Teutonic militarism would doubtless
look with contemptuous amazement Mt
the American idea Of discipline, which,
as in a case in South Carolina, would
hold an officer to account for giving a
private q blow. In the former system
that sort of discipline is not only al
lowed, but is also commended. To beat
up the inferior class is part of the d.
vine right of autocratic authority.

Mrs. v. B. Conrad Dies At Summit
Point.

Mrs. Eliza ]. Conrad, wife of Mr..
w. B. Conrad, died at her residence
near Summit Point last Saturday
morning, in the 18th year of her age.
She had been an invalid for several
years, suffering from that dread di-
sease, tuberculosis, and despite all
that loving family circle could do,
she gradually grew weaker until she
peacefully fell asleep. She was a
Miss McCarroll before her marriage,
and was native of Ireland. She was
a woman of splendid christian charac-
ter, and was lifelong member of the
Methodist Church. She was the cen
ter of devoted family circle, and was
a kind and loving wife, mother and
friend. She is survived by her hus-
band, and three children, Mrs. B. F.
Yates, Mrs. Ella Harnsberger, and
Circuit Clerk G. w. Conrad, besides
one brother, Mr.. James McCarroll, of
Brucetown, Va. Funeral services were
held at her late residence yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, after which her
body was brought to Charles Town
and laid to rest in the family lot in
Edge Hill Cemetery.

Just word for Rev. H. M. Moffett,
who has been pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church here for six years. We
have often heard it expressed by mem
bers of his congregation as well as
others, that Mr.. Moffett was an ear
nest, excellent good preacher, he al
ways has the undivided attention of his
hearers, he has an interesting way of
expressing thought and pleasing man
ner. His sermons have always shown
careful study and preparation, in other
words he is thoroughly familiar with
the scriptures and is rarely gifted in
their explanation. Should we parti-
cularize-would say the past two Sun
days were his best. But Mr.. Moffett
never breaches an Indifferent sermon,
they are all good. We regret exceed
ingly to lose Mr. and Mrs. Moffett as
well as the children from our church
and community. Our best wishes go
with them to their new home and field
of usefulness to which they have re-
Gently been called. They expect to
leave within a few weeks for their
new home in Georgia.
