:. What a contrast is presented be-
tween this ancient warrant, brow wn
endsfAded with age with the type
prtated documents of the present
dE3.. Information concerning the
parties named in the. warrant is very
scant and at best is hardly more than
conjecture. To DIR. J.T. Cooley we
are indebted most for the sketches
OF the parties.
Little can be found about Johh
Perry accept that he was one of the
Hrst Justices of the Pence of this
county. Oliver Wynn is supposed to
be an ancestor of the families OF that
name now residing in Burke's Gar
den and vicinity.
PAter and Gabriel Rife, brothers,
at the time of the warrant were liy-
ing near what is now Grafton. The
former was n Riiwright by trade and
later, in about l845, moved TO the
Southeastern part of the county. in
what is now Wythe county. At that
time Tazewell comprised number
of the nov adjoining counties.
David Waggonec owned a farm
of several thousand acres near
where Floyd Gillespie now resides.
In later years he Is eported to have
lost bis estate through some deal to
bwhich he was a party.

The ninth annual commencement of
the Denison Normal and Business Col

young graduates and their friends
The exercises closed last night with the
presentation of diplomas and an inter-
esting lecture by DR.. j. w. Bissell of
Charles City.
The Baptist church, where the exer-
cises were held, was we'll filled and
handsomely decorated ard the gradu-
ating class made fine appearance of
stalwart and intelligent young man
hood and womanhood
The exercises of the evening opened
with beautiful solo by Miss Sewell,
20. Loving Heart" Rev. A. G. Mar
tyn pronounced the simple but impress
sive words of invocation and then DR..
Bissell, the lecturer of the evening, was
introduced. DR.. Bissell gave most
entertaining account of his personal OBJ
ssrvations in the land of the pyramids
He spoke of Alexandria and Cairo, of
the Mohammedans, the dervishes. the
wonderful Nile, the pyramids and the
Spinx and the customs of the people
The lecture was filled with good
thought, quiet philosophy and we'll
stocked with anecdotes and stories
which served to provoke much mirth
DIR. Bissel proved an interesting and in
structive lecturer and he made his sub
ject serve to introduce many ideas of
value to the young students who were
about to step out of college life.
A beautiful solo, ''The Cradle Song, -
by Ries was rendered by Mrs H. A
Boyle and then came the business part
Of the program, the symbol Of all that
the students had been striving--the
presentation of diplomas
This part of the program had been
happily given to the charge of Mr.. j. B
Romans, whose interest III the college
has been unhagging from its incipiency
MIR. Romans spoke with earnestness and
feeling. He spoke of the interest the
city took in the college and the welfare
of its graduates; he gave some excel
ient advice to the young people and
told them that the problems they woulc
have to solve in life were after all bu'
repetitions on larger scale of the pro
blems they had faced in college work

EDITOR NEws-I receive the
"News" usually on Saturday OF

come, about like getting letter
from home. My wife and myself
were raised in Fulton county, but
we have been in Texas The most
of the time for the past fifteen
years. We visit our native coun.
tv every four or five years so
you see that we still feel interest
ed in our old home. We especial
ly enjoy the letters Of Editor Bar
ron, Theodore j. Thompson, and
others. e. II. Austin's letter
Fl ON Minnesota would suit very
well for a description Of like con
ditions in Texas. BY the way,
Editor Barron said in one of his
letters that he would write an ac-
count of the only fight in Fulton
county during the Civil War. 1,
for one, would like very much to
read his account of it.
Several years rgo while in con
versation with a man from Den.
ton, Tex, in mentioning the fact
that [ was native of Fulton coun.
ty, Pa, this man said that he had
been in Fulton county during the
war, and had been especially at.
tracted by the beauty of the val
ley that McConnellsbul g was To-
Gated in, and he gave a good de
scription of it, too.

HEAVY THUNDER STORMS.
Alfred Peck's Barn Burned, and
Horse Killed for Job Truax.

u I1OTSe hilieu IOr JOD lruax.
A heavy thunder storm, accom-
panied by strong wind passed ov-
er the lower end of the county
Saturday evening, doing much
damage to property. The almost
new bank barn of Alfred Peck of
Belfast township, was struck by
lightning and almost instantly
the whole building was envelope d
in flames. His hay and grain
were entirely destroyed together
with some farming implements,
harness, &c. The loss, we under
stand, is partially covered by in
SUI ance.
A few minutes before the barn
was struck, a valuable mare be-
longing to Mr.. Job Truax who
owns an adjoining farm was
struck dead in the pasture field.
