The Scared Veterans"

Mr.. E. B. Lipscomb who attended
the Loudoun county camp meeting
during his visit to his old home, says
the joke of the meeting was on Rev.
SydnOr G. Ferguson, one of Mosby 3
men, and noted as the capturer Of
the famous Yankee General Blazer.
Brother Ferguson who likes to preach
to the old veterans, undertook to get a
good congregation of them by adver-
Using the day. He had lot of hand
bills printed and brought to the camp
grounds and stuck up all round the
country and directed that the head
line in big type should read "A sermon
to the Scared Veterans" His feel
ings can be imagined when he walked
up to read his poster tackled on tree
and read that his sermon was for the
''Sarced Veterans" Everybody except
the veterans were laughing and their
remarks sounded nightly like old time
war talk before they Joined the church.
Their language was strong and as
Brother Ferguson could not get all
around to explain before preaching
time, he had a very slim soldier au.

Long Meadows" and claimed as it's
| victim their bright and charming niece,
| Miss Ethel Gorden Critzer. For TWEEN

all the strength of youth and vigor
against a most obstinate case of ty-
phoid fever. All that kind hearts and
medical skill could do in her behalf did
not avail to stay the death sentence
ISIS Critzer was popular and highly
esteemed as christian lady.
She was an active and efficient mem
Der of the Lutheran church, and al
ways ready and willing to assist in
any work pertaining to the interest of
the church.
Having been educated at Bethany
parochial school of the Missouri Sy nod,
near Wayneshoro, Va, and still later
in Kee-Mar College, [Hagerstown, Nd,
she was possessed of more than ordi-
nary culture and refinement, eminently
fitting her for high and useful sph ere
in life.
The funeral service was conducted
by the pastor, Rev s. L. Keller, assist
ed by Rev L A. Fox, D. D., of Roam
oke College.
The beautiful floral tributes and the
large congregation that assembled on
Sunday morning in st. James church,
testified to the high esteem in which
she was held in the community at large. |
The relatives have the sympathy of a !
host of friends in their sad af1iiction.

1t is stated in the Army and Navy
journal that when the 25th infantry
was about to leave Manala in July it
was discovered that about fifty of the
men had Filipino wives who they
were trying to desert. BY order of Gen.
Caffee these men were summarilY dis
charged without honor, and several
others who had applied for transport
tation for their native wives, which
could not be furnished, were discharg-
ed at their own request and they re-
manned to become willing citizens of
the new territory.
In the colOred regiments there was
quite large nun Der married to the
native women and in view of the fact
that they tried to desert their wives
and come back to the United States
with their returning regiments, the
War Department issued an order that
a soldier who attempts such desertion
may be held guilty of conduct preju
dicial to discipline and be dropped
from the service. This order is opera
tive with both white and colored and
thus the number of Philippine citizens
will increase in quantity if not IN quail
