a large place within three miles OF

was down at Velasco and purchased
some lots a short time since, and it
was limited that he was preparing

superiority of his investments here

PACKAGE OF OLD LETTERS.

Capt. o. B. Hughes recently
wrote to his old home In Georgia
for some legal documents belonging
to his father, Capt. Henry Hughes
and among them was sent package
of old letters, which are interesting
from the fact that the latest date
any of them bears in 1766 and most
of them date back even earlier than
this. They are slightly fraYed at
the creases and yellow from age,
but the writing is as plain as if it
had been written only few months
instead of century ago.
Among the first we glance over
bears date of Sept. 1882 and is .
notice from Capt. Thos. BowYer to
'.Lt. Henry Hughes informing him
that in accordance with an act of
the Assembly of Virginia for re-
ceiving the states quota of troops to
serve in the Army of the United
States, he appointed him recruiting
officer, requiring to him report at
Staunton, Va, rendezvous.
Another bearing a subsequent
date is from William Davis and
written by order of "his Excellency
the Governor in Council" certifying
that he was appointed to the rank
and command of Ensign of the Vir-
GINA continental time of Infantry
to take rank from the 26th of Feb
ruary 1881, and was written, signed
and sealed in the war Office in the
state of Virginia, at Richmond.

printed, bearing date of 1892 exc

Hughes power of attorney is inter
esting in appearance, furnishing as it
does such contrast TO documents
of a similar nature at this time, a
hundred years after. The seal on
this document put there with Jas.
Shorter's name is indeed an antique
affair, being a blank piece of paper
irregular scalloped as if though it
had been done with dull pair of
scissors without any guide The
yellow spot in the center of it may
have some significance, but it ap-
pears to have been made by the
white of an egg which was then
sometimes used in lieu of mucilage.

ALL ARE OUT OF DANGER.


BRADFORD. Pa. Oct. 17.-Though the ex-
citement following the poisoning of fully
eighty women delegates to the State conven-
tion of the w. G. L. u. has somewhat died
out. the mysterious affair is still the topic
here and will be for some time.
Some of the delegates were taken down
Immediately after dinner, but not until
O'clock were the full effects of the poison
manifest. Physicians say the symptoms
were all those peculiar to poisoning. There
was no fOrerunner of the sickness but q
sudden and terrible gnawing al the vitals,
accompanied by uncoDtrollabe vomiting.
In certain more severe cases the pulses
of the patients lowered until almost
imperceptible, followed by deathly pallor
and complete pr0stration. The absurd
theory of the most severely stricken, that
the food had been poisoned or the air of the
church impregnated with gas by some
liquor dealers. or other opponents of the
temperance cause, Was completely explod-
ed to-day. Physicians were of
the opinion they had been pois-
oned by some deadly stuff or powder
sprinkled on the grapes, but this theory
was also incorrect when investigation to-
day showed that the people had been poi
soned by food improperly cooked in copper
kettles. OF the eighty taken ILL., some
thirty were at first supposed to be beyond
hope, and the consequent distress and CON-
sternatiOn among the citizens may be imag-
ined. All those dangerously i'll are now
out of danger. and il is safe TO say that all
will recover
