The Y. NJ. C. A. boys journeyed to
Fairview yesterday and held the bag
while the others fellows caught the
snipe. The score was 8 to 4, and a
very nice contest. The locals were
trifie confident all through the game
as in the early innings they had cor.
raled four runs, while the best the
Fairview boys could do in the first
seven innings was .'nil.'' But the
eighth! BY combination of three
hits and an unfortunate error, the
Fairview boys sent five runs across
the plate amid great enthusiasm. A
lead of one run was too much for the
Christians" and they were unable to

excellent satisfaction, and the game

Mr.. Angus Mcdonald.

The news of Mr.. Angus Melon
AIDS death in Miner, Idaho, on
January II, came as a great shock
to his large circle of relatives and
friends. He was regarded by all
who knew him as a brilliant and
fascinating man, and being most
magnetic he made friends and kept
them. His heart was of the kind
est, and there are many now who
come forward to tell of some per-
sonal act of his kindness to them.
Mr.. Mcdonald was a graduate of
the Columbian Law School, in
Washington, and held several
prominent positions with news
paper bureaus in Washington.
During the Spanish-American
war he enlisted in the Third Vir-
ginia Infantry Regiment, and was
shortly made a courier.
Enhsting in the British Army in
South Africa he was attached to
the Courier Force, and while a
member of Locks Horse was one
of Lord Roberts escort from Cape
Town. For his services in the
British Army he was awarded a
medal by that Government.
Since his return from South
Africa Mr.. Mcdonald had been
connected with an irrigating com
pany in Idaho.
Funeral services were held in
Grace Episcopal Church, Berry.

The interment was in Green Hill

Light and Air.

The condition of the lighting and
ventilating facilities of the Court
house have never been more close
ly noticed or more generally
"cuSsed' than during the present
term of Circuit Court.
Several night sessions of the
Court were held, and the light was
so poor that some of the attorneys
refused to even attempt to read
anything from testimony or refer
ence books.
At both day and night sessions
the air in the court room was ALSO
lutely poisonous.
We have converSed with a large
number of people about the matter,

who is not dissatisfied with the
present condition of the light and

"Chippie" Gets Ten Years.

Albert Norris, colored, alias
"Chippie, " was placed on trial in
the Circuit Court last Saturday,
and, after the evidence concerning
his burglary of the depot at White
Post, the store of Mr.. II. Powell
Page, at Boyce, Mr.. Garvin's
stable, at BOyce, and other minor
offenses of the same character, had
been placed before the jury, a YER
dict of guilty on two counts of the
indictment were returned. and
"Chippie" was sentenced to a total
of ten years in the .penitentiary.
In this connection il may be stated
that the law of Virginia provides
for 4 substantial addition to the
sentence in the case of second
conviction, and. as this is Chip

ginia penitentiary, it is believed
that he will get bonus" of five
years in addition to the said ten
imposed by the jury. This net
total of fifteen years Imprisonment
ought to keep "Chippie" out of
trouble for awhile. Norris is an
