Mr. and Mrs. John MCCALL received a
telegram a few days ago summoning them to Greensboro NC, to the bedside of their daughter
Mrs. FORBIS, who was reported extremely ill. Later reports state that she is
better. Miss Lizzie McCALL, who was married a few weeks ago to Mr. FORBIS,
had scarcely become settled in Greensboro, when this serious illness occurred. The trouble
is said to be peritonitis, and serious doubts are entertained of her recovery.
Mrs. H.B. SHELTON and Mrs. George SHRADER
have been guests for some time recently of Mrs. George R. SURFACE. Mr. SHELTON,
a prominent merchant of Bluefield, is brother to Mrs. SURFACE, and Mr. SHRADER, a
well known lawyer, whose wife is sister to Mr. SURFACE, both were here on
Monday, and left on afternoon train, with their wives from Bluefield.
Mr. J.R. LOWDER died on Wednesday afternoon,
about 4 pm at his home on Tazewell avenue, after a long illness. His death had been
expected for some time, and was no surprise to the community. Besides a wife he leaves
three daughters - Mrs. Harry BUSTON, Misses Josie and Lettie
LOWDER, and one son. Mr.
LOWDER was about 52 years old and was a useful, upright, intelligent man, and will be
