We have heard no name men? tioned in connection with this place except that of Hon. Wm. McAllis? ter, our former representative, whom, we have been informed, is thinking of announcing himself. BvwmanMnMMMi 4 Miss Maggie Virginia Jordon Notwithstanding the fact that Miss Maggie had, for several weeks, been seriously sick, and the people of Monterey and the county people generally knew of it, yet, on Tues day morning, when they learned of her death, the sad news came un? expectedly to them and throughout the town and county a gloom was cast and sincere sympathies express? ed for the bereaved family.. }\ Death came to the patient suf? ferer at 4 o'clock, Tuesday morn? ing. Just the day before the one that brought to a close her earthly life, was her birthday, she being then 29 years of age, a fact she re? filled herself and talked of with a jegree of cheerfulness. During the last days, it was seen by the members of the family that Miss Maggie was growing weaker, and i.he hope they had been clinging to jo fondly was gradually slipping 'rom them, but none realized it nore clearly than Miss Maggie; fat with her suffering, and the ract present with her that the hour >f death was near, she remained ?lieerful, light hearted and happy, rhese characteristics marked the lavs of her illness throughout, rhere was no time that 'ier suffer ng was too great for her to greet .boss who visited her with a smile ind speak pleasant and endearing vords to the members of lier fami y, some of whom constantly stitched by her side. When the last hour came this spirit did not forsake her, but see in *d to shine forth in even greater splendor. She talked to her moth? ar, her brothers and sisters of the change that she knew was near, in words that showed clearness of thought, and in manner such con? tentment, resignation and happi? ness, that there could be no doubt ? hat that One in whom she had in life and health trusted so implicit? ly, had not in the hour of sickness md death forsaken her. When asked by her pastor if she felt that Jesus was with her, she with a smile, replied?"'Yes, I know that he has been with me all the way." It was in this sta*e of mind that Miss Maggie, surrounded by her loved ones, cam ly and peacefully closed her eves to this world to have them reopened where there are "tunny mansions", where there is no sorrow, no sickness no death. Thus ended the short but useful and trustful life of a loveable young lady. Miss Maggie became converted to christianity and connected her? self with the M. E. Church, South, two years ago. She was a faith? ful and valued worker in the church, the League, the Bu lida V school andnravermeeting.and it was rare indeed that, ill health, her place in these services would be found vacant. Her earnestness and devoted ness to the cause she espous? ed was so evident that it could not fail of creating au impression and consequently be a good example f.ir those who came in touch with her life. V In her secular employment, be? ing operator of the M. & S. Tele? phone Co. at the central office in Monterey,Miss Maggie showed such a friendly and obliging disposition, and was so faithful in the perform? ance of her duty, that she was not long in winning the confidence and esteem of all for whom and with whom she transacted business. This position extended the circle of her acquaintance beyond the bor? ders of her natiye county, and her numerous friends of the line will sadlv miss her cheerful "helo." \After the visits of many to the bereaved home with expressions of sympathy and kindness, on Wed? nesday evening at 2 o'clock the last sad rite was performed. A short touching service which was largelv attended, was conducted at the Methodist Church, bv the pastor. Rey R L Eutsler. and then the re? mains of the deceased were borne tenderly to their last resting place in the cemetery on the bili. Those of her family, present at the time of her death were?tin mother, Mrs Armenia A Jordon her brothers, Clem and Will and sisters, leia and Georga, and in their behalf and at tl.eir request we state in this connection, thal they deeply appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness of friends, bot I far and near, shown to them mic their loved one during her last ill? ness. Valuable Blue Grass Farm N Changed Hands It will no doubt be a surprise tc many of our readers to learn thal Rev II H Fleming, D. I), has pur chased Mr J LnnsfonFs beautifu home and valuable estate at Wier in Blue Grass Valley. The dea was made quietly and had bee I con^umnted a month before tin public knew ot it. In making this purchase Dr Fleming does not wish to creatt ?the impression that he will now oi at any future, fixed date, occupy ii as a home. His idea, briefly stated is that for any reason that mai occur at any, time he should give up his work in the ministry he wil have a home provided for himsell and daughter. * This home is in the neighbor hood of the birthplace of Dr Flem ing, and it is his notion, from whs he bas seen in extensive travel Lot 1 in this country and Europe, tba there is no country to be fount like that neighborhood and it: comity ?

FOLEHSHONETHCAB Cures Colds; Prevents Pneumonia Eloped To Washington We are wondering^ it just hap? pened so that a Highland lad andi lass, Slr Will Peterson of McDow- ? ell and Mi*s Lizzie Brock of High- j <? town, on Wednesday night of last 1t week, met in Stauntot? lu the 11 recent erstwhile . they may have!

Hevener, since the death of her mother. The groom is a son of Mr C S Peterson. Each is about 17 years of age, and it was on account of their extreme youth that opposition arose, mak? ing elopement necessary. When You Catch, Its Fun to Fish It was due to the very great kind? ness of the Fleisher Brothers of Strait Creek that a Monterey fish? ing party was permitted to enjoy a fishing outing on Friday of last week, along the headwaters Jof the Potomac. It is never safe to speak at length on such matters, especial^ ly when one is not posted on game laws and do?s not know whether it is in Virginia, or West Va., or both, that the fishing is being done. It is enough to say that the eourteceis extended by the Fleisher boys was appreciated to the fullest extent, and by the entire party a vnte of thanks is tendered them.
