himself to all who knew him. The Knights
o. Pytnias, of which Mr.. Virgins was a
1nembei, were in attendance and performed
their last solemn rites. Many beautiful
floral tributes testified to the esteem in
which he was held and included two pill
lows inscribed s'Husband1 and ''Father,"
a large wreath of jack roses from Mrs. j.
3. Brown, on whose estate he had faith
fully labored many years; crescent from
Mr.. McCrumb, also others from J. S.
Douglass and several members of the
family. Mr.. Virgins leaves a wife and
daughter who have the sympathy of a host
of friends in their sad bereavement. He
also has a brother, Fred Virgins of this
city, and sister, Mrs. Charles Morrill, of
California. The interment was at Ever

Her thirteenth year was distressing

o:able discovery that she was ridicu-

time. but tho remarks which she over
heard. and the unwillingness OF certain
trig girls she knew to be seen with
her, confirmed her in the suspicion.
