Mrs. E. R.
STUART, aged 30, died Sunday at her home in Bluefield of consumption. Mrs.
STUART is survived by a husband and three small children. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles W. RATLIFF, of Richlands, Va. and the remains accompanied by the husband, Col. and Miss
Lucy STUART and Dr. BULLARD, pastor of the Christian church, were taken
yesterday morning to the old home cemetery for interment.
Mr. John B. HURT, of Pounding Mill, was a defendant in a law suit here
this week, the Underwood Typewriter Company having brought action against
him to recover a typewriter he had brought from J.H. DUGGER, former
Manager of the Wienman Baryta Co, with an office at Pounding Mill. The
company claimed that the typewriter had never been paid for, and therefore, Mr.
DUGGER had no authority to sell it. The complainant demurred to the evidence, which took the care out of the hands of the jury
to be decided by the court. An opinion has not been rendered by the court.
Misses May HANKINS, Neta PEERY, Nellie and Cecil STUART, will give a musical recital in the Methodist Church on next Thursday evening, July 1st. The price of admission will be 25 and 50 cents. The program will consist of vocal and instrumental selections. These young ladies are all daughters of well known people in this town. They were born and reared in this community, and are young ladies of real worth and ability. Each of them, besides having natural musical gifts, spent last year in New York studying under the direction of the best teachers. They should have the sympathy and enthusiastic support of the entire town. They are ambitious to make the most of themselves and should be encouraged in such a laudable purpose. No doubt they will have a full house.
Clarence IRESON, the popular and obliging young drayman, is just
recovering from a serious illness. He expresses himself as sincerely grateful to his friends for their kindness to him during his sickness.
Clarence had a narrow escape during his sickness. He took a teaspoonful of
carbolic acid through mistake, and his mouth and throat was painfully burned. The prompt arrival of a physician and the use of remedies
prevented serious consequences. Many people in town will be glad to know
that he will soon be at his post again. During his sickness his "Pap" Mr.
John F. IRESON, has charge of the dray, and the horses are wishing for
Clarence's speedy return.
