Famous Libby Prison, which
was picked up bodily from its
historic site at Richmond, Va,
and waited to Chicago as an
attraction at the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition, bids fair to be
lost to antiquarians. Its present
site is more valuable for ware
house than for exhibition pur-
poses, and the old Confederate
Jail may be turned to such prosaic
use; the Appromattox table and
other war relics will be sent to
Washington, D. c. America may
thus lose a notable landmark OF
the civil war.

A SUDDEN DEATH.

The funeral of Mrs. Robert @. Burke,
who died very suddenly at his resi-
dence, 1919 Buchanan Street, Monday
night, the 18th insts at 10 80 O'Clock,
took place at the First Baptist Church
of which he was member. Wednes-
day evening last, at O'Clock.
He was a member of Messiah Club.
Number L. The remains we're escort
ed from his late residence TO the
church by the Messiah Club, which
turned out in full, also by commit
tee from the Lincoln Club, Number /,
which was out in respect to the memo
ry Of the deceased. After a pathetic
sermon by Rev James II. Holmes, the
funeralsprocession headed by the Bat
talon Band proceeded to the Mechan-
les Cemetary, where the remains were
inferred.
He leaves two brothers, who are
Messrs, George E and j. H. Burke. a
sister, Miss Sarah E. Burke and many
other relatives.

Rev. Butler of Norfolk.

We present our readers with an ex-
cellent portrait OF Rev. J . b. K. But
Ter. pastor of the Queen Street Baptist
Church, who produced such a sensa-
ton here recently by his magnificent
sermons.
He preached twice at the Second
Baptist Church, Rev. u ID. Lewis, pas
tor His powers as a pulpit orator were
fully demonstrated. his graceful de-
livery, rhythmic utterances. poetic quo
tations and scenic metaphors won the
hearts of his hearers andsprodueeo
most favorable Impression on those
who heard him.
At the Fourth Baptist Church, Rev
Evans Payne, pastor, he was equally
as happy in his oratorical productions
He W as importuned to stay longer, but
pressing engagements caused him to
deliver but one other sermon in this
community.
Rev. Butler is decidedly humorous
in his manner, and no one enjoys q
hearty laugh better than he.

In my letter Of July Bird spoke of
the progress made here by some of
our people, and among the many 9TH
ers 1 wish to speak especially of MI.
Zachariah Copeland, the popular I'M
dertaker. He commenced business in
October, 1896, with but five collins,
and with a strict study of economy ,
backed up with push, pluck and per-
severance he carries to-day $500
stock Of collins and caskets. He has
also purchased a wagon, buggy and
horse; and he also has a $1,000 hearse
on the way. Mr.. Copeland's business
is located at 1912 County street, and
has his share of work among our peo-
pie.
Here is another commendable effort
we wish to speak OF. fhe Rescue Fire

year of our Lord, 1889, with ten or
twelve men as bucket brigade and

that they would be more successful

served them very faithful for five or
six years and now they have purchas-
ed tine two horse steam engine with

have made quite a success within the
past eight. Though they have had
quite an uphill pull, and I must say
that when that company comes out on
the street they make as fine appear
ance as any company in the state
white or black; and think with the
present officers it will: be compelled to
grow for they are men of push and
pluck.
