COL. LYING BILL SAW
HALLEYS COMET IN 1885

In all the world there is but mere
handful of people who witnessed the
visit of Halley's comet In 1885, or who
is they did witness IL were old enough
to retain a knowledge OF the event
I'm their memory; but Bluefield claims
the distinction of having a man who
not only saw and remembers the Wis
itor from the outer rim OF celestial
space but who according to his own
S tatement-and IL he has ever told
tn g truth il has not been recorded
aalyinst him-saw the stars fall in
1883. This man is Col. Lying Bill
Thompson, who very solemnly de-
claFes that he has turned into his
one hundred and twenty-eighth year,
and was therefore past fifty when
Mr.. Halley's comet last honored this
part OF the universe with visit.
On both occasions Col. Thompson
says he was residing at Peterstown.
a border burg-and it is still on the
map-on the line between Monroe
county, w Va. and Giles county, Va.
When the meteoric shower occurred,
large bunc hes of CONSERVATION broke
over the p eople. They thought sure
ly that time was ceasing, that the
cloudcapt towers, the gorgeous pal
aces and yea the great globe itself
would dissolve and like the fabric of
an insubstantial pageant faded leave
not rack behind. (The Colonel was
quoting Shakespeare from memory
and he is not certain that the words
all jibe.) One circumstance he recalls
more distinctly than any OF the 9th
ers for the reason that he happened
to be at the home of Hugh Tiffany,
a saddler, shoe maker and a general
monger in leath er when the fiery dis
play of 1888 occurred. Col. Thomp-
son says:
"Old man Tiffany was making a
pair of leather breaches for his son

adjoining chair masticating the cot.

when Mrs. Tiffany who was outside

other female duty, rushed into the

ed away and refused TO pray. The
pants were finished before daybreak,
and 1t is hardly necessary to state
that the world did not come to an
end"
Regarding the comet of HALEY, Col.
Thompson's recollection is equally
vivid, and his observations perhaps
possess some scientific value. He
says:
"The people far and near were awe
struck over the wonderful appearance
and while to them 1t did not even
dimly foreshadow the end OF the
world as II does to the Sunday sup
plement folk today, 1t portended fam
inc, pestilence, sword and moving in
cidents by food and field. They
thought the comet was mixing bad
medicine for them, and many religl.
Gus meetings were held to circum-
vent the imaginary evils"
Col. Thompson very carefully noted
the effect of the passage OF the earth
through the comets tail upon mankind
and while the apparatus he used for
determining results was more or less
crude, his determinations will be OF
interest to the scientists of today
Regarding this he says:
When the tail OF the fiery visitor
swished the earth-it did. did 1t not
