The death of Harry Cook. aged ~
years. son of Mr.. and Mrs. lanes Cook,
Bolivar, who died June "a. deserves more
than passing notice. He was sober
and industrious, and was respected by
everyone. In his last moments, when
visited by the minister who conducted
the funeral services. he expressed a will
lingness to die. and the sweet prayer of
his good friend bore his soul to Heaven.
The order of Jonadabs, to which he be-
longed. attended his funeral in a body,
from the M. E. Church to Harper Gem
etery, Rev. G. r. Wood conducting the
services. His sorrowing family-moth-
er, sister. brothers and father-have the
blessed assurance that they can go to
him and dwell with him forever in that
world where sorrow and sickness never
enter.

Tom BY shot and shell. ripped ~ minis
balls. riddled BY grape and canister and
rent almost in twain by cannon balls. but
still the Stars and Bars, flag under
which hundreds died. one of the most
treasured relics Of the reunion is in the
possession Of the men Of the old Stonewall
brigade. Jackson's own men. and they are
proud of its tattered condition. The flag
hardly resembles flag. it is 50 riddled.
but to the men from Virginia it is their
fondest possession.
c. Frank Gallaher. Adjutant of John
w. Rowan Camp. spread out the flag on
Fourth avenue car Yesterday morning.
Handle it tenderly. friends. 1t is
sacred to u.s." he said. as he passed it
back over the seats to the men and women
who were eagerly reaching forth to touch
1t.
/" Let me hold it in my hands," cried
one woman. with tears in her eyes. Il
is the symbol of the bravest men who
ever fought. and | am proud just to lay
hands on it."
Hardly person of the number on the
crowded car but who touched the flag and
the incident attracted more attention
than anything that happened during the
morning. Miss Hack the pretty sponsor
for Virginia camp. was with the veter.
an who had the flag. and she was as
proud of it as were the veterans. The
flag was spread out, after it had been ex
ahmed by all those on the car, and two
women assisting the veterans, it wa.
rolled up as carefully as if its folds were
made of the most costly fabric.
The old flag was carried by the Stone
wall brigade, under Stonewall Jackson
all during the war. and it was in the hot
test of the fighting at all times. The
men who fought under its folds were tn,
pick of Jackson's men. and on them fel
the brunt of the fighting. It was witt
the brigade when their leader fell a
Charlottesville. and it led them after
wards, through to the end, AS evldenc'
of how hot was the fighting and how clos
the men went to the firing line. the fai
was burned in several places where tn
fash OF the powder had set it on fire.

week by the Carnival just across the
bridge. The first two nights of the week
the rain interfered. but since then large
crowds have been in attendance. So far
as we have been able to see the show Is
clean. good and meritorious. There are
no skin games, obscene exhibitions or
anything of the sort, and the manage
ment is clever. polite and gentlemanly.
Many of the attractions are particularly
good Waynesboro virginian.

The Fourth Sixty-five Years Ago.


This day sixty-fve years ago was made
the occasion of rousing big celebration
in this locality, as we see by a copy of
the Virginia Free Press of July 9, $780,
which afriend has kindly loaned us. The
Charles Town Artillery. under Capt John
w. Rowan. Ia born soldier. then in his
young manhood, who afterward served
CALAMITY in two wars,) was then crack
organization. and Peter Haines (whom,
We may be pardoned for saying. was our
honored paternal ancestor of two genera
tons back) was the last surviving Revo-
lutionary soldier in Charles Town. This
particular fourth of July was celebrated
by an address, reading OF the Declaration
of Independence, ETC.. in the Presbyterian
church, followed by sumptuous repast
served to the military and others in a
beautiful grove west of town, Among
those who offered toasts were Capt,
Rowan, DR.. ], ]. H. Stra;th. Thomas D.
Webster. George w. Henson, Gervis S.
Gardner, Andrew Hunter. Joseph Brown.
James w. Be.ler. ]. w. Gallaher, James
w. Jones. ]. B. Small and others, The
principal toast was by the Committee of
Arrangements, as follows
Peter Haines. Esq.-The only rem
nant of that more than patriot band, who
was with us on this occasion, and who.
in the days that tried mems souls, risked
his life. his fortune, and his peace, to Sc
cure to us the blessings we enjoy.
Would God grant that he may, though
he stands now, as it were, with one foot
in the grave. be yet able to survive the
anniversary of many a Fourth and when
at last the cold and whitening hand of
Death shall call him hence, to receive
the just reward of pure patriot and an
honest man, may his end be as calm and
peaceful as his whole life has been noble
and distinguished.
Another toast offered by J. Cunning
ham. reads
Peter Haines. Esq.-His infirm age
would not permit his attendance at the
dinner. but at the church he was at his
post the same as in the days of 10. I"

grape industry, which, while 1t is only
about 30 years old, Is small as COM
pared to that Of the world whose an
nual production is over 100000, 900
gallons Of wine.
Other products Of the grape are rails
ins-an enormous industry in itself
brandy, vinegar, grape syrup, very
superior article, and various pickles,
jellies and preserves.
The grape furnishes also important
by-products. Feed and fertilizer are
produced from the pomace, also acetic
acid. The seeds are separated from the
pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up, they are used as a
substitute for coffee. A high grade oil
similar to olive oil is also produced
from the seeds, which, among other
thugs, make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.
Mr.. Husn,ann estimates that if all the
wastes OF the grape crop were utilized
extra returns would increase its value
fully 10 per cent, which, with our pres
ent grape production to the value of
about $15,000,000, would mean an adj
ditional earning Of million and half,
and this with our viticultural industry
as yet in its infancy.

Chinese " Cash.

Consular reports from China are to
the effect that the prospect Of a re-
form or rather revolution in the money
system Of that Empire is not very
bright, in spite of the promises to that
end which have been made. There are
a number Of influential elements pre-
venting the change which nations do
ing business in China have asked,
among others the bankers who profit
by the great variations in values of
the same kind Of coins in different
cities as well as the provincial officials
who mint them. The money of the
people is still brass and "copper" and to
introduce a new system will be diff
cult owing to the dread on the part Of
the public of anything new. Gold
and silver may continue to control the
price paid for exports, but copper and
brass will for long time govern pro-
duction.
