TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1880.
EVENT and COMMENT,

Mr.. Thos. Gannoway, of wythe Co.
few days ago shot negre with whom
he had some words In reference to the
incendiary burning Of his barn a few
nights previous. The negro will proba-
bly, die.
The Wytheville Enterprise records the
sudden Illness OF DR.. s. G. Gleaves,
while visiting a patient at Ephraim
Wampler's. He had TO be brought to
Wytheyille in carriage.
The same paper says the recent horse
epizooty Is disappearing,
1t now transplres that Harris, the Han
cock murder fiend, was merely after poor
Charlie Browns money, when he MUIR
dered him and young Heck. A man
must have hell In In his bosom when he
Kills two men In order to rob one.
The Richmond State 'lets It out" that
Miss Hunter of Washington refused an
offer Of marriage few years ago from
W. w. Corcoran, the banker. The State
can't keep secret. We don't know OF
any practical punishment, but for Mr..
Corcoran to name over all the estima-
BILE ladies who have kicked the editor Of
the State.
"Blue Jeans" williams, Governor OF
Indiana, died week ago. This splen-
did old Democrat, who carried the Hoo
sier State for Democracy at the October
election in the Tilden campaign has
shown good taste In choosing this time
os the one In which to leave Indiana.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN2
Are the Funders Going to Take
the Creditor by the Throats

Gen. John EchOls, who headed the
recent May ticket, was member Of the
House Of Delegates when the Barbour
bill was passed, and It is a noteworthy
fact that he boldly declared then that it
was IAN awJul bill," "terrible meas
ure"--that 'it took the public creditor
1y the throat." He was regarded then
as having, more than any ether man, the
Gar and confidence Of the Governor.
The result was veto from the Cover
nor. That veto was endorsed by every
Funder 10 the Commonwealth, and that
veto endorsed the sentimental declara-
tisn Of Gen. Echols. Since that time
the Funder party Of Virginia has again
endorsed Gen. Echols, by making him
she head and front Of their electoral tick
ct, Notwithstanding his declared and
known purpose to elect Gen. Wickham
10 the U. b. Senate, thus giving the bal
ance Of power TO that notorious Funder
Republican. This 10 all strange enough
but In boldness OF effrontry and In
shameless Inconsistency It pales before
the present plainly maturing purpose Of
fbls sams Funder party to adopt the Bar
boar hill as Its platform and thus, with
Gen. Eehols as Its leader, to take delib-
cratsly and violently the public "sreditor
by the throat" We shall watch this
movement with curious but patient In
forest.

THE Wytheville ENTERPRISE makes a
very comical face over the idea that a
party as badly beaten as it says the Re-
adjusters were in the recent election,
can carry anything hereafter. That is
all very good we presume. But it would
seem then there is no sort of excuse for
the Funders to all turn Readiusters on
the heel of said election. Perhaps they
can crow for the love of it, and that
when they declared such forcible Read
justment as the Barbour Bill was "tak-
ing the creditor by the throat" and
therefore highway robbery, they were
'jest funnin." Come down without Il
shot gentlemen, if your victory was 30
complete.

Harper for December

Is probably the best number Of the
year. In variety and quality it seems
equally superior. The article on The
City of Pittsburg, would alone compen-
safe any of our people for the price OF
the magazine, giving as it does an in
sight into the coal and iron industry that
has for our people here remarkable in
terest at preset. Another article on
the Queens Ministry, Lords and Com
mons is of great interest and value.
HARPER now goes into another year,
and we are fully of the opinion that it
has no equal as a monthly magazine.
No, not on this globe.

AND now comes Hon. John Goode,
who seems for the first time to have re-
allied the force of public opinion, and
says "while unprepared to formulate any
proposition he gives it, as his aduice, that
the best men of the State ought to agree
on some proposition for the settlement
of the debt which would recognize the
temper Of the people and the state of pub
lie conviction on the subject as recently
expressed.
Indeed! Why this looks like submit
ting the matter to the people as the Fow-
Ter Amendment to the McCulloch bill
proposed. Submit to the people! Well
There's an advanc for you. Press on
boys! They are coming.

means to cover up the murder.

means to cover up the murder.
II seems that the deadly work was
done with the pole of an AK, both the vie
tins having their skulls crushed. The
assassin must certainly have been very
skillful and effective to escape without
arousing others in the house.
The PreSe and Times says Brown had
S2lO in money and a check for $40
Brown was u man between 20 and 30
years of age, son-in-aw of Henderson
Fudge, of Doughertyville, and leaves a
wive and two children, who were in
Bristol, as has been stated by us. Heck
was a youth Of II, son of Fayette Heck,
who lives with Brown.
The Ne,CS says Mr.. Brown has two
brothers in Bristol, Alex. and John,
the former being twin brother of the
unfortunate man. All the brothers
were about to engage in the carriage
building business in Bristol. His broth
ers said he had few bitter enemies and
they were unable to determine ut first
whether that or the greed for plumber
was the object of the assassin. The two
brothers and the wife and children left
Bristol for the awfnl scene Tuesday.

The Markets.

Notwithstanding the bad weather and
cold, business has been quite lively this
week. The wood question remains
about the same as last week except that
the article is scarcer. The railroads are
still shipping at 81 per cord. Maple
has advanced in our home market to IS
II cord. But with good sleighing it will
come in plenty. Hay is IS ton.
There has been no reduction since last
issue. The market is not over stocked
neither is there a scarcely. Butter,
eggs and potatoes, have all advanced
slightly. To all appearances potatoes
will be quite high this winter. Farmers
are bringing II good deal of butter and
pork and getting good price for it.
Pork is steady nj S4,75. Wheat has
gone up little, not much; No. being
SSc against sec last week. The gro
Gerry and dry goods business has been
more lively than was expected at first.
The apple market is steady, retailing
from 81 10 $3.50 per barrel. The wool
market is quiet, very little coming in.

Thanksgiving.

Once again, time, with noiseless tread
has brought TO us our annual Thanks
giving. II bears upon its wings peace
aud prosperity two things that forms
the basis of our happiness and thank
fulnsss. The year 1880 has been u
propitious one, and has filled the gran
aries of our farmer friends with plenty;
1t has brought encouragement to our
merchants; it has blessed our manufac-
turers, it has seen employment given to
all, and suffered our political battles
to end in peace and contentment. This
has been year well worthy of thanks
by all, and we hope to notice II strict
observance of it by an increased atten-
dance upon all places Of worship to-day.

Episcopal Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the Epis-
copal society of this place at the Opera
House Tuesday evening was a success in
every particular. Ii was exclusively a
home aitair,and the various parts in Cups
and Saucers and Poor Pillicoddy, were
ably sustained, and provoked much mer-
riment from the audience. The rccita-
ton of the BLACKSMITH Story" and
Little Ratchet" by Miss Greene, was
exceptionally well rendered, and plainly
showed that it was not her first appear
ance before public audience, although
her first before this community. The
singing was excellent and reflected much
credit upon the musical talent of the city.

in saving public and private property
without compensation, is worthy Of our

surrounding it are very beautiful. The
school is capable of holding 600
scholars. Ii contains forty-six rooms
and is heated by furnaces. Every
thing that adds to the comfort and
interest of the school has been done.
The school is divided into two differ.

Normal. The Model School is for the
little children who are just beginning to
form habits and who are too Young To

A project is on foot for establishing a
telephone exchange in this city. Some
sixteen have signed for line, and many
more will do so in day or two. The
idea is, TO have an exchange Office at the
city telegraph rooms, under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Smith, the operator,
then lines will be strung TO the various
places of those who desire them, all
connected with the central office. The
expense will be small, but the benefits
large. 1t will be better than mutual
insurance company, and we expect to see
all arrangements completed in short
time.
