| The Greenville NeiUs of last Thursday
says: "The Greenville NewS has received
| from very straight sources the astonishing
information that Capt. Y. e. McBee is to
be Superintendent Of the Blue. Ridge
Railroad. The idea of man who has
! controlled many hundreds of miles OF
line going to little fifty-six mile prong
with one train day looked very absurd,
| but the rumor came from inside. 1t was
confirmed by the order Of Manager Green
In which the Blue Ridge and the Laurens
road are excepted from the-j jurisdiction OF
Superintendent Ryder. From another
source and from yon side of the mountain
there comes another story which fits in
with the first one. It is that Captain
McBee has been employed by Vanderbilt
to develop some OF bis property and build
town on it in Western North Carolina.
The stories together look like an extern
sion of the Blue Ridge through the noun
tains to and beyond the Vanderbilt hold
ings."
Mrs. Sallie Armstrong, reliot Of the late
Chesley Armstrong, died suddenly at her
home in Piedmont last Monday morning
about o'clock, aged about 46 years. 1t
seems that about an hour preceding she
aroused her daughter, who was sleeping
with her, and complained of having very
daughter to get up and make little fire
to heat some water. The daughter has.
tened to perform the duty, and in few
minutes the mother was sitting before the
| fire, She had not been sitting there but q
few minutes, when she suddenly tn I'm bled
| to the floor. The daughter awoke the
other members of the family and physi.
clan was summoned, but before he ar
| rived death had claimed the good woman
as its victim. Mrs. Armstrong was most
excellent Christian woman, and the. an.
nouncement Of her death brought sadness
to many hearts. She was member OF
the Baptist Church, and was highly es-
teemed by her friends and acquaintances:
Her remains were inferred at Piedmont
yesterday. Three sons and two daughters
survive her.

nells have become 80 thoroughly estab-
lished In public favor and gained such a
reputation in the character of their goods
and honesty in their dealings as the popu-
lar New York clothing and gents furnish

Lat Thursday. about o'clock, the
.Chas. NJ. Sherard, who lived near the wes-
tern limits of the city, had committed sui
eide. The information shocked every
body, and many could hardly believe that
the report was true. In few minutes
several intimate friends were on the way
to the home of the deceased, and, upon
reaching there, they found the poor fellow
dead. His body was found hanging from
joist in an outbuilding, and was first
discovered BY his children, who immedi-
ately notified their mother. Mrs. Sherard
ran to the building and cut him down.
He had not been hanging more than hf-
teen minutes, for he had left his dwelling
only about twenty minutes preceding.
Mrs. sherard used every method to revive
him, but her efforts were in vain, for his
neck was broken. The deceased bad
climbed up on barrel, and, after tying
the rope around his neck and the joist,
tied his hands between his legs and jump
ed off the barrel. he had been drinking
for several days preceding, and this was
no doubt the reason for taking his own
life. Mr.. Sherard was son of Mr.. James
Sherard, of Corner Township, and was
about 3S years of age. He lived in the
Corner until nearly two years ago. when
he moved near the city and engaged In
truck farming and the dairy business.
He was a genial, clever man, and was
highly esteemed by his friends. He was
succeeding well in his business. Mr..
Sherard married Miss Beatty, q
daughter Of Mr.. @. s. Beatty. who, with
nine little children, are left to mourn his
death. In their sore bereavement they
have the sympathy of our whole people,
The remains were inferred at Generostee
Church last Friday, Rev. r. G. Lgon con-
Quoting the funeral services.
The Athens (ea.l Banner, Of Tuesday,
July 81, says: Yesterday morning at 8
of Mr.. G.. w. Richardson, died at the
home of her husband, near Athens, after q
brief but painful illness. She was in the
10th year of her age, and seemed to be in
the prime of womanhood, and life opened
out brightly before her. Mrs. Richardson
was well known in this city, and was a
lady of many amiable traits Of character,
and won friends wherever she was known.
For several years she lived in Athens. and
for time her husband kept one of the
college boarding houses on the campus,
and her memory will be cherished by
many Of the young men who graduated at
the University. She had q bright religious
experience, having been converted in early
/ childhood. It was then that she united
with the Baptist Church, and she has been
consistent Christian from that time un.
| til the day of her death. Mrs. Richardson
leaves sorely stricken husband and five
little children, one of them being an in
fant Of q few days, to mourn her death,
] besides many relatives and friends who
mingle their sympathies and tears with
the bereaved. By this sad providential
stroke Mr.. Richardson's home life has
been sadly shattered. His children being
small, he could not keep them at his
home, and will place them in charge of his
brother, Mr.. Milton Richardson, at Hart
well, Ga. The remains of Mrs. Richard
