In all the world there has been no man
who has done bis whole duty through a
long and busy life more thoroughly than
John B. Gordon AS Confederate sol
der be was the bravest of the brave and
won the applause Of the men on both
sides Of that wonderful war
After the war there was long time
when General Gordon represented nearly
the whole South in the Senate of the
United States. He was recognized as
the representative not only of Georgia,
but of Alabama. who had two Federal
soldiers in the Senate, both strangers and
unfriendly. and Of South Carolina, who
was even worse off in the Senate.
All this comes to mind when Georgia
wants to put statue of Gordon in the
statuary room Of the Capitol at Washing
ton, where each State is entitled to two.
The law does not permit the statue of a
living man in the hail. or Georgia would
put Gordon there now. thus giving him
an honor no other man ever had,
Gordon has been soldier and states
man and a patriot all his life. and Geor-
gia honors herself in honoring him.

uncle of Messrs. II. l.. and Frank Z.
Ronemus OF this place, was walking on
the railroad track between Dutfields aud
Shenandoah Junction few days ago,
when train going west came up behind
him. Mr.. Ronemus stepped to another
track upon which second train. was
seen approaching. He quickly got out
of its way by walking to a third track,
and was scarcely upon it when a third
train came up from the direction of Har-
per's Ferry. The noise from the other
trains prevented him from hearing the
one on the track where he was walking,
and a frightful accident was averted only
by the engineer instantly reversing his
engine and bringing it to stop within
ten feet Mr.. Ronemus, who was until
then oblivious of this last most imminent
danger.
