June 10th.
Death of Another Old Citizen.

Mr.. James Nelson Montgomery depart
ed this life at his home land surrounded by
his family in Lewisburg, W. Va, at II
O'Clock p. m. Monday, the 18th of June,
1885.
| Mr.. Montgomery was born in the county
| OF Augusta, Va, in the year 1918, and was
in the 6Sth year of his age. He lost his
| father when he was young, and be, with
number of other children, were left to the
| care and training of godly and pious
mother and maternal uncle, Mr.. James
| Nelson, in whose house he made his home
for some years.
MIR. Montgomery was member of the
old Augusta or Stone Church congregation,
under the ministrations of Drs. Conrad
Specie and William Brown, and afterwards
of the LIST Presbyterian Church of Rich
mond, under DR.. VIM. S. Plumer. He
came to Lewisburg about the year 1916,
and was for number of years an
active member of the mercantile firm
of Bell & Montgomerys. In the year
tors of the Lewisburg branch of the Farm
ers' Bank Of Virginia, elected the Teller of
that Bank, which position he occupied
to the entire satisfaction of the directory
and the public until the general wreck of
the banking system of the State caused the
war between the North and South.
When a good man passed away how sore
ly the want of his counsel and presence are
felt in his family. What sad loss TO the
church and to society at large. Mr. Mont
gomery was an earnest and consistent
christianity his walk and conversation
did what he could to recommend our
holy religion to all with whom he had in
tercourse. AS Ruling Elder in the
Presbyterian Church of Lewisburg and the
clerk of the Session his fidelity was mark
ed. He ever took lively interest in the
Sunday School of that Church, of which he
was for many years the faithful and efficient
Superintendent. In season and out of sea-
son, and when suffering acute pain from
what proved to be an incurable disease, he
was ever at the post of duty.
What consolation to his friends to know
that through all of the weary and protract-
ed months of severe suffering medical skill
and sympathy did all that it could to allevi-
ate and if possible to cure; willing hands
ever ministered to every conceivable want,
even before expression was given to such
want; that loving hearts sympathized with
him in his sufferings, and that true, flial
affection watched over the dear sufferer and
witnessed his last expiring breath.
Farewell, dear friend and brother. How
sad our parting. But we know that after
a life of such christian fidelity and so much
of patient suffering that it is well with thee,
and that on the bosom of the dear Saviour
you have found rest. S.

A Sad Tragedy In Charlotte, N. C.
RESULT OF A FEUD BETWEEN FAMILIES
WHICH CAUSED c.. LONG TO SHOOT
AND KILL HIS FATHER IN-LAw.


Charlotte, N. c., June 9.-lThis after
noon between 3 and O'Clock, the startling
report of pistol was heard near the public
square. A few minutes after it was dis
covered that FL. c. Long had killed W. f.
Cuthbertson, his father-in-law. This is
the result of Cuthbertson's threats against
the life of long. When Long married Miss
Cuthbertson her father was very much en-
ragged and at the time had to be put under
bond to keep the peace. Sunday last Mrs.
Cuthbertson went to see her daughter and
grandchild. When she returned home her
husband nearly killed her with a buggy
whip and would have shot her if she had
not thrown the cartridges out doors before
he could load his pistol. Afterwards be
sent word to Long that he intended to kill
him and his (Long's) wife. Long is now
in Jail and will have a trial tomorrow
morning. The popular verdict is in favor
of Long, and consider it a clear case fself
defense.

the latter, are designated East and W est from

Beverly and Augusta streets. The door num-
bers are the odd on the rght-hand side leaving
Beverly and Augusta streets in either direc-

bers.

The Buildings Destroyed at RawIey Springs.

We noticed last week the destruction of
the main buildings at Rawley Springs. In
describing these buildings and the loss in
cured. the Harrisonburg People, of the
18th inst, says =
''The houses destroyed were immense
buildings of the kind. The Washington
house was some 900 feet long by 45 feet
wide, and five stories high. The Virginia
house, four stories high, had a front of 1870
feet, and a depth, with the ell, of 10 feet.
The Baltimore house, separated from the
others by some 10 feet, was saved by con-
slant application of water through hose
and force pump.
The loss is probably $50, 600, with an in
suranee of S13, 900 for the benefit of credi-
tors.
A meeting of the stockholders will be at
once held to determine what is to be done.
We sincerely hope that some plan may be
devised by which Rawley will be again re-
stored to its just claims as being among
the best watering place in the country"
The SPIRIT Of the Valley says =
"AIr. Carter Sprinkle, who was there in
the capacity of telegraph operator and post
master, barely made his escape. What
mail was there was destroyed. One, Mr..
Isaac Hoover, we understand, is the loser
of registered letter containing about $215.
We learn that at meeting of the direc-
tors on Wednesday they determined to
keep the Springs open, and accommodate as
as many as possible in the Baltimore House,
and to at once erect what other buildings
are absolutely necessary"
