AN Excellent Man Dies.

Mr.. John Thompson Smith, oneof Taze-
wells worthiest citizens, died at his home,
in Thompson Valley, on last
Sunday morning. He had been in
bad health for some time, and his friends
and relatives had been very solicitous about
his condition. We had only enjoyed a
slight acquaintance with the deceased ,since
we became resident of the county, but
from the opinions of his acquaintance and
neighbors, which-we have heard frequently
expressed, Mr.. Smith was man of ster-
ling character aud an excellent citizen. The
deceased leaves wife, and two daughters,
aged about 10 and u years, respectively.
He was member of the Presbyterian
Church and held in great esteem by his
brethren. On Sunday afternoon funeral
services were held at the home of the de-
ceased, conducted by Rev. Thomas Now
bray, which services were attended by a
large crowd of relatives and friends. At
the conclusion of the services at the
house the remains were buried in the
family burial ground located on the home
farm.

THE PUGILISTIC BATTLE.
FitzsimmOns Wins in Hard Fought Bat
tie of Fourteen Rounds.
BOTH MEN BADLY BATTERED.
FitzSimmOns Wins Large Money and is
the Worlds Champion.

From telegram received here last night
it seems that Fitzsimmons knocked Cor
bett out in the great fstic battle that
came off at Carson, Nevada, on yesterday.
Up to the eighth round, the last we heard,
Corbett had decidedly the best of the
fight, Notwithstanding the fact that Fitz-
simmons had already struck Corbett a
foul blow. Ftzsimmons at that time was
badly punished, and was bleeding freely,
and Corbett was regarded as sure winner.
What may have transplred in later rounds
we are not informed A very slight thing
sometimes turns the tide of battle. Itmay
be that Fitzsimmons got in one of his ac-
cidental blows, for which he is notorously
lucky, or that Corbett got careless. There
have been conflicting reports, but we sup
pose there is no doubt that the battle was
won by the Australian, who will now stand
as champion pugilist of the world, as we'll
as the winner of the biggest stakes ever
gained in the prize ring.

Eagles Trapped.

For some weeks eagles have been seen
on the mountain just south of town, and
recently they had1been killing some Of the
young lambs of Col. A. ]. May and Mr.. ii.
w. Steele. Col May has made up his
mind to get rid of the troublesome birds
He made numerous efforts TO get a shot at
them, but failed to do so. As a last resort
he went to trapping and good results have
followed. He set two steel traps last Fri
day and tied q rooster close to them as a
bait to attract the eagles. On Saturday
morning he found the rooster killed and
half eaten up, but no eagles. He placed
the carcass of the rooster between the two
traps, aud on Sunday morning found a
young grey eagle in each Of the traps. The
Col. thought he would try to bring the
birds to town alive, but while attempting
to handle one of them it siezed his hands
with its talons and drove its claws TO the
bone in the Colonel's hand. He killed the
eagles Immediately and brought their dead
bodies to his Office, where the heads and
claws of the birds are now shown to his
friends. Col. May has twenty-five steel
traps out now, properly baited, as it is un-
derstood several more eagles are i'll the
same vicinity.

Services For The Odd Fellows

On last Sunday Rev. j. N. Harman
preached a sermon in the Christian Church
to the members Of Bluegrass Lodge No. l42,
LOOT. A large portion of the member
ship of the Lodge was present, having
formed at the Lodge room and marched to
the church in body. The services were
very interesting and instructive. Rev.
Ilarman selected as the subject for his dis
course the narrative of the man who
travelled from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell
among thieves and robbers, was neglected
by Priest and Leyite, but kindly cared for
by the good Samaritan. The subject was
well handled and gave much pleasure to
the members of the order as well as the
general congregation that filled the house.
The services we're concluded by cele-
brating the Lords Supper.
