We have considerable sickness in this
neighborhood. Mrs. Maggie Kelly is
lying dangerously i'll. Messrs. II. w.
Burgess, j. B. Kennison and Marshall
Peyatt are slowly recovering. Capt. w.
l.. Mcneil still suffers great deal from
indigestion and heart trouble, but not
wlthstanding the Captains indisposi-
ton his mind is remarkably clear, and
his buoyancy of spirits and fondness
for n CnpH inlya Inc oEor
of him as ever.
1t is with pain that we announce the
death OF Mrs. Virginia Peyatt, who
died at her residence here on last Fri
day morning, the Sth int, in the 10th
year of her age. Although she had
been in feeble health for long time her
death. preceded as it was by only three
days sickness, was shock to the COM
munity. She was greatly attached to
her husband, Mr.. Marshall Peyatt,
whose snowy locks and totterlng frame
remind us that he must soon join her IN
the great beyond. Her married life
covers period of 81 years, and during
that time she and her husband have |
lived most happily. In fact more af-
fectionate couple never lived. She had |
been member of the NJ. +. Church, |
South, for many years, and was good |
woman, clrcumspect in all the walks of |
life and highly esteemed by all who |
knew her. Three children-Mrs. Liz
zie Isbell, of this place, and VIM. and |
Lee Peyatt, of Kansas-survive her,
Her remains, followed by large con-
course of sorrowlng friends and rela-
tives, were inferred with impressive
ceremonies in the Oak GROVE cemetery
near here on last Saturday, the 9th inst
Peace to her ashes.
Coal has been discovered on the land |
of Margaret Renick, colored, who lives
about miles from here on the Green
brier river. The outcroppings indicate
good coal and vein of considerable |
thickness. If the coal is good and |
plentiful, it will pay the parties who
own it to develop it, as the people of
our town and surrounding country who |
get their coal from points so remote,
and of such poor quality. would con-
sumo large quantities of it. The spot |
where the coal is found is more invlt-
ing to the lover Of natures freaks than
to the miner, but it can be easily gotten
out.
