from the Raleigh Neacs~O Observer

city where he was highly esteemed:
A telegram received here last
evening brought the had intelli-
gence of the death Of Mr.. George
IL. Snow, which occurred at the
Albemarle Hotel in New York at
6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.,
Shows death was not unexpected
He had been very i'll in New York
fer several weeks, and for several
days past it was known that his
life had been Pickering upon the
uncertain borderland, and yesters
day morning the news came that
the worst might be expected. The
final sad intelligence of his death
was nevertheless not without the
keenest accompanying sense OF
sorrow here where his death will
be felt SO deeply as a personal oee
to all who knew him so well. The
news of his untimely taking of
will carry a load of sorrow to
many hearts. The remains will

That our bank has peerlessly weathS

Dear Aryms;-Perhaps it will be
inter esting for you to know that,
on Sunday, July 80, the house of
Mr.. Jno. W. Holly, of Bentonsyille
township, Johnston county, was
struck by lightning, killing Mr.. Holly
and his wife instantly and severely
stunning the other members of the
family, one Of which is in a critical
con lition. Mrs. Holly, Mr.. Holly's
mother, was first to recover from the
shock, but for this the house and all
within would have burned. as the
little girl, whose condition is so critS
ical, was all ablaze.
These are the facts as best as [
could gather them, and I was there
a short while after the accident.
