Obituary
wAt1gA ewrN AuoeiNs

On the sixth day of February
1911, Walter Gwyn HrdginS died
at his home on Gwyn's Island,
in the County OF Mathews. IN the
seventS-sixth year OF his age.
lie Nvas lineal defendant Of
Col. Hugh Gwyn. to whom the
Island. bearing his name. was
granted by the Crown of England
in the year 1912. and had spent
all his life at his historic home.
except the time that he was IN
the army of Northern Virginia
during the great war between the
states.
Mr.. Hudg;ns was one Of the
young men who enlisted in Com
pany d of the 24th Regiment OF
Virginia Cavalry, and was made
a sergeant. and served through
some of the most eventful cam
paigns and9ras of that great war.
He was lovingly known and re
ferred to by the people of his
community as Uncle Robert.
His life was spent in farming and
merchandising and he was much
beloved by all who knew him.
How sad is the recollection
that the ranks of the Confeder
ate Veterans are thinning SO rap
idly, as one by one they cross the
River to answer to the last roll
call.
The genial disposition. retiring
manners. and charitable deeds OF
Walter Hudgins will embalm his
memory in the hearts of all who
knew him.
His death was very sudden. anc
he was found dead in his room by
one of his nephews who lived with
him. diving without having to 50
fer through even a briet illness.
His body was carried to the home
of his sister, Mrs. Il. E Edwards.
The funeral service was held H.
the Gwyn's Island Baptist ChurCl
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Snddith.
Six nephews bore his body to The
ola family burrying grOu i

THURSDAY, April 20 1911

Political victory is not all
happiness. with It comes res
possibility. The New York
World IN congratulating the Dem
ocratic Party upon its great vic
tory last fall gave utterance to
the above pertinent expression.
We were stuck with the truth
and force of the, statement at
that time. To-day it's application
is obvious.
The battle cry of the democrats
and insurgent repr blicans who
overthrow the republican re-
gime last fall was Economy. ;"
We will support any Larty, they
virtually said who will lessen the
present high cost of living and
clean out the hot-beds of corrup-
ton now existant. Ry promis-
ing to bend every effort TO bring
about the desired changes the
democrats rode into power last
November and are now on proba
hon. so to speak. The present
IS to them them the day of oppor
tunity. by passing tn Canadian
Reciprocity Measure. bill pro
viding for the popular election Of
u. S. Senators and publication
of campaign contributions before
elections and revision of the
most obnoxious schedules Of the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff bill they
will redeem their anti election
pledges. secure the confidence of
the people and most proba bly, be
the means Of electing d Demo
cratic president and senate in
1912. Let them fail to make ear
nest effort to secure the passage
Of these laws and the defeat of ouI
party next time will result.
OF course we are aware that a
Democratic House can make no
laws without the concurrence of
the President and the Senate
both Of whom are now Republi
can. but this should not prevent
them from making a determined
-effort. With the numerous Ins1r
gents in the Senate and anhoneSt
president i'll the White House we
believe that they will succeed if
the effort be honestly made.
AT present the outlook is prom
Using. During two weeks in
session the Democratic Congress
has abolished useless Offices
and cut out extravagant eXpendi
lures that have been costing this
government: over two hundred
Thousand dollarseach year. They
have passed and sent up to the
Senate a bill providing for the
popular election OF u. ). Senators
land have made considerable pro
gress in the discussion of the in
iquitious tariff bill. Keep up the
good work MIR. Congressman ana
the triuInpth of our Grand old
party" is assured.

Ing powder and soapr--they were
stirred several times during the boil.
Ing process. After twenty minutes
they were taken from the stove, put in
a tub, cold water poured over them
and left until morning. The tubs OF
rinse water were now filled for use on
the following day. In che morning az
soon as breakfast was over. the clothes
that had been boiled were rubbed on
the board. while the towels and SINH.
lar articles were put on TO boil The
first clothes were soon ready for the
line, and the washing was finished in
the early morning hours before the
heat OF the day made the work op.
pressive. Another point In favor OF
this plan Is that in summer the great.

Sometimes heavier canvas is used
