TRIBUTE TO the LATE JAS. o. LEE

Stafford, Va, Oct. 18th, 1908.
The undersigned cannot let the occasion
pass without adding a small tribute TO
the late JAS. D. Lee. The writer has in
timately known him for the last thirty
eight years. He was an old time Virginia
gentleman, domestic IN bis habits, and
honest to the core. He never sought pub
tic notoriety. Several times be was offered
various nominations for high public
Office, but invariably refused. His service
as supervisor OF Falmouth district was
marked by an honest, conscientious effort
to do his whole duty. He was a strict
church member, and abhorred anything
that savored OF roughness, 10 any way.
BE has passed lover the river" and il
ever man deserved IL, it eau be said of
him, truly ''an honest man Is the noblest
work OF God" Peace to his aches.
