Few of our old people retain their
memory like Rev. Sam'l Black. Any
thing from his boyhoOd days up until
the late war IS fresh in his mind. lie
delights in reviewing the past.
Fire has been raging in the woods in
different places in these parts and also
in Fayette county. Mr.. John Kenney s
barn, with hay, some grain, and farm
implements, were destroyed by the fire
| last week.
A sad accident occurred on the 10th
instant, in which l2-year-old son of
Charles GilkesOn, Of Fayette county
| lost his life instantly. The boy and a
larger brother were standing at bu.
reau III which their father had placed I.
loaded revolver the night before. The
| large boy taking the revolver from the
drawer accidentally let it go off, shoot.
ing his little brother in the breast near
the heart. The boy ran into the hall
meeting his father, who took him up
and laid him on the bed. In fifteen
minutes the little fellow was dead. 1t
Is hard to convince people that our boys
and homes are not protected by the re.
volver.
On the 18th instant Ada Uarrah, lit.
tie daughter of G.. NJ. Harrah, was seen
| by Jim Quick to have about SIS in
change at the store of Mr.. Terrell ut
| Clintonville. When Miss Uarrah left
for home Quick followed her and asked
her to give him part of the money, and
being refused lie then took the money
and left. Two men were close by
The little girl told them of the robbery
and described Quick, showing them the
direction he went. The men took the
rounds on Quick and soon overhauled
him and turned him over to Constable
Otie hickman. Squire Homer Nc.
Chung, after hearing the evidence, sent
him to Jail to await the action of the

Our Gem esery.
Greenbrier Independent:

Editor Greenbrier Independent:
Will you kindly allow me Though
your paper to call the attention of the
community, town and county, to the
condition Of our cemetery? Some pOr-
tions of it are kept in neat order by
friends and relatives of the departed
but much of it is a wilderness of giant
weeds, and tangled, matted vines and
underground, through which it is al
most impossible to walk i'm order to
reach the graves Of our friends. Many
of us found it so in attending recent
burials. 1t is disgrace to our com
munity. What will strangers, who
come from well kept cemeteries, think
when they go to visit our old church
and see how we neglect our dead p
What sort of people will they think we
are? How can people so neglect the
graves Of those who were once so near
and dear to them ? How would any of us
like to think Of our own graves being
thus neglected Many are lying there
who have no friends here and who have
been long since forgotten but 1t is not
their graves alone who are thus uncared
for, but those Of persons who have liv.
ing here near and dear ones. But for
the sake of humanity and tire reputa-
tion of the place, the graves Of the
strangers and the forgotten ought to be
cared for. Some few of them have
been, and that by persons who never
knew them. What can be done Can
you not call upon all, in town and coun.
try, for all are alike interested,) to
meet there and make ageneral cleaning
out, or contribute means to have some
one to do it, and appoint some one to
superintend, who will not allow shrub.
berry to be dug up and thrown away,
which has been planted by loving hands
at the graves of their lowed one, as has
been done.
