He married at the age of thirty. and

christian gentleman and good hus-
band, beloved alike by neighbors
and friends Like true christians
character, his shone out with great
est briliancy to those who knew him

posed In his last hours, and told his
family not to grieve after him, that
he was safe in the arms of Jesus, and
requested them to meet him in
heaven. His pastor said he had never
Witnessed such q triumphant death.
Though we are filled with sorrow at

Our farmers are behind in their
work owing to so much bad weather.
Sweets are being bedded by our
farmers and they have plenty OF seed
probably too many.
The blizzard of Tuesday caused a
very high and disastrous tide on the
bayside which did much damage.
Muskrat trappers and shooters on
the bayside killed and captured DUR
ing the late storm from 500 to 600
muskrats. One gentleman reported
that he killed seventy.
The principle topic in our town OF
late has been the chicken-poX-small-
pox case, which in the judgment of
our people has been very badly hand
led. The Board of Health doctor de-
layed SO long in reaching this place
that he found the patient out on the
woodpile, and when he gave his de-
olson in the matter, it amounted to
nothing. He supposed it was what
the local doctors said.

RESOLUTIONS orRcspect.
q. OHIO SHREAvEs.

It is an honored task to write this
name of admiring and loving remem-
brance, now intermingled with the
sad realization, that it represents a
pale sleeper in the somber shades OF
death, friend, a brother and highly
esteemed associate in our circle OF
fraternal love. Like the rose bud it
dies ere the leaves unfold. Like q
star it sets ere it's brightness is fully
disclosed. But God has his soul in
keeping and He will come ere long
and wake him up out of his sleep.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to take out of the world the soul
of our brother, Ohio Shreaves, and
whereas such bereavement has de
prived his family of beloved nus
band, dutiful son and the Jr. y. u.
a. NJ. a worthy brother, and whereas
the community loses by his death a
good and upright citizen. Therefore
be it resolved,
/. That we bow in humble sub
mission to the will of God.
Q. That we feel the keen sorrow
which death puts upon us.
8. That we extend to the family
our sympathy in this their hour of
greatest grief.
4. That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the bereayed family, that
they be spread upon the minutes of
the lodge and that they be sent to the
ENTERPRISE and Accomack News for
publication.
s. That on Sunday afternoon,
March 5th, in the Parksley Baptist
church a memorial service be held
in honor of our beloved dead.
6. That the flag be raised at half
mast till the body has been laid to
rest. also during memorial service
and the lodge bell be tolled.

Fire En- Onnncock.

A serious fire occurred on Thursday
morning at 7:3O o'clock in the store.
house occupied by L. l. Winder 8
Co.. grocers, on North street, four
doors from Main. The accident
seemed to have been caused by q
break in the chimney as it passed
through the ceiling of the upper floor
The whole roof and ceiling were
burned.
When the alarm was given the fire
had made great headway-was rush
ing through the roof to height Of
several feet. Soon the hose from tn.
waterworks was turned on and after
hard fight of about an hour they
succeeded in quenching it. Messrs
Winder & Co., moved most of their
stock out in the street, but much OF
it was damaged by water, and other
wise, to the extent of few hundred
dollars. No insurance.
The second floor was occupied as a
dwelling by Mr.. Walker, a workman
in Matthew's mill, and his wife.
Their goods were badly damaged by
water.
The building is the property of
Mrs. Margaret Keaton. Damage
covered by insurance.
The work of the hose was complete
in the protection of the other build
ing's in the close frame range-not a
spark caught elsewhere. 1t is thought
safe to state that but for the water
works the entire range, and other
buildings, about thirty-five in NUM-
Der, would have been destroyed.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
0iinncocE.

Miss Belle Scarburgh has gone tc
Baltimore for visit of several weeks
Mr.. Thos. Watson returned this
week from business trip of some
months in Maryland.
The blizzard brought another very
high tide on Tuesday morning but
there has not been any damage re,
ported.
Mr. Thos. B. Quinby has been on q
business trip of several weeks in Bal
timore and New York, and is now in
the latter city.
Carpenter work on the improve
ments of the NJ. E. Church, South has
suspended for time pending the ar
,srival of more material and another
deposit of coin with which the ma
chinery must be creased.
The Steamer Pocomoke made har-
Dor during the blizzard on Tuesday
night and, consequently. was ten
hours late at her dock here on Wed
nesday, where she remained till next
day. She brought q very heavy
cargo.
There has been for several weeks
in this town a great scarcity of vege-
tables. Cabbage, turnips, parsnips
and the like are in great demand.
The wonder is that some of the
farmers do not prepare to supply the
wants of the town market through
all seasons. The late cold weather
deprived us of turnip green's and kale.
which usually come in from the
country in good quantities at this
time of the season.
After day of beautiful weather on
last Monday, during which much
energy was given to industrial and
business pursuits, we had another
severe change. We were aroused
during the night by a bowling storm.
At daylight we looked out upon a
booming, shrieking western gale with
millions of tiny flakes scudding be-
fore. The thermometer had taken a
sudden dip to eight degrees below the
freezing point. 1t was a forceful re
hinder of few weeks since. 1t
seemed that the posts and trees would
soon again be up to their knees in
snow.
The chief topic for several days has
been the musical entertainment
which were furnished by Leo Wheat
on last Friday and Saturday. They
were well attended by the music
loving public. The performance
upon the piano of that genius in
music were glorious, as generally
termed. The audience was held un,
der the spell as he gave mastery ex-
preston to the various compositions.
His performances gave remarkable
proof that the classics embrace, not
only the difficult compositions, the
very mistaken "fadn of the average
musician, but some of the national
airs of this country and the songs OF
sweet sentiment of easy arrangement.
The last named class appealed flu ly
to the emotions Of the hearers, are
satisfying, have stood the test OF
time-are classic.
