We would like to see the early
closing of our stores. Whilst for
a brief season 1t may seem a hard
ship to some customers, yet all
should view the matterin the light
of fairness, and remember that the
merchant and his clerks are CON
fined to their place of business,
day in and day out, from early
morn through the long weary day,
with scarce opportunity to step
out and breathe the pure air of
heaven The merchants should
come to some understanding in re-
gard to closing their stores. Don't
be afraid you might lose the sale
of some triaIng article. Close
your store and go home and spend
few hours with your family.

A FATAL FOURTH.
-Four Men Drink Cinnamon at a
Lumber Camp.
THREE OF THEM ARD DEAD
AND THE OTHER is DYING.
rhe storekeeper who Sold the
Deadly Decoction Is Un-
der Arrest Details
of the Tragedy.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July Z,
1885, Details have just reached
here of terrible tragedy enacted
at Judge w. S. Lewis lumber and
timber plant near Shelleys in Clay
county, on the 4th of July.
Judge Lewis in his immense
business. employs from 400 to
500 men in getting out timber and
converting it into sawed lumber.
When the 4th came, some of the
fellows wanted to celebrate.
Strangely enough. there seems TO
have been dearth of whiskey in
that section. At least this is be-
lieved to be partly the reason for
what followed.
Four of them, Nick Burgess and
Scott Burgess, brothers, Jeffie
Nichols and man named jackson
went down to a store just above
Shelby to get something to drink.
There they were served with a
concoction composed chiefly of
cinnamon. It is believed that
there was some whiskey in it, and
there may have been other ingre-
gradients. However that may be,
three of the men are now dead and
the fourth will die, if he has not
done so already.
Nick Burgess and Jefie Nichols
died in great agony Monday night,
and were buried yesterday. Scott
Burgess died Tuesday morning
and will be buried to-day. jack
son, when Judge Lewis left Shelby
yesterday. was not expected to
live.
One of the men had spasms and
suffered the most excruciating
agony. The red-hot stuff seems to
have simply burned them to death.
The local physician. DR.. Nutter,
was called in and two other physi-
clans were obtained, but they
could do nothing for the dying
men except relieve their suffering.
Coroner Stephenson, of Clay
Court House, held an inquest over
the remains of the three men who
died. The verdict of the jury
stated that the men came to their
death from drinking Gin aamon.
and placed the blame upon the
storekeeper and his clerk, who
have been arrested and jailed.
Some very important develop
ments are expected.
The two Burgess boys had been
with Judge Lewis for a number of
years. They were originally from
Kanawha county. Nichols was
from Summers county and Jack
