ing the death of Mrs. Emily Gum,

member; that not only her immed-
late family, but our whole COM

whose loyalty to friend, thoughtful
ness of the needy, and whose open
handed, open-hearted kindness to
all will ever live in the memory OF
those who knew her as she was.
Resolved to spread a copy OF
these resolutions on the minutes OF
our society.

new DESIGNS FOR STAMPS.

The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing has completed designs sug-
gested by Postmaster-General Mey-
er for new issue Of United States
postage stamps.
The new stamps will be of the
following denominations: One
cent, 2-cent, Scent, Accent, scent,
6-cent, Scent, 10-cent, 15.cent, So
cent and 81. The So and S. de-
nominations now in use will not be
reprinted. 1t will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be
put on the market. However, the
2-cent stamp will be the first dis
tributed, and it is expected that
shipments to postmasters will begin
some time in November.
The new issue has been designed
with the object of obtaining the
greatest simplicity commensurate
with artistic results. The profile
has been taken in each instance in
stead of a full view, giving bos-re-
lief effect. All of the stamps are OF
similar design, containing a head in
an ellipse, the only decoration be.
ing laurel leaves on either side OF
the ellipse. The lettering is in
straight lines, at the top being "U.
S. Postage" and at the bottom the
words 1.-TWO Cents" The 1-cent
stamp contains the head of Frank
lin, while all the others will bear
that of Washinhton, taken from
busts by Houdon.
Thus one of the most notable dit
erences in the new issue will be the
minimum of lettering. The colors
are reds and blues of the early
stamps.
Director Ralph, Of the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing, regards
the new stamps as the most artistic
ever issued by the Government.

AcooD WOMAN GONE 10 her REWARD
Adesp gloom and sadness came

Adesp gloom and sadness came
to many this morning when moth
er Zirkle passed from earth to her
abode on high. The end came at
5 o'clock in the presence of her de-
voted daughters: Mrs. Lemuel H.
Rinker, Mrs. A. A. Walden, and
Misses Kittie and Fannie Zirkle,
and son Mr.. Edward l.. Zirkle and
wife.
. The deceased was the only
daughter of Michael Grim and wife.
On July 4, lS43 she married Mr..
John Zirkle, son of Daniel and
Nancy Zirkle. They began house
keeping in New Market, where he
was engaged in merchandising, liv-
ed and died.
This union was blessed with
thirteen children: Mrs, Lemuel H..
MARY ELEM Rinker, Washington;
Charles, who died young; Arthur
p, who married Miss Huddle, and
died in Craigsville, Va, in 1906;
Miss Anna L., who died in New
Market, 1904; Gilbert M, married
in Washington; Alfred, (died in in
fancy; Edgar L., married in New
Market; Mrs. Dr.) l. H. (Martha)
Trimble, Monterey, Va; Miss Kit
tie, at home; Nancy and Cora,
(died in infancy; Mrs. A. A. Qda)
Walden, New Market; Miss Fannie,
at home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zirkle became mem
bers of St. Matthew Lutheran
church in 1858, under the pastor
ship of Rev. j. P. Cline, his broth
er-in-law. She was one of the thir-
teen original members of this
church-eleven of whom are living
when Rev. DR.. Snyder became
pastor in 1867,
The deceased was devoted wife,
mother, relative, frlend--lndulgent
and self-sacrificing at all times.
She was kind to all, and no poor
ever asked for help in vain. AS
late as Tuesday, some choice re-
freshments were brought to her,
which she wished divided with
others, She loved her home, church F.,
and fellow-beings, and manifested
this love in no uncertain way. She
not only spoke of, but did kind
deeds without stint. Few, if any,
were more devoted to the South,
and during the war hers was an
open home to Confederate soldiers.
They were fed, comforted, cared
| for, and the wounded and dead re-
ceived her special considerations
and tender ministering care. She
was kind to all, especially in trouble,
| and was loved, because she loved
and did for others. Her life was
wellspent and useful Shenandoah

E. M. Arbogast is in the hospital,
threatened with fever.
The mutual telephone company
has put in a new switchboard. This
one is much larger than the older
one, which has become inadequate
to take care of the large number OF
lines. A through wire has been
completed nearly to Monterey, and
connections are being made with
the Elk, Clover Lick and Levels
lines.
E. M. Slaven has contributed a
nicely finished colt, or stone axe,
which he picked up on the Duffield
place on Stony Creek. Peter Col
Inns a curious blackberry brier,
which is fat like reed. 1t was an
inch broad and a quarter of an inch
thick. A. D. Smith gave us a
pretty quartz arrow head found on
the battle field near where General
Pegram fell. He was looking for
relics of this battle and found this
weapon of a much earlier period.
On Monday night Rev. Mac Seig,
for the past four years missionary
to the Congo region in Africa, gave
a missionary address at the Presby-
terrain church, Monday night. A
large audience listened attentively
to him, of the need of more work
ers in the field; of the country; of
his experiences; and the willingness
the benighted hordes received the
gospel. Mr.. Seig is native OF
Highland county, and son of the
late Judge and Mrs. Seig. He was
called from his work by the last
illness of his mother and arrived a
few days before her death.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, d. @. Oot., ]

fH ~ w aenlnSton, y. W Ocs'l a.
The present campaign ia the only
one in the history of this country,
ia which both the leading candi-
dates for president, have taken the
stump. In facball the candidates
are on the stump except the one
that is in Jail.
Mr.. Taft has met with cordial
receptions everywhere, and when
he toured Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan re-
quested the people of his own state
to give his opponent a royal well
come, which they did.
Mr.. Taft is still enthusiastic in
his support of the Postal Savings
banks, which he promises to estab-
lish when elected, and Mr.. Bryan
supports the bank guarantee plan.
Now all unbiased man cannot deny
that both of these plans are good,
and both can operate together. The
Postal Savings Banks will only be
authorized to receive deposits OF
$500 or less from each depositor, so
the timid man with thousands OF
dollars boarded in safe deposit
box, or his old trunk, will still
withhold his money from circula-
ton because he cannot receive
guarantee that it will be returned
to him if deposited. So the Postal
Savings Banks will bring from hid
ing the great army of small de-
positors from $40 to $500 and the
bank guarantee plan, will bring
the small army Of larger depositors
with from $500 to $4,000 out OF
their hiding places. Every large
city has a number of this latter
class with hundreds OF thousands
of dollars locked up in boxes, and
thus kept out Of circulation.
When the proposed postal saw
ings banks receive deposits from
the people, for which they pay 2
per cent they turn over to the ma
tional banks for about 3 per cent
and the banks that receive these
deposits, guarantee every dollar
deposited by the Government be-
fore they receive it. So if the
Government deposits are guaran-
teed, why should not the deposits
of the individuals be likewise guar
anteed? No body has answered
this question yet.

Bisbee daily review., 1908-08-07

The United States promise Cuba it's independence, and it is the nation al policy to keep it's word. Cuba will have a second chance at running it's own business and this government will not interfere until called upon Or until its own interests make lnterven- ton necessary for the sake Jf peace and harmony. However, the past of the little island gives no assurance that this undisturbed independence will last long. Cuba has imbibed the spirit of the Latin republics, and all it's ideals are individual rather than national We will hope with due fer vency that Cuba may become her own mistress and remain SO; but we be lieye that 1t will not be very long be fore she will be calling upon the United States to help her settle the disputes between her several spoiled factions.
