Mrs. J.M. SHEPPARD, of Falls Mills left Sunday for
Critz, West Virginia to attend the funeral and burial of her cousin,
Hylton FULTON. Young FULTON was a student at the
Randolph-Macon Academy, at Benford City. He and a number of fellow
students were caught in a storm on their way to a play at the Belmont
theatre, and started to run for shelter. As they reached Belmont corner,
near the theater, young FULTON fell dead, death being the result
of over exertion of a weak heart. Young FULTON was eighteen years
old, and a son of J.W. FULTON of Critz, Patrick County Virginia.
Mr. George W. ST. CLAIR came home a few days ago with his
face all swollen, one eye entirely closed and the other barely open, and
in such shape that his wife even, to say nothing of his friends, didn't
know him. A little boy who had been fighting yellow jackets or bumble
bees, or an active campaigner in an election contest of years ago, could
not have been more
"done up." But the Tazewell Lawyer encountered none of these things. He
came in contact with Buchanan county poison oak, and it did him up in
good style. He has been confined to his room nearly all the week, but is
now out and himself again. The next time he goes to Buchanan he will be
choice in the selection of his riding switches and use a spur.
Yesterday was Confederate Soldier Pension day. A number of the old
soldiers were here. The Brown-Harman Camp also held a meeting and
selected delegates to the annual reunion at Mobile April 26-27-28. The
following were elected: Maj. R.R. HENRY, C.T. SCOTT, and
J.H. CALDWELL, with Capt. C.A. FUDGE, Hugh SPARKS
and M.H. HARMAN, alternates. The Camp assembled in the Court
House with Major TYNES presiding and W.L. MOORE secretary.
