The death of Mrs. Magraw, wife
of Adam r. Magrsw, Esq. of Wes
Nottingham caused a painful feeling
to this whole community when intIl
ligence of her death was received
which did not become generally
known before Friday morning. Mrs
Magraw was at her sisters in Balti
more under medical treatment when
the summons from the angel OF
death came to her on Wednesday
evening, February 18th. On Satur-
day her remains were laid away in
tile family lot in West Nottingham
Cemetery. She leaves family OF
three children-two girls and one
boy-at that tender age when the
SOLICITORS care of mother is most
needful and husband, the darkness
of whose grief few can realize. The
faint CLEAN of consolation which the
sincere sympathy OF friends and
neighbors can bestow is freely ex-
tended to the stricken husband and
bereaved children,
Cecil Grange will hold a special
meeting tomorrow afternoon, at |
O'Clock, and members are urged to
endeavor to attend, as business of
Importance requires prompt action.
The Master of the State Grange has
issued a circular letter to all subor
dinate oranges to appoint next week
to make special effort to add to the
membership of the grange. Tie
National Grange has advised al,
Oranges throughout the country to
devote week to similar missionary
work. The general belief among
farmers throughout this broad land
is that their only hope of escaping
utter ruin and condition similar to
Irish tenantry, is to organize, in
order that their combined power can
be brought to bear on. and endeavor
to correct, the false and destructive
Legislation which is raising up a crop
of millionaire on the one hand and
a crop of paupers on the other.
Organize, organize. Pass the word
on.

spiritus frumenti, aqua fontanis, of
each four ounces. Dissolve
Directions-Talle a wine glass full
before each meal and ottener if after
examining the skin the patient be
dry. This draught, according to the
eminent Berlin professor, gives ape
tite, and by its action on the medulla
oblongata, prevents that great degree
of mental and physical depression
which is so characteristic Of la grippe.
1t aids the digestion by reason Of
stimulating the secretion Of free
hydrochloric acid, which is an import
ant constituent Of gastric juice.

RIG SPRING BOOM.
The Formation OF New land Com
pRDy.

Big Spring has "the grip on q large.
sized boom. All the land in and
around Big Spring, Montgomery
county, has been secured by Judge
George B. McLane Of this city, and
his friends, anda land company with
capital of S200,000 organized, of
which Judge McLane is president, and
Colonel A. j. Deyerle, Of Big Spring,
the vice president.
Work will begin at once toward
laying out town. AS for minerals,
the country Whereabouts is one solid
bed of iron ore, manganese, zinc and
coal of the best and purest quality.
Heavy timber also abounds near by,
thus making building material cheap.
The Big Springs property, one of
the best and most healthful resorts in
the state, will be fitted up in fine
style for summer visitors. Those who
know it say nature herself seems to
have devised this place Us one well
suited to the manufacture of iron.
Lime, water and coal will be at the
very doors of the iron furnaces which
are to be erected there. The prospects
are such they say as to make the
leen-eyed iron mongers hearts leap
with joy at the bountifulness of ma
tire.
1t is learned from the most anthem
tic source that the Baltimore and
Ohio will seek an outlet into the ore
ard coal fields Of Southwest Virginia
and Tennessee via Salem and Bris-
toll, or Western North Carolina, and
that surveyors are now on the pro
posed route.
That Big Spring is an admirable
spot on which to build city cannot
be controversial, and no one is better
able to consummate this undertaking,
than Judge George B. McLane,e who,
tho northern man by birth, has by
his fair and honest dealings impressed
most favorably all with whom he has
come in contact.
The judge said yesterday evening
that the stock of the Big Spring Land
company would soon be on the
market, but the larger part was
spoken for by several of our
Roanoke business men who know a
good thing when they see it They
were informed, however, that there
were several essential points to be
ed before the company would
be ready for business. Judge Nc
Lane will continue to reside, in Roa
noke, where he is very popular.
