
Valley of Virginia is now handled by
the Southern Railway, and is brought
east over the tracks of the Manassas
road to Alexandria, where it finds a
northern outlet over the Pennsylvania
system. For many years the Pennsy l.
vania and what is now the Southern
system have interchanged traffic at

controlling the trade of the Val
ley OF Virginia. 1t has seemed

IL is supposed by the business men Of
that city will turn the trade OF the rich

pie CT Baltimore cannot afford to sit
idly by and see railroads connecting
them with the South and with Virginia
aud West Virginia, especially, pass out
of the control of this city and into
hands that are more friendly to other
places. Southwest Virginia and West
Virginia contain resources of such ur
limited wealth-cceatipg possibilities
that we will be recreant TO the respon-
sibility that rests upon us if we permit
the rich trade OF those rapidly growing
States to be controlled by other cities.
No other seaboard city in America has
as its 'back- country" a region OF such
lp6nite resources. The development
of the coal, iron and timber regions OF
West Virginia and Southwest Virginia
mas barely commenced and yet these
TWO States are annually turning out
even now upward OF 100000 tons OF
coal"
THE above shows that the city OF
Baltimore feels keenly the loss Of a
heavy trade which is now pointing
toward Alexandria. Our merchants
