Il Will Be Bryan

We can hardly see how sensible
and practical Democratic states
ro,n expect 70 accomplish the de-
f,et Of MIR. BRYAN. His nomina-
,ion is prcordained. His election.
No hope, will follow. and the
.npuries for il are bright Win
chester Star.
Exactly so. The COURIER is
also puzzled to know just what
some of our leading Democrats
hope 20 gain by their continued
rei,eraiion of thc statement that
BRYAN can, VIM especially
when we remember that many of
these same gentlemen insisted that
Parker could Win in 1904. They
have been discrediicd as political
nrophe,s, and we think now that
they should take their coats off
and work for Bryan's nomination
and election.
Bryan can win; and he will win
If the Democrats get together"

Sadie Jones in the Tolls

A telegram from Superintendent
Richard Sylvester, Of the Wash
ington police department, to Sheriff
George II. Levi, on Monday, an
nounced the capture In that city of
Sadie Jones who. it will be recalled,
was jointly accused, with Lille
Robinson, of passing a worthless
check on Louis Scheuer, the well
known Berryville clothier.
Upon investigation it was found
that Sadie had retained an attorney
in Washington and would not re-
turn here without requisition
papers.
Commonwealth Attorney Will
liam Travers Lewis at once filled
out the necessary papers and sent
them TO Richmond for the Cover
Dor's signature, and it is believed
that Sadie will soon grace cell in
the local Jail unless she secures her
release from the Washington
authorities by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before the requisition
reaches that city.
No trace has yet been found of
Lille Robinson, who escaped from
the Clarke County Jail while under
sentence for passing the worthless
check on Mr.. Scheuer. She had
been sentenced to two years in the
penitentlary at the November. 1907,
term of Circuit Court. and was
awaiting transportation TO Rich
mond when size made her escape.
Sadie Jones disappeared about
the same time, and this is the first
opportunity the officers have had
To replace her in custody.

Conservation and The Manufacture.

As BELTS the interest which the
question OF conservation has for
Its members, the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, has been one
of the first of the unofficial bodies
represented in the governors con
ference to take steps toward in
surlng practical results. Its mem
0ers, as manufacturers, are not
only directly affected by the prog
ress OF the conservation movement,
but they have been also largely
responsible for making the question
one of the urgent matters before
the country. The manufacturer.
more than any other one class. has
caused the wasting of our natural
resources which has made the ne
ceSslty for their conservation in the
future.
1t Is natural. therefore, that he
should take the lead in furthcrinp
the campaign for that end.
Through the agency OF the organi-
zation which best represents the

been taken. The entire subject is

Funeral Of Mrs. ThOS. D. Gold.

The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Bar
nett Gold, wife of Hon. Thomas ID.
Gold whose sudden death was
chrOnicled in last weeks COURIER.
was held from the Baptist Church
on Thursday afternoon at 4 O. clock.
The church was filled with sor-
rowing friends and relatives who
came to pay their last tribute of
respect, and the address of the
pastor, Rev. Julian BrOaddus. was
a most touching one. Mrs. Gold
had been a member of the church
here when Mr.. Broaddus preached
his first sermon in this church
twenty-five years ago, and Mr..
Broaddus felt deep grief at the
death of this good woman and true
friend.
After services at the church the
remains were taken to Green Hill
Cemetery for interment.
The pallbearers were Messrs. A.
Moore, Jr., d. II. Jones, r. ID.

Gold and Miss Mary Washington
Gold, one son, Mr. Thos. f. Gold,
and one brother, Mr.. j. +. Bar
nett, all of Clarke county. Her
other brother. Neville Barnett. was
killed during the war.
Mrs. Gold was woman Of the
deepest and most sincere Christian
character, kind and considerate of
the feelings of others, and never
by word or deed intentionally
wounded the feelings of another.
She was of a sweet disposition, and
of retiring nature, with the most
boundless love for her home and
family-the true test of mother
hood.
Nothing can fill the void in the
lives of her husband and children
which has been created by herdeath.
