At meeting of the democrats OF

The following resolutions presented
by Mr.. Robinson were adopted:
We, the democrats of N Northampton.
in mass meeting assembled take this
occasion to express our cordial APP
prevail of the course of our honored
representative in Congress, William
4. Jones, and to express our gratitude
at the fair and efficient manner IN
which he has discharged the duties
devolving upon him as the representa-
tive of the First district.
In the event of the absence of our
delegation at the District Convention
at Urbana, we request that Hon.
Llovd Smith do cast the vote of this
county for Hon. William A. Jones,
but that the vote of the county may
be cast by any democrats OF the
county for him, who may be present.
That we denounce in the most I'M
qualified manner the spirit of i'm
perlalism which now seems to per
wade the dominant party aud which
tends to the subversion of the consti-
tuition and the time honored customs
of the country and the destruction OF
all democratic institutions, involving
us in untold foreign complications,
the increase of the debt burden and
the consequential increase of the bur-
dens of taxation.

Our hearts were made sad to realize
on the morning of June 10, 1898, when
our beloved father, Mr.. John D.
Fisher, fell asleep in Jesus, in the
Gath year of his age. He was an af>
fectionate husband, devoted father
and kind neighbor and will be greatly
missed in the community in which he
lived. He protested religion in early
life and joined the Baptist Church of
which he was consistent member
until he was called to the church
triumphant above. His bereaved wife
and five children feel that their loss is
his again-death had no terrors for
him. He told us he was going home,
with his dying breath, saying he was
not afraid to die and wanted us all to
meet him. May his friends and rela.
tives follow him as he followed Christ
and be prepared to meet him again
in that better world above.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love has given,
And though the body slumbers here.
The soul is safe in heaven.
Farewell, dear father, you have left us.
We your loss most deeply feel,
But it's God that has bereft us
He will all our sorrows heal.
Written by his daughter, NJ. E. Byrd.

To Teachers.

Atlantic District School Board has
passed a resolution requesting the
County superintendent not to grant
licenses to teach to those who fail to
take the examinations prescribed by
law. Many complaints are made be-
cause teachers fail to be re-examined
after their licenses expire, or because
they obtain licenses to teach without
examination. Graduates of Virginia
State Normals are not required to be
examined. The law eXempts them,
but it does not exempt the graduates
of other schools, and we think the
law should he strictly complied with.
Only in cases of many years of faith
full and successful teaching should
renewals of licenses be made. In
making appointments we shall GER
tainly give preference to those teach
ers who fearlessly take the examina-
tions according to law-without
lodging.
