Talk

Two young men were talking
earnestly on a street corner as they
waited for a car. II tell you," said
one impatiently, that what we
need to do is to talk to people. Get
them interested; wake them up;
show them that they can take hold
of our city politics just at this point
and do much good. 1t isn't that
they don't really care; but they
don't know all that they might do
they're ignorant, they're not stirred
up. We must talk, agitate, explain
keep them thinking about It.
Acting will come afterwards, but
the talking is needed first. Have
a meeting; let everybody take a
part. Then let some OF Us follow 1t
up by seeing this..man and that, and
and stirring him up"
Eyes, that's the best way" re-
piled the other. Nothing will ever
be done until we begin to agitate
the matter thoroughly and stead
ily."
It certainly sounded reasonable
vet when the pastor of one of these
Young men, asked him a few days
later, to take part In young men,
meeting the answer was remarkably
different.
"Why, DOCTOR" he said with EN-
phasis, II don't know that I alto
gether approve of such meetings
They're apt to be just talk. Yo1
get people stirred up and excited
but of personal appeal, and this
we'll, religion that isn't what relig
ion means. This sort agitation
does not commend itself to m
mind. I think you will have to ex
cuse me from taking part In It,"
Then the strangest part OF 1t wa
that these remarks seemed as res
sonable, to the speaker, as hi
( former ones made on the street col
: ner. Yet where was the differenc
lin principle between the propt
courses In both cases? Surely,
the first remarks were wise, th
a second were extremely foolish; "
r are not those same Disappearing n
o marks familiar to Our ears! We a
are creatures of ex' uses, but woul
: 1t not be we'll, at least. for ouI e.

No More Pay Orders.

For years the Southern Pacific has been accepting and paying or ders issued by employees against the payroll for such necessities of life as meal tickets. The company has concluded that its employees ought to take care of their own money and pay their own way, and so Superintendent Sroufe has issued an order notifying employees and others interested that orders against the pay roll will no longer be ac- cepted by the company. Appreciat- ing that men who are broke may go to work for the company, and that in order to do good work they must eat this order does not cover the first sixty days man works for the company. During this time orders from him will be accepted, but after he has had a pay day he will have to pay his own bills.

Mr.. McMurran, who was p years
of age, was born near Shepherdstown,
on the farm now owned by John G.
Licklider. He was of Scotch-Irish
descent. His grandfather. Joseph
McMurran, was native of Scotland,
but during the Protestant prosecutions
in that country was driven with his
family 10 the north Of Ireland. He
was man Of education and ability,
and became a member Of the British
Parliament, where he served with dis
tiDction. Somewhere between 1850
and ITS he emigrated to America,
and bought large tract OF land from
Lord Fairfax in this county, Including
the rich lands lying in the neighbor-
hood of Uvilla and Moler:s. His son,
Joseph McMurran, father of the SUBJ
iect of this sketch, lived in that local
ity, and was one of the wealthiest and
most prominent residents of this mel h-
bornood. He served in the Legisla.
ture of Virginia and held other public
Offices of honor and trust He was
greatly respected and looked up to by
the people He was man Of un-
bounded charity and kindness of
heart, and his generosity was his f.
nancial undoing, for he lost nearly all
his fortune by going security for his
friends and neighbors. Prof. Joseph
McMurran was one of a family of
nine children, six of whom died in
their youth. There are now left but
two of the family. Mr.. James McMur-
ran, of Bristol, Va, and Miss Louisa
McMurrau, of Shspherdstown. de
was never married. The family was
always noted for their high moral
character and intelligent aPprehen-
sion of the right, and their sturdy
