graves of the famous Lewis family
whose history is so intermingled with
that of Virginia, and one of whose
number was Meriwether Lewis the
friend of Jefferson and member of the
Lewis and Clark Louisiana Purchase
Expedition. The cemetery rests on
high land overlooking the peaceful
little Rivanna river winding its way
to the sea while from above overlooking
the valley stands "Monticello"
once the home of one of the world's
greatest statesmen. It was this spot
that many of the leading public men of
the early days of the Republic had
favored for the site of the Capitol of the
United States. It was the dream of
Jefferson to be able to look down from
the heights of his mountain home on
the capitol of the nation and the University
of Virginia, both of which with
his other achievements would stand as
lasting momuments to his name and
generation. Riverview was chartered
and laid out in 1887 and covers about
thirty acres. The first officers of the
company were W. D. Warren, president;
J. W. Marshall, vice-president;
W. Graham Page, secretary; Herbert
H. Wingfield, treasurer. The grounds
are prettily laid out, and each year
sees many marked improvements.
The cemetery being some distance
from the city it is but natural to
believe that it will be scores of years
before the town will build around it,
as in the case of some of the older burial
grounds, and where, in time, it will
be but a matter when demands are
made for their purchase for city building
lots to the great distress of relatives.
Then, again, plots are sold on the most
fair and reasonable terms and in a way
that any family of ordinary means may
become a purchaser, and thus assure
themselves that they are positive
to remain with their loved ones long
after the Angel of Death has called
them from the walks of this mortal
life. The present officers of the company
are all gentlemen of high character
and well known to our people
for their sterling methods in both
commercial and social circles. Mr. W.

"Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool sequestered vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."

Don't give your friends indigestion
by trying to poke people you like
down their throats.

One might as well expect to thrive
physically while his portion of food is
being eaten by others, as to expect
mental development and not do his
own thinking.—N. C. Morse.

Not until you make men self-reliant,
intelligent and fond of struggle—fonder
of struggle than of help—not till then
have you relieved poverty.—Phillips
