wYrHEvILLE wHIspER1NGs.

The citizens of Wytheville are much
in hopes that Harry Chapman, OF Salem,
Will conclude to open up tho Crockett
House, which he owns, for summer visi-
tors. Tho option given on tho Jackson
Park Hotel was not closed and so far no
arrangements have been made to COM
pletc it this spring. No town in Vir-
ginia is better adapted to q summer
resort, nor has a wider reputation in
that direction than Wytheville, and it
is great pity that the accommodation
She provides for summer visitors should
be so inadequate.
Capt. Blair has leased the iron ores
on his farm, near Wytheville, to Messrs.
Hawlie and Lunday, who will begin
digging as soon as possible. ID. S.
Forney, of Alllsonia, has entered into q
contract with Maj. HAMLET. of Wythe.
Vile, for mining some of his valuable
Cripple Creek ores during the spring
and summer.
Tho Max Meadows Iron Furnace and
Rolling Millsare shortly to be put in
operation and to supply to them the
necessary ores the Hanson mines near
by, owned by the furnace company, will
BIO opened at once.
The amateurs, under the direction Of
MISS Alice Huff, are practicinG the
operatta to be played early in next
munth for the purpose of paying debt
on.the Sunday school chapel in Tin town,
q suburb of Wytheville.
The remains of q we'll known colored
man named Lorenza johnson, a native
of Wytheville, were brought hero from
Pocahontas on Tuesday for burial His
relatives and friends suspccting that he
had been poisoned, as they believe two
such attempts to have previously been
made on his life, requested post
norton examination. The condition of
his stomach and intestines was such as
To leave the ply sicians hero in doubt
as to whether acute disease or poison
caustd his death and portions of them
were sent to Prof. Mallet Of the univer-
sitY, for analysis.
The delegates from the Wytheville
Church with several visitors went to
Pulaski yesterday to attend the annual
session of Abingdon prcsbytery.
Mrs. VIM. Easley, of Bluefield, nee
Miss Estelle Holbnole, is visiting her
parents at the Fourth avenue hotel.
Mrs. DR.. Moorman, of Roanoke, is in
Wytheville at her fathers, Col. Robt
