Obituary.

The pail of gloom and sadness
that rested upon our village grows
yet more dark, for Friday morning,
April 27, the death angel was per-
mitted to come into another happy
home, and now our friend and
Brother, Mr.. Geo. T. Webb, mourns
the loss of beloved wife. Four lit
tie boys, Guy, Carl, Gerald and
one a few days old also little girl,
Iris, are motherless. We stand and
wonder why! Oh why! is it thus?
But it has been said truly, "Our God
makes no Mistakes" and the poet
has written:
deep in unbelievable mines
Of never failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs
And works his Sovereign will"
1t is ours to bow without MUIR
muring to the workings of his di-
vine hand,
For the bud may have bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower"
Good is his own interpreter and
he Will make 1t plain.
Could the anxious solicitudes of a
loving husband, father and mother,
the constant and unceasing efforts
of the sympathising physicians, Drs.
Cock, Rhea and Roberts, the minis
trations of kindred ones, of friends
and neighbors, have stayed the APP
proach of the dread messenger, then
the body of Mrs. Flora May Webb
would not now be sleeping calmly
in the Mt. Moriah Cemetery beside
her first born little Edwin Laverne.
Mrs. Webb, daughter of Mr.. Ed
win and Mrs. R. l. Babcock, of An
ma, H., was born July 18th, 1866,
was married to Mr.. Geo. T. Webb
Oct. 10th, 1889. Removed with
him to Whiteville, Tenn, in 1892,
where she has since lived respected
and beloved for the many virtues
and graces that adorned her private
life, but it was in the home circle
that those graces shone forth more
brightly. 1t was here that her
busy hands were ever active in pro-
viding for the comfort, twas here
that her voice was ever speaking
tenderest words Of counsel to
soothe the ills of her dear ones God
had entrusted to her guidance.
Brother Webb, now that those
hands are folded in rest, that voice
hushed to silence, keep ever fresh
in their minds a remembrance of
her motherly counsels to guide their
little footsteps into paths of right
eousness and peace and may the
God of all grace override this sad
bereavement to the good of husband,
father, mother, brother, sister, and
all who loved Der is the prayer of
her friend and neighbor,

M section of the State that can boast
of q greater number of strong men imam
this.
Hon. r. Tate Irvine, of Big Stone Gap,
ex-member of the House OF Deiega'es,
from Wise county, and one OF the most
distinguished lawyers in the southwest
has been chosen as the Democratic ch'eA-
tain for the Ninth District
Mr. irvine is a native of Kentucky, ana
brings with him many of the splendid gifts
as a public speaker, for which the sons
of the old Blue Grass State have long peen
famous.
He is a graduate of the University OF

Visitors of that institution
As~STRONG PARTY LEADER.
+ Mr.. Irvine is a man of wide personal &C
.uuaintance and popularity, and for some
time past has been prominent bsure M
Sthe affairs Of the Democratic party IN the
State.
The people of the Ninth District enjoy
good political speaking. and with Judge
Rhea and Mr.. Irvine on the stump our
there this year, they will have the pleas
nre of listening to some as fine as can
be produced.

Tenth is the Hon Pembroke Petit, the
tall sycamore of "Old Fiuvanna-
Mr.. Petit may. be very justly termed
the Democratic idol Of his county, and
is deservedly popular throughout the en-
tire district.
He is Commonwealth Attorney of Flu
wanna; member of the House OF Dele
gates, and also of the State Board OF
Fisheries.
Mr.. Petit has served his people with
marked ability many times before in the
Legislature, having been elected to the
Senate when he was quite young man.
In the last House he made a gallant
fight for more liberal pensions to the old
soldiers and thus placed himself very
close to their hearts.
A NARROW DEFEAT.
He was for a lonS time reading clerk
in the National House Of Representatives
and two years ago came within IL votes
OF capturing the Democratic nomination
for Congress in his district, having re-
ceived as high as 81 votes on one bal
lot when it required but SO to nominate.
The nomination for elector was given Mr..
Petit by reclamation at Norfolk, and he
will enter upon his duties with the prestige
of long prominence in Democratic poll
tics behind him.
He is a favorite stumper i'll the dis
trict and his speeches always briSte
with timely anecdotes and sparkling hui
NOR.
There seems to be some little doubt at
present whom the '.shoe-string district"
Democrats will nominate for Congress,
but whom he may be, will find in the Hon.
Pembroke Petit an able and faithful
champion, and a man who. while discharg-
ing his duties as elector, will at the same
time prove of infinite value in helping
to land Democratic Congressman from
the district.

It is feasible way for the people of the Salt River valley to obtain-what they sadly need-more water for irrigation purposes, and it would be a practical demonstration of what the people of that valley demand the government shall do for that section.

and 1000 gondolas, making a total Of
5000. While all the bids have not

about the latter cars a high official of

TELEGRAM FROM ELMIRA.
Requisition Paper Applied for to
Remove Philip McManus.

Chief of Police Robling yesterday
afternoon received telegram from Ell
mira, asking him to hold Philip Nc
Manus. alias Frank Sloane, the paroled
prisoner at the Elmira reformatory
who broke the parole. and was last
week arrested here with George Davis,
on suspicion, while attempting to dis
pose of an amount Of jewelry which
McManus since confessed to be stolen.
The telegram was from Acting Super
intendent Of the Reformatory Frank
w. Robertson, and read as follows:
I'VE want McManus. Will send war;
rant, If you can hold him until we get
requisition papers,"
1t will take a few days before these
are secured, and the Elmira author
tiles will then call for Mr.. McMnnus,
and 1t is doubtful whether he will be
given any further opportunities OF
breaking his parole. The identity OF
the other man, who says his name Is
Davis, remains completely enveloped in
mystery.
