NEGRO BOY KILLED.
HaS Gun Accidentally Discharged
 While Out Hunting.

Prattville, Jan. 5.-(special. )-Enoch Ca- pers was a 1s-year-old negro boy living on the Rogers plantation below town. While out hunting last week the dogs engaged in a fight. and he undertook to part them with the end of his shotgun. It appears that he had the gun cooked, and in the tussle with the dogs the gun was accidentally discharged and the whole charge of shot took effect in tho lower part of his abdomen, killing him almost instantly.
 The work of grading the hill leading easterly out of town was commenced this morning. It means the spending of from g, 900 to 32,5Oo on this road in the next few weeks. and the gum Is to be paid by the town, county and citizens who have subscribed for that purpose. This road reaches an elevation of not less than 2s0 feet in a distance of less than two miles. It would seem the people are determined to have getter roads and streets and are willing to pay for them.

The National Business College.

The fifteenth annual commencement
exercises Of the National Business College,
Roanoke, Va, took place June 29th, and
were a credit alike to the faculty and stu'
dents of the institution. Roanoke has every
reason to be proud of this college, which
every year sends out hundreds Of brainy
young men and women we'll equipped to
take places in the business world, and
there is a steady demand for its graduates.
So-called business colleges are as plentiful
as the leaves in Valambrosia but first class
ones are difficult to find. 1t is the good
fortune of Roanoke to possess one of the
best and hence, its success under the
splendid management of Prof. b. Nj.
Coulter and bis corps of capable instruc-
tors.
One. third of the large graduating class
were in positions before commen cement
and il is only question of short time
till all of Al graduates of this year are in
positions. There is not a combined grad.

Dea tn of George L. McCIintOCk.

On last Monday morning at 7:3O o'clock,
after a painful illness Of many months
Mr.. George l.. McClintock died at his
home in Tazewel. He was sixty-five
years old and was born in Bo etourt
county, Va. When he was boy his
father moved to Wythevile, Va. When
the war broke out between the States, Mr.,
McCintock volunteered and entered the
services of the Confederacy as a member
of the "Wythe Grays," and was gallant

Some years ago the deceased moved to
Tazewell, where he lived and died an
honored citizen. He was jealous Mason,
and was a member of Tazewell Lodge, No.
62, of O'Keeffe Royal Arch Chapter and of
Clinch Valley Commandery, X. T. He
is survived by his wife, two sons and four
daughters. We have frequently heard
persons who knew him well declare that
he was brave, honest and truthful. No
more excellent traits can be found than
these in the character of any man.
On Tuesday at IL O'Clock funeral SER
vices were held at the home of the de-
conducted by Rev. Geo. Buston,
assisted by Rev. G. K. Brown. The de-
ceased was member OF the Methodist
church and died with perfect resignation.
At the conclusion Of the services at the
house, Tazewell Lodge took charge of the
remains and conveyed them to the new
cemetery, where they were buried with
full Masonic honors. The following mem
bers of the Lodge acted as pall-besrers:

ties for the accommodation of passengers
and the handling Of freight. From what
we can learn the Improvements will be
made as soon as possible.

About the Orchestra.

MI
On the part of the
Orchestra, as we'll as myself, allow me to
thank you for the kind words spoken in
our behalf in last weeks issue Of your
paper. We very much appreciate your
words of encouragement, aud feel very
grateful to you and all who contributed to
US financially. But unfortunately for us,
OWING to the several failures heretofore to
organize band, the citizens of the town
can not help but feel skeptical about our
success and permanency, and therefore
give sparingly, and we are denied the help
we so much need in the beginning. Owing
TO the fact that We have had to buy bass
violin, violon celia, viola, other instru'
ments and music, our expenses, aside
from rents, music, stands, lamps, and var
ious other hall fixtures, have been heavy;
and now is the time that we so much need
help to meet these demands. After these
debts are paid we will no longer require
help. but be selfsustaining, our small
monthly dues being sufficient to meet all
current expenses. We now have the OPP
portunity that we have not bad BEFORE and
NAV never have again-of having what
no other town, in Virginia that | know oi
has. and that is fine orchestra-one that
the town of Tazewell will be justly proud
of, in k.erirg with the great progress 1t has
made on other lines of improvement Our
instructor, MIR. Quinton, is A. No. l-iulI
of energy and business-a gentleman IN
every respect, whose heart is in his work
and the orchestra is composed OF the
best material to be had, chosen with
view to its permanency-as well as efficiency
for we are here to stay in spite OF all
difficulties that may arise. And if the

Washington, July 7.-Twenty-three
persons were killed and DiDe injured in
head.on collision on the Virginia Midland
division of the Southern Railway at Rock
fish, Va, at II minutes after 3 o'clock
this afternoon. Passenger train No. 80,
leaving Washington at 1l:l5 today for At
lanta, Ca, dashed in to local freight No.
6S, standing on the main line of the road
at that point, wrecking both engines and
the baggage and express cars of No. 35
The baggage car and the second class
passenger coach Immediately following
it telescoped. The coach was occupied
mostly 10y colored people.
1t is estimated here that there were in
all probability 120 passengers on the
train including those from Boston and in
termediate stations.
1t wqs at first reported that Baggage
master Payne Of train No. 80 had met his
death with the wreck. Later reports
however, show that this is incorrect. He
was caught under one of the coaches and
was badly stunned, but later he revived
and probably will recover.
1t is said to be almost certain that Of
those killed nineteen were colored persons,
as the second class coach, which was tel
escoped was occupied almost exclusively
by them.
Later advices from the scene Of the
wreck are that the freight train which was
on the main track had been there for six
minutes longer than the orders directed
when the collision occurred.
