Death Of Mrs. Bradshaw.
Rice Depot, Va, June 7, O.

Rice Depot, va, June Z, ~.
Mrs. Mary A. Bradshaw was call
ed to her eternal home on Sunday,
May 18th, at o'clock. a. m. The
RENT lns were laid to rest in the
Baptist cemetery at Rice. on Monday
afternoon, the 18th.
This dear old creature was SO
years OF age and had been in full
heath for some time. For thirteen
years she was afflicted with blind
ness and could scarcely distinguish
light from darkness. All this ~she
patiently bore, wearing bright face
through all emergencies. Her life
of resignation was a great inspira-
ton to those who knew her.
For thirty years she had lived in
the home of Mr.. J. w. Wilson, be-
ing the widow of a relative Of
the family. and was loved by them
as a mother and grandmother, for
to know her was to love her How
hard it is to say THY will be done,
yet we know that He doeth all
things well" and find comfort in the
promise Of home beyond the tomb
where we will meet our loved ones
never more to part.
One Who Loved Her

of a Stuart and the daring and the
dash Of an Ashby. and as citizen
he wore the white plume of a
blameless life"
On his last visit to Farmville to
attend a meeting of the Board Of
Supervisors, of which he was long
an honored and useful member, he
sat for a time with two army COM
rades going over with them many
of the incidents of the war, and be-
fore they separated he said with an
emphasis and earnestness OF soul
which the writer now so wildly re-
calls, I'VE are all growing old and
the time is not far in the future
when we must join the great COM
manders who have already crossed
over the river"
In the Herald OF that week men
ton was made of this interview and
this warning Of our now dead friend
How little did we think that the
crossing of at least one of the num-
Der should so soon follow to join the
Peerless commanders of whom he
then spoke. But we enjoy the sweet
thought and comforting hope that
after the crossing has come then
will begin the resting under the
shad, of the trees that will know no
fadire or falling of any leaf.
Among those who attended the
funeral were all the officers of the
county with whom he had been as
ISOLATED through the years and who
know of his worth as a servant Of
the people as perhaps others never
knew. Comrade Haskins was sadly
missed from the last reunion of the
survivors of what he recognized as
an undying cause, his name often
being mentioned with tenderness and
love.
He will be Used from the Off
cial Circle OF Prince Edward, from
the business circles in which he NOV
ed. from the social circles where he
always carried good cheer and from
the family circle where he was loyal
and loving husband. and fond and
faithful father. They have buried
him in the soil of Virginia, in de-
fence of which he was ready not
only to suffer, but to die, while the
spirit has gone back to the God who
gave to the age in which he lived
the model head of a family, the
faithful friend, the kindly neighbor
the useful and patriotic citizen, the
humble Christian and the soldier
who knew no fear.

Vile People.


Vile People.
Too many Farmville citizens are
handicapped with a bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work a burden and
STOPPING or lifting an impossibility.
The back aches at night. preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief. but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys and cure them permanently.
Can you doubt Farmville evidence?
Mrs w. II. Palmore, Main street,
Farmville. Va, says: Several years

pains through the small of my back,

as Father


New York, May 12.-"I knew for
some time that father was going to
die" said Prince John. otherwise John
G. L. W. Guelph. as he posed for his
photograph in a Brooklyn boarding
house. Yes. I was afraid he was do
ing too much. Poor father, | wish
he could have lived longer. I am sure
l could have convinced him Of his er
rors in not acknowledging me as his
son and heir"
When the news Of the death OF King
Edward reached New York. Guelph
came out from his Brooklyn boarding
house retreat and announced once
more that he was the son OF the dead
monarch and heir TO the British
throne Maybe he Is. He looks more
Ike an Indiana preacher. But Prince
John does not favor the actions OF
ministers. He Is sure they are far too
dignified when Il comes TO a man tax
ing a glass of spirits.
Prince John has been the guest OF
various hotels in New York and other
parts Of the country and has left with
more or less speed per the request of
indignant hotel detectives.
Within the next fortnight Prince
John declares he will sail for England
and present such overpowering evI.
donce to King George that he viii be
taken into the British household.
Il am the son OF King Edward" said
Prince John. 'and can prove IT," He
has a couple OF servants. who refer to
him as his highness. But how John
makes his living Is somewhat OF a
mystery. He won't tell. and no one
knows
