MARY MOORE DESCENDANTS
UNvEIL MONUMENT TO HER

Harrisonburg. Va, Aug 1i.--One
of the most interesting events ever
pulled off in the Valley was that yes-
terday at New Providence church
west of Raphine, in Rockbridge coun-
ty. when the descendants of Mary
Moore met in annual session to cele-
brate the memory of their ancestress,
who in the early days of the colony
was captured by the Indians and who
later on was rescued by her brother
and became the wife of Rev. Samuel
Brown. and the mother OF Rev. Will
liam Brown, for some years pastor OF
The Old Stone church nj Fort De-
fiance. Mrs Brown also had other
sons who were ministers of the gos-
pei in the Presbyterian church.
The main address OF the day yester-
day was delivered by Rev Charles
Dahney. of Cincinnati, a descendant OF
Mary Moore. His address was an en-
tireiy appropriate one.
After the address monument to
the memory OF this distinguished
woman OF another generation was un-
yelled. the funds for this monument
having been contributed by her de
scendants who live far and near.
Hundeds Of people attended the
excuses yesteday and the day was
very pleasantly spent In renewing old
acquaintances. Many of the Mary
Moore descendants from a distancs
were present.

Foster ALI Het Up
Over Guam League

New York. Aug. John Foster,
the well-known secretary OF the New
York Baseball club, and assistant 70
every sporting editor in the country

perturbed these days. In fact, he liz
all net up about something.
For a long time this mysterious
something that seemed to be disturb
ing the mind of the landmark in base
ball records. was a. mystery to all his
friends, but as there can be nothing
between friends. it naturally came out
the other day.
AS matter of fact this troublesome
affair did not seem to amount to very
much TO many of Johns friends, but
they are showing their sympathy in
fine style The cause OF the mental
disorder, IL We may call 1t that. was
nothing more nor less than the Guam
Island Baseball league. which is one
of Johns favorite pets
1t seems that this Guam Island
league was composed largely--in fact,
entirely, of service teams. soldiers,
jackies and marine, who are stationed
on the eoalng station island. The
war apparently has hit the clubs
rather hard. and in spite of all of
Johns efforts he cannot learn the
latest batting averages of the respec-
tive stars of the little club. which is
a bout ready to knock at the door of
professional baseball for Ambulance.
