DEATH OF MIR. LANCAsTER

During the absence of the Editor
last week, there passed away from
earth one of Bristol's Oldest and
most esteemed citizens, Mr.. Thom-
as G. Lancaster, long and favcra-
bly, known in past days, as the pro-
pristor of the Virginia House,
which was erected for him in 1860.
For perhaps a year he had been in
declining health, being confined to
las home on Solar Hill, the oldest
and most conspicuous residence in
our town, being the homestead OF
the Rev. Jas. King before Bristol
was founded. His death was an
event which at no period within
the year would have surprised his
friends. Yet his intellect was I'M
clouded ard his power of speech
unimpaircd until his very last iuo
ments, and his dying words were OF
the most satisfactory character
leaving his family and friends the
bright assurance, that be is nuns
bered with the household of God.
He was man of decision and
energy. His enterprise was al
was of an advanced order, and
there have been few men Of ON
t, WIN whose charities have como
more nearly up the measure of their
m"ans.
In former years he lived and
was well known in Fincastle, Va,
and at another time in Lychburg

Some one fired a shot which was fol-

his surrender. He surrendered and
gave up his pistol, after VIII ch he was
shot and his brains knocked out. He

The infatuated mob found Charles
