Sarah Virginia Bright. born May
10th. 1852, died August 18th. 1903,

pastor and spiritual adviser. Rev,
A. E. Grover. at the funeral seryi.
ces of that lady. which occurred on
Thursday. the Goth day of August,
1908. the intsrment taking place
that day in Lone Oak Cemetery,
near this place. S.
Mrs. Bright was the youngest
child of John and Mary Bryan
McCulloch. The McCuIloch and
Bryan families of this county are
among the oldest and best families
of the Yirginias. and have always
stood in wealth. business, politics
and social attainments among the
foremost in those States.
On the 18th of May. 1881, the
subject of this sketch was united
in marriage to Jesse j. Bright, SON
of Hon. Jesse d. Bright, a poll
tician and statesman of more than
national repute, and at one time a
U. s. Senator from Indiana. For
a number of years they made their
home in this place. but about ten
years ago removed to Columbus,
Ohio, where they have since re-
sided. and where Mrs. Bright died
at the time above stated. One of
the sad things attending the death
of this most estimable lady is the
leaving without a mothers care
and love, three bright and interest
ing daughters, all of tender age,
viz: Maggie Louise. Marion Nc
Culloch and Georgiana.
Mrs. Bright, before her health
failed her, was no less noted for
her striking beauty and sparkling
wit, than for her sympathy with
those afflicted and in distress.
She was of a retiring and modest
disposition, never seeking to thrust
herself into notice, but was ever
ready to come forward in her kind
less and goodness of heart to assist
in alternating distress and minis
teriug to the wants and necessities
of those anfortur enough to
need help.
As wife and mother she was the
idol of her home. where her loss
will be most deeply and keenly
felt, while her friends and neigh
bors will miss her pleasurable wis.,
its and genial companionship. AS
one of her dear lady friends has
written us, "To know her was to
love her"
She was a member of the Pres
byterian Church of this place, and.
we are assured, died in the full
faith of her Savior's love-"

MONEY DID

In Spite Of Ms Great Wealth
millionaire Gould Not Escape
Annoyance.

Springfield. Mass, Dec. A.--Money was
which OF late have befallen Daniel b.
Wesson. the millionaire revolver manufac-
twer. whose peace OF mind has not here
tofore been seriously disturbed.
Mr.. wesson has always been unalter-
ably opposed TO organized labor. and the
announcement that his employers pro-
posed to unionize his revolver plant and
thereafter take an important part in the
management OF his AFFAIRS was a shock
from which Mr.. Wesson did not quickly
recover He announced that he could live
even II his factory was not IN operation.
The employees. after considering that
Mr.. Wesson's estimated wealth of from
s.. .o0. 600 to 100000 would enable him
10 worry along without making any more
revolvers, decided not TO unionize.
During Mr.. Wessons sojourn at the
resort 20 which he had betaken himself
newspaper publicity was accorded the
divorce suit OF his favorite granddaugh-
ter Mrs. Florence Hoibrook. against
George NJ. Holbrook, son OF George p,
Holbrook. treasurer OF the American
Writing Paper company, commonly called
the trust Mr.. Wesson's granddaughter
received the decree for which she asked.
When Mr.. Wesson returned to Spring
field in midsummer he was accompanied
by a male nurse. Soon afterward news
paper dispatches announced that Mr..
wesson's attendant had been left a for
tune by wealthy man whom he nursed
through a dangerous illness.
The nurse extended the right hand OF
fellowship to the reporters sent TO in
terview him. and into the meshes Of a
marvellous narrative twisted a pretty ro-
nance. The only drawback TO the story,
which had It's scene in Brooklyn. Boston
and Rochester. was that neither the prin-
cipals nor the property could be located
This fact did not prevent the appear
ance at the fashionable Wesson mansion
OF a caravan of promoters of get-rich-
quick schemes and other sure things. .
Mr. Wesson decided that a change OF air
was advisable and left the city.

REV. DEANS
ON MARRIAGE
and DIVORCE
Delivered Interesting Sermon
at RIvsrpsInt Congregational
Church Yesterday.

Rev. John Deans delivered a most in
terasting sermon at the Riverpoint Con-
gregationaI church yesterday morning. his
subject being THE Teaching Of Jesus on
Marriage and Divorce
The speaker spoke OF the attitude of the
Roman Catholic church on the subject
and quoted from the scriptures 10 support
his view Of this much-discussed subject.
Mr. Deans said In part:
when Christ spoke of divorce in this
verse. Matthew xix, 8, He spoke Of 1t In
the legal sense and in what I believe
the fullest sense. For instance. an inno-
cent person seeks redress from a guilty
partner at law and Is separated accord
ing TO law. that is to say the law grants
an absolute divorce, so that the inno-
cent person, as far as the law is con-
cerned, may marry again.
"On the other hand, IL does not follow
that the legal dissolution OF marriage
justihes remarriage. The legal decision
gives RISE in the Christian conscience TO
the further question whether the mar
riage has been broken in the sense In
tended by Christ. Jesus never intended
that men should limit their Christian SER
vice to what the law OF the community
permits.
The Christian system does not consist
or cast-iron system OF laws, put rather
OF germinal principles which entail the
labor and responsibility OF thinking out
as TO their proper application. So that
am prepared 10 grant that the words OF
Jesus imply the permission OF divorce on
proper grounds in the legal sense. fully
and completely and without limitations
OF governors OF this world, but that all
believers in Christ, knowing the mind OF
Christ upon this indissoluble bond. would
refrain. for conscience sake, from that
which the law of man would not ex-
clude him.
the face OF this grave situation which
the church is facing. Is that / see In
the Scriprural results adopted here a
mighty bond OF union OF all churches in
one great campaign against this evil that
assails us and shoots out its vile tongue
at our divided helplessness.
let the Catholic church stand on the
high ground It has practically occupied
throughout it's history, and let her not dis
credit the practical value of her profess
sion by the application of annulments and
Papal dispensauons. Let the Episcopal
church take larger grounds and proclaim
I'm consistency the indissombility OF the
marriage tie.
let Congregationalists, Baptists and
Metfodists and all the brethren of Christ,
OF whatever fold, examine on ther knees
and search in their consciences for the
full light OF heaven, and God will unite
tho faith OF n bond which will snite the
evil-doer with alarm, and adulterer and
adulteress will tremble before the united
pcVer of Gods people as before the very
Judgment Of heaven"
