OBITUARY.

On the evening of November 22nd.
1902, the Angel OF Death came and
Claimed as Its victim the spirit Of Rich
ard Thomas Ingram, aged "a years, Q
months and days, beloved husband OF
Julia Ingram. In that solemn hour God
saw tit to take this dear one with Him.
Ii 1t had been our will we would have
had IL different, but He who Is wisest
doeth all things for the best. Thy will
be done, o God.
Dearest husband, thou hast gone
Lett my heart all crushed and lone.
Oh, l am so sad without thee, dear.
Where'er go is lone and drear.
How do miss thee, my dearest one,
since thou hast gone, home is not home.
II is so sad and lonely here
Since you have left me in despair.
1 have not long to sorrow here--only a
few years
And will be with thee where there are
no tears.
80 will not murmur since / know It's
the hand of God
That has caused me 10 pass meath the
Christening rod.
But hope to meet thee on that shining
shore,
Where sickness aud death can come no
more;
There we Will be forever blest;
There with Jesus we'll sweetly rest.

Mr.. George w. Perkins, the busi-
ness associate of j. Pierpont Morgan,
in an address delivered in Chicago
made the following statement:-
"Too many young men in this country
don't want to work hard. They prefer
to take things easy-stay up late at mig ht
and lie abed too long in the morning.
They never can get ahead In that way.
Times and conditions may change but
the old rule remains that there is no
success without everlastinely keeping at
It,"
Every word uttered by Mr.. Perkins
'is as true as gospel. For sometime
past we have becu trying editorially,
and otherwise. to arouse the young
men of Virginia from their lethargy.
We have some young men who by
their energy and perseverance are
making their mark in the world, but
large number still pass away their
time sitting around and waiting for
something to "turn up"
The young men who succeed to-
day must work. Their fathers worked
to secure success and they too must
work.-Free Lance. s.

A ROAD MOVEMENT.

Rev. f. w. Claybrook Takes
up the Subject In a Practical
Way.
DEAR CITIZEN:
have been long thinking of the
road question and believe 1t is per-
fectly practical to work the whole
county under system that will give
as good roads without taxing the
people one dime more than they are
taxed at present.
Ny plan is for supervisors to buy
ten mules, two of which might be
kept on the poor house farm to
make provender for the full force.
Get a full outfit; have eight mules to
work the roads, one manager, and
four hands With mules aud outfit to
be out on roads at work from the
hrss of April to the first of October.
Have wagon with tent, and camp
near the work and keep at it during
working season and believe that in
three years we win have almost per-
feet roads.
70 From my knowledge of the county
q good machine, two wheel scoops
and heavy road roller could work
nearly all the roads in the county.
There are few clay places that
could be provided with double track.
IA twenty foot road bed could be
thrown up on these roads on one
side, to be used nearly all the year,
while a poled road bed of ten feet
alongside would be of service during
winter. These poled roads will last
10 years and can be made so as to
pass over without much jar.
We have 81, $4,000 annual tax now
for road purposes. Let us see if we
can't use this fund and pay all ex-
penses with it and have better roads
than we have now

killed one day last week 1876 ducks
at one shot. They are plentiful
along the Rarpahannock and on the
various creeks, but the slaughter at
the hands of men, using small sized
cannon for shooting purposes is cal
culated to thin their ranks in a very
short time.

who killed u hog weighing over
eleven hundred pounds last year,
slaughtered two this week that
weighed, respectively, OIL and 1,O6O
pounds each. Several thousand peo-
pie witnessed the killing, and many
thousands of dollars changed hands

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old,
fashioned remedy for con.
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and Ioc
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumPtive needs
most.
SCOTS sEmulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scost's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

MIR. COLEs's CLAssMATE.

"AAss SOLEo'S CLASSM ATE
There is still a great deal of gossip
about the manner in which the as
sistant district attorneys office has
been shunted. It develops that
Malcolm A. Coles has been slated
for the Office twice because of the
friendship Of Secretary Cortelyou.
They were classmates at Columbia
University together. and there
formed warm friendship which is
manifested in the interest Secretary
Cortelyou is taking in the advance
ment of Mr.. Coles. Meantime Coles
has fitted himself for career at law
and is anxious to begin to practice.
de wishes to begin with an assured
income. . But Hanna aud Scott, both
senators, have great interest in Miller
and they reminded the president that
Miller was in the office here and they
wished him to stay. That interfer-
ence seems to have been effective for
the second time in favor of Miller
and against Coles, who wants the
Job that suits him, as Miller wants
the same job for the same reasons

MYSTERY INVOLVES SHOOTING.
Louis Wertheimer, Wealthy Merchant,
Shot by Former EmpIoye.


Shot by Former EmpIoye.
New York, April 28.-Leepold Weir
theimer, a wealthy dry goods mer-
chant, was shot three times in his
home in West One Hundred and F'if-
teenth street early today He was
wounded in the chest, arm and right
side, and is in a serious condition.
Charged with the shooting the police
have arrested Joseph Simpson, 80
years old, of East One Hundred and
Twenty-first street. The injured man
is 32 years old and a member of the
firm of Aaron & Weirtheimer, dry
goods merchants who recently were
burned out at their place Of business
in Third avenue.
Simpson, the police say, was en-
ployed there as a watchman prior to
the fire. At the time of the fire two
persons were burned to death.
The motive for the shooting is a mys-
terry both to the police and the Weir
theimer family, and Simpson, who was
very cool when arrested. refused to
make any statement. Since the fire
Weirtheimer has not been engaged in
any business. The firm discharged
its employees, including Simpson. but
he got work as a motorman. A week
ago he lost that position He had a
long talk with Mr. Weirtheimer and
the family think Simpson wanted
money. The latter returned to the
Weirtheimer home at an early hour
today and the shooting occurred in the
hallway of the house, after which
Simpson walked away and later was
arrested.

ELEVEN KILLED IN CRASH.

Buffalo, Kans., April 28.-A north
bound Missouri Pacific stock train
crashed into the rear end of a work
train just north of this town last eve-

injured. Ten of the latter are serious.
ly and four probably fatally hurt. They
were Greeks and Italians, excepting
one, Peter Fry, an American, who
has lived here several years, and was
a boss on the work train. The cause
of the wreck is given as misreading
of orders.
The work train consisted of fiat cars
and caboose, all filed with laborers.
The men on the fiat cars escaped by
jumping, but hardly man in the ca.
boose escaped. The work train was
backing into town for the night and
was running at good rate of speed.
The heavy freight engine did not leave
the track, but plowed the work train
off the track, leaving little of it ex.
