In the last few years, American philan-

and molding the common life of this coun-
try They have contributed literally for
the education of the masses, regardless of
race or color. These gifts have sought out
all the activities which go to make a pro-

the poorly paid yet conscientious teacher
been made to be an inspiration to those
under her tutelage. To the rural life has
been added all the phases of a progressive

Freddie, why do You stand

thus transgresses propriety. and
the minister's wife or the lady

Freddie had been taught ALWAYS to

The arrangement heretofore ex-
isting between w. a. Hartford and

most orderly saloons which has
ever come under our observation.
and Is well-liked by practically all
of our citizens. He left Berry

Winchester, but will probably re-
turn here in time to perfect his
application for license at the March

Mr.. SChGuer Says He Was Positive.

Mr.. Louis Scheuer called at the
COURIER office last week and made
complaint that we had mis-stated
the facts in our publication con-
cerning the check transaction of
the previous week. The para
graph against which he particular
ly complained was:
After hearing the testimony of
the prisoners, Judge Crow asked
Mr.. Scheuer if he could positively
identify the prisoners. He seemed
positive about the old lady" (as
black an old nanny as ever Groom
ed her white charges to sleep on a
summer afternoon), but was not so
positive about THE young lady
"a very intelligent-lOOking yellow
girD.
Mr. Scheucr insists that his
identification of both women was
positive. "
As he seems very much aggriev-
ed, we print this statement in
justice to him.

SOSby Nan Killed in Texas.

ASpecial message to the COURIER
from Fauquier county states that
Col. John Carter Edmonds, for
merly of that county, was recently
killed in a street duel at Bastrop,
Texas, by r. A. Brooks, attorney
and assistant postmaster at that
place.
The shooting followed an alter
cation between the men, the details
of which have not been made clear.
1t seems that shortly after the
dispute the attorney concealed him
self behind a house and shot at
Colonel Edmonds as the latter was
passing along the street. The first
shot missed the Colonel. who,
drawing his revolver, was in the
act of returning the fire, when a
second bulletfrom Brooks revolver
hit him in the breast, predicting
instant death.
Colonel Edmonds was born in
1917 near Delaplane, Fauquier
county. He was a son Of DR.. John
r. Edmonds now deceased. and a
brother Of Col. Edward Edmonds.
who was killed in Pickett's charge
at Gettysburg
When - years of aged Colonel
Edmonds became : member Of
Mosby's command. As a DARING
young soldier he figures prominent
~ iu John Munson's recollections
OF the command, recently publish
ed In book form. 1t is probable
that no other man was more closely
associated with Mosby during the
operation of that gallant command
than Colonel Edmonds. for his
home was the headquarters of the
partisan chief.
Colonel Edmonds graduated at
the Virginia Military Institute in
1872. He went to Texas in 1878.
and became President of the Austin
College, which is located at Sher-
man. Later he was elected Mayor
of Sherman and continued to sue
ceed himself as chief executive of
that city until the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war. when he
was made Colonel of the Fourth
Texas Regiment. At the close of
the war, he was made commandant
of cadets in the Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Bryan. and
was then chosen superintendent of
the city schools at Bastrop. where
he was living at the time of his
death.
Colonel Edmonds was a cousin
of the late Rev. :. q. Ferguson. of
Leesburg. who was also a promi-
nent member of the NIosby COM
mand, and is In that way related to
Mrs. James w. Foley. of Berry
vile.

A Veteran from Virginia.

Ihe following article IN regard
To one of our most highly esteemed
and widely known citizens, is
copied from the Eastern Dealer of
February Z.
Not many dealers can boast of
handling the same make of grain
drill for fifty years. That is the
record held by NJ. Pulliam of the
firm of NJ. Pulliam & Son, OF Ber-
ryville, Va. and It not only speaks
well for NJ. Pulliam. but it reflects
an equal amount of credit upon the
manufactures and the machine it.
self.
Mr. Pulliam came into Shenan-
dOah Valley country in 1916 from
the eastern part OF the State of
Virginia. locating at BerryviIle.
Clarke Co., where he has lived
continuously ever since. At that
time he was employed at journey
work. but in the course Of a few
years he engaged in business for
himself, manufacturing machines
for tbreshing wheat, and wagons
for the use fthe farmers. together
with smaller farm implements.
IL was then that he took on the
Bickford & Huffman drill. and in
fifty years has sold between 4OO
and 500 in his section. When he
first knew the drill it was called
the New York Cylinder" drill.
All through Its changes and i'm
provemcntS he has kept in touch
with it. selling it under It's present
name, Farmers Favorite." for
fifty years.
Mr.. Pulliam is now eighty-thrcc
years of aye, in the enjoyment of
good health and attending in a
large measure TO the business as
now conducted by NJ. Pulliam &
Son. The firm carries a general
line of implements and farm ma
chinery, wagons and light vehicles.
Mr.. PuIliam is a man who takes
pleasure in his business. and writes
of his experience as follows:
Through all these years of bus
mess with the Bickford & Huffman
CO., | have found no cause for
complaint. Courteous treatment
has at all times been accorded me
10y principals and employees of the
company, and in like manner the
door of my Office and home have
been open TO them; for the fact
that they came from the Bickford
x Huffman people was. and now is.
a safe and sure passport to our
hospitality.
Il look back upon the years
passed, and my business acquaint-
ances and the routine of the busi-
ness life, and the Bickford < Huff
man people have 4 first place in
my memory and esteem"
This is what we call delightful
letter, evidencing, as it does, the
spirit which inspires the veteran in
his business relations. 1t is clear
that with him business and trade
have been an agreeable experience
and we venture to say that kindly
personality has been in large
measure responsible for his con.
tinued success.
