In r1emoriam.

The hearts of Ellie w. and Sadie W.
Taylor were crushed on January 10Th,
1907, when the angel of death entered
their home, near Temperanceville
and bore away their darling child
Mary, aged II years, months and ID
DAYS, with that terrible disease, diph-
liberia. She was the sunshine of her
home and though great sufferer du-
ring the last hours OF ner illness, she
told me goodbye, kissed me and said
she loved us all dearly.
Little Mary, how we miss you,
No one on earth can tell,
But we hope in Heaven to meet you,
There forevermore to dwell.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stllled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
Our little Mary home,
And if we are faithful here,
We will all meet her around the
throne.
Yes, We'll gather at the river,
In that bright and happy land,
There We'll sing and praise forever,
Holding Mary by the hand.
Gone but not forgotten,
Nor ever will be
AS long as life lasts,
/ will remember thee.
Mother

Everyone on the line of 1.-The pro-
posed trolley road' is of course in
terested in the establishment OF the
same and should show their interest by
attending the meeting to be held at
Onley next Wednesday, the Goth inst.
Everyone who can should be present,
even if they do not wish to subscribe
to the stock or have not the means to
do so, to give their encouragement to
the movement 1t may be that we
may not have a dollar to invest in the
enterprise but our interest in it may
cause others to do so and lead to re-
suits not now contemplated by us.
Many predicted that the railroad
would not be built through the PENN
sula but it has been built in spite of
their predictions to the contrary, and
the prospect of trolley line is brigh-
ter than that was for years. The pro-
posed trolley line will be established
how soon depends in some measure
upon us. It's conveniences, comforts
and advantages at least are two great,
not to have our endorsement, however
remote the prospect may seem to us.
Let us show our approval by a full at
tendance on Wednesday.

State Librarian Kennedy, it is re-
ported, has verbally placed his resig-
nation at the disposal of the COM
mittee and Virginians, who have
noted the evidence submitted during
the investigation of his doings as an
official of the State, would doubtless
be glad if his written resignation"
was rendered and accepted at once.
He may be innocent of most of the
charges against him, but there is just
enough doubt about his entire inno-
cence to make the most of the people
of the State willing for him ito step
down and out" An official of the
State ought to be altogether "above
suspicion" in a matter in which all
of the people of the State are SO
much interested.

The Corporation Commission of the
State, it is now stated, will not as has
been generally understood, establish
a fiat two-cent passenger rate over all
Virginia. The business of the railroads
and the profits accruing therefrom will,
if the advices are correct, govern the
commission in arriving at its conclu-
sions. For instance a road doing a
heavy business and paying reasona-
BILE dividend upon its legitimate stock
may be required to cut its passenger
rates to 2 cents, while some smaller
roads; operating under difficulties may
be allowed to charge 2! cents mile
or even cents in extreme cases. The
Commission, in other words, will not
make unjust demands upon the rail-
roads, which is right, but will not per-
NIT them, as it is their duty, to make
burdensome charges when they can
afford to give reasonable rates.

Argument in the case of Brickhouse,
a colored man, against county cleo
ton officials is being heard in the
United States Circuit Court at Rich
mond this week. He wants $1,000 for
not being permitted to exercise the
right of suffrage some years ago to
which he was not entitled. Hon.
John S. Wise represents Brckhouse
and doubtless would like to continue
to do so, "as long as the hat is passed
around for him." He knows though
as we'll as everyone else does that
MS client has no case and cannot win
in the fight. The validity of the new
Constitution of Virginia, which went
into effect July 10th, 1902, is being
attacked by him in his effort to sus-
tain the claim of the negro.

Smallpox at Williamsburg.

1ovoures d. william ana mary Col
lege, Williamsburg, have been sus-
pended because of case of smallpox
which has broken out on one of the
students, J. H. Bowden, of Isle of
Wight county, who has just entered
the college for his second term. Bow
den was promptly taken to the infirm-
airy and the whole college has been
quarantined by the health authorities.

roommate, whose name is Snipes
Bowden's case is very mild one.

Every dollars worth OF goods was

can call my own in my declining
years. Promising to fill the office II
