George B. Hurt naad

The community was shocked ON
Wednesday when the news spread
abroad that George b. Hurt was dead.
His death occurred early Wednesday
morning, at his home at Cedar BlugI
OF typhoid fever. He had been sicl,
several weeks, and no strong hopes had
been entertained OF bis recovery from
an early stage OF the disease.
George b Hurt was one of the best
known OF all our younger business men.
To say that he was good man is as
strong language as need be used. He
had the confidence and respect of every
body who knew hiIn-the very soul OF
honor, and as nearly incapable of doing
wrong as 1t was possible for any human
TO be- The worlds loss is great when
such men die.
AT the time of this death he was n
member OF the large milling firm of
Higginbotham 81 Hurt, at Cedar Bluff.
He leaves a wife and one child. two
brothers-John B. and G. G.. and an
aged mother to mourn his death. The
burial took place at Cedar Bluff on
yesterday.

The Show.

The show last Tuesday drew a
crowd from the surrounding commu-
mites. The performance was good
aud enjoyed by respectable crowd
of people. Nothing can be said,
however, in praise of the side shows.
If all reports be true this part of the
show was run by about as big a lot
of thieves as can be found outside of
the penitentiary. 1t is reported that
quite number Of people were rob-
bed of money, and much of the per-
formance was otherwise disgraceful
and immoral. 1t is little singular.
however, that sensible, and other
wise good men, will allow themselves
to be entrapped and gobbled up by
la lot of sharpers and thieves.
