Pnssell has causeil widespread regret among a large circle of associates and the old friends of that estimable man. Mr. Fussell had about filled out the span of life usually allotted to mortals, being iu his G7th year, and for several years had been in feeble health. During the past year he had been confined to his room the greater part of the time, and for several months it had been appar ent to the devoted watchers at his bedside that the flame of life was rapidly growing feebler. Though almost entirely helpless physically at times, Mr. Fussell re tained his mental faculties unim paired. He was bright and cheer ful at nearly all times, and always enjoyed the presence of company His death occurred at tho home of his son-in-law, Sidney L. Peeler, on Thursday night of last week When the summons came, he clos ed his eyes quietly and peacefully Rnd was no more. The deceased was a native of Madison County, but had resided here for over forty years. The peaceful end was a. fitting close to a well spent life. A devoted hus band, an indulgent father, a faith ful friend, an upright man, a citi zen of sterling merit; Mr Fussell was all of these. He was a believ er, but was not a member of any church. A heart-broken widow and four -children, Mrs. V; M. Johnson, Mrs. S. L. Peeler, Mrs. G. W. Arnold, and Mrs. C. V. Hawley, remain to mourn the loss of a beloved hus band and father. Funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. Peeler by Ilev. G. W. Banks, of Lexington, Friday afternoon, and the "interment took place at Camden Cemetery. At the grave joint services were held by the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of Honor, Mr. Fussell be ing a member iu high standing of both orders. FltOll W1IHATLKY. Jugular c'im'sponik'iife, II.

She lost nearly all her household goods, and not one of the family escaped with a full suit of clothes. The fire originated in a closet and was caused by a defective fireplace. The family was up late, and before retiring complained of smelling something burning, but could not locate it. They were soon awaken ed to find the blaze beyond control. Everything was a total loss.

The war drama, "From Sumpter to Appomattox," was rendered by local talent at Benton Seminary Tuesday evening, and to say that the large audience which had as sembled on that occasion was well pleased, is putting it mildly. In fact, every one was so delighted with the performance, the drama was repeated again at the seminary Wednesday evening, and a large audience by their presence and ap plause attested their admiration and appreciation of the work of those who so successfully present ed the drama. Those who took part in the play were: Messeura, Tom C. Rye, D. G. Hudson, W. T. Morris, W. D. Cooper, L. R. Wat son, and W. L. McElyea; Mrs. G. N. Travis, and Misses Pearl Ar nold and Inez Gibson.
