Ex-Congressman James F. Epei
died la>t Wednesday night at his homt
in Nottoway county, three miles Iron
Blackstone The deceased was borr
in Nottaway county, Ma\ -3, 1842.
He received his education in private
schools and at the University of Vii
ginia. He served during the war oe*
tween the states in the Third Virgiria
Cavalry, aod was wounded ir- battU
near Reams Station, Dinwiddie com.*
ty. In 119] he was elected a (member
of the Fifty-second Congi ess ta a
democrat from the Fourth district of
Virginia, his republican opponent be?
ing John ll. Langston, colored, of
Petersburg. Mr. Ej>es was also a
member of the Fifty-third Congress.
He was a cousin of the late Con?
gressman Sydney P. Ej.>es. ot Notta?
way county.
Representative Harry L. Maynard
announced that he would contest the
award of a certificate to former Rep?
resentative William A. Young as the
democratic nominee for district, on the
ground of irregularities in certain
precincts of Norfolk county in Tues?
day's primary. The face of the returns
shows Mr. Young to have been nomi?
nated by BS majority.
The Republican Primary!
Upon the face of returns fi om the
primaries held on Sunday last, the
Machine claims to be victorious, but
to the impartial observer, it is plain?
ly to be seen that the reform move?
ment which has for its object a reor?
ganization of the republican party,
as a matter of fact carried the pri?
maries, and is therefore entitled to
the delegation.
In many instances the Machine
counted patties ?ho had not paid
their Capitation tax, hence, were not
voters, and should not have been
counted. Again, at some of tbe pre?
cises where the Machice had bat lit?
tle or no following, had three or four
who hapj-en to be williDg to be used
by the Machine to po quietly off and
elect themselves as delegates, mean
i n g of course to use the powers of the
organization and seat them.
This conduct forced the reorganiza?
tion or reformers to send contesting
delegations from many precincts, as
the only means to susttin the majority
rule which has ever been dear to the
American psonJe-, but which stands
for naught with jK)litical desperados,
whose keif perpetuation can only be
had by grossly ignoring the popular
will of a vast majority of the party.
Doubtless the reformers will elect a
contesting delegation to the Congress?
ional Convention to be held at Char?
lottesville as by this method alone
can a fair and impartial trial be had,
and if so had the reform movement
would and should be sustanined, lor
the right of it is with them, and the
people who have sustaintd the repub?
lican party in its most trying days,
are behind them.
If the republican party at large can?
not resist the once mir g of this pop
ular movement for reform by the use
of their big Gun, "Cannon"' how can
the republicans of Shenandoah
Countv, hope to stop it by the use of
two or three litte ''Pop Guns."
The Congressional Convention will
do their party a great work by putting
the local party management in other
hands. Under new management it will
flourish and grow; under the pre??n!
management it will wither and decay.
It already has the "bitter Rot."

stock, Va.
At the Brat business session, the
snyod heard the fraternal greetings of
the Tennessee Snyod, as delivered by
Rev. A. U. Bealli of Mt. Jackson, of?
ficial visitor, in which he SSprOSSOJ
the hope that the day was not far dis?
tant when three synods in Va. would
be one. Presidents Bowers responded
in titting terms, and expressed the
same hope.
The report of the executive com?
mittee was then taken up, and was dis?
cussed until the time for adjournment.
The report embraced a review of the
work of the past year, together with
recommendations for the ensuing year
and the necessary appropriations for
the continuance of the synod's several
enterprises.
At ll o'clock. Rev. Dr. L. G. If.

Supper* Its Significance and Mean?
ing." After the sermon the s>nodical

ANOTHER OPENING OCCURS.
About niue o'clock last Sat. morn?
ing, another cave in along the line of
tiie fissure, as it had been originally
mapped, took place. This time it oc?
curred in the lawn of the Hon. Jacob
Vost, obliquely across the street from
the Todd house. The caving iu was
slow but by noon it had oj>ened until
the mouth of it at the sa rf ace was
about ten feet square. This opening
occurring on the opposite side ofLew
is street from the Todd House indicat?
ed that the same conditions might pre?
vail beneath the street surface, so the
authorities ordered Lewis streetclosed
Mr. Vost at once employed Mr. B. L.
Partlow to take charge of the cave-in
and protect the sides so as to stop
fttther falling of earth. This Mr. Part?
low undertook at once and worked on
all day Saturday. The city athorities
tranferred a force over to Lewis sleet
and began sinking test holes along
the street, across thc line of the cav?
ernous indications and struck rock
in each instance, the deepest hole be?
ing 35 1-2 feet. The fa *4 that there was
another break in the surface caused
a temporary Mutter which subsided so
soon as the^authorities took hold of
the affair. All of the other breaks
heretofore are well in hand.

in his private lot in Tom's Brooh

1910* And now whilst comrade
Reuben Holler needs no eulogy hom
my own or any other's pen and know- j
ing him as I did for the past eighteen I
years as a neighbor, a eomrad* of
Stover Carno and bother, in the
church. I believe he would say with
the great Napoleon paint rn**J as I
am ! because he was quiet unassuming
and always going about doing good,
as a neigbbor, especially to the poor
ad needy whether citizens or ex
Confederate in the church and in the
camp, (Stover) of Strasburg, Va., of
which he was an honored and highly
esteemed member from its organiza?
tion in 1888, and no one seemed to be
more delighted than he whenever be
was present in the bivouack or ona
trip to thc Confederate VCteran'1 meet?
ing and reunion in Ins own beloved
Valley or any where in Virginia or to
the Ut C. V's reunion, Richmond,
Va., twice, Louisville, Ky.. Nashville,
Tenn., and others: hence wo the sur?
viving Confederate veterans will miss
him; but our loss is his gain without
doubt and then too we must soon
follow on. When we buried our
c enradei on the great hattie fields in
war of the sixties we thought we might
soon follow on. Vet we have been
spared to live through these many
years, to enjoy prac-*, plenty and much
happiness, but now we know our time
too is growing short. Having fre?
quently been called on to wits Ihe
record of a fallen comrade
and whilst it is always pathetic and
sad. Vet there is pleasure in it to
recite a faithful soldier and nun's
record, like Reuhen Holler, who was
born in this county In 1842, and en?
listed at the ageof nineteen yemn
early in 1861 In Co C. Capt. Samuel
Myers Company of the Tth Va. Cav?
alry Ashby's old regiment and
brigade, which was afterwards com?
manded by Wm E. Jones, Robinson
and Rosser, under the leadership of
these men and others equally bra\?- li?
the line officers?it won the sobriquet
of the Laurel Brigade and no more re"
nowned horseman ever served under
great cavalry commander in all his
tory: because the Southern cavalry?
man was a born horseman, and he
was chivalrous brave and d.splayed
greet fidelity to duty, and his general
pnjsigUC being raised under a genial
Southern sun made them not only a
tj pical horseman but a formidable
cavalier of whon Reuben Holler was
one of the brlgbeel types, ana won
special renown for himself as an ex?
pert horseback rider who always
elicited applause for his easy maimer
in the saddle. His career as a citizen
a DMOber of the M. E. Church. South,
and a successful farmer, also added
lustre to his name, having whilst aid?
ing his needy fellow man, his church,
and was socialy what we call a tine
fellow, he acquired much of this
world's goods in the shape of a tine
farm and a well provided home, leav?
ing a competecce for his bereaved
widow, lovely daughter and four
noble sons who natural)' mourn his

the acquaintance of that dreadful
thing, a ?'one-night st;ind." she was as
precise and particular al>out having

as if we wea-e going to *-rtay in the town
a month. "Down went my neat sqi- re
of white drugget. All the lights In
my dre-*iug room were arrnngt <1 as
I wished. Everything wus unpacked
and ironed.
One day when I came into some
American theater to dress 1 found
Sally nearrly In tears.
-What's the matter with you, Sally?1*
I asked.
"I 'aven't ?sd a morsel to heat all
day, dear, and I can't 'eat my iron."
"Kat yourviron, Sally! What do you
mean?"
"'Ow am I to Iron all this, dear?"
walled my faithful Sally, picking up
my Nance Oldfield apron and a few
other tri ties* "It won't get ot!"
Until thea I really thought that Sally
was being sardonic about an iron as a
substitute for victuals.
