The Sacrificiai of Superficial
Lamb.

Col. VIM. Lamb has been deposed
as the Republican Chairman, and
Park Agnew has been chosen in his
stead
1t will now be in order for the
various newspapers to get in their
puns about tho "Shorn lamb" 1.-THE
lamb with fees rs white as snow"
the heeced lamb, the "lamb like"
Gel, "the soft blea of the lamb
which has been heard In tho land"

while gentle lamb, has been sudden.
ly transformed into fighting old
buck who will butt somebody and
some thing over the fence and out
of the field. But the newspa.
per which tells the facts as they are
will say: Sol. Lamb who left the
Democratic party to seek office has
been disappointed, ard boing in the
way of other political bosses has
been knocked out" They may
further observe that it does not
seem to have been this Lamb who
"went to school one day." as the
other sheep OF the fold are so much
better educated than he. They
know thing or two, he seems to
know nothing. He did not know
the bark of n wolf from the friend.

Shepherd dog, and such mortal ig
norance in Republican politics being
no excuse the Col. was wholly unfit
for the exalted position he held, SO
he had to go. We know not how
this sudden kicking out may effect
Col. Lamb, but we know of no deep
er degradation than TO have fallen
so low as to be unfit to serve the
present Republican party as tho
chairman of the State committee.

sorry examination OF tho book, wo

ASSASSiRATED.
DR.. John n. ca6eN Killed BY a
Tenant.

Danville, Aug. 2S.-Dr. John r.
Cabell, ono of the most prominent
citizens Of this county, was assassi.
mated at his country place, twenty
five miles from tLis city Thursday
night. DR.. Cabe!l left here several
days ago to look after his business
in the Oallands neighborhood. and
the next heard of him was brief
message received that he had been
killed by Edward Hankins. The
facts as learned are these: Hank

farms being unsatisfactory, DIR. Ca
bell had notified Linn of his inten.
ton not to rent him the place anoth.
er year. Hankins had said that he
would not leave.
Before the coroner's jury it was
shown that DR.. Cabell rode up to
the house and while sitting on his
horse asked Hankins when he pro.
posed to move off the place. With
out making any reply, Hankins
seized an axe and struck. ..Cabell over
the head, knocking him f,om the
horse. He then struck the pros
trate man second time with the
axe. Each blow crushed the skull.
Hankins then dragged the body to
and through the house, leaving it in
q back room and laid an empty gun
over it. He then left the house, but
was soon arrested.
Hankins was very drunk when
captured and tells maudlin story,
to the effect that Cabell and two un
known men, attacked him with
knives, that he ran away and on his
return to the house at night found
Cabell's dead body and presumes
the two unknown men killed him.
Hankin's body bears no marks of
the knife, though his clothes were
cut in several places. Tue simple
story is that Hankins wilfully as
sassinated DR.. Cabel, and the proof
that he intended to raise row with
Cabell and kill him lies in the fact
that ms soon as Cabell reached tho
the house ho (Hanklns) nude hi,.
wife leave the house instructiug her
to spend the night with neighbor.
Hankins had had record. In
August 1879, he had difficulty with
James A. Jackson at Callands and
cut Jackson to death. Hankins fed
and was afterward arrested in West
Virginia, brought back here, tried at
Chatham, convicted of murder in
the second degree and served ten
years in the Virginia pentitentiary.
DIR. John Roy CaEell was one of
the best known citizens in Pittsyl
vania and was a brother OF Hon.
George G. Cabell, ex Congressman
from this district. For many years
he WIS practiping physician in the
county and amassed fortune. He
moved to Danville ten years ago.
He was IA years of age.-EX.

A Joyous Occasion.

OA AnS1 4uo5uhy cfouiuB tuo uOule
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Stellar was
opened for the entertainment of a
number of their friends in honor oi
their guests, Miss Walker of Staun
ton, and Miss Effinger of Harrison
burg, who were assisted in receiving
by Misses Henry.
A large part of Tazewell's beauty
and chivalry was gathered there, and
it was true to say that on no similar
occasion has there been experienced
in larger measure the delight of easy
and genial companionship. The
worthy host and good wife omitted
nothing which kindness and tact
could suggest to procure the pleas
ure of any one. The arrangement
OF the rooms was most tasteful and
attractive-fowers being freely used,
conspicuous among which were the
snowy whiteness of. the aster, the
yellow CLEAN of the ever popular
golden rod, and the emerald sheen OF
the graceful and delicate fern.
Many Chinese lanterns shed soft
and mellow light on portico and
lawn. Ice cream, cake and fruits
were served by bevy of little maids
and healths were pledged over
glasses of lemonade; drink which
"cheers and does not inebriate."
The special feature of the evening
was the Flower Puzzle" and the
merriuent waxed riotous while all
puttheir ingenuity to the rack to com
plete the couplets, and persistentTy
coaxed and teased a reluctant muse
to furnish the elusive words, &No
one appeared more solicitous and
earnest in his wooing of the tickle
and inconstant jade than Judge Jack,
son; and the wrinkles in his brow,
and his nervous, anxious air might
we'll be taken as an indication that he
thought the work of reconciling the
discordant statements of clamorous
attorneys mere child's play compared
with the matter that then disquieted
his mind.
On examination of the papers it
was found that, although all bad gen.
orally acquitted themselves with
credit, there were some results that
would hardly rank as "jewels fine
words long which on the stretched
out fore finger of time would spar
kle forever" AS for example, when
certain young limb of the law had
sought to make "tulips" jingle with
"turnips;" or when even his honor,
the Judge, had tried to force "but-
tercups" into accord with "Gough-
nuts.'
The chief prize was tied for by
six, and on the draw fell to Mr.. Lacy
Tynes. 1t was conferred by Prof.
A. d. Savage, of Pennington, Conn.,,
in sparkling and inimitable speech,

to save we'll known damsel from q
humiliation which otherwise would
have overtaken her-a piece of chiv

knights splintered lances for the

Amid such surroundings it was i'm
possible for any person TO miss the
charm of the evening, and we believe
there wns no one present with whom
the hours did not slip by with moth
ing to mark their passage save gay
and mirthful discourse, and the sil
