DIES ON STREET

Bridgewater, May 23.-Rev. j.
N. Willis, pastor of the Bridgewa-
ter and Mt, Crawford Baptist
churches, dropped dead here on the
corner of commerce and Main
streets today shortly after twelve
O. clock. Rev. Mr.. Willis appeared
to be in his usual health this morn
ing when he went down to his
church on the corner of Bank and
Main streets to fill his regular APP
pointment at II o'clock. His text
was taksn from the lst verse OF 9Th
Chapter Of Galatians .-'Stand fast
therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath-made us free, and be
not entangled again with the yoke
of bondage" and he preached an
unusually vigorous sermon. After
proaouneing the benediction, he
came out of the pulpit and greeted
his members with cordial hand
shakes and happy smiles. He left
the church in company with his
wife and q friend, chatting pleas
antly with them up to the corner
where he was stricken. He stop
ped on the corner to speak to a
friend and just as they were in the
act of parting, he fell to the pave
mept and expired,

'SHORN LAMBS"
UNTFMPERED WINDS.

In recent issue we referred t
late frosts as among Highlands eli
abihties;' another one--sure al
taxes--is the cold rain in May, ant
it has this year resulted in great
loss to sheep-owners who had clip
ped their flocks.
The late date at which the inevi-
table cold rain came this season
May Dist and 22nd-made. mat
tiers all the worse, because even
those who had not forgotten it,
grew tired of waiting or thought
perhaps there would be none, and
were among the number of those
who had relieved their sheep of the
heavy fleece just before the storm.
The two-days' rain was accom-
panied by biting north wind, and
even cattle were badly chilled on
Friday morning. Of all dumb ami
mails, the sheep is, perhaps, the
dumbest and most helpless. In
stead Of resorting to violent exer-
else to promote circulation, Mr..
Sheep will get hump in his back,
lean up against log or run his
head under the fence and calmly
wait for the end.
Just how many were lost during
the storm of Friday and Saturday,
we have no means of ascertaining,
but the number, throughout the
county, will run into the hundreds,
and is quite serious. A secondary |
loss is that which will result to the
"motherless" lambs, the death of
the eve precluding the possibility
of perfect development.
While the experience argues fore
IDLY the Importance of stock-barns,
and while it will not be overlooked
by those who have been derelict
along this line, it is just to explain
that, in many instances, farmers
who might have sheltered their
sheep, had sheared and turned
them on mountain range or dis
tant pastures; and were not aware
Of the suffering or danger until too
ate.
Basing the estimate upon reports
in from one section of the
county, the loss to Highland farm
ers may be given as approximately
81, 900, and the estimate is believed
TO be conservative one.

LET THE GOOD WORK 60 ON,

The polluted, filthy stream OF
water, which, for years has been
allowed 10 run under the sidewalk
and overflow a choke1 culvert
! in front of the post-office, has been
conveyed directly across the street
in large thing, the work being done
early this week. The work of max
ing the change laid bare the aw-
full condition of things there, and it
is a wonder that an epidemic of
sickness did not result. 1t only
proves that our comparative i'm
munity from fever has been due to
the excellent climate and location
and not to any precautions on our
part. 1t is admitted by good
medical authority that, with due
regard to sanitary laws, Monterey
ans should never know anything
of typhoid fever, and, instead of
the isolated cases occurring annual
ly, perfect freedom from this dread
disease should be expected. The
town hes excellent drainage, is now
with sewer, has the pur-
est of water, and it's reputation for
healthfulness, during the summer
ought to become state
wide.
If there are any more germ-pro-
1ucing, waste places let us give
them attention, and to discover
such ought to be the business of
every citizen.

Tsyen in the midst Of horror there 10
occasionally a rift Of humor. 1t Is
said that at the time Of the Johnstown
food a grocer to whom one Of the ctti-
zens owed for an overlong time good
sized bill for provisions while floating
along on the top Of the waters In q
raft made of two window blinds and a
skylight caught sight Of bis DELINQUENT
debtor whirling around in one Of the
pools Of the eddying current cllnglng
to large hogshead.
"Ah there you are!" cried the grocer,
businesslike to the last. "Been look.
ing for you for several days. When
are you going to pay that bill?
Cant say just now, Sands, old
man." returned the unhappy debtor.

SCHOOL CLOSES

Without ceremony of any sort,
the Monterey High School closed
on Thursday last, the principal,
Mr.. N. E, Young, leaving Friday
morning for his home at Shawsville,
Va.
There we're three graduates in
the third year course: Thomas
Ogilvie, DIN Armstrong, and Mar
vim ColaW, the principal awarding
the scholarship at Washington and
Lee to Thomas Ogilvie, who made
the highest average.
There were the usual number of
promotions from grammar grade to
first year, first to second and Sec
ond to third, but Mr.. Young failed
to furnish this list for publication.
The Monterey school, running
for eight months, was the last to
close in the district, but in each
instance, the trustees were enabled
to continue the terms the full six
months, except as to two schools
where the average ran down toward
the close.
Credit is due to our supervisors
in providing sufficient money for
the six-month's term, and patrons
should "strain a point" to give
their children the benefit of the
long term, and cooperate in every
way in an effort to improve the
school system of the county, both
as to the rural and High schools.
