All day there was an air of mystery about the place, while costumes were being planned, and finally a majority decided to represent the "Mount Elliott and with this determination the assistance of Mrs.

Spooner was sought, and all the extra sheets were called into use. Mr. Glenn Brown, of Washingtonr who is quite an artist, had tne arduous task of "draping" the many figures, and the general effect was most pleasing.

Ashby. Miss Morton Wortham and P. C.

on Saturday, August 24th, at West Hill, near Itaointon, his home for, the last 65 years, this county and his native state have lost a worthy and most respected citizen. He was the son of Carter H. Harrison and Janetta Ravenscroft Harrison, formerly Fisher, born May 13, 1823, in the city of Richmond, where his father was then engaged In the practice of law, but the home of his childhood was on his father's country estates of Clifton and Ampt-hill, on the James river, in Cumber land, whither they removed from Richmond. i At the age of fourteen, with his brother Jacqueline, he was sent to school at Cedar Hill in Augusta county, the home of Dr. Samuel Hen-dren some five miles westward from Staunton, and spent two years under the tutelage of that accomplished teacher of the old The school being overcrowded he board ed for a time in the family of George Moffat Cochran, who then resided at his country home, Elk Mead- ows, and here he met the young girl who was afterward to be his wffe.

In September, 1839, he entered the Episcopal Hih School, near Alexandria, where he remained three years, acquiring a very thorough classical education, to which his tastes inclined. On the 28th of November, 1844, he was united in marriage at Staunton to Miss Jane St. Clair Cochran, of this and soon after, in the fall of 1847, he purchased and established his home at West Hill, a large farm near three miles from Staunton on the Middlebrook road. His wife, a most attractive and superior woman, died on the 19th of June, 1870, leaving a large family, most them youpg children, to whose are, and particularly to-' their proper education, Mr. Harrison dedicated himself with the most unselfish devotion.

Well may they rise up and call him blessed. His surviving children are Judge George M. Harrison, Carter H. Harrison and Edward C. Harrison of Staunton; William B.

Harrison of Denver; Randolph Harrison of Lynchburg; Mrs. Rose St Clair Johnson, U. S. now retired an living in Nebraska; and Beverly R. Harrison of Spotsylvania county.

NAPOLEON'S IDEAL WOUN The great Napoleon, In response to a question once asked by a lady replied: "My ideal woman Is not the beautiful society belle or the butterfly of fashion, but the matron who reaches middle age in complete preservation of healtn, with stalwart children by her side."

Mr. IcLees Preaches a st Sermon at First Church. Special Music Rendered. Visitors Supply Pulpits in Absence of Pastors. Rev.

William Claybrook, of Birmingham, who has been spending his vacation at Hot Springs, filled Rev. W. O. Hullihen's pulpit Sunday at Trinity Episcopal church. His sermon was masterful and produced a deep impression on the congregation.

His text was, "Nicode-mus-answered and said unto Him, How can these things be?" The speaker asserted that the great concern is not the question for the little human mind cannot fathom the broad divine mind; the finite cannot comprehend the infinite; but a question of trust in the auth ority and power of the Omnipotent. He compared Christianity with sev eral of the Eastern religions, and showed that the former is transcend-ently that it rings certain in every utterance and doctrine of its divine author. The Eastern teachers, he said, such as Buddha and Confucius, gave out some of the loftiest moral principles the world has ever known, but the end of their doctrine is: "I believe that if you follow a) certain prescribed course, certr.ln results will follow." On the other hand, Christ speaks with certainty and finality: "I am the way," "Come unto me," "He that believeth Bhall be saved," etc. Br (Continued on Fourth Page.) WAS FID FOR BLOCKING STREET For obstructing Math street with his automobile during the Saturday night sweeping, a county owner was fined five dollars and costs at the morning police court hearing. The sweeping cart waited while the owner disputed the right of the police to order the removal of any obstructing vehicle, a right which the police maintain under the code.

The dispute was abbreviated by arrest, which the police promise in other cases of the kind that may arise. The case against Bill Easton, for malicious Injury, was postponed for another, and a fine for drunkenness and disorderly conduct was imposed on J. M. Dull.

OF FRUIT PACKERS J. C. Darnall is showing an ap ple press at the Fruit Packing school this week, that is attracting a great deal ot attention among fruit men. The best feature of the Darnall press which is a local invention and manu facture, is the quickness of output and the celerity with which it can be handled. The press has a base block, on which the barrel rests.

This, when the head of the barrel is pressed down, causes the' heads to bulge, and does not bruise the fruit, but leaves it under pressure, so that when the barrel is put in cold storage and the apples shrink, the bulge in the heads of the barrel take up all the slack and always insures a tight pack for export or long shipments, without repacking the barrel. The base on which the barrels rest is like a wheel rinujwith the tire on both the inside and outside of the rim. The inside tire is raised three quarters of an Inch to let the barrel rest on it, and the outside tire ex- tendss above the wooden rim half an inch, so that the circular stave ends hook on the lower end of the barrel base, drop into a groove between the two tires and hold the barrel in a proper position for heading. The press holds the barrel firmly in place, can be easily moved anywhere, and barrel and press together can be easily rocked or moved as the barrel by itself. This press has been pronounced ideal by scores of fruit men who have examined it and know what a good press should be.

Mr. Darnall, who is exploiting the Darnall press, is an active fruit and nurseryman, and is also president of the Virginia Apple Lands of Ohio. WHOSE BABY IT THIS? A baby apparently about six weeks old was left on the steps at Mr. Cy Smith's house last night. Mrs, Smith has kindly consented to keep jhe little one until a home can be found and she! wllf be very grateful if some kind person will some clothes, as she has none save those worn by the infant.

Central with all the evidences of a successful session that local leaders in the state horticultural society have desired." The enlistment for class work includes both growers and employees and appearance of a number of ladies for the instruction offered illustrates the keen interest often shown in horticulture among the women of fruit growing sections. The hours of instruction through the week are 9 a.

m. to 12 and 1:30 to 4:30 p. m. The practical demonstrations are preceded by an appropriatelecture, given by Prof. Ft horticulturist at the Blacksburg experiment sta tion.

The experts conducting the practical demonstrations are A. Wentworth of Lockport, N. assisted by R. M. Kirkland, of Crescent City, In box packing.

The demonstrations of the first day were directed chiefly' to grading and throughout the course the in structors will seek to impress the principle that grading is the point of biggest importance in the whole process of packing or preparation of fruit for shipment. The commodious interior of thf Rifles' armory presents a neatly workmanlike aspect wtth its tidy ar rangement of demonstration tables. The natural discomfort of a hot, dry spell in late August is mitigated by the bfeees from a liberal supply of electric fans gratuitously instal led by the Staunton Lighting Com pany. Barrel material is similarly supplied by th Crozet Cooperage company. The semi-annual meeting of the Augusta Fruit Growers Association, to be held Tuesday, morning at 10 in the county Assembly hajl, will adjourn to the Packing School.

Craig Patterson, Presbyterian missionaries to China, who have- been on leave in this country for two years, have made all their arrangements to sail from San Francisco, the latter part of September, to return to the field of their labors. The recent disturbances there, however, and the unsettled condition of the country, have introduced some confusion in their plans, and they may defer their return till later. They have already put off their return on account of the overthrow of the monarchy, which caused a great upheaval, and may have to remain here much longer, although tkey are anxious to return. They are still at Barterbrook. 1 IS VERY ILL i Mr.
