BELLAIRE.
A. B. White, an unfortunate man, is
living in boat house near the creek in a
terrible condition. Some years ago he
was a prosperous farmer. He had family
troubles, and finally his nervous system
gave entirely out. When he was able to
move about he came to Bellaire and started
grocery with the money he got from his
farm. Not being able TO attend the bust
ness as he should, and being man of easy
disposition, it was not long until the dead
beats of Bellaire had ruined him. For
some time he peddled trinkets on the
streets. BY slow degrees he has been re-
duccd to very poor circumstances. Last
week he wandered down to the river,
where he remained two or three days. He
existed on mussels, etc, until taken in
charge by the kind people of that part of
town.
