IN MEM0RlIM.

Mrs. Mary f. Royston, widow
of the late T. X. Royston. died
January Is, 1906. She was born
May Is, 1929, and was true
American woman; strong in char
acter, mind and body; kind, gen
erouS and good neighbor; an etfec-
tionate and loving wife; fond and
indulgent mother. She did her
part well in all things. After the
death of her loving husband she
remained true to his memory, sin
cerely mourning his loss until the
Angel of death called her to that
haven of rest, to dwell hereafter
in the presence of Him who doeth
all things well for those who seek
and find Him. Mrs. RoySton was
the mother of seventeen children,
many of whom are now living in
Clarke county. They are not un-
like their mother. They are gen
erouS and good men, willing at all
times toaSSist their ncighbors. and
most of them are farmers. The
daughters have generally married
farmers, and have made excellent
wives. Mrs. Royston was well
known by her many acts of charity
and not only did she raise her own
large family, but assisted in the
rearing of three other families, all
of whom grew up to call her a
blessed grandmother. This pure,
good, kind motherneeds no eulogy
at our hands. We can best point
to her and her life. May her ex-
ample lead others to that Haven
of Rest where only the good and
pure can enter.

taken to Winchester Memorial
Hospital last week. and now lies in
that institution very i'll from an
acute attack of Bright's disease,
intensified by a nervous breakdown
from Overwork. His condition was
fairly good until Sunday, when lie
suffered a partial relapse, and since
that time his condition has been
critical. In conversation with DIR.
w. Il. Mcclure, who is attending
Mr.. Mccormick, the COURIER was
informed late yesterday that his
condition was practically the same
as the day before, which indicates
very slight Improvement.
Mr.. Mccormick has been en-
gagged in number of large cases
in the Supreme, United States and
local courts, for the past year, and
has literally worked himself be-
yOnd endurance. Loss Of sleep in

the long days of nerve-racking
legal work, followed usually by
night sessions of the court. with
hours of argument before jurieS.
has been too much for humqn en-
durance. Added to this, a serious
ailment like Bright's disease. and
uo one can wonder that he is dan
gerously IN.
The COURIER hopes that his well
known energy and nervous strength
will combinrto hasten his recovery.
LATER DR.. Mcclure informs
uS that Mr.. Mccormick is resting
"a little easier at go this morning.

Colonel ChsW'S Interesting Address

Col. r. p. Chew. of Charles
Town. delivered before the j. f.
b. Stuart Camp, Confederat Vete-
rams, and it, guests, at the Court
house last Friday evening. a most
interesting and instructive address.
Colonel Chew is an eloquent and
impressive speaker, and his audi
ence was charmed with him. He
reviewed General Lees campaigns
in a masterly manner, and showed
with what inadequate means Lee
had wrested victory from his an
tagonistS.
His tributes to the private sol
dierS of the Army of Northern
Virginia were clothed in beautiful
and vigorous language.
The UNIVERSAL feeling on the
part of his audience was one of
regret when his address was
brought to a close.
Such addresses do incalculable
good in holding up to the admira-
tion of our people, as an object les
son, the pure, patriotic and unset
fish character of General Lee, the
flower of Southern civilization.

For More Stringent Tax Assessment.

Delegate Reid, of Mecklenburg.
has introduced one of the most in
teresting bills of the session. 1t
provides for more stringent as
sessment of personal property.
The duty now devolving upon the
Commissioner of the Revenue is
imposed upon local board, which
is to be composed of the Commits
sioner and two appointees, chosen
by the Board of Supervisors, or
the two senior magistrates in each
district may be associated with the
Commissioner in the work. The
object of measure is to reach thou
sands who are evading the payment
of just taxes.
The treasury of Clarke County
will certainly be benefited if Mr..
Reid's bill becomes a law, as there
are many cases of total or partial
evasion of taxes.
