WEST VIRGINIA has sustained a great
loss the past week in the death OF three
OF our most distinguished public men
Congressman VIM. c. Brown on Thurs
day, Hon. Henry q. Davis on Saturday,
and former Governor VIM. NJ. o. Dawson
on Sunday. Congressman Brown was in
the fuIlneSs OF a useful and busy life, and
his death is an event that will have de-
cided effect on political affairs in his dis
trict. Mr.. Davis had reached the ripe
old age Of 93years, and he leaves arecord
of integrity and usefulness that may well
be an inspiration 10 the young men OF the
State and OF the country. In Mr.. Daw-
sons death the State loses the services of
wise and able man who has done much
for the public welfare and TO whose in
flucnce the people are indebted for some
OF the most advantageous laws place on
the statute books in recentyears. These
good men will be missed because OF their
public services and their useful citizen
ship.
