largest of which is the tree around

smaller trees have disappeared since

struck about the centre of it, cutting
it entirely in two. Mr.. Berry was
Knocked some distance from the

LexinGtOh's Stock Finds a Pur.
chaser.

The Town of Lexington has un.
loaded its holdings of Valley Rail
road stock. Yesterday Mr.. w. G..
Matthews rendered Treasurer s. O.
Campbell draft drawn by the Bal
timOre & Ohio's treasurer for S3. OOO
payable to George W. Stevens, presi-
dent of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail
road, and endorsed by him. Mr.. Mat
thews was paid $500, 10 per cent, by
Treasurer Campbell as his commission
for negotiating the sale.
There is much mystery about the
sale of the stock of both town and
county holdings. Who is after the
road absOrbs much attention. What
other road will it be made part or
parcel? The money paid so far has
been that of the Baltimore and
Ohio. The Baltimore Suns Licking
ton correspondent of Saturday says
that George w. Stevens. president
of the G. IL o., was greatly interested
in the deal. 1t is now alleged that
the Chesapeake e. Ohio will operate
the Valley road, and that the Norfolk
& Western will operate the North
River Branch in connection with the
development of the Shenandoah Val
ley. Such deal comedies with inn
provements now being made at Glas-
gov, Va, where the new oelt line
connecting the G. & o. and N. & w.
roads is being built with great dis
patch which will do away with the
Use of railroad tracks running paral-
ell along North River to Buena Vista
low used separately by both roads.
The statement made several months
go that the Norfolk and Western
Dad expected to run daily train SER
ice into Lexington, gives additional
to the deal.''

CHARLESTON, w. VA, July Z.
DEAR Col. TURK In the last issue
of your paper appears the statement
that | had left the Democratic party,
| am very much chagrined that Won
should make this statement without
finding out from me whether or not
it was true.
The first Democratic speech | ever
made was in 1877 and it was made for
you in your campaign for Prosecut
ing Attorney of Pocahontas county.
and ever since we have made Demo
cratic campaigns along the same line
and under the party organization. |
am peculiarly hurt by your publica-
ton, because your paper circulates
among my friends and my multitudi-
nous kins-people of the Valley of
Virginia, who from time immemorial
have been Democrats under every
vicissitude of personal fortune and
through every defeat of the Demo
cratic party. Hs
tirely loyal to that organization al
though tempted in manner which
comes to but few men in political life.
see no reason to change
my political faith. | believe that at
this time OF all times in the history
OF our country, it should be the duty
OF every good Democrat to stand
unswervingly by his party organiza-
ton. If ever this country needed
party which has enshrined in its be-
ing all of the great good principles of
government of the people, it is at this
time.
Outside of this consideration. there
S another reason why I am peculiar.
y chagrined at your publication.
I there is any creature on the face of |
he earth for whom | have an unmit-
gated contempt it is the poor wretch
Who has left his party in his weak
hess in order that he may stand at
he table where he can get his hand
amidst the loayes and the fishes.
The Republican party down in it's
leart has as absolute contempt for
hat individual as has the honest .un-
iwerving Democrat, who stands in
he ranks of his party, withstand
ng its present defeat.
| hope that you will give this card

ther statement in your issue of last

a contract with A. j. Wray OF Rich
mond, for the erection of a granite
shaft % feet high, in the town of
Buchanan. The dedication or I'M

will cost about 81 100, and all the
money has been raised The stone
will be Chesterfield granite, and will
in part be dedicated to the noble
women of the Confederacy, and will
have the distinction of being among
the first if not the very, first to stand
for so muchof loyalty and sacrifice.
The people of Rockbridge will no
doubt attend the-ceremonies incident
to the unwilling, and ANYTHING that
can be said about it will be of interest.
The Richmond Times of Saturday
gives description of it:
The monument will be modelled
after the Hunter Mcclure shaft in
Hollywood, but will be taller. Its
first base will be FIVE feet ten inches
square and one foot and eight inches in

this, and then the die block and the

Death of Mrs. Fannie L. Peasants

HarrisOnburg Spirit of the Valley.
On last Monday Mrs. Fannie L.
Peasants died at the Western State
Hospital in StauntOn from a stroke
of apoplexy. Her funeral took place
from the Presbyterian church in this
place on Tuesday evening last at
O'Clock, being conducted by the Rev.
DR.. Palmer.
About a year ago Mrs. Peasants
mind was. affected. due in a, large
measure to her failing health, and she
was taken to the Hospital with the
hope that time and the treatment
there would benefit her. Her death
at this time was particularly sad be-
cause there had been an improve
ment lately: and :her children had
hoped that she would soon be restor-
ed to health.
Mrs. Peasants was before marriage
a Miss Showalter, of Rockbridge
county, daughter of the late Samuel
ShOwalter. She was the widow of
Mr.. Walter W. Peasants, a we'll
known railroad man, who died of
typhoid fever in this place eleven
years ago. She leaves two children,
Messrs Ernest and Dorsey Pleas
ants, both of whom are in business in
this place.
