most Of the time until November, 1895,
when failing health compelled him to
desist, his last Sabbath service being
a Communion service at the Presby-
terian church in Flora on the first
Sabbath of November.
Music, in which he excelled, was a
favorite recreation with him in his
younger days, and he was the author
Of number Of songs, the most noted
of which is "Flow Gently Sweet AZ
ton"
He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Mary d. J. Menefee, daugh-
ter of Major Menefee, of Jessamine
County, Kentucky. She died in 1S43
leaving an infant daughter who sur
vived her but few months.
In 1S45 he married Miss Eliza s.
Taylor, Of Jefferson County, Ken
lucky, a niece of General Zachary
Taylor, who died in August, 1866,
leaving six children, all of whom are
now living. Four others had died in
infancy or childhood
In this notice, giving mainly the
leading facts in his life, and prepared
by a member of his family at the re-
quest Of the editor of this paper, any
eulogy would be out of place. But his
life was an open one, singularly pure
and devoted to duty, and the care of
those he loved. And were it neces-
sary his children would willingly and
gladly bear the heritage of that life
than any earthly possessions he could
have left them, had he been possessed
of untold wealth. c. e. S.

such a course, stating that so long as
II Is necessary for the government TO

chaser retain them. Mr.. Glass said:
The Treasury must issue another
large loan before the end Of the fiscal
year, and ] am entirely In accord with
the policy already outlined-that this
loan should tako the form Of bonds Of
short maturities.

There were few persons in north
ern West Virginia who adhered to the
cause Of England in the Revolution
airy War. There was one uprising
along the Monongahela valley but it
was soon suppressed. 1t is recorded
that the leader was drowned in Cheat
River while crossing it under guard
on his way to Richmond. He was
under guard of two men of the
Morganfanily. The boat upset
while crossing the river and the
prisoner was not able to make his
escape. The general impression Of
citizens of the community at that
time was that the upsetting was not
wholly accidental for the guards did
not like the idea of the long journey
to Richmond while their homes and
those OF their neighbors were ex-
posed to attacks from Indians.
Money was so csarce in the Green
brier district of what is West Vir-
ginia at the time of the Revolution
that the people just could not pay
taxes. They fell delinquent four
years in succession to the amount of
$4,000. Leaders stated that the set
tiers were willing to perform labor
of some arrangement could be per-
eected. Virginia agreed to the pro-
osition and the people of Greenbrier
built road from Lewisburg to the
Kanawha river in payment of their
taxes.
