We have been very unfortunate
having lost several brethren since
you were made an Odd Fellow
How many Of those funerals have
you attended? Now your cousin
passes away. and you garh your
self in the cloak of Odd Fellow
ship and come to Mathews to at
tend "A Brother ODD Fellows"
funeral. And since you did not
remain until the funeral, we are
forced to draw the conclusion that
you really came to attend
brothers funerals and not your
cousins.
You should have remained un-
til Tuesday and YOU would have
had the opportunity of attending
or Witnessing the first funeral Of
your brother Odd Follow, for our
records do not show you have
ever attended an Odd Fellows
funeral. We have no excuse to
offer for not attending Brother
JudsOn Hodges funeral on Aug.
Ist. we were already excused.
My brother. none of us will die
until our time comes, unless some

you and | each. will have good

our bodies in old mother earth

TEURsDAY, AUGUST 10, 1900,

The Democrats who supported
Mr.. Fucker in bis campaign and
who necessarily feel cha9Iin at
his defeat. san scarcely do better
than to govern their conduct in
Che Eight preceding the general
election by the principles laid
down by the defeated candidate
In a recently made statement.
Though defeated, Mr.. Tucker
proves himself to be a Democrat,
and IN his statement clearly dem
.onstrates the fact that he holds
the principals Of his party in high
,er regard than any personal griey-
ance which he might have suffer-
ed at the hands OF its Leaders. To
our minds he appears inconCeiv-
ably greater now, when smarting
from the disappointment caused
by his defeat for the nomination
and necessarily feeling bitter re-
sentiment against those who
brought about this result, he yet
remains true to the doctrines Of
his fathers and calls upon his
friends TO stand by his successful
Opponent; then when in the
heat Of the campaign with an eff
iectiveness greatly Enhanced by
the brilliancy of his oratory he
criticised and derided the record
of his opponent.
Not success but defeat tries
ones metal. and if this statement
records his real feeling then Mr..
Tucker has proven himself a true
Democrat and loyal patriot by
his adherence evan in the hour of
defeat TO the party whose Success
he believes to be necessary to the
welfare of the Old Dominion. We
only hope that all of his support
.ers believe and will act as he has
done. His statement follows:
Now that the results of the
Y Urinary have been definitely asser-
tanned. ! cannot fail to express to
INV friends in the State of Virginia
who so loyalty supported me, my
sincere appreciation Of the honor
they did me in expressing their
preference for me as the Demo-
