MEMORIALS.
ROBERT JOHNSON.

The dark image of sorrow has cast
its shadow across the sunht sky,
and shrouded in gloom the hearts of
one of Pleasant Hills good homes
In the year 1880 was inscribed upon
the spotless page Of lifo's volume the
name OF Robert Johnson; at 200
o'clock, Wednesday morning, Janu-
airy 30, 1909, softly, 10y angel hands,
the book was closed with the whis-
pered words "Well DONE" and
Uncle Robert" passed quietly to
the Great Beyond. While we think
the greatest cause for mourning is
for one upon whose fair brow time
has lett no burrows, and within
whose heart echoes ioyously the
buoy ant songs of youth, and who
has been gathered home just at LIES
glad dawn; yet it is indeed sad for
the members of the family to bid
goodbye TO good father, even
though upon his barw lay the bur
den of many years, and his feet long
had tattered upon the brink of the
sunset land. When tho summons
came, he knew no fear. Perfect
resignation, perfect peace irradiated
the drifting soul, and he quietly
passed into that dreamless sleep
that knows no working.
Early in life Mr.. Johnson married
Miss Brown Marshall, and to this
union we're born five children, four
of whom preceded him to the spirit
world.
He is survived By his wife, an
estimable old lady, and a daughter,
Mrs. Lee Westfall, highly respec-
ted lady of Pleasant Hill, bots Of
whome have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community,

News Notes from Charleston.
The Jim Crow bill has been
defeated by the Senate.

defeated by the Senate.
The Holly Bill providing for
2-cent railroad fare was knocked
out in the Senate Thursday by a
vote of % to z. A substitute bill
was proposed by Senator White,
of Mingo, which provided for
the sale of round-trip and mile
age tickets at 2 cents a mile, thus
giving the railroads their inter-
state traffic at the present rates.
The Republicans are now fac
ing a deficit of 100000, and
We're never in q worse fix. The
administration is talking about
putting the State school levy
back up again, and the Repub-
leans are finding out that the
Bew tax laws are a failure.
A Joint comittee of five mem

The road bill of delegate Par
sons has been introduced in the

8 in "a consecutive hours, has
been reported from the senate
committee On labor with the re-
commentator that it be referred

Recently on the fl DOR of the
House Of Delegates, Hon. a. e.
Kenney paid the following pretty
tribute to the memory Of the late
Col. Payton:
Colonel Payton was man
whose usefulness was great as
was his wide popularity. He
was a wise counsellor TO all while
here with us, and had he lived
would have continued to be our
guide and friend.
Il sometimes think we do not
properly estimate the noble traits
of men like Colonel Payton until
they are gone from among u.s."
"Strange we never mss the music
Till the sweet voiced bird has flown,
Strange that we should slight the volets
Till the lovely flowers are gone,
Strange that summer days and sunshine,
Should ne er secm one half so fair,
As when winters snowy pinious
Shake the white down in the air"
In paying this tribute / feel
that all will miss him as a friend
and helper, q genial, kindly man
who went about doing good.
In losing Colonel Payton we
lose the noblest work of God-an
honest man."

Henry G. Lockney came out in
a two-column article in the News
last week, in opposition to the

house, which is possible so, but

will be built in the very near flu
