also his shoulder and side severely in-
iured. 1t was about midnight when

was heard walking his room by Mrs.

upon rushing out MIR, Kelley found bis
worst fears reallzed-poor Graham lying

Warren Sentinel: Mr.. Andrew Pit
man. one of our oldest citizens, was
taken suddenly Ill Monday morning aud
his condition Tor a time created appre-
tensions of serious results, but he has
rallied and we hope soon to see him
upon the streets again and engaged IN
daily active pursuits.

from any county in Virginia Or other
Slate, are cordially invited to join IN
the procession on that day, and take
part in the unyeillng o! the monument

" ipchesler Times: From the Loud
oun Telephone we learn that the sur
veyors for the w, s. w. r. r. are al
work near Morgan's Mill, about three
miles from the Shenandoah River and
about six miles above Castleman''
Ferry. The route which is being sur.
veyed will cross the river about seven
miles above the ferry.
Capt. Johu Glaize has threshed ility
acres of wheat which yielded l494
bushels-machiue measure. The wheat
is of excellent quality, and when
weighed will doubtless overrun the
above measurement. He has 50 acres
of apparently much better wheat yet to
thresh, which will probably make his
average considerable over thirty bushel
per acre.
Dut the best yield we have heard OF
vet. and which we don't think can be
surpa ssed in the Valley, was realized
BY Mr.. Brannon Thatcher, who got
l54 bushels from a 81 acre lot, or very
nearly As bushely to the acre-wilhout
the use Of any fertilizer.

rarely ever said L am SEX and this
sudden seyerlng OF the thread of life buI
conyinces all that truly Ia the midst
Of life we are in death
