an earnest efficient officer. consistent
worker, and we true friend. She was al
ways ready and willing to extend hand of
sympathy and aid in every time of need.

Stirred our hearts to more jealous efforts in
this great work for God and home and ma
tive land We will miss her inspiring pres
ence and wise counsel in our meetings.
Resolved Second. That we as a society
tender our heartfelt sympathy to her be-
reaved husband and relatives. MAY our
Heavenly Father comfort them in their
Fiction and may they be enabled to look
forward to the time when partings shall be
no more
Resolved third, That copy of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes OF our
Society and copy be sent to the fami V, to

A dispatch from Keyser announces
that Col Thomas Davis has stated pos
ltively that he will not be candidate
for Congress again. 1t will probably be
some weeks yet until the Democratic
Congressional Convention meets, and in
the meantime there may be various de-
velopments on the political horizon. 1t
may be the will of the party that some
other man should be chosen to lead it to
victory again, but if the choice should
fall upon Col. Davis he is too good a
Democrat to decline the honor conferred,
although we are quite sure that he would
much prefer the genial enjoyment OF his
pleasant home-at Keyser to a public life
at the national capital.
