buried, on Saturday, the 3rd day Of
July, 1897, for the purpose of erecting

Their, to ascertain who and how many
her descendants are. The monument
will be on the ground by the time des-
ignated.
Grandma Polly, who died some years
ago and whose maiden name was AL
derson, was one of the first and best of
the pioneers of this State, and deserves
from the people of the State the best
and most lasting memorial that can be
bestowed. At one time she saved the
fort at Lewisburg from capture and its
inhabitants from massacre by the In
dams by her tact, bravery and endur-
anCc.
Nearly all the McClung, Odell, Evans,
Deitz and Halstead generations of to.
day in this part of the State can trace
their lineage back to Grandma Polly.
Arrangements are being made to
have a history of her life prepared and
published and also to have 900 photo
graphs, taken from a tIntype picture of
hers, for distribution on that day,

NJ. ERSKINE MILLER.

This gentleman, who was well known
III this county and whose mother was a
native of Monroe county, died of con-
sumption, i'll Redlands, California, on
Sunday evening, the 9th inst. He left
his home i'm Staunton, Va, on the 3Oth
Of January last for California in the
hope that that salubrious and mild eli
mate would restore Ills health, but his
hopes and those of his relatives and
friends were not realized and the end
came rs above stated. He was 54 years
old OH the 10th of February last, and
was born in Huntsville, Alabama, his
mother being Margaret Erskine, daugh-
ter OF Michael Erskine, formerly of
Monroe county. He married Miss
Harriette Echois. daughter of Gen.
John Echols, and cousin of our towns
man, John J. Echols. His remains will
be brought to Staunton for interment,
and will probably arrive there Saturday
or Sunday.
On Sunday night, the 9Th inst, death
claimed and took one of our fairest and
most promising flowers-little CORA
| HANsBARGER, the l2-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. II. +. and Mrs. Ella Hans
barger, who live near Lewisburg.-
Cora was just budding into young wo-
manhood-pretty, smart and a general
favorite with her schoolmates at the
| Lewisburg Graded School and the Lew
isburg Female Institute-both of which
schools she had attended-and had en-
deared herself to many hearts, which
was touchingly shown at her funeral
Tuesday morning by the lavish display
Of lovely flowers, which literally COW
cred her grave. Her death was caused
by pneumonia. Her grief-stricken pa
rents are not alone in their grief-the
whole community grieves with them
Funeral services were conducted Tues
day morning in the Presbyterian Church
by Rev. VIM. McC. White.
Mr.. EUGENE FARRELL, a valuable
and respectable citizen of Williamsburg
district, died on Saturday last, the 5th
inst, aged 65 years. Mr.. Farrell was
not born with the traditional gold spoon
in his mouth, but began his career with
nothing but his two willing hands, and
by industry and frugality acquired a
competency.

AT Urbana, Ohio, on Friday last,
militia fired upon a mob which was
bent on lynching Charles Mitchell,
colored, for an assault on Mrs. Eliza
Gaumer. Two were killed and nine
were wounded. The mob made a
later attack on the Jail and lynched
Mitchell. The assault on Mrs. Gau-
mer was peculiarly atrocious one,
and the exasperated citizens proved
that human nature is the same
north, south, east and west - in
wreaking summary punishment
upon such fiends. The lynching, ii
is said, may enbarrass President
Mckinley when the committee OF
the Colored Protective Association
calls upon him. That body, when
it was brought into existence
adopted resolutions denouucing the
Virginia and other lynchings, and
appointed a committee to wait upon
the Chief Magistrate.
