I do not say we ought to be happier
as we grow older, but we ought to be

not tell what IT means.-Jewett.

loan. But the senior Rockefeller
showed clearly that he is dead set
against being a party to promoting
the bloodshed.
In reference to the Wall street re-
port that financing the war was en-
abling Morgan to take from Rockefel--
Ter the title of "the richest man in the
world" this question was put to
Rockefeller:
What effect will it have on con-
ditions, if Morgan negotiates this bill
ion-dollar war loan for the aflies?"
Then instead of answering directly
he recited this:
"A wise old owl lived in an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why can't we all be like that bird?"
Today a man, very close to Rookie
Teller, stated authoritatively that on
one occasion Rockefeller had been
approached by Russian agents with
deal involving $5O,0OO,OO0 and had
turned them down

County School Board

At the annual meeting of the County
School Board held in Woodstock
Aug. 10Th it was decided to open the
high schools on Sept. 9Th and all
other schools on October the 4th. The
rural schools open earlier this year
than in former years. In this way
those schools which take advantage
OF the rural school appropriation will
not run SO late into the spring.
Compulsory Education, which was
approved by the voters at the last
general electi on, becomes effective at
the beginning of this session. Twice
during the session a careful survey
will be made of all children of school
age who are not attending school.
The several District Boards hope that
parents will have their children in
school promptly and regularly but
those who violate the provisions of
this act will be dealt with accordingly.
The County Institute will be held
on Septem Der the 30th and October
the LIST, in Woodstock. The afternoon
session of October the LIST will be given
tc school league work. It is hoped
to have delegates from every league
in the County.
In view of the fact that smallpox
has made its appearance early in
certain parts of the County it is urged
that parents safeguard their children
by having them vaccinated before
school begins.
The attendance in all schools of the
County last year was $40. This was
an increase OF 1852 over the proceeding
year. We hope for an increase this
coming session over the past but it |
cannot be done unless the patrons CO.
operate with teachers and school |
officers bv sending their children
regularly to school.
Very respectfully yours.

OBITUARY..

The death of Bushy H. Brill, of
Washington, D. c., cast gloom over
the community of zepp, Va, where he
was born and where he spent his life
until he removed to the city seven
years ago. he, in company with his
brother and other friends was bath.
ing in the Patomac river near Wash
ington where he went down on &C.
count of heart failure. His body was
found after search of several hours,
and was taken to his home.
He had been engaged in hospital
work since his residence in the capitol
city and gained the confidence and
esteem of his employers oy his life in
tegrity. His genial disposition and
freedom from vicious habits won for
him many friends, and scores of his
admirers came to view his remains,
and to tender their sympathy to his
bereaved wife and family. His 1e-
mains were brought to his former
home at Zepp, where funeral services
were held on July 31st by his pastor.
The floral tributes laid upon his
casket By his Washington friends
were elaborate. A large congrega-
ton of Borrowing and sympathizing
friends attended the funeral services.
Deceased was in his 35th year and
bad been a member of the Christian
Church at Zepp for more than 20
years, and lived life in harmony
with his profession. His parents,
John A. Brill and wife feel the wei ght
of this sorrow all the more because
their son and his good wife were ar
ranging to return to the old home in
the future and care for his parents in
their failing health and declining
days. Pis estlmable wife-a bride
less than two years ago-sits to day
in the shadow of a great sorrow; but
her implicit faith in God inspired by
the hope of meeting again will enable
her to bear this bereavement without
murmering. Nav the Father of all
mercies, the God of all grace sustain
and comfort the sorrowing.

Peyt0n B. GraveIy.

In the death at Woodstock, Va, on
Saturday of Captain Peyton B. Grav.
ely, one of the oldestcitizens and lead
ing tobacco manufacturers of Dan.
vile for many years passed away at
the venerable age of so years. For
more than forty years resident Of
Danville, he was during all that time
actively and prominently identified
with the city's tobacco trade ard
particularly with its manufacturing
interests, perpetuating the fame of the
Lame in the field of tobacco manu-
featuring. Relinquishiug active work
few years ago, he had lived in rest
full quiet amid the scenes of his war;
time activities in the beautiful Shen-
andoah valley.
A member of the widely known
Henry county family of the name,
when young man he entered the to-
bacco manufacturing business with
father and followed it unil the war
came on when, like many others of
the flower of young Virginia man
hood, he gave his services to the Con-
federacy and made an enviable record
as a soldier, serving until the close
OF the struggle with gallantry and fl
deity. A few years after the surrer-
der he removed to Danville and had
since made his home here until about
three years ago. During the forty
or more years he resided here he had
an excellent record as a good citizen
and an unusually popular one. His
career in the tobacco manufacturing
field is almost coincident with the real
development of Danvile as a tobacco
market. By far the greater number
of those who were his business asso
ciates and fellow townsmen have long
since preceded him to the grave, but
he was widely known among the
generation.
The passing OF Captain Gravely
suuders another of the links that con-
nected the Danvilie of today with the
town 1870. Few men were so gen.
orally esteemed and so beloved as
4. Captain Peyt," as he was known tol
many of the younger element of the
tobacco trade and the local popula-
ton. His long life had been an honor
able, useful and creditable one

Permit Granted.

The first free use permit to be grant
ed by the Government for timber or
wood on either the Massanutten or
Potomac Areas was issued by the
Forest Examiner in Charge, August
10Th. to the Methodist Church of
Edinburg, Va. The permit is modest
in amount, being for only one half
cord of dry pine torch wood to be
used at ar evening meeting soon to
be held at Redus. Mr.. ]. B Grand
staff has been commissioned by the
Church authorities to gather and haul
the wood from the mountain.
There is little doubt but that as
winter approaches there will be an
ever increasing demand not only from
churches and schools to get free uss
permits for wood, bnt from farmers
who will desire to purchase fuel in
various qua ntities, for their own
needs and to sell.
