Mrs. BLACKWELL, the wife of George
BLACKWELL, died at her home in Thompson Valley on Tuesday, of consumption. She leaves a husband and one child. The burial took place on Wednesday.
Mrs. A.P. FRENCH died last Monday night at her home near Tannersville, in this county, in the 53 year of her age. Mrs.
FRENCH was the mother of Mrs. W.W. MOORE, of this town, and sister of
Jno. A.
NEAL, a well known citizen of Poor Valley. She was an excellent woman, and held in the highest esteem by all who know her.
Mr. Samuel SMOOT, an aged citizen of Witten's Mills neighborhood, died last week in Boone County, West Virginia, where he had gone to visit some of his children who live there. He seemed to think, so we are told, that his days were about ended, and it is thought that he went to Boone County not expecting to return. Mr.
SMOOT was thrice married and two of his wives are buried in Boone County. He was about 80 years old.
One of our industrious young men who has rarely been seen in company with any young lady since he attained the age of 25, took courage a few days since, and when he went to call on a certain young lady, he asked her if she would like to take a walk, to which she readily agreed. So the day was set for last Wednesday, October 18. On the appointed day the walk led the happy couple to the residence of Rev. Thomas
MOWBREY, where they were joined in holy bonds of matrimony. The name of the gentleman is Mr. Wiley
WALK, and that of the lady, Miss Maggie WYATT. They are too well known and worthy young people and have the best wishes of all who know them.
