A dispatch from Winchester, Va,
says:

or the mOulds and the sun anl the wind
and the dew"
From the corner OF country wet ky
of Vireiria comes the news that big
Doc" is dead, snd through the Valley
OF Virginia there will be men and wo-
men aud children who will say "GOd
rest his SOUL" for "Big Doc" was an
umbrella mender of a nature that kept
mis- eyes lit with the spirit of kiodlin ess,
his words cheerful and his heart mel
low and true.
For years and years "BiR Docn | as
walked through the pleasant pastures
and green fields of the Valley goi0g
from house to house to mend old
fashioned parschutes and make friends
or to yearly renew old acquaintances.
He was known all through the State, and
there is not human in the whole of
the Old Dominion that can say aught
against him.
He was found dead several weeks
ago in a barn near Winchester, where
he had received permission Ito pass the
night. The cause of his death is no,
known. He was found lying in the hay
with his kit of tools near bis body jusl
IS be had lain down to sleep. Twenty
five dollars were found 10 his pockets
so that there was no suspicion OF his
having been murdered for purposes OF
robbery. Beside there wa no mark
anywhere on his person.
"Big Doc" never told bis right name,
although il is known that once he was
a prosperous hotel proprietor in New
Jersey. He had trouble with his wife
and family, and being man loving
peace and caring little for prosperity
except where II brought him peace. be
decided to cnt loose from all who knew
him and take to the road.
He became a tramp of the harmless
kind and learned how to mend um'
brelas. When be struck the Valley be
found the beauty of the country to his
liking. He found that the children did
not run from him because his clothes
were ragged and dirty, and he found
the housewives willing to give him
food and drink when he did his work
well. He never left the Valley but
spent all his years as a wanderer with
n its hospitsbe borders.
1t was Big Docs boast that IN all OF
his years as transient VirgiDian he
had never been arrested or accused
of conduct unbecoming a gentleman.
The children grew to count on his com
Jog as they did for kite flying time,
O. tag time or any other season dear
to childish hearts. Big Doc loved them
for their love and would spend his
working hours telling them stories as
the family parachutes were patched
and put in shape for the next rainy
spell.
He was, moreover, fine looking old
fellow and strong OF limb and never
with complaint. He loved the skies
and the woods and the open road and
was considered part of outdoor life
He was as much of the open air as the
leaf of tree or the branch OF a ga y
ling. He whistled invariably as he
walked from town to town and smiled
when he lay down by brook to glance
at the heavens through the veil OF
green that shaded him from the sum-
| rays.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
Iized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
