A Distressing Death.

Our community was shocked last
Saturday afternoon by the distressing
death of J. Robert Lackey, son of Mr.
James II. Lackey of Timber Ridge, a
pupil in the Lexington public school, He
had just completed his examinations at
school and looked forward with pleasure
to his vacation to be spent at his home in
the country. lie was in his fourteenth
year and was boy OF engaging manners.
For the past few months he had been
troubled with an affection Of the throat,
and 1t was thought that surgical opera
ton would bring relief. Hewas anxious
to have the operation performed, and
after the close Of school Saturday,
accompanied by his father, he went to
the Lexington Hospital for treatment Tor
the removal of the tonsils. At the COM
pletion of the operation, while under the
influence ofchloroform, respiration.ceased
Proper restoratives were Immediately
applied by the physicians, but thepatient
did not respond to the treatment, and he
passed away before regaining conscious
ness.
According to medical authority, death
under the circumstances OF such an
operation is extremely rare, occurring
only once in from three to five thousand
cases. Although the Lexington Hospital
was established here more than six
months ago, and nearly fifty patients
have been operated on, some very difficult
cases, only two fatalities have occurred.
Theremains were taken Sunday morning
to Timber Ridge for burial. The funeral
services were conducted in the Pressy-
terrain church at that place by Rev. Dr.
Whaling of Lexington, who was assisted
by Rev. d. p. Neill Of Timber Ridge
Interment was made in the nearby
cemetery.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the teacher and pupils of the sixth
grade, Of which grade Robert was
pupil, and from which his examinations
entitled him to promotion to the seventh
grade;
With hearts deeply moved with sad
ness by the sudden aud distressing provi
dence which has removed from our
midst our friend and schoOlmate, Robert
Lackey. we the teacher and pupils of
the sixth grade, and principal OF the
school, pass the following resolutions;
w, sorrow with feeling OF deep per
sonal grief at the removal Of one OF our
number who had been so closely and 50
pleasantly associated with u.s. Robert
had greatly endeared himself to us by
his winning disposition, by his manly
bearing, and by his noble qualities OF
character. His vacant place makes us
sad today, and we shall miss him greatly
I'm the next grade, still we feel sure that
the Master had in store for our boy q
more glorious promotion.
To the stricken and Borrowing family,
we each one and as a class wish to express
our warm affection for the dear one taken
from them, with assurances of our most
heartfelt sympathy for themin their great
affliction.
