County, Ladies and Gentlemen:
A story is told of Henry Clay, who
was born in the 8tate of Virginia,
but who paased the main and Important
part of his life in the Slate of
Kentucky, that upon returning to'
hispid birthplace, he was called upon
tp speak to a gathering of ma kindred
and friends of his early youth. In
opening h(? address he tried*'to remember
a couplet, whteh for a moment,
he had forgotten, and to aid
him In doing thts, put his hands over
his eyes. Hi^audlence, thinking that
t.e had been suddenly touched beyond
the power of expression, became sympathetic,
and, to his surprise, when
he looked up he found them all in
tears. tie was trying to re member
the following familiar quotation from
Walter Scott's Marmlon;
"Breathes rbece/i man with soul so
dead.
Who never to himself hath said.
This Is my land, my native la^yl."
J shall make no atteibpt to play
upon ^our feelings, bat I can not
.refrain from saying that no man was i
ever more deeply affected thsm I am
in standing for the first time In fortysix
years, so close to the place that
gave* me birth. It was just over
yonder, in }he city of New Bern, that
1 first saw the light of day, and in
coming bank here and being among
my kindred and the friends of my
early yonth, I feel like one who, after
many years .of separation, ha*
gotten back home. Home, wonderful.
beautiful woftt. it falls npon
the ear with bewitching- sweetness,
follows the wanderer wherever he
goes,' and lures tilm back again.
The purpose for Which this gath-'
orlng has been called is one which
nppeala to the noblest sentiments of
the human heart and mind. Respect
for the memory of the dead Is always
present l'n the hearts of. the
I gentle, the strong, the bfove, and the
I true. Whether It exhibits lteelf In
? the tender words of s threnody like
. that qf Walter Savage Lander, who
. said of his dead love:

ted upon yesterday morning. Miss ll
Eunice GTbbe, fell on sleep. The 8
news of her death came as a thunder ll
bolt, as K were, from a clear sky,
and today the entire city mourns her e
going. Duly this week she was at- p
tendtng to her duties as one of the 11
teachers In .the Washington Public l'
Schools and but few of the citizens ?
knew that she was dead until the
gad (act was chronicled at the Public 8
School building last night just as the c
program was being completed.
The deceased was 33 years of ag* l'
and, a daughter of Rev. J. T. Gibbe. ,9

ington district of the M. E. church. e
For.the past three yearn she ha? c
been a resident of Washington and t
teacher in the city schools No mem
ber of the faculty was more popular.
Her life was an open bok. She loved
her work and did what she cou^Lfor
the betterment and uplift of Those ,
whoeo lives were committed unto her
for training and culture. In her
| church she was faithful and loyal
i Sweet In disposition, attractive in
manner, circumspect In walk, her '
place will bo hard indeed to fill.
The remains, accompanied by hot 1
aged father, mother, brother and sis- '
