In Mem0rlam

On the evening of January 10, 1905,
the Angel of death entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward O. Lewis,
jenkins Bridge, and bore away to the
Celestial City the soul of their little
boy, George, aged nearly three ana
one-half years. His little form was
laid to rest in the family burying
ground after funeral services conduct
ed by Rev. j. G.. Lennon.
Death overtakes those whom we love,
The flower we least can spare,
He culls DER all our scanty stock
And takes the priced and fair.
The rarest flower of the home,
The loveliest and the best
By the unsparing hand of time
Is called away to rest.
Little George has crossed the river,
He is with the angels now,
He has laid aside earth's crosses,
And the crown is on his brow.
He has put on robes of glory
For the little robes We wrought;
And he fingers golden harp strings
For the toys his father brought
No sorrowing thoughts can reach him
No grief is his to-day;
God gives him Joy for mourning,
His tears are wiped away.
Strive not to check the tear drops
That fall like summer rain,
/ For. the SIN of hone shines through
| them,
We shall see his face again.
He is waiting in that city
Where the saints and angels wait;
And you'll know your little George
When you reach the pearly gate.
So weep, but with rejoicing,
A heart gem hath We given,
| And behold its glorious setting
In the diadem of Heaven.
Aunt Fannie.

SATURDAY, March 10, 1906.

The Senate of Virginia by vote OF
% to 10 has passed the Churchman
rate bill limiting the amount railIoauS
NAV charge for mileage books at Z
cents per mile for 500 miles or over
and it now goes to the Governor for
his signature, which it will receive
There was danger of it "being talked
to death" in the closing days of the
session and it might have been killed
in that way if the demand for its pas
sage had not been so universal
throughout the State. 1t is a Just
measure and not only fair to the peo-
pie of the State but in the interest as
well of the railroads. The increase IN
travel at the reduced rates will make
the receipts to the railroads larger
than before.

The Legislature of Virginia will ad

The Legislature of Virginia will ad-
iourn at midnight to-day. A resolu-
ton looking to the extension OF the
session even for one week offered in
the Senate on Wednesday, in order
to dispose of measures already on the
calendar of the Senate and House, was
promptly voted down. An extension
meant work without pay AID, OF
course, it was not to be expected.
Out of the fifteen hundred bills in
troduced in the house and the four
hundred and seventy-six bills intro
duced in the senate only about two
hundred and fifty had up to Thurs
day afternoon been enacted into laws,
but many of them are of prime I'M
portance.

was in command of Military District
No. in Virginia during the recon-
struction era, died in st. Augustine,
Florida, Saturday night. Despised,
though he was at the time, it has
