Tuesday night last number of our enterpris-
ing citizens met at the office Of Edw'd Eohols,
Esq., take into consideration the best means
to promote the prosperity of the city. There

ton, Isaac Witt, NJ. N Bradley, Chas E.

Hoge, J. E, Rollins, DR.. n. Wayt and
Edward Echols. NJ. N bradley was chosen
chairman of the meet ing, and Arsta Hoge,
Secretary.
Several suggestions were considered, and
after discussions the plan most favoredsas a
preliminary step, was proposition to form a
joint stock company, with a capital of $780,
900, in 800 shares-10 per cent Of which ia
to be paid in cash and Al per share per month
thereatter--so soon as the company is or
ganixed. A committee Of five was appointed

Hainos, ]. 4. Rollins and ]. A. Cochran, 10
consider the whole subject, and ascertain The
amount that could he raised from our citi-
zens. This committee will determine the
character ofthe enterprise to be undertaken as
that which will most probably form nucleus

with confidence in Its success. The gentle
men who have thus manifested concern in
the future growth OF the city, are well known
business men, VINO will give character TO any
project that may be decided upon, and bring
to its aid the active sympathy and support
OF the COMMUNITY. It is a move in the right
direction, and we hope good wiz grow out

SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPT. Fl. II. PECK
Yesterday morning about 5 clock, DR.. J. NJ
Hanger was summoned TO attend the bedside
of Capt. H. II. Peck. The Doctor found the
patient experiencing great Difficulty of breath.
ing, having spent restless, painful night
DR.. Hangers first impression was that Capt
Peck was suffering from bronchial conges.
ton and gave him some medicine TO relieve
it. This seemed to have the desired effect
the patient expectorating and breathing more
freely. In his effort to expectorate Capt
Peck raised in the bed and rested on his ell.
bow. Shortly after attaining this position be
threw his hand over his lung and exclaiming
"There is something wrong here,' fell back
and died almost instantly. Congestion of the
lungs, liz the opinion Of the doctor, was the
fatal disease.
Capt. Peck had been suffering from deep
cold for about week, having contracted il
at Harrisonburg, al the March Court. Day
before yesterday he was on the street. In
the evening Of that day, whilst splitting a
knotty stick of wood, he was seized with a
violent pain IN the chest. During the night
there was recurrence of this pain several
times.
Capt. Peck was an old resident of Staun-
ton. Years ago he was sheriff of the county,
and at one time was regarded as one of the
most prominent business men of the city. He
was member Of the Masonic Fraternity
and will be buried with the ceremonies of the
Order to-day.

Tyree, Martin & Logan's Wholesale
Drug House.

The Wholesale establishment Of Tyree, Mar.
tin u Logan, South Augusta street, Is doing q
big business. The firm is the successor of
". X. Tyree. and occupies the large three
story warehouse adjoining the wholesale gro
Gerry of Gooch. Hoge 8 Co. Mr. Tyree is the
senior partner, and his associates are Mr.. Jno.
D. Martin, late Of the Augusta National Bank
and Of Logan &c Co., and Mr.. VIM. B. Logan,
late Of VIM. B. Logan s. Co. Mr.. Tyres
gives his attention almost exclusively to the
sales, his transactions reaching out through
Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. He Is on
the road nearly all of the time, and the re-
markable business established during the past
tive years testiies to his peculiar fitness for
that vocation. Mr.. Martin has charge of the
warerosms and house business generally, and
Mr.. Logan is the head of the retail department
on Main street, the firm being there changed
to Logan, Tyree 6 Martin. All are young
business men, full of energy, each an expert
enced druggist with fine business capacity, and
together make team hard to beat. At the
wholesale house they carry large stock. The
three floors of the building are each 20x9O feet.
The lower floor is set apart for the storage of
heavy and bulky goods. such as oils, soaps,
bottles, boxing and the like. The second floor
Ii devoted In part to tobaccos, cigars, drugs,
patent medicines, &c. The front is occupied
by the Office, and the rear by the bottling and
packing department, where the well-known
and popular "Fyree's Camomile Bitters7 are
prepared. These Bitters have attained a large
sale and widespread distribution. They are
put up BY the car load and shipped to many
points in the seven States mentioned above.
On the upper or third floor are stored the fancy
articles and light goods, such as stationary,
fancy soaps, essences, paper bags, and variety
Of goods, the mere naming of which would
occupy column. The entire establishment
is complete, and as the firm purchases In large
Quantities il is enabled to give peculiar ad- |
vantages to Its customers. It guarantees to |
duplicate the prices from any house dealing in |
similar lines. and shis is especially the case |
with tobacco and cigars, soaps, plain and fancy,
goods, &c. of which it carries an |
extensive assortment.
The business last year exceeded the expectaS
tons Of the then proprietor, and this year,
with increased facilities, 1t will doubtless at
tain still greater proportions. Indeed, this
house may be looked upon as one of the pros
persus institutions Of our town, which is
destined TO expand with each successive sea-
'on, and add to the commercial Importance
md wealth Of Stanton. The firm intend to
merit success by fair. square dealing, energy,
bush and enterprise. The material is there
md good use will be made of it.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-The house of Mr.. Luke
Woodward, near Craigsville, was burned to
the ground on Saturday last, together with a
large proportion of its contents. The fire
caught from spark on the roof Loss about
$1,000. We could not learn whether or not

a worthy man.
