Lynchburg, called attention to the fact
that StOnewall Jackson Camp was at
the head of the list of the 121 camps in
the State in securing new members,
dur ing the year, having reported 81.
Last year there were 38 additions to
the camp, making in Is months 100,
who had been attracted to the organi-
zation, mainly by the good offices of
the Daughters Chapter of this city
who offered Crosses of Honor to all

The McCue Murder Case.

Grand Jury. J. F. Harlan, across the
back of the Indictment drawn by Com
monwealth s Attorney Frank Gilmer.
The jurymen returned to thGr seats
at lis p. M, Monday, and the decision
was read.
Ex-May0r J. Samuel McCue is thus
indicted for the murder, On Septem Der
4th of this year of his wife. Fannie M.
McCue, and will be arraigned as soon
as the grand jury finishes the cases
now before it. When he was arraigned
the next day in the corporation court
and the Indictment read to him, h e
broke down and wept convulsively,
keeping his face In his handkerchief.
1t is believed that the case will be
continued until the October term of
the court, the third Monday.
There is small reason to suspect
change of venue. A change of venire
is certain.
A panel of sixteen men probably will
be drawn from some other city or
county and this may operate to delay
immediate trial.
An untruthful statement that his
pastor, DIR. Il. L. Petrie has not called

Mrs. Herbert Mex eden Smith.

| On tuesday, the 10th inst, about
P. NJ, Mrs. Herbert McKelden Smith
departed this life in this city after an
illness which began on the 31st of July
last. aged u years. Before marriage
she WAS Miss Ida Morgan Glover OF
Berryville, Va, daughter of the late
| John Brazer and Catherine Eugenla
Glover. She was married on Feb. 1st,
1898, to Mr.. Smith, and since that time
they have resided principally in Stann-
ton. where both we're very popular.
Her death was one of the saddest
that has ever occurred here and has
cast gloom over the entire commu
nifty. In the bloom of womanhoOd.
beautiful in person and character,
loving and beloved, buoyant with
hope, full of those virtues, which ex
alt, that sweetness of character which
charms, that grace, which carries
with it perpetual sunshine, gentle
and charitable, she impaired to those
about her the same feeling of Joy which
she herself drew from life, and which
animated her every action. Few who
ever came into this community had in
so short time gathered about them
such devoted circle of friends, or had
more sincere and ardent admirers.
Truly of her it could be said, 'In her
tongue was the law of kindness, and
strength and honor we're her clothing"
For some time her condition had
been alarming, but her youth and
strength had caused her friends to
hope that she might still be spared to
them for life of usefulness. But
they hoped against hope and as the
evening shadows heightened amid the
tears of her loved ones, her gentle spirit
passed away. She is survived by her
husband, mother and one sister,
Mrs. Montague Stevens of New York,
both of whom had been with her for
some weeks, and by four brothers,
Thomas, Eugene, Elliott and Lewis.
The funeral took place from EN-.
manuel Episcopal church of which
she was member, at 4 o'clock on the
22d, the Rev. 8. r. Bailey officiating.
The church was crowned to overflow
ing, and the services were solemn and
The floral tributes were

sang with deep feeling. LEAD Kindly

taken to Thornrose Cemetery where
