Death Of Mr.. Noel.

Another is stricken from the ever
le. sening roll Of Farmvlle's Oldest
citizens.
John Richard Noel died at the Viz
einia Hospital, Richmond, on Thurs
dav afternoon, December 9Th, at 4;l5
o'clock, i'm his siXty-ninth year OF
age. The deceased was one of Farm
yille's best known citizens, having
come here from buckingham many
wears ago in which county he was
born. With the hope Of at least
martial recovery Of his wonted health
and strength, Mr.. Noel was taken to
Richmond to be operated upon for
complicated trouble, but his condition
was such that he could not Withstand
the shock and death quickly ensued.
Mr.. Noel was a good man, and this
being written Of him in truth, no
higher tribute could We pay. A de-
voted husband, indulgent father, to
his friends the kindliest Of fellowship,
be will be missed from the home and
the everyday walks Of life.
Besides his good wife he leayes
three daughters and six sons TO whom
we tender our heartfelt sympathy.
The funeral too place Saturday morn
ing at half-after 10 o'clock from the
residence, conducted by his pastor,
Rev. If. NJ. Fugate, Of the Famville
Baptist Church.

them. and then distributed theiil
among the homes Of the city, TO SICK
and poor. high and low alike, with the
request that they be cared for, made 10
bloom out in beauty, and placed ID
conspicuous places about the homes
fronting the streets. This was splen-

hone of encouraging the ladies' oil
Farmville to go and do likewise. MOI
that we are to have an Exposition,
but we do have a town, already OF
goodIy appearance, and it should be
our pleasure to beautify and adorn H.
This is one step towards II and long
one. Flowers in front Of each oil

rare beauty, and we might soon oe
known as the flower town Of Virginia
This would induce others to come ana
