IN MtMoRIAM

This neighborhood was shocked oy the
death of Mr.. Ira +. Gray on Wed, April
l4tb. 1909, in the 54th year OF his age,
from stroke OF paralysis. Seemingly
in the best OF health. and always about
his business in a most cheerful way tends
TO make his death a particularly sad one
He has left behind a priceless heritage,
IN that no matter what reverses or al
iietiOns. he looked to tender Father
Tor strength to overcome. Mr.. Gray
was most progressive farmer. He was
laid to rest in Shiloh churchyard by
sorrowing friends. A devoted wife, three
sons, FIVE brothers and d sister survive
him. May the tender care of the loving
Father rect and abide with the devoted
family In their deepest distress. And
then for those, our dearest and our best.
we appeal: OH fold them closer to Thy
Mercy's breast; OH do Thine utmost for
their souls true veal -

CORN CROP AND PRIZES

We are glad to note that there Is
considerable interest being manifest
ed In she proposition We made sev-
eral days ago so offer some substan-
tial money prizes at our next fair
for the best exhibits OF corn pro-
duced in this community, aud we be-
lieve that the proposal Is going to
materialize into something substan-
tial in the way OF prizes and improve
ment in shat great staple crop.
Vast improvement has been attain
ed elsewhere by similar means. In
South Carolina the Legislature
made an appropriation for the en-
enlargement OF better corn cultiva-
ton and improved methods of select
ing seed, etc, which Is said to have
resulted In an increase in the value
Of the crop OF over a million dollars
in one year. The same results can
be attained in Virginia, and it can
be accomplished with greater facility
by taking she matter up in localities
where corn is the chief crop. Corn
prizes have been offered at our fail
TOR several years and they we're good
features, but this year We should
have larger prizes.

The grand jury IN session here this
week lie special grand jury, sum
moned chiefly, IL not altogether, TO
look into the question OF violations
OF the local option law. The jury Is
composed OF nine gentlemen, who
have the confidence and respect Of
the community. The foreman, Mr..
W. g. Chesley, is an ardent dry man
and a majority OF the jury are OF the
same bel!ei,so that it is most natural
30 suppose shat the work OF the
grand jury will be exhaustive and
complete. Judge Goolrick's charge
to the jury was strong and clear as
TO the sale OF Intoxicating drinks and
as TO she sale Of the so-called NEAR
beer" Neither can be sold In any
shape and the court assured the
grand jury OF every assistance in
their work. We hope that no viola.
lions OF the law win escape the notice
OF the grand jury.
