Sticking to the SIXTIES.

Rather an awkward expression, but
very applicable. The reference is to Mr..
Charles Broadway Rouss, the millionaire
merchant of New York. In the days we'll
known as the wonderful sixties, he was
up and down the valley, soldier in the
Confederate service Last Saturday, he
was OF years of age, and his anniversary
was celebrated by the friends of his youth,
both in Winchester and Charles Town,
with splendid banquets and eloquent
speeches, suitable to the occasion. Mr.
Rouss could not personally attend, but in
spirit and feeling ewas with the old boys
in his older sixties. as solid as he was in
the younger years of the century, so
generally known as the Sixties" Win
chester will erect a bronze bust of him
in the new Rouss City Hall, in memory of
the man and his kindness, so generously,
beautifully and substantially given to, and
placed among thepeople of his old home

me Rouss r1ausoIeum.

From the Winchester s tar of Feb. GIL
Work on the mausoleum which Mr..
Charles Broadway Rouss, of New York.
will erect in Mt. Hebron Cemetery, will
begin shortly. A description OF this
memorial has already been published
and it will be the finest and most costly
private memorial in the South. The
cost will be $4,000.
On yesterday Mr.. HI. Carrick, man
ager of the firm of c. E. Tayntor & Co.,
of New York, the designers of the mau-
solemn, arrived in Winchester and in the
afternoon he visited the Rouss lot in the
cemetery with a view to determining the
site of the mausoleum. This will be
on the north side of the lot with the Rouss
monument in rear.
A railroad track will be laid from the
Baltimore and Ohio's main line so as to
facilitate the handling of the masses of
granite and marble composing the me-
mortal.
The erection of the mausoleum will be-
gin in two weeks and will require about
three months to complete it. To con
struct it will require FIVE skilled workmen,
who will come from the company's quar-
ries, and the balance of the labor will be
obtained in Winchester All the marble
and granite has been carved in New
York and fitted so that it will be necessary
only to put it together when 1t arrives
here. And yet this requires over three
months. Some ideaof the magnitude of
the mausoleum may be gathered from the
fact that there will be 400 tons of granite
used, about 23o tons of marble and about
80 tons of limestone. The general color
of the mausoleum will be like the present
Rouss monument, and it is designed after
the Pantheon at Rome.
Accompanying the mausoleum will be
four handsome tablets for the lot OF Mr..
Charles Timberlake in Mount Hebron.

To Ra prenareh

For war IS the surest way for this nation
to maintain peace. That is the opinion of
the wisest statesmen. tits equally true
that to be prepared for spring is the best
way to avoid the peculiar dangers of the
season This is a lesson multitudes are
learning, and at this time, when the blood
is sure to reloaded with impurities and to
be weak and sluggish, the millions begin
to take Hoods Sarsaparilla, which puri-
fies, enriches and vitaTizes the blood, ex-
pels all disease germs, creates a good ap-
petite, gives strength and energy and puts
the whole system in a healthy condition
preventing pneumonia, fevers, and other
dangerous diseases which are liable to at
attack a weakened system.

and Jefferson are about the only coun-
ties where there is serious trouble from
the presence of the scale, or where it is
likely to become a permanent pest The
