THE NATURAL BRIDGE.

The fact that the Natural bridge
tract is soon to be sold has opened the
way for some writer's to romance about
it.
1t is stated that it was part of the
inheritance of Thomas Jefferson, but
that Is not our information. We have
always thought that Mr.. Jefferson pat
ented the land-i. e., bought it from the
crown at about a shilling an acre.
Mr.. Jefferson and George Washing
ton both were farseeing men and good
judges of land and took up numbers
of valuable tracts. Washington partic-
ularly, owing to his personal knowl-
edge of our western (virginia) lands,
was fortunate in his selections.
Mr.. Jefferson acquired the bridge
tract In 1774. OF the bridge itself he
wrote that 1t was worth trip across
the ocean to see, but for q long time its
inaccesslbility caused it to be seldom
visited, even by our own people. The
construction Of the old James River
and Kanawha canal put 1t near high
way of travel. Later railroad lines
came within few miles of it, and now
thousands visit 1t annually.
Since Jefferson's time the bridge has
had many owners. At one period it be-
longed to the Harman family. Colonel
Henry Clay Parsons bought it. about
1881 and formed stock company to
run" it. His residence there led up to
his death ut the hands of Conductor
Goodman at Clifton Forge on June 90,
1894. To what extent he or his family
held stock in the bridge company at
that time we are not informed, but the
amount held is supposed to have been
derable.-Richmond Dispatch.

The best way to fasten the thread at
the end of sewing machine seam is to
turn back on the seam just sewn and
stitch for half an inch or more. Then
you can cut the thread and not stop to
tie. which takes great deal of time
and is absolutely necessary If you
would not have your thread ripping out
all the time.

OLD FAVORlTES.

Be firm! One constant element in luck
Is genuine, solid. old Teutonc pluck
See yon tall shaft. 1t felt the earthquakes thrill
Chung to its base and greets the sunrise still.
Stick to your aim. The mongrel's hold will slip,
But only crowbars loose the bulldogs grip.
Small as he looks, the jaw that never yields
Drags down the believing monarch OF the fields.
Yet in opinions look not always back.
The wake is nothng-mind the coming track.
Leave what you've done for what you have to do.
Don't be consistent" but be simply true.

FTGGldllQ!
At the subscrip-
ton price of $l.5O per
year the Tribune costs
it's readers less than
one cent a copy.
Think of that !
Less than one
cent a copy! And for
that you get all the
local news, truthfuIly
reported and carefully
written up.
Besides all the
local news, the Tri-
bune gives the news
of the world in a con-
densed form.
Thus the busy
workman can keep in
formed as to what is
going on in the world
without buying any
other paper.
The Tribune is
essentially a neWspa-
per for the home cir
Gle. You can read it
yourself and then turn
it over to your chill
dren without fear of
putting anything OBJ
jeCtionable into their
hands.

DIED IN THE PULPIT
The Fitting End of the. Career of the
Rev. DIR. Gilbert IL. Gregory, of New
York.

New York, September 30.--The Rev.
DR.. Gilbert H. Gregory passed away
today in the presence of his congrega-
Uion at the morning service, in St.
Stephens NJ. E. church, Marble Hill.
at the upper end of Manhattan Island.
Physicians mad urged DR.. Gregory
to retire from active church work, as
he had long been a sufferer from heart
trouble. DR.. Darling, of Kings Bridge,
who was attending DR.. Gregory, warn
ed him yesterday against preaching
today. The clergyman said ito his
physician: Il prefer to meet death in
that way to recurring and Sinking my
duty in order TO live longer"
DIR. Gregory was 63 e. of age.
He had not preached i'm st. Stephens
for three Sundays o. account of heart
attacks, but when word was passed
around that he would resume his du-
ties today the church was filled. The
service had progressed to the singing
of a hymn which precedes the sermon
DR.. Gregory arose and read three vers-
of the hymn, beginning: Love, di-
vine, all love eNcelling."
While the music of the anthem filled
the church Dr.. Gregory was noticed
to seat himself and then fall limp over
one of the arms of the chair, and he
died a few minutes later.
