GDtZt1hTYt

On the morning Of December Bird,
1895, our hearts were made sad by
the removal of, by the hand of death
from our midst our beloved daughter,
sister. wife, mother, friend, Margaret
A., wife Of Samuel II. Matthews, and
daughter of William and Tabitha
Mason, in her ed year. Early ia life
she professed religion and joined the
Methodist Church. ever afterwards
manifes;iug her sincerity by her de
votion to the canse of the Master and
her resigns ton 10 His will during
suffering, but when death came there
was grand triumph. Calling her
husband to her bedside she said, Il
am going to leave you; | saw Mary
last night (meaning their daughter
who had preceded her 10 years to the
glory land) standing near me in my
room, and she said, mother l am
coming for you in few days to carry
you home with me.' When asked by
her husband, if she had not rather
stay with him and the children. she
said, mo, / had rather CO. and if
she did not fear that some of the
children would not come to that
must follow on. After all kind hands
could do she calmly fell asleep in
Jesus to await the resurrection morn.
We hail with delight Il religion that
can give such victory in the hour of
death. She leaves ON this side of
Jordan an aged father and mother,
five sisters an done brother, a devoted
husband and four children, and
many friends to mourn their loss.
The invalid mother has expressed
her anxiety to be with her daughter
Oh the other side, but we will wait
and rejoice in hope OF u glorious re-
union on the other side OF the Jordan
where we shall realize:
How sweet it will be in that beautiful
land,
So free from all sorrow and pain;
With songs on ouriips and with harps
in our hands,
And to be altogether again.
MANY FRIENDS.

rsgr, OYSTER INDUSTRY.

A meeting of citizens, interested in
the oyster industry, was held ut ape
Charles last Monday. The attend
ance was large and in the number
was Senator LeCato and Delegates
| Nattfe,,-e and Smith.
Capt. q. A. Browne WAS elected
chairman and Capt. Geo. &c. SAVAGE
secretary.
Tie object of the meeting is fully
explained by the following preamble
and resolutions offered by Captain
Browne and unanimously adopted:
''Whereas for the past forty years
erroneous ideas from time to time
have been promulgated concerning
the oyster industry of this State, ex-
pensive navies have been created,
abolished, sacrificed and re estab-
lished for revenue and protection,
which hes been inadequate; leSisla-
ton has been confusing and detrl
mental to it: surveys of public and
private oyster beds have been made
and not permanently marked; the
leasing of oyster grounds to planters
is frivolous and insufficient, the pres
ent law is partial in placing its bur
dens, by requiring tax of the oyster
planters to support navy to guard
the natual oyster beds, which are
practically free to tongmen; there
fore, in order that business may be
properly understood throughout the
State, that the oyster navy be put on
a practical, economical footing, that
the surveys may be suitably marked,
that the leasing of the oyster grounds
may be properly done, that the law
may be equal and just in dealing
with every interest.
Resolved, BY the oystermen as
sembled at Cape Charles, on the Och
day of January, 1896, to respectfully
recommend to the Legislature that
il create IL board OF fish commission
ers for the Chesapeake bay and It's
tributaries, composed of five persons,
to be elected by the Legislature, three
of whom shall reside in the salt water
section of the State and two shall re-
side above salt water; that the board
of fish commissioners shall have
the largest powers conferred upon ii
to deal with the oyster industry com
patible with the laws of the State and
general governments that the mem
bers of the board of fish commission
ers shall be paid their expenses OF
travel aud board when on duty, but
no other compensation; that the
l.oard of fish commissioners be an
thorized to employ a secretary at a
salary of 1,2O0 per year; that a copy
of these resolutions be sent to the
Senator and representatives of this
county in the Legislature, TO be
placed before their respective bodies
for their consideration and action
