Stonewall, Va, Sept. 13.-Jacob Ian
des, an old citizen of near this place
died at his residence on last Sunday
The deceased was rs years, 2 months
and Is days old. He leaves large fam.
| lily of children, all of whom are settled
down in life. Mr.. Landes was member
of the Mennonite Church, a good citizen,
and highly respected by his neighbors-
He was one of very large family resid-
ding in Augusta and Rockingham coun-
ties. His wife, whose maiden name was
Harshberger, died just four weeks before
him, both on Sundays. and both well
advanced in years, Mrs. Landes being
in her 73rd year. Four weeks ago, at
the time of the burial of his wife, Mr..

the ways of Providence are the ways of
wisdom, and here we leave our departed
neighbor.
Cyrus Hunter died near Roman few
weeks ego. [ noticed in your items at
the time the death of one Hunter, but
did not have the name correct Mr..
Hunter was an extraordinary man in
many respects. Having fair share of
education, he made literature and
minerealogy his study through life. and
was well posted on almost all subjects
brought before him, but at times his
mind would wander, and the knowledge
he had acquired proved detrimental to
bis happiness. He was upwards of 80
years old, and left a wife, one son and
two daughters.
Alexander Laporte, who had his leg
broken few weeks ago, is said to be
getting along fairly well.
Oscar Fur, who met with an acct
dent and was thought to be dangerously
hurt few weeks ago, is out again.

more beef made and less eaten in this

gentlemen and twelve young ladies q

year and this is one of the smallest
counties in the state. This speaks we'll

Another great discovery has been made

relieved on taking first dose, that she slept
all night; and with two bottles, has been alb

"a terminal tariff is made to govern
business from some original point like
st. Paul, or the head Of the lake or at
Fargo and Grand Forks, and made
while the volume of the business war;

tariff, or to encourage the building up

OF distribution, where large amounts of
business are consolidated and can be
more cheaply handled, where some such
conditions warrant a concession from
the distance tariff. Originally our dis
lance tariff applied everywhere. 1t also
has points Of advantage at places
where large amounts Of traffic are
turned over to us by connecting lines.
instead OF using proportionate tariff
