Mr.. Lyon was for several years the
proprietor Of the Randolph Hotel, and
was popular with every one on account
Of his urbane manner and sympathetic
disposition. He leaves widow and
ten children.
1t had been evident for some time
past to those who were thrown in init
mate and daily association with our
departed brother that his health was
far from good, that to do his allotted
task he had to make brave and con-
slant fight against the entertainments
Of disease
Reared on a farm, fond of outdoor
sports he could not love the last work
Of his life, and yet he did 1t uncom-
plainingly and well.
Ofvigorous physique he was yet as
gentle as woman, and we cannot re-
call that he ever harshly criticized any
one. We will all miss his familiar
figure and open face from our streets
and there are some to whom life will be
less cheerful and bright now that their
congenisl companion is gone.
Into the sacred precinct Of the home
we enter with our tenderest sympa-
thies, and may the God Of the widow
and the Father OF the fatherless be
theirs to comfort, sustain and sanctify'
The funeral took place Tuesday after
noon at o'clock from the Baptist

consistent member. Rev. DR.. Potts,

Now that the hunting season has be-

baying Of hounds and the shouts Of
boys in their rambles after "Brer'
coon, 'possum and fox" may be heard
on almost every clear night far into the
wee small hours. The crop Of grapes
aud persimmons is very abundant
and the knowing ones say that
the game fatten on these delicacies.
We are very agreeably disappointed
that the frost which we have been ex-
pecting for several days past hasn't APP
peared The tobacco is safely housed,
and next thing on the programme is
seeding wheat; the corn remains I'M
gathered yet.
1t is rather unusual to see fruit trees
blooming in October, but there are

this fact some predict very hard win

A BIooiy Fight.

RI. Orange and T. f. Noel had an
alteration on Main street Sunday
night Just at the church-going hour.
1t appears that they quarrelled
considerably before any blows were
passed aud had reached Chappehs
store when for the second time Noel,
who Is the more powerful Of the two
knocked Orange down and got upon
him. Before Noel could fasten his
arms Orange did quick and dangerous
work with a small pocket knife which
he had in hand before being struck
He iabbed the blade in Noel's face and
neck infllcting wounds which were
,rightful to behold. One cut was across
the top Of an eye, another very neal
the temple artery and still another in
close touch with the jugular vein. The
two beligerants were separated by
Messrs. Henry Lindsey and {. e. Dill
Ion, and Orange was taken charge o
while DR.. Kearney dressed the wounds
/ Of Noel.
The two men were arrested and re-
cognized to appear in court the follow
ing morning, when upon the testimony
each was fined $40 and costs.
Noel appealed from the Justices de
cIsion to the county court, which wa
granted.

Ciflzen ComnIaIns.


Hampden-Sidney, Va, Oct. IL.
Editor Hraid:-I wish to call at
tention, through the columns Of your
paper, to the injustice recently impos-
ed upon the patrons Of school No. .,
Farmville district, Prince Edward
county, Va, which should arouse the
indignation Of all the best thinking, in
telligent people throughout our coun-
try.
In our neighborhood are more than
20 bright-faced, promising young boys
and girls, Of whom, some day, we all
may be proud Of that may yet be found
among the foremost Of Americas most
brilliant "stars.n We, as their parents,
have not the money and means to give
these boys and girls ofours the advantage
Of a high.school and college education.
Our only hope was in having a little
school in our neighborhood, where we
could have them taught without incur
ing the necessary expense Of sending
them of to school. Even this scant
privilege has been deprived US by the
Trustees Of our district after repeatedly
petitioning them to give us a school,
To consummate eirunkind, unchari-
table purpose, they have taken our
little school house, formally built by
the district for our use, and turned same
over to the negroes, thereby giving them
majority Of schools in the district
and a supremacy oyer US white citi-
zens. This is a base insult they have
heaped upon US. A blot Of disgrace
irradicable they have put on US. They
not only debar us from the public school
privilege, but they take our little
school-house and give the blacks where
we have been wont to assemble oul
little children from Sunday to Sunday
in the capacity Of Sabbath school, ii
being our only means Of teaching then
how to read under the present condi
ton Of affairs.
How long will we as a community b.
subjected to such injustice on the par
Of our Trustees and Superintendent
lOfa truth they are showing themselve
up to the people Of our country as be
ing very unkind and uncharitable
We ask them to put themselves in on
places and each see for himself
Patron Of School.
