A SAD DEATH.
HaiuiV Moobt, WiiiLfc oft A Pleasi uk
Trip, is Acoio*5**tallv Killf.d bt
His Fm rs n, Samuel (1-.am.ihw,
A feeling of deep sorrow was cant
over our entire community when the
sad news reached here of ths accidental
shooting of Harry Preston Moore, which
occurred Thursday afternoon at Windy
Cove, near Millboro Springs, in Bath
?aunty.
A party of boys left here some time
ago for that place on a fishing and hunt?
ing expedition. Young Moore, accom?
panied by a friend, joined them Thuis
day afternoon, leaving Lexington early
that morning.
Samuel McP. Glasgow, son of Mt.
Frank T. Glasgow, was in the first party.
He was out gunning that afternoon and
on returning to camp he found the nsw
arrivals there. His gun was still cook?
ed, and on attempting to 1st down the
hammer, it slipped, discharging tho
gun, and the entire load entering the
right side of young Moore, who was
sitting in front of the tent, from ths
streets of which he died in something
over an hour.
The boys were horrified at tho ter?
rible accident and 'phoned et once to
Lexington of the unfortunate occur renes.
1 physician was at once summoned but
io relief could be afforded, some of the
ihot having entered the liver and stom?
ach.
Ths body was brought to Lexington
Friday via Clifton Forge. The funeral,
"onducted by Rev. Dr. J A. Queries,
ook place from bia father's home Sat
irday morning at IU o'clock, attended
?y ts l*Ig* number of relatives and
rieiuls.
The deceased was a son of County
.Treasurer Samuel R. Moore by his first
life, who was a Miss Leirjl,,sifter of
Hrs. J. P. lii'iKire, and who dies! about
if teen years ago. Hs was in ]* is -Ojg)} -
eenth yeera, and waa a young juan of I

nd studious habit*, he wss or a religious
uf*n and wasN consistent'member of
be Ltxington Presbyterian church. He
ad many friends among the young
len of his own age and a number of
bern testified to' that friendship by
lacing flowers on his grave.
Death is always sad even when ons
ickenti anel dies, but to bo cut off sud
snly in life's springtims, when the
(iMgiliilitii-H of a bright young manhood
re jiiht ahead and almost within
rasp, is one of the mysteries of this

LETTER' FROM SANTIAGO.
? _,*
Mr. HalA^Dijon, son of Mr. Geo.
D. Dixon, ar thistle_e,is on the Brook?
lyn, aad took part ia the natal battle
Italy 3, whish resulted y_ destroying
^ef vera's fleet He writes as follows,
indar date of Jul* 10, ty hie fe the*
Well, I guess you hare heard the
lews of our great fight oa the third of
Ny. Talk about a little hell, we had
t that day. It is a day that will never
ade from my memory, We were just
laving morning quarters when the
ookout reported smoke in the harbor,
md a few minutes later we could see
he Spanish ships coming out. They
03k us by surprise, but we were re_Rly
or them. The Brooklyn and the Ore
;on were the nearest to them and they
the Spanish) all ^entered their lire on
s. It is a wonder that any of us are
lire to tell the tale. As it was, we had
nly one man killed and one wounded*
Wary one of our guns wsa going for
ll they were worth and nearly erery
bot told. The moak of the Spanish
re was loo high, although we were
truck a number of times, I think ab?ut
>rty times. The"*- Spanish had six
oats while we had only two. We
>oa had one of their boats on fire and
ceding for the beach. The last one
I coE__-e out got the atari on us aod
?e had to chase her about forty miles
sfors ws caught har.
It waa a great day for the nary and
se we may well be proud of. The
nly fighting done on our side vas by
ie Brooklyn and Oregon, and tbe
rookiyn had the biggest share of it. I
.n't know how many we killed, but
hat we didn't kill wa Matured.
Well, so much for the fight You
iked me about the grub We hare
enty but lt ia all of one kind, no
iriety. For ins_ence,ons day we hare
ians for breakfsst, soup for dinner
id soup for supper; the next day we
ire soup for breakfsst and beans for
nner. The water we hare ia pula
it so wsrsa we cen hardly drink it,
'e cannot keep iee or vegetables on
count of the hot weather.

BATHS BUDGET
(iienette Correepondenee. )
Rockbridge Bethe, July 25, 1898.
For some re >son, as y. t unknown to
us, not acopr of The Gaiittb re.cbed
this office last week. If the fault lies
with those who hsndle the mails it is a
thing to bs looked int1.
For two weeks psst tbe weather hen
be. n such as to put* ti a severe test the
patience of those who hare be n trying
to make bay. During tbat time there
hi been but one day without rain, otten
but light local showers, but enough to
stop hay-making. But slow progress
made in the way of threshing, from the
same cause. By the way, it is we'l to
call attention to the fact that most of
those who have charge of traction en?
gines, now so numerous, running to
and fro on our public toads, sre paying
no attention to the law that requires of
them, when miring, to keep a hand in
advance to wantha tiaveler of their
approach. The consequence is, that
onjmany of our narrow roads with sborl
turje, aad horses given to fright, we
are subject lo great danger. I don't
know exactly whose duty it in, but
tomebcdy ought to sse thst such a
lifeguard should not go unheeded.
Possibly each violation is a case for the
grand jury.
Ber. Mr. Miller, of Kentucky, is now
_ n a visit here and will preach in Be?
thesda church on next Sabbath.
Miss Margaret Laekey, of Buena
iftsta, who has been for several weeks
past on a visit at her ancle's, Mr. A. M.
tndsrson, will lear * soon for her horns.
We will miss ber bright face and wish
'or her early coming again.
Mr. James Woods, who met with ths
nisfortune of baring his leg broken ten
lays sgo, is doing well, with a good
.bowing for getting out again as soon
is is usual in such ossej. _
Tbe attendance at Wilson's it- unus
lally smsll st this time, but a week later
nay suffice to give them a crowd. The
'ever scare of lest year may keep some
iway, but with proper police regula
ions, which will, no doubt, be strictly
ibssrved, there is certainly no ground
'or ssrious apprehension in that partic
liar. There is quite a good company
it the Baths and still they come.
Heartfelt sympathy for our friends,
Henri. Johnson and Moore and their
smilies, in this, their time of sore dis
ress, is finirertal amongst us. May
