ROMANTIC MARRIAGE

One chapter in what appears tt
be a pretty romance came to The
attention of Montereyans on Tues
day evening.
Coming by automobile from
Staunton, a nice-looking couple
registered at the hotel as w. r
Thompson and Athie Thompson, Of
Winston-Salem, N. c., and the
former began making anxious in,
quiry as to how to reach the Dry
Run section of West Virginia.
1t developed later that he had
come to take bride whom he had
never seen, and knew only by cor
respondence, and the lady of his
quest was Miss Nelson of the sec
tim before mentioned.
The party proceeded on their
way Wednesday morning, and at
high noon were married. by Rev.
Mr.. Ferguson.
They reached Monterey on the
return trip about 4:30, and soon
left for Staunton, apparently hap
by as newly-weds could be.

Sudden Death.

This community was shocked to
hear of the sudden death, on Thurs
day morning, of Mrs JAG OBJ l.. Shn'
mate at her home near New Salem
on the Bull Pasture River.
She was in her usual health and
| had gone to the COW lot to assist
with the milking. Her son going
a little later found her unconscious
and death ensued soon after she
was taken to the house.
Mrs. Shumate was a daughter OF
the late Henry Seybert, of st. Creek,
and three of her fathers family
H. H. Seybert, and Miss Jemlms'
of St, Creek, and Mrs. VIM, Jones,
of Doe Hill, surviveher. SheleaVes,
of her immediate family, an aged
husband and six children: John and
Mrs. Annie Wilson, of Illinois; W.
S., of Staunton, Mrs Lockridge, OF
Mcdowell, Robert of the same
neighborhood and Lon with whom
she lived. Mrs. Shumate was one
of the best women in the county, a
statement that we believe tC be
true as to every relation in life
mother, wife, neighbor, friend. 1t
was pleasure to visit her home,
which was the synonym of hospi-
tality. She was a member of the
Methodist Church, and her life was
crowned by all virtues of the sim
cere, earnest christian.

A JUNE F91SI

Not since the memorable days OF
June, 1856, have the people of this
section had such q close call at the
hands Of Jack Frost al this season
Of the year. Friday and Saturday
nights last the mercury got reck'
lessly low in the tube, and as a
result much damage was done to
growing plants, potatoes and gar
den truck generally. Tie loss sus-
tanned by the gardeners on the
lower lands was much heavier than
on more elevated ground, the de-
struction, as to gardens, in some
localities, being virtually whosesa'e.
The valley north and south OF town
suffered greatly, as did also sections
of the Crabbottom and Back Creek
valleys. In and near Monterey the
frost cut some queer caners: In
some gardens, scattering hills of
beans would be taken ami the 9TH
ers left; plants in one garden would
be injured while just across the
fence another mans planting would
entirely.
Where cultivation had been done
the day before, the damage was
more marked, hence the lazy or
negligent trucker proved to e the
one in luck.
At the time this is written the
county has not been heard from as
a whole, but it is safe to say that
wheat and corn crops were not
seriously hurt.
The mercury dropped to the
dangerous point of 3S, and it is
rather a marvel that the destruc-
ton was not more complete.

Resolutions adopted by Nc
DoWell Camp of M. W. A

Edward Ashby Hammer may be
ftev characterized as a man of
energy and public spirit. In recent
years scarcely an enterprise has been
launched in Stonewall District with
out the touch of his hand. His UNI
relenting toll for the sake of his
business and his loved ones doubt
less had much to do with his early
decease. As with his work, so too
with his large family his devotion
was marked. As a neighbor and
officer in our camp he was true to
every duty.
Therefore since it has pleased AL
mighty God to remove from our
midths this esteemed neighbor for
many years our excellent banker,
be it resolved:
First That we bow in submlss-
ion to the will of him who hath
done all things well.
Second That we keenly feel this
neighbours loss.
Third That we express our SYM
patty for his widow and children.
We rejoice that the society is able
in part to provide for their physical
needs. We earnestly pray that the
| God of all comfort will be a loving
heavenly Father to them; that ne
will protect their moral interests
with fatherly care; that spirit
hally he will supply all their needs
according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus; that in every way
they may be assured that the eternal
God is their refuge and underneath
are the everlasting arms.
Fourth-That these resolutions
be spread upon our minutes, and
read at the memorial service on
June 9, 1912, and that copy be
furnished to the bereaved family
and to the Highland Recorder.

The new law relating to vital
statistics went into effect on June La
and the state authorities have sen|
out most of the blanks to be used
in carrying out the provisions of thI
act. The principle duties imposed
fall on physician, justices of tht
peace who are made registrars =
and undertakes.
In rural districts the coopeartiof
of the people will be very importan,
in cases of death, because no under
taker is allowed, under penalty of
fine, to bury any person until certain
information can be COTTON, such az
age, parentage, place of death anc
cause thereof, and friends of de
ceased persons, in remote sections
will insure prompt burial and ali
the authorities by having this infor
nation in hand. so that when tn
undertaken applies to the justice o
his deputy for a permit to bury, tn
required questions can be answered
1t will take some time to get tn
new law to working smoothely il
many sections, but it will be wei
for all who have an opportunity tt
inform themselves and be in read
mess to adm the important work
There are provisions made for bur
ial in isolated cases, where no ply
stefan was present, and make tn
report within ten days, but only II
extreme cases, 1t is our purpos
to publish the new act and civ,
such information as will tend to pre-
vent embarrassing delays and con
fusion in complying with the pro
visions. Meantime, it will be we
to prepare answers as to place O
birth, parentage, age. place an
cause of death, SO that they can b
given when asked for at any tim
after the death occurs.

State Farmers Defend

Charles V. Meredith and John
Pickrell, of Richmond, have been
retained by the Va. State farmers
Institute to defend the suit brought
by the lime burners of this State
to defeat the operation of the con-
vict lime bill. The announcement
that these attorneys would aid the
Acknowledgement in upholding tie
validity of the act by the last Legis-
lature was made yesterday by
Westmoreland Davis, of Loudoun,
president of the institute.
MI. Davis further said that he
presumed the convict lime board,
which is charged with the execution
of the law, would put it into effect
unless prevented by an order from
the courts. He regards the recent
proceedings as the consumnatlon
ny the lime burners of the sugges-
ton made during the session of the
Legislature.
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Davis
last night, that manufacturers who
are in many instances selling low
grades of line at exorbitant prices
place profits first and areloth to for
60 the revenue upon which they
have fattened at the expense of the
farmers. Virginians have been
forced to pavfor lime as high as $40
the ton, for the equivalent of which
ground limestone the Illinois farmer
pays 90 cents and $1.20 the ton,
while the Iowa farmer secures it at
25 cents the ton, when bought in
forty-ton cars.
THE feeling on this subject is in
tense, as was shown by a largema-
jority given the bill when it was
passed. This feeling is not likely to
be assuaged by the combined efforts
of the lime burners to defeat this
legislation. ''-Times-Dispatch.
