ThOS. M. Nelson,

luUN. III. NtlNUu.
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Nelson, of
Boyce, died suddenly of typhoid
fever early Monday morning, aged
53 years, after an illness of about
ten days.
In the death of Mr.. Nelson the
COURIER feels a personal loss. This
paper was founded by his father,
Capt. William n. Nelson, and was
ably edited by him. Since the
death of Captain Nelson the son
has taken a great personal interest
in the welfare and success of the
paper, even though in other hands.
When the present editor took
charge of the COURIER Thomas NJ.
Nelson was the first man to come
forward and extend a wish for
success, and on his every trip to
Berryville since that time he has
stopped to say a kind word and
inquire as to our success. He has
offered to do everything in his
power to assist us, and requested
us to call upon him at any time
that he could be of service.
Every person who has ever
known Mr.. Nelson will feel the
same regret as though they had
been a relative.
He was one of the most courtly
and courteous gentlemen whom we
have ever met.
\ man of cheerful yesterdays
and confident tomOrrows.
In speaking of his death the
Winchester Star says: Personal
ly, Mr.. Nelson possessed all the
attributes that go to make up a man.
He was generous, highminded,
sincere and courageous, his tenn
perament was sunny and his char
acter moulded upon lofty lines. He
was devoted husband and father.
loyal friend and lOvable comrade.
In his unexpected death, Virginia
has lost a chivalric. courteous and
accomplished gentleman, the Coun-
ty of Clarke one of her most valu-
ed and esteemed citizens and his
family and friends one on whom
was lavished wealth of love and
affection.
MIR. Nelson was descendant of
the Byrd and Carter families, and
was nearly related to the families
most prominentin Virginia history
for the past two hundred years.
He is survived by his widow.
who was Miss Atkinson, of Balti-
more, one son, William y. Nelson.
and two daughters, Misses Adelaide
and Mary Nelson. Two sisters
also survive him, Mrs. Eliza Wool
folk, of Clarke county, and Mrs.
Evelyn Turpin, of Macon, Ga.
The funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon from Christ Church at
Millwood, the Rector, Rev. Edward
II. Ingle, officiating.
The remains were Inferred in the
family plot in Old Chapel Gem
etery.
Hundreds of people from all
parts of the neighboring country
attended the funeral, and the con-
course which followed the remains
to the grave was the largest ever
seen in Clarke county.

No Protection for Beaver.

Beavers will not be protected af-

Game W arden Iorns called atten-

the subject and had looked the mat

Boise Statesman.
Beavers have been protected for
number of years. The last law on
the subject was approved March Is,
1899. 1t provided that none of the
animals should be killed for five
years thereafter. Mr.. Iorns says
there has been a great increase in
the number of beavers since they
We're protected and they have be-

BLACK DIAMONDS.
Ara Found OaIy in Brazil, and Are
 Worthy $40 a Carat.

The black diamond Is an important article of commerce, not because 1t is destined to embellish the hand of fem mine grace, but because of the fact that 1t has been widely applied in in- dustry, where it is almost as valuable as its white fellow. The home of the black diamond is Brazil. the classical land of the diamond. the richest beds of the mineral having been found in the province of Bahia and on the banks and in the bed of the Sac Jose River. The stone, which is perfectly opaque. is not beautiful and if the magical word diamond had never been applied to the substance there is no doubt that to this day the black diamond would be a thing unknown. However, the favor which this mineral enjoys is of very recent date for twenty years ago it's properties were unknown and the trade in the stone was practically nothing.
 The constantly increasing perfection of boring instruments brought out the value of the black diamond. the use of diamond point drills now having be- come SO general that the price of the mineral has in consequence rapidly in- creased. Today the diamond has be- come of prime necessity in working tempered metals, saving of marbles.
