airy and chosen captain of compa ny I in that command, formerly held by Captain O'Ferrall, who re signed to command, as Colonel, a squadron he had raised, and who was subsequent to the close of the war elected governor of Virginia. Captain Harman served with con spicuons gallantry and was on several occasions highly commended by his superior officers for his courage and efficiency in the discharge of duty.1 He was wounded a Port Republic and in another engage ment was captured while leading a desperate charge. He, with six hundred other Confederate officers was placed on Morris Island, in front of the Confederate firing line and the Confederates notified that if they fired it would be upon their own men. With such martial environments and associations in both the families with which she was closely connected, Mrs, Harman was in spired by the highest ideals of du ty, which were manifested in her woman's sphere in devotion to her church, ministering to the wants and necessities of the poor and with open palm dispensing charities to those whose condition made them proper objects of such benefactions. In no sense was she a modern soci ety woman.

Her naturally strong mind and cultivated intellections found no affinity in whimpering frivolities. Gracious in the discharge of the duties of her hospita ble home, where her husband's and her own friends were always wel come with a refined cordiality that indicated the true lady, whether in the presence of the humble or those more favored by fortune, she drew to herself genuine friendships and embalmed herself in the esteem and affections of all whose pleasure it was to come in social contact with her. Since the sudden death of her i- husband in 1877, Mrs. Harman had led a comparatively Secluded life and as the infirmities of age gradually crept upon her, her thoughts reached out into the great beyond and confidently reposed upon the promises of Him whom she, had lovingly trusted in earlier life, and as the shadows lowered over the closing years of her long pilgrimage confidingly leaned upon them as she passed through the valley of the shadow of death. Mrs.

Harman left three children. Capt. Lewis Harman, State Treasurer Asher W. Harman, and Alexander Harman. Her three daught ers, Dr.

Thomas Opie, of Bal timore, Mrs. Capt. John N. Opie, of this place, and Mrs. Dr.

Eve, of Georgia, all preceded her to the grave. The funeral took place from Trinity Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Harman had long been a devoted member, on Thursday, Rev. W. Q.

Hullihen, officiating in the beauti ful and impressive service of that branch of the Christian church and the remains were conveyed to Thornrose cemetery, to rest by the side of those of her husband and children, with the following gentlemen acting as pall bearers; Dr. Benjamin Blackford, Dr. Carter Berkeley, Col. R. S.

Turk, Capt. H. M. Mcllhany, A. F.

Kinney, Arista Hoge, Maj. S. M. Yost, and Arch. S.

I. Prince, of near Ladd, last Saturday by Mr. W. P. Tarns, cashier of the Augusta National Bank, charging him with forgery.

Sometime during the early summer a note for $200 was presented by Prince at the Augusta National Bank, which was endorsed by D. E. Shenk. The signature seemed all right and the note was consequently honored by the bank. The note matured last Friday and when Mr.

Shenk was notified of that fact, he was much surprised and promptly notified the bank that the signature was not genuine. The warrant was then sworn out, but Prince had disappeared. Diligent search was made for him. Prnce, it is thought is either in Washington, where he said he was going, or in West Virginia, where he has a friend.

A. M. A. Defeats Harrisonburg.

jThe Augusts MiHtayXeademy foot ball tfeam defeated the Harrisonburg eUen on the A. M. A. grounds last Saturday by a score of 12 to o. In the first half of the game, while the Harrisonburg boys had the ball and were only about a yard from the goal, B.

F. Beard, one of the A. M. A. players, somehow managed to get the ball out of the mix-up and carried it clear back to the other goal and made a touch-down.

Two of the Harrisonburg men were after him, but as they did not get their start as soon as Beard and therefore did not catch him. Capt. "Cbeet" Roller tried his trick again by standing on the backs of two of his linemen and springing on the op ponent's quarter-back, but this did not work as well as in Bridgewater, as some of the Harrisonburg boys were there and caught on to that In the latter part of the first half A. M. A.

took the kick- off. Harrisonburg received the ball, but as they could not advance their five yards in three downs, the ball was forfeited to the A. M. A. boys, and they having gotten the ball again, scored another touchdown and kicked the goal.

At the beginning of the second half the Harrisonburg boys braced up and neither side made anything. Although when time was called the ball was within two yards of the visitors line, The play by B. F. Beard, of the A. M.

A. team, was considered by all who taw the game to be the finest they ever saw. Professor Shackelford did some very good playing also. A. M.
