lures The position Of the negroes is ex-
planned in the circular as follows:
We, the undersigned citizens Of Viz

of the act proposed after all the years of
toll and labor We have spent in helping to
build up the waste places Of the old Com

Therefore We invite at least five persons
from each county in the State TO meet in
conference in the city Of Charlottesville on

confer in regard TO this matter and do
such other things as our interests may ee-

William Penwood, aged As years, a
bricklayer by trade, died yesterday
morning about four o'clock at the res
idence of John F. Tracy, at No. 500
alley B, where he had been boarding
for some time. Mr.. Penwood had been
confined o his home for several
months, quite i'll, but absolutely refus-
ed to see a physician. saying that he
was taking medicine, which he believ-
ed was doing him good. and would
surely cure him. Coroner ]. w. Schultze
was notified of the case yesterday
morning and at once made an investi-
cation, which developed the fact that
the mans death was due to consump-
ton.
The funeral will take place to-day
and will be in charge OF the bricklay-
ers' union, of which Mr.. Penwood was
a member. He had many friends who
will regret to learn of his demise.
