In Memory of Mrs.

Mrs. Matte Arbanna Lambert.
daughter OF Crockett and Lexanna
Stow0rs, was born in Bland county.

RED TO James X. Lambert, of Nc
Dowell county, West Virginia, August
10th, 1902. She was happily convert
ed in June, 1895. From the beginning
OF her christian life until its close she
was firm and steadfast in the beauti-
full virtues of our holy religion.
We,who know Arbanna so wei. know
that she was an unusually bright. at
tractive, and intelligent woman. She
was possessed of a kind heart and an
amiable disposition, and was ever
ready TO share the sorrows of those
who were in distress.
During the two short years OF her
married life her husband seemed TO
realize that she could not live long.
and did everything within his power 70
relieve her suffering and restore her 10
health; but her efforts were all i'm vain
She told him II short while before her
death that she was not afraid TO die,
but hated to leave him; that he wouId
be so lonesome.
Arbanna was popular, and made many
friends wherever she went. She was
member OF the "Rebecca Lodge D
and was buried by the "Odd Fellows -
near her fathers home, ut Stowersville
Virginia.
She loved to play and sing the old
hymns, and was especially fond OF
"Sweet hour of prayer; Sweet hour OF
prayer" In this hymn her soul often
went up in ecstacies of joy to her

SWANSON FOR GOVERNOR.

Hon. Claude A. Swanson, member
Of Congress from the Fifth Virginia
District, has announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor OF Virginia subject to the de-
cision Of the voters in the State pri-
mary election.
Mr.. Swanson is an exponent of
popular education. The Richmond
Times-Dispatch, in commenting on the
card, issued recently by the candidate,
says:
1--WE may remark just here that 1t is
a most hopeful sign that a distinguish
ed candidate for office should empha-
size, as an appeal TO the voters, the
IA ct that he is a champion OF the cause
OF popular education. 1t shows that
popular education is a popular issue in
State politics. Mr.. Swanson also en-
phasizes that he will in no way pledge
himself in advance to any person OF
persons for any position or appoint
ment within the Gift OF the Governor
and that il elected he will i'm no way be
embarrassed, but will be entirely free
to select the best men for the service
from members Of the Corporation
Commission down.
Mr.. Swanson has made most use
ful member OF Congress, and in his
canvass for the gubernatorial nominal
ton he bore himself well and took his
defeat like a man.
In giving prominence TO Mr.. Swan
sons announcement, the Times-Dis-
patch does not mean, OF course, to
commit itself i'm any way TO his candi-
dacy, for ii has no candidate, and will
have none, until the Democratic party
shall have made it's selection. But IL Is
gratifying TO know that each one OF the
gentlemen who have formally entered
the race is qualified and fit TO fill the
high position, and we feel sure that
the campaign will be conducted upon
the highest plane OF craftsmanship and
good manners.

POLITICS TOO
UGLY FOR HIM
Winiired I. Durbin, Indiana'S
Retiring Governor, Inveighs
Against Evil Practices.

Against Evil frdCuCeS.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 6.-WinifIed
L. Durbin, retiring governor OF Indi-
ana, i'm his annual message 20 the legis-
lature to-day said concerning political
corruption: "The time has come for
the application OF drastic remedial
measures TO the plague OF corruption
which is fastening itself upon our poll
tics. We have in Indiana advanced
legislation for the protection OF the
purity Of the ballot, but the statistics
Of political debauchery i'm this State for
1904, il it were possible to present
them, would be nothing short OF as
founding.
81 am informed by unquestioled au-
thOrity that in a single county in Indi-
ana, casting IN 1902 little more than
5000 votes, there were in the last
campaign nearly l 200 voters regularly
listed as purchaseable and that S15,-
600 raised by assessment from candi-
dates and otherwise was spent by the
contending political parties i'm the effort
to control the county.
"Instances have come to my atten-
ton during the last few weeks where,
in contests for township trustees, votes
have brought $50 and $50 each. Our
present need is legislation framed i'm
the light OF a clearer conception of the
enormity of the ofIense involved in the
purchase or sale OF vote. Our present
statute is farcial as it places no penalty
on the vote huyer. believe oonsiGera-
ton should be given to the ACCESSIBILITY
of requiring the gradual Introduction
Of voting machines"
AS parting warning TO the legisla
ture, the governor says: "If reports
current can be credited this session of
the legislature will be called upon to
resist the opportunities OF the most
corrupt professional lobby that has
visited itself upon any general assem-
bly, in the history OF the State. Already
the names OF members OF the general
assembly are being usedjand the nee
essity OF large sums of money tc pre-
vent needed Legislation or to pass ques-
tionable measures is being urged"

.ENSLEY OFFICE WILL HAVE ID WAIT Three Months Before City Gets
 Free Delivery RECEIPIS ON THE INCREASE e"-iness of Ensley Postoffice Only Lacked a Little of Getting
 In Free Delivery
 Class.
RECEIPTS ON THE INCREASE

Ensley, June 30.-(Special.)- fiscal postal year will come to a close tonight. and much to the disappointment of many who have been striving to secure free delivery of mall, the receipts of the Ems ley office will lack little of coming up to the free delivery class. Since Post master Clayton took charge of the af- fairs of the office the business has regis tered some gratifying gains. The office has been advanced one point and an additional clerk has been granted.
 In fact during the past quarter the re- ceipts have gone in excess of the free de- livery class, but as the department re- quires that all four quarters must come up to certain amount before free de- livery is established the Ensley office will probably have to wait another three months.
 After the expiration of this period it is more than probable that the business will have reached the point to insure free delivery. Congressman Oscar w. Underwood Is very much interested in the Ensley office and has assured Postmaster Clayton and the other citizens who have lhteItSttu iHtIustlNeS III ndNlHB lle Ol1ct raised tha. he will do everything in his power to have the congested condition relieved by the department.
 The best the officials can do under the existing circumstances is to allow the office additional clerk hire. This they will probably agree to do until the busi- ness of the office has reached the free delivery class
