in an appropriate manner. mt this

These occasions always require the
expenditure of more or less money
for flags for graves. music, &c, and
as the Post at this place is small in
numbers, the expense on the indi-

would be more than they could bear,
they, therefore, appeal TO the patri-
otto and country loving people of
this place and vicinity, for small
contributions to defray expenses.
Contributions will be solicited by
the above named committee; also
by Col. ]. p. r.. b. Smith, DIR. y. r.

authorized to appoint sub-commit-
tees to assist them. An account of
the contributions and all expendi-
lures will be published in the town
papers, and it is hoped that all will
contribute something, if only "A

DEATHs.-We are panied to an,
nounce the death of Mr.. John Will
coxen, an aged man, which occurred
at his home on Ten Mile Creek, or
the 18th inst.
A little child aged z years of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Kiecktinger, died in
this place Saturday after a few
hours illness.
On the 18th inst, at his home on
Ten Mile, Arthur Plants, in his 18th

AT the County Infrmary, May
18th, Mrs. Susan Long, an aged
lady.
Oscar Walker aged ten years
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Augustus Walk.
er and grand son of Messrs. Thorn
as Walker and Geo. Lavender Smith
all of whom are dead, was taken
with a severe vomiting on the
morning of the 18th inst, which
continued till s o'clock P. NJ. when
he took commissions and soon died.
The fact that shortly after the poor
delicate little boy died, his body
became quite spotted, which seemed
to excite tho suspicion of some OF
the neighbors around, that there
was something foul about the sud-
den demise of the boy, and the sus-
picion grew to such enormity that
Dr.. Barbee, Coroner of the county
was notified and went down to in
vestigate the matter, and we are
glad to report that the autopsy
developed no grounds to
justify the suspicion of foul play in
the death of the boy. The heavy
vomiting had ruptured blood ves-
sci in the child's head, which ter
minated his life SO suddenly. DIR.
Barbee did not deem it necessary to
summon jury or to continue the
inquest.

In MEMoRY.-StephenI Linkfield,
died ut his home near Glenwood,
w. Va, May 9th. 1890. The death
of this young man deserves some
thing more than a passing notice.
He was loved by all who knew him,
and we doubt indeed if he had an
enemy. We had hoped and prayed
for his recovery, but He who rules
the universe knows why our pray
ers were not aswered and some day
will show that it was best for us.
Many fond hopes lie buried, many
loving hearts are bleeding, for none
knew him but to love him. 1t seems
hard that one so young should be
taken from us, but "He doeth all
things we'll" Strangers will glance
at this memoir merely learning that
some one has lived and died, but
those who knew Stephen will read
it with tear dimmed eyes, and IL
will be many years ere he is for
gotten. Dear friends mourn not,
thy loved one though he has left
you he is with Christ which is far
better. Stephen fare thee well
sweet be thy sleep a few days OF
years at most, and we'll greet thee
in that bright any happy home.
