BIuemont Division Leased For
"a Years

The Bluemont Division of the South
ern Railway has been leased for
term of fifty years to the Washington
and Old Dominion Railway Co., of
which John r. Mclean, the Cincin-
natic multi millionaire, is the princi-
pal owner.
The road will be electrified and the

$50, 900 year for the third five years,

NINTH DISTRICT
NOW DEMOCRATIC

The fact that the Ninth Con
gressional district went Demo
cratic in the recent election Is
abundantly shown by the othclal
figures just filed in the office OF
the secretary of the common
wealth. Taking those ten coun-
ties alone in which there were
direct fights between the parties
and using the vote for candidates
for the House of Delegates as a
basis it is seen that the Demo
cratic majority was 434. This
does not include the three coun-
ties of Bland, Giles and Pulaski,
where the Democratic nominees
for the House had no opposition
Counting these the majority oil
the party was 1854.

In Sad but Loving Rem embrance
OF Our Dear Daughter Who
Departed this Life Nov.
~, 1909.

The month of November once more il
here,
To us the saddest of all the year,
Because it took from US away
Our dear Georgia two years ago
today.
Oh, the memory OF that morning,
AS stood with acheing hear:
Seeing the one loved SO dearly
Pierced by deaths most evil dart
Friends may think l have forgotten,
And my aounded heart is healed,
But they little know the sorrow
Tha. lies with n my heart concealed.
Do not ask me if l miss her,
Oh there's such q vacant place
Oft think must see her coming,
Or must see her smiling face.
There is such sad longing
Deep down In my heart today
To see ence again oar dear Georgia,
Whom God has called away.
She left memory fair and sweet,
Its fragrance can never die;
Her life was brief yet still complete,
When she was called on high
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and ernest care.
Dur home is dark without the
We miss The everywhere.
HER MOTHER.
