OBITUARY.

There is a Reaper, whose name is
Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow betwe,n.p
The age-old saying-"Whom the
Gods love die young was verified
in the death in Washington, ON April
rs, OF MARIE THOMPSON SIMPSON, the
young and beloved vile oil Henry r.
Simpson.
SO short had been her illness, that
but few outside of the city knew OF it,
and TO many, the news of her death
came like bolt from clear sky.
Welded but few short months, with
bright future, full Of promises and
happiness, it is hard 70 understand
why Marie should have been taken,
ana our hearts go out in loving sym
pathy to the sorrowing young husband,
10 whom the future now seems so dark
and gloomy.
Mrs. Simpson was young woman
of sterling worth, loved by all who
knew her and, 10 her death, personal
loss is felt, not only by her family,
but by her friends as we'll. We can
not now see the good that lies behind
this sad dispensation of Providence,
yet we know that God never willingly
afflicts his children and that He is TOO
wise to err and too merciful to be un-
kind and in our sorrow we bow sub
missively to His will, knowing that
mot now but in the coming years,
IL may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we'll under
stand.
On Saturday, April %, friends and
relatives gathered at Good Hope
Church, in Charles Co., Md, where
the body had been brought, to pay her
their last tribute OF earthly love and
respect.
The floral gifts we're numerous and
beautiful, covering the entire mound,
converting it int a thing of beauty,
typical of that home beyond the sky
where there Is no sorrow and where
Death can not enter.
To the devoted young husband, and
to the parents, brothers sisters left,
we would express our loving sympathy
in this sad hour, and assure them thai
their loss Is ours also.
One consolation is to be found In re-
mem bering Marie as she was, and
looking forward TO the time when we
shall be united again, forever.
~ can not say, and will not say
That she is dead. She is just away
With CHEEKY smile and wave OF the
hand,
She has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left US dreaming, how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers
there.
And you-oh, you, who the widest
yearn
For the old-time step and the glad re.
turn,
Think OF her still, as the same, say,
In the love OF there, as the love OF here,
Think of still, as the same, say,
She is not dead-she is just away"
A FRIEND.

Alexander Murphy Killed.

Mr.. Alexander Murphy, a merchant
In tn western section of the county
was 81 badly beaten over the head and
body with a shot gun In the hands oil
Mr.. William G. Cox, also OF that sec
ton, Wednesday night OF last week,
that he dHdhQn the operating table at
Providence Hospital, Washington, on
the afternoon OF the next day. Mr..
Murphy's injuries included fractured
skull and q broken forearm, so badly
that the bones Of his arm protruded
through the flesh. He was given first
aid by DR.. Speake who, finding his
condition so serious, rushed him TO the
hospital Thursday morning.
Frorf the evidence before the cOro-
ner's inquest which was held by JUS
tice Henry s.. Robertson in this town,
Friday evening, II would appear that
the ARRAY originated from dispute
over a frog pond which Mr.. Cox ac-
cused Mr.. Murphy with trespassing on.
MIR. Murphy, In company with young
man by the name of Posey, was re-
turning to his home Wednesday night,
and when opposite frog pond OF Mr..
Cox on the State road between Doncas-
tCI anu AiOSo ANOdNA7f HoA 80 NNA
and the Two went In the woods, A few
minutes later Mr.. Cox. in company
with some friends, came along and
seeing the car parked opposite his
pond. went to his house, a short dis
lance away, and got his shot gun.
After shouting at the supposed tres
passers and firing twice in the direc
ton Of the pond, Mr.. Murphy and
Young Posey came out OF the woods
when the fracas began, resulting as
above stated.
The verdict Of the eoroner's jury
was that Murphy came to death by be
ing Killed and nurderously assaulted
by Cox. After preliminary hearing
the latter was held 10 the sum OF sljOu
bail for the action of the grand jury.
The funeral Of Mr.. Murphy took
plaee Sunday morning and inlermenl
was in Durham Parish cemetery.
He was ~ years of age and unmar-
ried.

Better Homes Week-June 4th to 11th
Make Yards Attractive.

The home in which we live reflects
our character, and the home extends
beyond the four walls of the house. II
we think we'll of our health we will
think well OF our character and we
will keep within, and without our
homes clean and attractive. A yard
Uttered with tin cans and bottles is a
reflection on the housekeeping within
the house; and at the same time it is
a menace to those in the homes as-well
as those living near by. Mosquitoes
and flies breed in such rubbish. A
little thought and work will keep the
yard and surroundings o. the home
free from such things.

II you grow tobacco do not forget
that it will not pay you to buy feed.
Grow as much feed as you need and a
little for the fellow who needs the feed
but has no place TO grow it. With the
Creamery going at Waldorf you will
be needing some good feed for your
COWS this winter. Alfalfa is best but
soy beans come next. Then you want
some good green feed for mixing with
your ground corn and bran. Nothing
better can be found than COW beets or
carrots. They ought to be sown as
soon as possible. DO not put all your
eggs in the tobacco basket. If there is
much of an increase in the tobacco
crop the price cannot be held up by
any possible means.

Agricultural Notes.
SOY BEANS.

One final word about soy beans.
On poor soil you will get more COW
peas than you will soy beans. But
you will get more feed or more seed
from the soy bean on ordinary soil.
II you do not wantto grow them at the
expense OF the soil you must have them
inoeulated. Tobacco does better after
soy beans than after COW peas. Cow
peas have soft stem and spoil very
quickly. Cow peas grow on good soil
very long aud stringy aud are difficult
to harvest. Soy beans have a hair on
the stem which resists the water and so
il will not rot so easily. Soy beans are
more easily handled because they grow
10 punches and grow up straight.

VALUATIONS MADE
IN DISPUTED CASES
|. c. c. Gives Out Two Very
important Railroad Find
ingS Under New Law.

After many months of investigation
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today finally disposed of the first two
contested cases to come before 1t un-
der the law authorizing 1t to fix a
physical valuation for railroads as a
basis for rate making.
Final single sum values" of s45,-
100000 for the San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake Railroad Com
pany. and s2S,245.257 for the Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
Company, were fixed by the two deci-
sions as a result of extended hear
ings and examination into protests
which had been filed against the val
uations previously announced for the
two lines.
The finding with regard to the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic is re-
garded as having established a prece-
dent for further valuation decisions.
which are to be announced by the
commission intermittently in the near
future. The Atlanta line is a prop
erty, according to the commission
that has been a consistent loser. yet
it was held that its valuation could
not be based upon consideration of
the Junk worth" inasmuch as the
property was rendering a distinct
service to the territory traversed.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic had contended that the origi-
nal cost and development of its prop
critics and it working capital would
cost not less than $36.000.00O to repro
duce A claim of $75.000,000 was made
by the San Pedro line as the value
of it's property as going concern.
The commission declared, however.
that in the determination of value
for rate-making purposes, we are not
limited and cannot be coufined to d
mere formula.
