Sammie Trimble is Dead.

No death, for many years per-
haps, has used greater sadness or
M ore universal regret than that OF
little Sammie Trimble, which oc-
CURED at the home Of his parents
DIR. and Mrs. X. II. Trimble
in Monterey, about 1870 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. With the first
stages Of his illness our readers are
already familiar. The arrival of
DR.. Payne after relief had been OBJ
tanned, his return to Staunton
without having deemed an opera
ton necessary at the time, the tenn
porary improvement which follow
ed for short period, were all CIR
cumstances calculated to inspire
hope, and not until late in the
week was that hope entirely dlssl-
pated. The return of the trouble,
or the presence of new complied
tons, rendered his condition very
alarming, aud, on Saturday night
the anxious father again summon
ed aid from the X. D. Hospital at
Stanton.
AT an early hour Sunday morn
ing, Doctors Catlett and Payne
accompanied by trained nurse
left Staunton and were met on the
way by conveyance, which joined
in the race against time. The an a
iety of fond parents, the faithful
efforts Of messenger and surgeons,
the speed of horses-all were OF no
avail, for, just as the party came IN
sight of town, death claimed the
little sufferer.
Sammie was good boy. He was a
manly little fellow, quiet, thought
full, the pride of the home, the Joy
and comfort of devoted parents.
His last day on earth. save one, was
his fifteenth birthday, and during
this short life, his courtesy and be-
comingdeportment hadwon for HIM
the respect and admiration OF OLD
and young-a fact which was
strongly attested bv the throng or
sorrcwing friends in attendance
upon the occasion Of his funeral.
This sad service was held at the
Methodist church-with which he
united when twelve years old--at
3 o'clock Monday afternoon. and
was conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Dewitt A. Berry, assisted by Revs.
Flahertv and Trimble.
Six of his school mates Evans
Trimble, Bruce Slaven, Owen TO-
law, Thomas Ogilvie, Dick Crum-
NETT and Ray Kramer-entered the
church, bearing the white casket'
followed by the school-children, IN
a body, led by their teachers.
After the service at the church
the large assembly followed the
remains to the Monterey cemetary,
where they were laid to rest until
the great day.

We note with satisfaction that,
from year to year. the custom OF
viewing remains at our church fu.
neral services is being abolished,
The custom has long since been
done away with in almost every
section of the country, and minis
tiers of the gospel, undertakers and
all who now advocate it's abroga-
ton, should cooperate in an effort
to make the sentiment UNIVERSAL.
1t is needless to cite or recite the
many reasons why the custom
should be discouraged or discOntin.
ued. It is true that persons often
want to see the face of their deceas-
ed friends and neighbors, but it is
equally true that the proper time
and place is at the home of mourn
ing, before the casket is closed and
the body hauled. carried or subject
ed to conditions Xix ely to render it
repulsive and unpl easant. Should
anyone, so inclined. fail to obtain
this ook at the dead. is there really
cause for genuine regret? Is it
not, otter all, more pleasant to car
nv with us the mind-pioture i'm
pressed/upon us when they were in
rr1ifr and health?
1t is not for one person to die
tate, nor is it our intention so to
do, but there are many reasons
whv the people of every mel ghbor
hood should want to see the GUS
tom abolished.

own recognizances from the Shen-

personal examination, he decided 1t
was an unfit place to conhne her

county board of supervisors to show
why they shall not build a new jail

Judge Harrison found the girl

NOTICED IT
A Young Lady From New Jersey Put Her
Wits to Work.

Coffee gave me terrible spells of In
digestion which, coming on every week
or so, made my life wretched until
some one told me that the coffee I
drank was to blame. That seemed
nonsense, but noticed these attacks
used to come on shortly after eating
and were accompanied by such excru-
ciating pains in the pit of the stomach
that could only find relief by loosen
ing my clothing and lying down.
IF circumstances made 1t impossible
for me to lie down I spent hours in
great misery.
IT refused to really believe 1t was
the coffee until finally thought trial
would at least do no harm, so ! quit
coffee in 1901 and began on Postum.
My troubles left entirely and convinced
me Of the cause.
Postum brought no discomfort. nor
did indigestion follow its use. I have
had no return of the trouble since
began to drink Postum. 1t has built
me up, restored my health and given

lndia's Odd Ways.

A famous travelling correspondent
says that the people in the southern
provinces of India do everything on
the ground. They never use chairs o;
benches, but always squat upon the
floor. and all their work is done upon
the ground.
Carpenters have no benches, and Al,
they plane a board they place 1t on
the earth before them and hold 1t fast
with their feet. The blacksmith has
his anvil on the floor; the goldsmith
the tailor and even the printer use
the floor for benches, and 1t is the
desk of the letter-writer and the book
keeper.
1t rocks queer to see a printer
squatting before a case of type an
even queerer to see a person writing
letters with a block Of paper spread
out before him on the ground. But
that is the Hindu custom.
You find it everywhere throughout
India, just as you will find everybody

Masons' helpers, who are mostly

what heavy loads their spines will sup

At the railway stations all the lug
