Lynchburg and the Valley OF
Virginia

"a -
Sundays Eynchburg News in
discussing editorially the efforts
being made for better train SER
vice between that city and the
Valley of Virginia, says:
A special telegram to The News
from Staunton yesterday an
nounced the appointment of com
mlttee by the Board Of Trade ct
that city, headed by Hon. A. c.
Braxton, to cooperate with the
business men of Lynchburg and
Lexington in an effort to secure
better railway communication be
tween Lynchburg and the Valley
of Virginia.
The wonder il that this move
ment has been so long delayed.
With the great Valley of Virginia
right across the mountains from
us, requires nearly twenty hours
to get from Lyncnburg to Staun-
ton or Harrisonburg by way of
Lexington,a distance less than 100
miles; and to make the trip with
in that time passenger must be
up at the unearthly hour of four
o'clock in the morning at Lexing-
ton to take the Baltimore and
Ohio train from that point. Be-
cause of these totally inadequate
railway facilities nearly all of the
trade of the Valley goes to Balti-
more and little of it comes to
Lynchburg.
The effort now is to put the
Valley towns in close contact with
LJnchburg, and to give double
daily train service between Lynch
burg and Harrisonburg. The peo-
pie of Harrisonburg, Stanton and
Lexington are in dead earnest
about this service. Lexington, as
we'll as Staunton, has appointed "a
committee, headed 10y Mr.B. Estes
Vaughan, cashier of the First
National Bank of that place, and
it requires no suggestion from us
to thoroughly impress the I'M
portance of the movement upon
the Board of Trade of Lynchburg.
Lynchburg merchants and buEI'
ness men generally have been
particularly friendly to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway, and there
is no good reason why that COM
pany should not earnestly exert
| itself to afford the people OF this
community better mail, passenger
and freight facilities than they
now enjoy.

An Appreciation

ioy The GG-sNe
COLhERsTowN, Jan. 8, 1908.
Flattery is odius.. eulogy unneces-
sary. but appreciation is profitable
and comforting. 1t is good that we
reflect upon the beautiful character OF
a loved one. Such IN admirable char
acter was that of the lately deceased
Miss Martha Entsminger OF Golfers
town.
One of her prominent traits was a
passion for music, Even while ex-
perienclng the most Intense suffering,
she found comfort IN this passion.
Once during her Illness she had friend
to go to the organ in a part OF the
house adjoining her sick room, thiow
open the windows and doors, and
play and sing some old hymns for her.
She made these musical expressions
her prayers, and her soul poured forth
in the sweet strains as they ioated out
on the air.
Combined with passion for music
she had deep devotion to her God.
During the latter days of her sickness
she lived in almost constant com
munion with Him. Sometimes these
communions were audiDly expressed
in prayers clothed in the most beau
tiful language. Prayer with her was
indeed "being with God With JOY
she hailed the coming of her Lord,
and prayed that she might be taken
Home" She had long since entered.
into such close companionship with her
God that she had learned that 1.-THE
sufTerlngs of this present time are not
worthy to be:compared with the glory
that shall be revealed to us
Her worship was net mere lip ser
vice, her life was one grand express
sion of prayer and praise. she had
been faithful. member Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, OF Col

ing Joined at the old Shed church In
Upper Collierstown in 1854 In her
young days she was constant attend
ant upon the public worship, but i'll
the latter days of her life she was hin
dered from regular attendance by
sickness. She remained loyal to the
church of her choice till her death.
Hers was not the narrow split OF Sec
tarianism, but the liberal spirit OF
Christian faithful in the part OF the
Kingdom to which her Master had
appointed her.

The movement to make the
cOmmemOration of the settlement
of jamestown an internationa!
event is heartily approved by Sir
Thomas Fraser, Il major general of
the British Army, who is now in
Washingto a. Sir Thomas said that
he thought the event one OF the
greatest Importance 10 the Eng
lish speaking race on both sides
OF the Atlantic, and he is in favor
of the American and British gov
ernments D hitting in the celebration
and inviting all other nations 20
take part. General Fitzhugh Lee,
the president Of the Jamestown
Exposition Company, is deeply
impressed with the idea. 1t is not
unlikely that he will go to Eng
land for the purpose of inducing
the British government to take
the steps necessary to assist in the
celebration of the greatest event
in our history.

PEACE NOT In SIGHT Y EFT

The hope entertained a short
time ago that some movement to-
wards peace would follow the fall
of Port Arthur, seems defined to
end in disappointment. From
present indications the bloody
war between Russia and Japan 10
to continue indefinitely. Already
n quarter of million Of people
have been killed, wounded or rem
dered horsI de combat by the ter
rible struggle which has been
waged with such fierceness by
both SIDES, Russia refuses to en-
terrain any idea of submitting to
plans whef eby she will be made to
bow to Japanese supremacy in the
far East, while Japan will be sat-
isfied with nothing short OF that.
In consequence OF this situation
only time can break the deadlock.
Russia hat much with which to
contend at home. Internal trOu-
bles are on the increase and de-
mands are being made upon the
government which cannot at
present:.be met. The japanese. on
the other hand, are intoxicated
with ,snccess. but they will event
uslly be forced to face the serious
side Of thewar, when the neces'
sary funds with which to continue
the struggle will have to be raised.
Their war il ,bt is now almost be-
yond their resources, and it will
take many years of heavy taxa
ton to meet the expenses thus far
incurred.

"A very sad accident happened in
our community last week by which
one of our best citizens lost his
life. Mr.. Jas. Pate and Mr.. Nc
Kee went out on st. Francis river
fishing last Thursday. Every
thing went off we'll until about II
o'clock, when they got into a boat
to fix some fish lines and put fresh
bait on them. After this was done
they intended returning to camp
for the night. When ready to
start back the boat was about 20
OF 30 yards from shore and in deep
water. Mr.. Pate remarked that he
had better throw out some water,
but after investigation he found no
water; when all at once the water
began to rush in from every side,
and in a few moments the boat
began sinking. Mr.. Mckee was
in one end of the boat holding two
lanterns, while Mr.. Pate sat in the
other end. Suddenly their LIANT
erns went out, leaving them in
total darkness. Mr.. Mckee being
a good swimmer, managed to get
to the shore after going down
twice. But Mr.. Pate, having never
learned to swim, went down, and
on coming up for the last time,
cried for help, but no help was
near as Mr.. Mckee was then ex-
hausted. He kept calling to Mr..
Pate to follow him and to keep on
striving to reach the shore. But
at last he gave up and never rose
again. His watch, which he
carried, stopped at 1880, so it is
supposed that he was drowned
about that time. Mr.. Mckee, after
getting out had to go down the
river a half mile and cross at the
Phipps ford, and not being used to
the country made his way as best
ne could through the darkness;
the moon having gone down he
could only guess at which way he
was going. He at last found his
way to Jas. Chilton's house on the
Smith farm, and from there rode
to Saco and telephoned the sad
news to his wife at this place.
Never were the people of Des
Arc more shocked and grieved to
hear the sad news. Almost every
home in Des Arc was awakened
by the tears and sobs of friends
and loved ones. At day-break a
large crowd ofmen went to search
for the body, but in the meantime
the farmers of that vicinity had
begun a search and succeeded iii
finding the body. AT 6 o'clock a
Coroner's jury was summoned and
held an inquest. The remains
were brought home by his many
friends, and it was a heart-rend-
ing scene. The funeral sermon
was preached at the Baptist church

The subject of this sketch was
born October 5, 1884, was married
to G. B. Nall, July 10, 1854, and
departed this life, after seven or
eight months of severe affection,
at her home Ironton, Mo-, May Is,
her husband preceding her five
years. She was the mother of nine
children, three of whom are living,
Mrs. j. M. Dale, Fredericktown,
Mo-, w. w. Nall, st. Louis, and
H. Arthur Nall of Ironton. The
Rev. j. 9. Bergman, of Caledo-
MIA, is her stepfather. Sister Nall
was an ideal type of an educated,
refined southern and Christian la
dy. All the refinement of woman
hood and the graces of the most
elegant character met in her beau
tiful and sweet-spirited soul. She
had an ear and eye, and transpar-
ent soul for the beautiful and good,
and God SO endowed her by taste
and tact that every charm and glo-
ry of nature was drunk in by her
beautiful and heavenly spirit. AS
a wife her heart was flooded and
subdued by a sea Of affection, and
true devotion, and as a mother,
was such that her children to-day,
''arise and call her blessed" A
Christian from early life, and her
time and talent were given to God
in her service as a member of the
M. E. Church, South, where her
virtue, character and precious
memory remain as a polished and
enduring monument to all that was
noble and good. Her patience and
faith, resignation and trust, dur
ing her sickness, we're of the SUBJ
FINEST type.
The love and devotion and
painstaking care Of her son, Arth-
ur, during the weary months of his
mothers illness, are worthy both
the admiration and emulation Of
any living mortal. May God bless
him!
The sunset Of sister Nails earth
ly life was without a cloud, a doubt
or q fear. When her Lord called
at the end of her earthly journey
she stepped upon the heavenly
