Aiphin, Va, Jan. 10, 1900.
We are constantly being made aware, by
striking illustrations. Of the truth OF the
ancient proverb, 'Misfortunes never comes
singly." Since the time of Job we have
been, In this manner, frequently reminded Of
4 the existence of an all wise Providence who
\ desired His loved ones to enter His kingdom
purified by tho mapy Affections Of earth.
Our nsighborhood has been recently de-
privsd Of che of it's shining Aghts, Of kind,
beloved Christian woman, Mrs. Nary Trlb-
| bett, wife of Andrew Tribbett. The influence
Of this "gem Of the Heavenly realm will
live in the lives of her loved ones and neigh
bors, even though she be resident OF the
Celestial Home. What Is death but briei
journey to some heppy, sinless land9
Soon after this dear mother uttered .he
last farewell" one Of her sons, Mr.. John
Tribbett, Of Riverside, Va, was made to
pass under the rod and mourn the sudden
loss Of dear, cherished wife. She folded
her mantle and was laid In bar last narrow
resting place ct Mt. Carmel, Sunday, January
7th, her funeral being preached by Rev. Mr..
Hamilton How often do we think our
hearts are not capable Of sustaining greater
blow, deeper loss, yet we inevitably bow
to the deeEee OF a Heavenly Father. and
drain, to the last drop, the cup Of bitterness.
Mr.. Thomas AlphIn, On old and respected
citizen Of Rockbridge, was thrown Friday
afternoon by horse and sustained Serious

and DR.. Reese Coleman. Of Marmien. He Is,
according to the latest report, improving
slowly.
The many friends Of Mrs. P. l. Huffman
Will be SrIeyed to know Of her continued in
disposition.
We are glad to iearh that Mr., George Trib
bett is convalescing. His e&esa son, Willie,
is visiting him.
The NJ. A. Reading Club will meet at
"Alphin house" Friday evening. We hope
full quota Of members will brighten the
halls and ICONS Of that hospitable mansion,
as question Of most vital Importance Is
on the tapis. In these days Of unjust OPP
preston. the fair SEX should seize every
opportunity to assert their equality il not
superiority, and enter the ranks OF the free,
by-casting the ballot. Especially should
this be true upon such an suspicious occasion
when oil Is harmony, the night is filled
with sounds OF merry laughter and soft
strains Of melody, Yben the Cares that in
fest the day shall, like the Arabs, fold their
