Already another year has been added to
the NUN Der of years this association has
worked among the poor aud unfortunate
and We find ourselves facing the seventy

that seventy years have gone when IL

work. We find that every year snlarges
the great need Of our work and also en- .
larges the golden opportunity We have Of
doing good to and for others and after
seventy years Of hard, constant, patient
efforts, hundreds are tina hiking God for
the assistance md helpfulness they have

During the year we have held fourteen
regular meetings with one special meet

The largest number present at any one
meeting, tfty.four; smallest number six,
this was on account Of a very severe snow
storm. The directors have held regular
monthly meetings at which much b usi-

names have been added to the association.
Two have withdrawn, two have moved
away, and two have passed to their eternal
rest. We shall ever remember their
familiar faces aud kind deeds they have
performed in the many years that they
were members of this assooia ton.

strangers, that he was an officer, and
she said If he was an officer to show

him that che had some friends by the
name of Stewart living about a mile up

She also said she came up on freight

VIRGINIA HONORING A MAN OF


Forty years ago the most accomplish
ed man of letters of whom we had
knowledge in Virginia was John r.
Thompson, editor of the Southern Lit
erary Messenger, all in all the best lit
earary monthly the south has had. He
wrote some facile, graceful verse, was
a critic of taste and ability, and a gen.
tleman of culture, refinemnet and ami
ability. He spent the last years of his
life as a literary worker on the late
William Cullen Bryant's paper, The
New York Evening Post. We never
met Nj. Thompson, but since early in
1858, have held him in grateful re-
membrance. When We had but just
begun a few months before an attempt
to edit a purely literary weekly, We
called the Leisure Hour" at Oxford,
n. c., and were wholly unframed, Mr..
Thompson did for this little weekly
what he never did for n similar pub
lication-he wrote in his magazine a
very kind, ap~preciative notice of it, and
not satisfied with what he had done,
he wrote a long paragraph in it's praise
for the Petersburg Daily News, pub
lished by Mr.. Crutchfield. After more
than forty-one years, at least thirty
five years being spent in newspaper
connection, We have received no such
kindness, no such appreciation from a
mar of poetic gifts and literary &C
complishments, and reputation. So we
cherish with interest and affection the
memory of the dead Virginian. 1t is
with pleasure that we read that a por-
trait of Mr.. Thompson had been I'M
yelled at the University of Virginia.
The account says, and We copy with
much satisfaction:
THE speech of presentation was made
by the Hon. r. Walton Moore, that
Of acceptance by Professor Thornton,
and that of appreciation by Captain
/ w. Gordon McCabe, of Richmond. An
ode composed by the Rev. B.. D. Tuck
! err, D. D., was read by the author. Let
tiers of appreciation were read from
various literary men living north and
south"
Virginia has delighted to honor the
memories of her great statesmen and
soldiers. She has done we'll to pay this
tribute to a genial and richly endowed
son who cultivated letters ''far from
the madding crowds ignoble strife"

E. Bradshaw has been celebrating in
verse the Song of the Trusts. The
heading is-"Well own the Earth"
eW give the opening and closing stan
zas, as they fit the case and suit the
times:
LET us cover up the sunbeams,
Lying all around u path,
Get a trust on wheat and roses,
Give the poor the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our choicest pleasure
Hoarding bounties Of today,
So the poor shall have scant measure
And two prices have to pay.
\
1--WE will syndicate the starlight
And monopolize the moon,
Claim a royalty on the rest days.
A proprietary noon;
For right of way through oceans spray
Well charge just what it's worth;
Well drive our stakes around the lakes,
In fact. we'll own the earth"

Our excellent contemporary, The
Henderson Gold Leaf, copies what The
Messenger recently said of DR.. Willis
Lewis, Of Granville, having made the
best shot of record. 1t supplements
it pleasantly and gives information as
to the Virginian who shot against him
and whose name we had forgotten. We
copy what is said:
THE editor of The Gold Leaf has
often heard DR.. Lewis speak of the
incident related .-bove by DR.. Kings
bury, as we'll as others of a similar ma
ture. He was unquestionably a very
fine shot and his performances with
the gun, shooting birds as they were
found wild in the field, were rot to be
mentioned in connection with trap Or
live pigeon shooting SO tame is the lat
ter sport in comparison.
The Brunswick farmer referred to
was Mr.. w. P. Rawlings, who is still
living. Although now past 80 years of
age, perhaps he was until within the
past few years a wonderfully successful
hunter and as fond Of the sport as in
his younger days. But though an old
man now and unable to engage. in field
sports, Mr.. Rawlings still dispenses the
hospitality Of a Virginian of the old
school, says his home paper, the Law
