A Vision.

THE death of little Omie, 3-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Marion G..
Ballard, occurred at their home near
Lindside, Monroe county. on Sunday
night, Jan. 18th, 1896, after an illness
of several weeks.
The Waterman says "Mr. Ballard
declares that he was warned of the
death OF his little daughter in a very
peculiar manner. At late hour on
the night before she died he was sit
ting in the room where she lay. His
wife and the rest Of the household were
asleep and he alone was awake. Sud-
denly the door opened and two great
white hands appeared and beckoned to-
ward his little daughter who was lying
on the bed. He got up and closed the
door. Presently it opened again and a
second time the reckoning hands APP
peared. He then opened the door and
went out into the hall and from thence
out of doors, but could see or hear
nothing more. When his wife awoke
he told her that it was useless to hope
for their little girls recovery, as he had
been warned that she must die. At
exactly the same hour the next night
the little ones death occurred. Mr..
Ballard is not of the nervous or super
stitious sort, and is evidently convinced
that this vision actually appeared to
him. -

Tho HouNRnir Ten.

A novel and artistic affair was the
Souvenir Tea held at the home of Mrs.
j. w. Mathews on Friday evening last.
The house was illuminated, the rooms
handsomely decorated, and the hostess,
assisted by several ladies, received her
guests in the parlor, greeting all, both
young and old, who filled her parlors
and overlooked the halls, with a gra-
cious cordially.
a delightful supper was served in the
dining-room beyond, the guests being
waited upon by four charming young
ladies, the Misses Mary Eliza, Josie,
Mary Miller and Dottie Mathews,
each presiding at a tete-d-tete table.
and making quartette of most assidu-
GUS and dainty attendants.
But the chief attraction of the even
ing was the distribution of the souve-
Mrs, each guest present selecting one
from the trays laden with mysterious
looking packages closely enveloped in
brown paper. Many of these souvenirs
were handsome, others unique, whilst
and all showed good taste in design and
selection. There was much excite
ment in opening the packages, and
great good humor displayed in the ex-
change of gifts between the young la
dies and gentlemen-where by chance a
razor strap fell to the former or dolly
to the latter, and vice versa.
Twenty-seven dollars was taken in by
the treasurer, Master Hugh Mathews,
which in turn was handed over to the
Ladies' Aid Society for the purchase of
carpet for the Presbyterian church in
this place.

Death or Col. VIM. p. rhomp.on.

On Monday last Mrs. Robt. McChes-
ney of our town received telegram
announcing the death Of her brOther-ln-
law, Col. VIM. Z. Thompson, which oc-
Cured at his home in New York that
day. From the Baltimore Sun we learn
that Col. Thompson contracted the dis
ease (pneumonia) which resulted in his
death, about ten days ago in this State,
while inspecting railroad which he
had acquired here. He was in Balti-
timore last Thursday on financial mat
tiers, and after he had transacted his
business he started for New York in a
private car placed at his disposal by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co. Be-
fore he arrived at his destination his
illness had assumed an alarming form,
and DR.. Loomis was telegraphed for
and met the patient at jersey City
Colonel Thompson was removed to his
home in state of collapse. He was
surrounded at his death by his wife,
daughters and sons, Levi S. and VIM
Z. Thompson, jr. The funeral will
take place to-day at Wheeling.
Col. VIM. z. Thompson was son of
the late Judge George w. Thompson,
of Wheeling, this State. and was born
there in 1882. He began the practice
oil law at Fairmont, but at the break
ing out of the civil war he entered the
Confederate army, where he served four
years, returning with the rank of Colo
mel. He then located in Parkersburg,
where he went into the oil-refining
business with eX-U. S. Senator John
ston N. Camden. When the concern
was merged into the Standard Oil Co.
Thompson went to Cleveland as an off,
cial of the Standard Oil Co., and on the
formation of the National Lead Co. re-
moved to New York to become presi-
dent of that organization. He WAS in
timately associated with ex-senator
Camden in the development of railroad
and other enterprises in West Virginia.
Col. Thompson's fortune is estimated
at S20,OO0,000. He married Miss Lima
Moffett, sister of Capt. G. II. Moffett
and of Mrs. Robt. McChesney of Lew
isburg.
