Beautiful Memorial Window.

The memorial window which Colonel A
]. May has placed in the Methodist
church in memory of bis lately departed
wife, is very pretty work of art 1t was
made in Philadelphia under the supervis
ion of Mr.. Henry Wickham, who was
formerly superintendent of the Southwest
Virginia Improvement Company and
who is a particular friend of COL May
The window is Gothic in design. At the
top point in the centre there is the figure
of dove in flight. A short distance be-
low the dove, and at the sides, are two
vases, in each of which is lilly with foil
iage and full bloom. Still further down
is a wreath, with roses for the central de-
sign. In the wreath is the inscription: "And
now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three, but the greatest of these is charity
4 short distance below the wreath is beau
tiful scroll in which is written: "In mem.
DRY of life well spent" At the base OF
the window there is handsome PANEL in
which is inscribed: May Matilda May,
beloved wife of A. j. May; born A. D.,
1881, died A. D., 1901" The memorial
is a very beautiful and appropriate one.

Man Killed In Thompson Valley.

On last Friday morning news was
brought to town that Vim. II. Mallory
had been found dead in the road near the
house Of j. H. Saunders, in Thompson
Valley. 1t was also reported that he had
been killed by Ezekiel Jones. Both of
the men bad been employees of Adams
Bros, who run lumber business at the
head of Thompson Valley. The men had
been to a still house. 1t is supposed
they got into difficulty, which resulted
in the shooting to death of Mallory and
the flight Of Jones. The killing occurred
on Thursday night.
On Friday an inquest was held, the fol.
lowing citizens acting as jurors: G. F.
Scott, Dan Thompson, Henry THOMPSON,
6. o. Thompson, w. Archie Thompson,
Charles Pickett. The inquest was presid.
ed over by H. g. Peery, justice of the
peace. The following verdict was return.
ed: "We believe from the evidence that
VIM. H. Mallory came to bis death, Aug.
LIST, 1901. near the gate leading from the
lot in front of j. Fl. Saunders house into
the road, by pistol shots In the hands Of
Ezekiel Jones'"
1t is supposed that Jones fed imme.
diateiy to West Virginia, as he is native
of that State, and has not been seen since
the killing. There YVES no witness to the
tragedy, but the men had been seen to.
gether short time before it occurred, at
the store of K. B. Peery & Co.

Letter TO ]. D. Alexander,
TdzeUeH, Va.

Dear Sir: Ira Gould, painter in Cole
brook, n. H., bought of our agent there
Wesley Wentworth, 4 gallons of paint
thnned it down with two gallons of oil
and gave his own house one coat.
Every painter in town declared he had
painted two coats.
That's all far the story goes" as Un-
Gle Remus says. We don't know whether
it made good job or not; but the painter
thought it did. We should call it printing.
May be the house didn't need painting.
A printing coat Is enough if put on often
enough
But if Ira Gould had set out to do US a
favor he couldn't have done much better.
One printing coat of Devoe is enough to
make painters say, Hes been painting
two coats; and wants us to think he has
done it with one, and that half oil No
thank you"
We don't know Mr.. Gould but we know
Mr.. Wentworth. Guess the story is
straight.
Yours truly,
Al +. w. DEvoE & Co

AmerIcantsms and BritIeisims.

The question whether he English Ian
guage IS simply the language spoken in
England. CT can be considered TO include
expressions and words peculiar TO this
side OF the Atlantic, IS one which was
considerably more discussed twenty five
years ago than It IS now Both Americans
and Englishmen have nov settled down TO
al amicable agrGsment not 10 grow acri-
monIous over the matter.
There Is a phrase OF it. however, which
has never been depicted in all its uncon-
scious humor. English journalists and
critics have always been quick to accuse
american writer's Of not using pure En-
glish- If q lUckles5 American, IN a care

glish ma gaines. or give 10 some express
sion meaning peculiarly American. he
WIS Immediately and severely criticised.
But there is a reverse to the picture.
English noveIists have frequently, in re
cent years, introduced American char
acters into their books They have ap-
pareatly enjoyed the picturesqueness, En-
conventionality and pIquancy OF what
they conceive to be American talk. and
have taken pains 10 introduce IN the
speech of their characters phrases which
they believed characteristic in "the
States II has been frequently notzd by
American reviewers that these phrases
were oftE4 iumbled IN most surprising
way, people from New York mixing the
slang Of Boston. Virginia. and New Mex
leo in their talk And that is not all.
Perhaps as fair an example Of the
american character in an English book as
ran be found IN recent literature is that
depicted in White Heather by the late
William Black. IL this book an American
millionaire and his daughter, travelling
ia The Highlands, are introduced as two
OF the principal characters. and there is
necessarily great deal Of their COL
yersation. So far as the nature a1d
mental habits Of the two people are con
cerne1. Mr.. Black has done very we'll,
his native genius for the portrayal Of
humEu nature having aided him to make
Miss Hodson and her father Iifelike in
appearance and behavior Il is in their
talk that his ideas become mixed He has
clevcrIy avoided one pitfaH in making the
daughter one Of those mischievous lasses
who pGTposely use all sorts of slang in
their talk so that ne accounts for her
