Our community has had a very gen.

for some time past.
Miss Reba Berry, who taught the
Summerdean public school, has re-
turned to her home on Kerr'S Creek,
Rockbridge county.
The public schools of this district
has been extended one month, making
a six months school, but the average
has been very much reduced by the
very general prevalence of measles.
Rev. 9. A. Freed was unable to fill
bis appointment at this place On

Some of our people are very indig
nant with our representatives in the
Legislature at the very general in
crease OF salaries and appropriations
made by them du1ing tho past session
OF the Legislature. Others are loud
in their protests against the commits
sioners OF valuation law, but the ma
]orlty of them are more conservative
and prefer not to condemn the meas
ure until after they have studied it
more closely.

Congressional aspirants are plentiful
still blooming. So complex is the
outlook that it would be very hard
indeed to forecast the result at this

How often those words are on a wo-

most the racked condition of
the body, which make life a daily
martyrdom.
If this condition had come suddenly
it would have been unbearable. But
the transition a gradual. A little
more strain each day on the nerves.
A little more drain each day of the
vitality. Any woman would be glad
to be rid of such a condition. Every

Fire at Clifton Forge.

The Chesapeake and Ohio machine
shops at Clifton Forge were burned on
Thursday night of last week. The fire
was discovered about 9 o'clock. The
greatest loss is the damage done the
machinery. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
For several weeks these shops had
been working a large force, and being
rushed with work, many of the men
had to work overtime. President G..
w. Stevens visited the scene Of the fire
on Friday. Necessarily, many men
will be without employment for time.
The damage was in the neighborhood
of S., 900.

EEo" hohfNs
 The returned District volunteer had been with the regiment at Santiago just before he was taken to tho hospital. There he had been i'll for weeks He reached Washington with light heart, but frail body. His strength had been sapped up by the hardships of the cam paign, and he was in no condition to endure further troubles, b4 as he left the depot he summoned all of his avail able strength in an endeayor 10 walk firmly and to hold his head erect.
 "Mary must not know how weak am" he murmured to himself. "She knows have been in the hospital, but she must not suspect that even now l am fit subject for the physicians l will be brave and meet her with light heart. Under her kind, loving care l will surely recover speedily"
 His wife met him in the hallway, her face pale with subdued emotion, and her air and demeanor showing that she had some dread news to break to him.
 Do not touch me yet, Tom," she cried. Do not come near me. You must know all first"
 Good heavensl What do you meant Mary, my wife-why"- And the brave soldier boy faltered, fearing to hear some dreadful details.
 "Tom, dear. love you just the same," went on the wife hurriedly, as though she would shorten the agony, "but things are not the same as they were when you went away. Another"-
 "Anotherl What do you mean"-
 Don't misjudge me. Tom, dear, l beg of you, pleaded the wife. "It was not my fault could not help it. P'-
 "Not help itl' broke in the hero of Santiago firmly and harshly. "NOt help itl Do you mean 10 say that you have forgotten your duty as my wife? Do you mean to say"-
 By heavens. you shall hear me through before you misjudge me like this," cried the sobbing wife, throwing herself upon her knees. "I could not bear to have you enter this house with out knowing the worst, and now, since you force me to tell you so abruptly. you shall know all. I had planned to break the news more gently, but 1t is impossible. You make it hard for me. Tom, love you, but things can never again be the same between us My mother is here to spend the winter with us"
 With a gurgling, almost inarticulate cry, the man who had survived Santiago and the camp hospitals turned sadly away, as the motber-in-law joke once more was resurrected for tho early fall and winter season. Washington Post
