In the death OF Major Clugett, Lexington has

and rejoiced in its returning prosperity.
Major Clagett was II native of Montgomery
county, Maryland, and both by birth and mar

prominent and influential famiiiesin that state

during the war between the states. He was
twice married. His fiji st wife was Miss Ann
Wilson, of Howard county, Missouri; his

Major Clagett's long and successful career
as a merchant marks him as Il man eff ability

business life. 1t Was unobtrusive, quiet
| peaceful, rs far as possible unmoved from

place at church unless kept away by causes
which he could not control, and was u sincere
and devOut wOrshiper of the God whom he

| tinued until within about Il year past To attend
| to some business he had connected with mir
| ing coal. In the spring of this year he became
| very feeble, and In the summer made visit Il
| his native state, which, with his friends anC
| kindred there he continued to live, in the hope
| that he might be benefited by the change. II,
