I had dull, heavy pains through my kidneys and on one occasion I was confined to my bed for almost month.

Considerable frost was reported from
various sections Of the county on Wed
nesday morning last but it is thought
that 1t WAS too slight to cause any dam
age. So far there has been 40 damage
to the fruit and growers think that it
will soon be out of danger On most Of
early fruit the blossom has fallen off
the foliage has come out so as to pro-
tect the frat and render it safer from
the effects of the frosts. The peaches
and plums are especially susceptible to
frost and more than half the crops are
killed but it seems pretty certain that
these fruits will now escape.

es were delivered by Prof f.. ID. Tur-
ner, of Sheph erdstswn, superntend-
ent of the jefferson county schools;
Pref. Wirgman, principal Of the
schools at shenandoah junction. and
DR.. W. w. Brown, of Shenandoah
Junction.
| The ceremonies were simple but
impressive, and the large crowd re-
manned until the close. A feature of
tho OCCASION was the attendance of the
teachers and pupils of the schools of
Shenandoah junction, Mr.. Jas. Nj.
Geary presided durlngthe ceremonies.
General Darke, was born near Lam
caster, Pa, in 1885, but removed with
but years of age. In 1850 he joined
the regiment of provincials under
George Washington and took part in
the ill-fated Braadock ampaign
against the French and Indians, be-
ing III the disastrous battle Of Fort
Duquesne During the Revolutionary
War he comm anded a regiment under
General Washington, and was present
at the surrender: Of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown. General Darke command
ed the Second Virginia Regiment dar-
ing the campaign Of General st. CLAIR
against the Indians in Ohio and In
diana, and was in The great battle be-
tween the white forces and the Indian
chieftain, Little Turtle, which result
ed in The defeat of st. Clair's forces.
General Darke died in this county in
November, 1901, at the age of 81 years.
The town of DArkesville, this county
was named after him.
Captain Darke was the youngest
son of the old soldier, and command
ed company in his fathers regiment
during the st. Clair campaign, and
was killed in the battle between the
Indians ana whites on the banks of
the St. .Mary's river, near Fort
Wayne, Ind. His body was brought
back to Berkeley county for burial.
Despite number Of efforts to place
suitable markers at the graves of Gen
7 ersl Darke and Captain Dsrke, the
: movement was not successful until
taken up by the r. o. s. of A. of
Shenandoah junction, and the mem
bers of that order are to be congratu-
lated upon their patriotic achie' e.
ment.
