became housebound. His condition
later was alarming and he fingered
until death closed the scene.
Hubert Snowden's political career
during nearly thirty years has been
a subject of investigate recently and
from all that has been published dur
ing the past few days it does not
need recapitulation in this article. 1t
can, however, be said that he passed
off the stage Of life with clean hands.
He entered the City Council with
such men as John 3. SmoOt, Col. l..
w. REID, William H. Marbury, Edw.
S. Leadbeater, and other safe and
sound representative of the people
of Alexandria and was tutored in u
school Of political economy from
which some of the best men of our
city have graduated As councilman
from the First ward, he performed
his duty conscientiously, and the same
can honestly be saidof his duties while
acting Mayor, chairman of the fir
ance committee, member of the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund, and
member Of the light committee. Since
the early eighties, he had been cuerk
of the school board. His duties in this
Iaborious occupation were performed
with diligence and satisfaction.
In closing this notice reference
should be made to the fact that with
his death there is but one repreSen-
tative now living Of the family of
which Mr.. Snowden was member
Mrs. Mary Wallis: wife of Rev. DR..
Wallis. At the close of the civil
war, the household numbered four
teen. The decease Of the last male
member brings sincere sorrow to
many now living who in bygone years
were acquainted with them all, and
who so justly esteemed them. They
now mingle their tears with
those to whom he was near and dear,
while the mantle of sorrow is resting
upon them.

, ing a railway across the Isthmus.
Upon his return to this city in the lat
ter part of 1875 he re-entered the Ga
2ctte Office and assumed an unimport-
ant position in the job printing office
conducted by the Snowdens. He lat
er became reporter, working with
his brother, Edgar Snowden, until
1882 when he became local editor of
the Gazette. He continued at this
post until May i, 1901, when by the
death of his brother, Dr. Harold
Snowden, he became the chief editor.
With the industry of beaver he was
Il bunch of nerves and he threw all his
powers into the work, laboring in sea-
son and out of season in the employ
ment, never thinking of weariness,
until the strenuous occupation began
to manifest ominous results. Though
warned by his friends Of the inevita-
BILE fate which overtakes all who per-
sist in stretching nature to the dam
ger point, he was 10th to put on the
breaks until about nearly Il year ago
he realized he was nearing his ne plus
ultra. The Gazette at that time after
having been in possession of one fam
lily for century passed into the hands
of representatives of younger gen.
Grafton and he became spectator
of the progress of the paper in the on
ward march Of the twentieth century
He had been in declining health for
some time, and he had hoped that a
complete relief from the tolls and an
Xiety incident to the publication of a
daily newspaper would restore his
health. For a time it looked as if
his hopes were to be realized, but ser.
ious organic troubles from which he
had long suffered had made too much
headway. He continued to move
about, but his slow tread and anx-
ious look made it too plain to his
many friends that the fires of life
