Flavius Josephus Snyder died of Or
ganic disease of the heart at the resi-
dence Of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Luz
cinda Snyder, three miles west of Lew
isburg, last Saturday, the 18th instant,
aged 81 years. Funeral services were
held at the Presbyterian church Sunday
afternoon, after which his body was
laid to rest in our town cemetery.
Mr.. Snyder was native Of Highland
county, Va, and a brother OF Judge A.
&. Snyder of our town. He served
during the war as member of the 3lst
Virginia Infantry, G. S. A, and en-
joyed reputation as one of the best
soldiers that went from Highland
county. After the war he attended
Washington College and then took the
law course at the University of Vir-
ginia. He practiced his profession
here for some years, married Miss Sal
lie Cary Of Lewisburg, and then moved
to Pocahontas county where he lived
until some time last year when, owing
to the condition Of his health, his
friends succeeded in getting him into
the Lee Camp Soldiers Home at Rich
mond, Va. He was on leave of alb
sence from the " Home" at the time of
his death. Mr.. Snyder possessed an
acute and discriminating mind, and
had natural aptitude for legal studies
which, but for the unfortunate habit
that doubtless FASTENED his death,
would have given him an enyiable
place at the bar.

Speakers for tho Reunion.

Since our last issue the committee
has received from Capt. Micajah Woods
OF Charlottesville, Va, due notice of
his acceptance of the invitation ex-
tended to him to be with us on the 25th
to address the old veterans of the
Greenbrier Valley. The committee Is
fortunate in securing the services of
Capt. Woods, for he enjoys fine repu-
tation as an eloquent, pleasing and i'm
pressive speaker, and we have no doubt
that his speech here on the 18th will be
most delightful treat to every old vet
eran who may be fortunate enough to
hear him. Capt. Woods is already
well known to many of our people, be-
ing son of the late DR.. John II.
Woods, OF Albemarle, whose wife,
Capt. Woods mother, was Miss Sabina
Lewis Stuart Creigh, of Greenbrier.-|
He is thus first cousin of our towns
man John A. Preston, Esq, and has
other relatives in this county. He ell
tered the Confederate army at the age
OF II, and served as volunteer aide on
the staff of Gen. Floyd in the noun
tains OF West Virginia in the cam
paign Of 1861. In May, 1862. he ell
listed as private in the Albemarle
Light Horse, End Va. Cavalry, and par
ticipated in many noted battles. He
afterwards served as acknowledgement
OF Clarkson's brigade, and still later
was elected first lieutenant of Jackson's
battery of horse artillery, participating
in the battles Of Gettysburg, Cold Har-
Dor, Winchester, &c. After the war
he graduated in law at the University
OF Virginia, and since 1870 has been
the efficient prosecuting attorney of
Albemarle county, and has twice been
the choice of the eastern counties of
his district for Congress.
The military service of Capt. Bum.
gardner, the other speaker, was no less
conspicuous and honorable. He en-
tered the service as adjutant of the 9TH
regiment, Stonewall brigade, and served
with that regiment during the first year
of the war, participating in the battles
of Kernstown, Falling Waters and Ma
Ill WIG VI VIC
army in 1862 he volunteered as a pri-
vate In the SD Va. infantry which was
attached to brigade which greatly dis
tinguished itself during the war and
known as " EaIly's Old Brigade" He
rose from the ranks to the office of
captain and fought with Jackson in all
the great battles Of his celebrated. Val
ley campaign, and participated in many
of the splendid victories of the army of
Northern Virginia. Capt. Bumgard-
ner was with Early at Lynchburg when
he repulsed Hunter, the murderer of
David s. Creigh, in honor of whom our
Camp is named. He was captured at
the battle of Winchester Sept. 18th,
1864, and was prisoner at Fort Della
ware from then until the close of the
| war.
We anticipate two splendid speeches
from these gentlemen on the 25th, and
know that we will not be disappointed.

We are still having fine season for
the maturing of corn and other grow
ing crops. There is the greatest album
dance and the most luxuriant growth
of vegetables, such as tomatoes, beans,
potatoes and all such, as is seldom seen.
Surely there will be an ample supply of
all such to meet the wants of all who
have used the means to secure them.
Immediately succeeding the session
of the District Conference which con-
yened at the McMillion Chapel a series
of protracted services haye been held !,
resulting in number of conversions.

Little Ward Campbell, infant son Of
the late w. A. Blake, died at the home

by Rev. Mr.. DObbs, and the little one
was laid to rest beside it's father in Oak
Hill cemetery.
1 wrote you some time ago OF a fete
Of snake killing performed by 13-year-
old Leroy, a son of the late Geo. Sim
mons, who lives on the mountain near
Little Clear creek, but the item did not
appear in print. 1 have the best of
evidence that the following is a true
story, and If any one disputes it they
may consult Mr.. Jas. Garner, who is
an uncle Of the boy. At the first hunt
he killed eight large rattlesnakes under
one fiat rock, and on three subsequent
occasions he killed eight others within
hundred yards Of the same place and
within two or three weeks Of time
These were all full-grown snakes and
filled with young, which, when taken
from the dead bodies of the old ones,
could crawl about and lick out their
tongues in perfect snake fashion. This
boy and his mother opened one of the
old ones and counted twenty-five young
ones and still there were more, 80 they
quit counting. 1t is thought the whole
sixteen old ones would have averaged
at least rs young ones apiece as they all
appeared to be equally large and full
Three hundred rattlers killed Surely
that boy should have a pension. Mr.
A. Garner also killed a large one in q
meadow belonging to Mr.. J. Garner.
The new school building will soon be
completed.
