Dr.
GILDERSLEEVE has been very successful within the last week - he has
sold quite a number of the development companies lots.
Owing to an unfortunate accident to her eyes, Miss Lucy HENRY has
been obliged to leave school. She returned home last Saturday.
We are sorry to report the death of "Aunt" Fannie WITTEN, which
occurred at her home at Broad Ford, Smyth County last week. She was the
devoted wife of "Clever Jim" WITTEN, who only proceeded her to
the "world beyond" by a few weeks. She was also the sister of Messrs.
Jesse and John A. McCALL.
Night watchman Jim FUDGE turned in an alarm of fire about 1:30
this morning. It was discovered to be at the residence adjoining the
bowling alley, and most fortunately was gotten under control before any
serious damage was done. It is thought this was an incendiary fire and
the perpetrator attempted the destruction of the town. A more suitable
place could not have been selected for the absolute wreck of the entire
place.
It is with great sorrow that we report the death of this excellent
gentleman at his home in the Cove, which occurred last Friday evening
after a few days illness. Mr. A. WHITE was well known in our
county as the owner of one of the best, if not the best, farm in the
county, which he managed in a skillful and successful manner. His
popularity was well manifested on the day of his funeral by the host of
friends who turned out to pay their last tribute of respect to one who
had been such a true friend - when to do this they had to encounter the
worst storms we have had this winter. Mr. WHITE leaves a wife and
seven children to mourn his loss, to whom the deep sympathy of the whole
community is extended.
