JOHN NJ. RATLIFF PASSES AWAY
Whitcwood. Va. MAY II.

Whltcwood, Va, May II.
Early Saturday morning, May Is,
Hon. John NJ. RatliG, one of Buch-
anan County's oldest and most highly
respected citizens, passed away at the
home of his son, Milton b. RatlT,
near Marvin, as the result Of the in
Jury he received when he fell from Il
hack several days ago, while return
ing from Grundy. While it had been
feared that his injury was mortal
one, and in spite of the fact that his
death had been momentarily expect
cd by some, the entire community
was greatly shocked when it heard
the sad news. The funeral took place
Sunday, May l6 in the John Ward
cemetery on Dismal, and was con-
Quoted by the Masonic Fraternity, of
which order Mr.. Ratlif had long been
n member. Masons from both White
wood and Grundy Lodges participant
ed i'll the imposing ceremonies. The
largest crowd ever seen ut the Ward
graveyard, and one Of the largest
ever seen ut any burial in the Coun-
ty, came out to pay their last tri-
butte of respect to Uncle John.
He has 4 host of relatives and
friends in several counties and states
who will deeply regret his taking
Off. Up to the time of his injury he
he had been healthy, and fairly ac-
tive, considering his great weight and
advanced age, being as he was, in
his cighty-second year
All of us must long remember his
hearty handshakc and bcaming smile.
His death has left in our hearts an
aching void which can nc'er be filled
He is survived by his widow, dear
old aunt Polly Ann. who is some
three Of four years his senior; also
by three children, Milton b. Ratliir,
with whom has has lived for several
years. Mrs. Matte Nash, of Raven,
and Mrs. Nancy Yost, Of pikcvillc,
Kentucky. Our hearty sympathy goes
out TO them in their bereavement. II

MAKE LABOR UNIONS EQUALLY
RESPONSIBLE.

A law should be passed compelling
all labor unions to incorporate be-
fore being allowed to do business
and make contracts. All the coal and
other large, public institutions and
companies, are forced to incorporate
Ito be made and held responsible
for their contracts. 1t seems only
fair and business like to compel the
Unions to abide with their contracts,
the same as the party with whom
th.y contract. AS now, the union can
fly contract, call strike, quit
WORK, and the company has no re-
dr. IS. II company goes back on a
contract, the unions have redress.
The Unions are contractors, and
should be made to put up n forfeit
for the compliance of their contracts.
If this were so there would be, either
no strikes or no unions. And this is
the way it looks from car low perch
in the tower.

THE "DAY OF PEACE" IS NOT
PASSED.

The revival at Liberty Hill has
proven that "the day of peace is not
passed. Rev. j. Newton Graham has
continued to preach in his accus-
toned manner. proving the power of
God to save sinners is in the gospel
of Jesus Christ. His power as an
evangelist has gone out far and near,
many coming from other sections of
the country to hear him and have
gone away convicted or converted.
After II days preaching, 43 people
have professed repentance and faith
in Jesus Christ's power; thirty
additions have been made to Liberty
Hill Methodist church, 90 by CONVEX
sion and 7 by certificate; this gives
the church a total membership of 70
members.
w. II. Buchanan has been apopint-
ell church lay leader, c. X. Ruther-
ford class leader, Preston Angles,
Sunday school superintendent. All
these appointments were made by
the pastor. Rev. a. S. Ulm.

MIR. GEORGE W. PATTON.


Extracts from statement and re-
marks made by Rev. j. N. Hartman
George w. Patton died at his home
IN Tazcwell, Virginia, on May 10th
1870, IN his S5th year. He became q
citizen of this county 81 years ago
having moved here from Carroll Coun-
ty, Virginia, in 1867. He, with his
family, moved to this town from Bap-
tist Valley "a years ago.
lie served the County as Justice of
the Peace for 20 years, and was
Mayor Of our town for one year. lie
administered his trust as an officer
OF the ! aw in the fidelity and Impair
TALLY, and without fear or favor.
Has been faithful member of the
Christian church for more than half
u century, having served as Elder in
three congregations, viz: Union
Chapel, Baptist Valley and Tazcwell.
Married his present wife February
18th, 1873. He was Il faithful hus-
band, kind father, good neighbor,
respected citizen. He had no
enemies. Never spoke unkindly of
anyone. He was asked several years
ago by one Of his sons while walking
over one of our beautiful hills, to
what he attributed to good health
and strength at his advanced age.
His reply may be included in one
word-Tcmpcrancc, or self control.
While he exhibited in his life and
character all the Christian graccs.
and bore all the fruits of faith, and
grace of Gentlcncss specially stamp
ed him as one among few Christians.
possessing this grace which he de-
lighted to cultivate under all cir
cumstanccs. ave never tire of tho
gentle in youth, manhood and old
age. Lure is ever constant.
"Gentlcncss never faileth. Like a
mothers hands there is nothing so
soit, nothing so constant, nothing so
sure. Bindings cling to downy nests;
stars fall asleep on the nights soft
bosom; angels move TO gentle music.
Other charms fade and fall rs the
leaves; the charm of gcntlcncss
abidcs forever"
So too, we are never wcared by
gentle people. We like to be with
them. We welcome their coming and
we lament their going In certain
hours we may crave the stimulus of
wit and wisdom. But we would not
care to tarry long with the wits and
wiseacrcs, unless they were also
gentle"
His eight sons and two daughters,
together with their companions and
children now number 1872, who with
his faithful and devoted wife sur
vive him. At his suggestion made n
few days before his death this count
Of his descendants was made.
He had not accumulated large
amount Of the worlds goods to leave
to his descendants, but has left them
"A richer heritage in the life he lived
and the character he developed. Veri-
~ he rests from his labors and his
works follow him.
He always prayed in every prayer
Give us Il peaceful hour in which
to die" This prayer was surely
answered in his case. for he died
without a struggle. like one falling
asleep, surrounded by his wife and
children who tcnderly ministercd to
his wants to the last

him for so many years. But for her
there are many consultations. The
road has been long, the way weary;
and calmly he has sought the way
side inn. His feet have crossed the
dreaded threshold. For him there is
no more pain. Hearts of dust can
never break. Lips that have kissed
the eternal silence will utter words
of grief no more. Eyes that have
been curtaincd by the darkness of
the tomb will never feel again the
burning touch of tears. Tired of the
dust and glare Of day, no doubt be
longed for the calm and peace of
night. Joyously, hand in hand they
have come all the length of life's
uneven road together, and for them
it has been very long and very happy.
But after all, it may indeed, be
vain to try to console the heart OF
one so old. Though with memory un-
dimmed and with eyes still bright
enough to count in her glass but a
few more grains of sand, she can
but be lonely indeed through her lifes
late evening. Perhaps her grief is
one that can not be gilded with SYM
pathetic words. After all the great
est consolation for her must be in
knowing that their separation in but
brief. that she will know him from
all the others in the great Innumer-
able Company, that she will hear and
know his dear voice in the Choir In
visible.
Take him, Mother Earth, to thy
cool embrace. Tcndcrly and softly
thou wilt hold him to thy soothing
breast, as he held his children and
grandchildren, "And from his UNI
polluted flesh may violcts spring"

What does this downward slide in

Wise business men in the centres of
trade do not think so, and say there
IL no occasion for alarm. and warn
against stampede. Presidential
years are always dull years in bust
ness, it is pointed out. The people
have been reckless in their cxpcndi-
lures, encouraging the manufacturers
and merchants in putting cxorbtant
prices on commodities, and the newt
able result has followed. Everything
has been inflated, as was predicted,
deflation must follow. Wildcat buy
ing and wildcat selling had to end,
and the end seems to be in sight.
There will be no panic if the people
who control the money markets, and
the consumers as well, keep cool, and
do not permit themselves to be
stampeded.
The most serious situation con-
fronting the country is that of the
future food supply. Scarcity of labor
on the farms will reduce the products
of the farmers to the breaking point,
particularly should drought or
other disaster come before this sea-
sons harvest. The farms are being
deserted daily for city and public
works, where excessive wages are
promised. Would not Il slump in
wages in towns and cities be good
thing for the country at large?
Wages are abnormally high.
Any thing that would keep the
boys on the farm, and drive large
number of consumers from the towns
and cities to the farms, would be Il
blessing TO the entire country, and to
1t large part Of the world looking to
us to furnish bread and meat. From
