was packed. { gave The programme Of
exercises in my last. 1t was one of the
best entertainments of the kind that ]
have had the pleasure of attending for q
great while. The debate was unusually
interesting. The Question, "Should the
Constitution Of the U. S. require an ed
ucational qualification for suffrage?''
being the one under discussion. The
arguments on both sideswere strong and
forcibly put, but the committee, Profess
sors Hearon and Wester, and Judge
Rhea, were unanimous in favor Of the
negative. The contestants were E. A.
lilly and H. II. Newman, for aft, and
j. Angel Burrow, and c. ii. Slack, for
neg. Messrs. r. b. Brand, j. r. Mil
lard and A. B. Whitaker, acquitted
themselves in highly creditable man
ner. The young gentlemen engaged,
all showed signs Of careful training and
close application to study.
Sergt. d. A. Wheeler, on Saturday
morning last at o'clock, arrested one
w. IL. Yates. on the Va. yard in a ca
boose, which had just arrived from
Lynchburg. The arrest was made in
response to Telegram from the chief of
police at Lynchburg. Yates is sup
posed to have murdered Mr.. Atkinson,
at Sycamore Station, OIL the L. q d. r.
r. near Danville,' on last Thursday
night. Atkinson was found murdered
on Friday morning, and Yates who had
been with him was missing. He was
traced to Lyrchbug, where he had taken
the train for Bristol. When arrested he
had pistol two knives and three pocket
books. Scrg't Wheeler took him una
wares, and secured his arrest without
trouble. There is no more efficient, fear
less, and reliable officer than Sergeant
Wheeler.
And now, as the time for the mating
of the birds approaches, may be allow
cd to say, that rumor has it, that one of
Bristol's most popular and worthy
young gentlemen, and one of her fairest
daughters, will solve the interesting and
blissful problem-one and one make
one--on or near the 18th.

Letter from Nickelsyille.
NIcKELsvILLE, VA. Jan. slst, lss

NIcKELsvILLE, Va. Jan. 3lst, 1882.
Editor Of the Netos:
We had very sad case of drowning
on the 10th inst at the ford of Copper
Creek, two miles west of this place.
Mrs. VIM. Vickars and Mrs. David Smith
were going across Copper Creek, and
Mrs. Vickars was ridinE small horse,
and she asked Mrs. Smith, who was rid
ing larger one, to carry her infant,
about ten months old, which Mrs.
Smith attempted to do, and when about
the middle of the creek her horse Stun
bled with her, throwing her and the
child and her little son, who was riding
behind her into the water. The creek
being deep and swift, the child tloated
off from her. Mr.. Eli Salyer,. an aged
gentleman, who lives in about $50 Yards
of the ford, heard the screams and ran
to them in time to save Mrs. Smith and
her little son, but too late to save the
infant, which was only found and res
cued from its watery grave at C.. X.
Broadwater's, some Is miles below the
ford some time that evening. Sad to
say, two gentlemen were at the creek at
the time and did not attempt to rescue
any of the parties, and had not Mr..
Salyer come to their rescue, most likely
Mrs. Smith and son would both have
drowned.
But little other news here. Nickels-
vile is still on the look up. Sorry /
cannot give you as flattering news from
here as "Old Point" We have had a
good deal of drinking here during this
winter, much more than usual; and
now Nickelsvillc can afford a drinking
house for the the first time probably in
its history. SO travellers, call and
quench your thirst; are we not going
onward and upward, or is it blackboard
and do,cn,odrd? Soon now, real estate
will be worth some so per cent, as much
as usual. Wonder where sold Point"
was during the holidays, that he saw no
one drinking or drunk. Surely it could
be said he sleepeth. CUBIC.
