OBITUARY.
A Sad Death.

Thomas Glover, Of Rockingham County
died in our Jail last Thursday night. HI
was there awaiting indictment on the
charge of horse stealing. He was old ant
a stranger here. He was away from al
friends and kindred. When he was
young man, he volunteered as a soldier
became a member of the Stonewal
Brigade, and no one here can say say how
freely, or how often, he risked his lie fol
the cause which he loved. The record oi
the brigade, of which he was member,
will be prepetuated in story and In song.
Eyes will moisten as they rest upon the
history of the gallant conduct and of the
losses which that brigade sustained. This
poor unfortunate, who, orazed by drink,
violated the law, while awaiting trial
and sentence, departed, "unWept, I'M
honored and unsung." There we're no
friends to weep around his grave. 1t
was funeral-without tears. About one
dozen ofour citizens followed his corpse
to the cemetery and, with uncovered
heads, stood around while DR.. C. w.
Cook read the burial service of the Meths-
dist Church.
His case will not be tried hare. He
will appear before tribunal where there
are no prosecutors aud no counsel for
the defence, unless it be He who freely
gave his own life for those who were
worse than this poor victim of sin.

SEVEN FOUNTAINS NEWS.

Mr.. EDITOR.-
We will send you what
news we can gather in this part Of our
great country.
A number of our farmers have COM
menced peeling bark.
Wheat and grass is looking very fine
through here.
There has not been many candidates
thr ugh our little valley yet. Col. J.
Baker and Mir. Cornelius Hickman,
however, have been through this section.
Mr.. A. B. Lichlter, who has been sick
fer the past ten days, is Improving.
Mr.. Jacob Hickman, family Of this
place, but who has for the last ten or
twelve years been living with some of his
children, died near Lebanon church in
this county, few days ago, and was
brought to this place for lnterment on
last Saturday. We did not learn his age
but think he must have been between 10
and sc years old.
On Saturday last while Thomas NJ.
Burk was on his way to Woodstock on
horseback, and Mr.. J. W. Funk with his
team. they saw two bear Cubs a short DIS
lance from the top otthe mountain, They
were quite small aud would not have
weighed over 20 lbs each Both men
were afraid to touch the little fellows for
fear the old mother might be,In calling
distance.
We suppose Noah and Dave Cave, who
have been pseling bark for j. w. Funk
must have seen these cubs, too, as some
one saw them at the same place running
at top speed, and they have not been
back since
John Burner and his hands, who were
pselng bark on the north side of the
mountain for NJ. n. HSttel, must also
have heard of these cubs being at large,
and have been scared ont by them, as
they went home on Thursday night and
have not been back TO work since.
wv. Funk must have caught the bear
cub panic, as he came home on Saturday
evening With part OF bis wagon lost.
Mr.. Editor we think these mountain
neers should not be so easily scared
