time as yet to look around; nor will we
know what we shall do definitely until

cy outlined, and you can assure the pub

BICYCLE RACES
AT sToWN ,sEPTEM.
Der 8, 1893.

There will be a bicycle race meet held
at Charles Town, w. Va, Saturday, Sep
TENDER 8, 1898, commencing at 8 p. m.
sharp, under sanction of the L. A. W.
The track on which this race will be held
is well known to the public, being mid
way between the two stations, con-
~venient to all, and one of the best
quarter-mile tracks in the two virginias.
1t is equipped with one of the largest and
best grand stands, and other necessary
improvements for the convenience of its
patrons. The Charles Town Cornet
Band will render classic pieces in the in
terva1s between the several races.
The races last held on his track were
highly interesting and exciting, the entry
of city riders being the largest known in
any race held in the Valley, and the time
in one race being but two seconds short
of the worlds record, thereby awakening
public interest in bicycle racing to such
an extent that we anticipate on Sept. 3rd
having one of the largest races ever held
under L. A. w. Sanction.
Don't fail to attend this meet and bring
your friends, as it is well worth the small
fee you will pay at the gate. Vehicles
admitted on payment Of a small fee. pro-
vided they come early.

patton. The action of this gentle but eff
fective laxative is never accompanied by
the gripping so marked in the operation of
most cathartics. 1t is an Incompatible

We have rescued the conclusion that
the colored man who depends upon the
whites for work, don't show good sense
by cu.sing the Democrats and angelizing
the Republicans. We don't advise them
to be Democrats, but we do say, thew
don't show good sense to abuse, work and
vote against the very persons who give
them all the work they get. Take for in
stance, Jefferson county where there are
a thousand colored voters, n~iue-tentbs of
whom work for Democrats, and would
suffer for thew wants of life, were it not for
them The Democrats of Jefferson are
kindly disposed in every way to the col.
ored people. That county has the best
schools of any county in the State, in the
shape of length Of time, and pay for
teaching. There is more manly treat
ment 10 the colored teachers by the
whites, than there is in any other county
in this State. These things being true,
why no vote like intelligent men. By
that we mean vote for whom you choose.

peath Of Mrs. Margaret Aldridge.

Mrs. Margaret Aldridge, widow of the late
Andrew Aldridge, died at her residence,
"CaIidonia,' . on Thursday afternoon last.
a year or more ago Mrs. Aldridge fell from
a chair and FRACTURED her hip, since which
she has been a helpless invalid. Subsequent
ly she was paralyzed and about a week ago
a second stroke of paralysis followed, which
ended in her death. Long enured to the tor
tureofphysical afliction, which rendered her
as helpless as a child, the incident suffering
was borne with an accomplishing endur-
ance which marked a fortitude born of faith
in Him who doth all things well and
doth not willingly atiict his children. The
crown thus won, in 1.-THE crucible of purifying
fire, will be worn in celestial glory. As
christian woman, wife, mother, neighbor
and friend the deceased was prominently
conspicuous in all of these holy and hallow-
ed spheres, and the bereayed who are strick-
en-, with overwhelming sorrow, in the loss
of a mother-the sweetest and dearest tie
which binds humanity to life the most fra
grant flower which sheds its grateful per-
fume in the dearest of all refuges-home,
mourn not a life ended but u glorious exist
ence begun. The tenderest solicitude, in
spired by devoted filial love, which had its
pleasure in alternating the suffering and
contributing to the comfort of a household
idol, was born of a devotion, inspired by the
nobility of a character, true to life's highest
aims and responsibilities, and pregnant with
an influence which crowns the lives of
children's children with a beauty which
life's sordid influences can never suly.-
Truly such lives are not lived in vain; the
world is better by them. IT'S the memory
of our sainted dead which smoothes the
rough places of stern duty's pathway, and
even when time, the great healer ofsorrows
~poignancy, shall have scared Affections
wound, with the cares ofyears, yet memory,
with its tears and signs, will forever crown
'fmother's'' grave with the beautiful flowers
which spring from the poblest love.
