The fact that Gen. Wingate's soldiers
found the khalifa lying dead on his sheep
skin, with his emirs and his body guard
lying dead about him; has a significance
that the press dispatch does not make par.
ticulary clear, and that is, perhaps, not
generally understood. When the Arab war
rior of the Soudan realizes that his case
IS hopeless, that victory and fight are
alike impossible for him, he spreads his
sheepskn saddle cloth on the ground and
takes his stand upon it, thus pledging him
self TO neither fly nor surrender, but to re-
main immovabie on that spot until death
overtakes him. 1t was thus that the kha-
lifa his emirs ard his guards died, having
recognized that they were hopelessly en-
trapped.

A Very Sad Death.

No sadder death has occurred in this
community in great while than that of
Mrs. Ella L. Greever, who departed this
life on the morning Of the 1st inst She
had been seriously, hopelessly i'll for
several days, but when death came is was
none the less a shock to her great number
of relatives and friends in Tazewell. Every
where she was known expressions of the
profoundest sorrow were heard at her
untimely death.
Mrs Greever was the daughter of the
late w. w. Peery, was born on the 18th
day of June, 1856, and was married to DIR.
C. w. Greever on May the Goth, 1873.
From this union there were five sons and
two daughters, all the sons and one girl,
surviving their mother, the latter died, an
infant little over two weeks old.
The deceased lady united with the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church while pupil at
Staunton Female College, Stauntou, Va.
She was faithful and useful member ofthat
Church until called upon tojoin the Church
above.
We have rarely heard any one spoken of
as highly by those who knew her as Mrs.
Greever. She had lived in several neigh
borhoods In Tazewell county, and from
persons who knew her in each community
there is one unbroken chain of testimony
as to her excellence of character. Her
heart was always full of sympathy and
tenderness for the suffering and was
overhowing with benevolence. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that she was so much
beloved. The death Of such woman is a
misfortune to the community where she
lived and an ire parable loss to her family
and friends.
On Monday afternoon funeral services
were held at the home Of the deceased
one and half miles west of town, con.
Quoted by Rev. j. II. Wyse, pastor of the
Lutheran church. These services were at.
tended by large concourse of sorrowine
friends and relatives. The remains were
then taken to the old Peery burying
ground, near the Fair Grounds, anc
were buried where her ancestors for seyera
generations have been laid to rest.
We extend our warm sympathy to tht
bereaved husband, children and other re
latives.

From The Orient,

We have been shown letter from Mr..
A. c Lilly, now in the Philippines. written
to his brother Bert, which gives some very
vivid pictures Of soldier life in the Philip
pines. Mr. Lilly is impressed with the
belief that the sympathy which is being
expressed in the United States for the
Filipinos is misplaced, as they are really
receiving better treatment than our own
soldiers. There can be no question that
the suGerings of our own boys are greater
than they Me inhlcIng upon the natives.
Mr. Lilly says the charge of lnhumanity by
our people to the natives is false. He also
sent to hia brother two copies of the Philip
pine Magazine and copies of the Gree
dom" daily newspaper, which is being
published at Manila by American pro-
p-etors. The magazines are gotten up in
very creditable style, with number of
war i'll trat;ons and scenes among the
natives.
