Easter Services at Methodist Church.
Regular or special services were held in
all the churches in town last Sunday. The
special services at the Methodist Church
were enjoyed by a large congregation
The altar was decorated with beautiful
flowers, one plant, a Chinese azalia, being
wonderfully beautiful. It was placed there
by Miss Sue Steele, who owns the
plant, and, though a small one, it had 25
lovely pink blossoms on it.
The music for the occasion was hastily
gotten up, but was of such a character as
to win the approval of members and visitor
to the church. An anthem, "The Lord is
Risen Indeed" was rendered by a quartette
accompanied by the organ and violin.
Mi\ W. O. Whitman played the violin in
his excellent style. An appropriate opening

rendered her song nicely.

a splendid sermon from 2nd Timothy 1.10:
"Who hath abolished death and brought
life and immortality to light through the

new way to us, and the preacher drew a.
marked distinction between mere existence
and life. At the conclusion of the sermon
the choir sang another anthem "Up From
the Giave lie Arose,"with great spirit and
smoothness. The eervices were of a de?
lightful character and were heartily en?
joyed by the large congregation in atten
daee,

church had been tastefully decorated with
evergreens, flowers and handsome potted
plants, giving the building a very preTty
and festive appearance. The choir was
reinforced with the kind assistance of
j members of other churches, with the result

An Evening With Longfellow.
On Monday night the Epworth League
held its regular literary meeting at the
residence of Dr. R. D. Hufford as the
guests of Miss Nellie Hufford. The meet?
ing was styled an evening with Longfellow,
and the exercises consisted of readings from
the life and poems of the American poet
and singing from his poems.
Such meetings are very instructive and
pleasant to the young people who engage
in them.
At the conclusion of the literary exercises
elegant refreshments were served by Miss
Nellie Hufford, the hostess.
A Complete Mill.
A few days ago the writer was at Cedar
Bluff, and was shown through the Clinch
Valley Roller Mills by Mr. W. J. Higgin?
botham, one of the proprietors. We had
been told the mills were good but had no
idea they were so excellent. Every new
piece of machinery or appliance that is
now found in modern, complete milling
establishments can be seen in the mills at
Cedar Blu?'. As to the power. It is run
by water, which turns a fifty horse-power
turbine wheel, and additional power can
be added if necessary.
The machinery consists of a Monitor
I Separator, manufactured by the Henley
I Manufacturing Co., of Selver Creek, N.
I Y., three Gorton Purifying Flour Dress
! ers, a Prince Dust Collector, three stands
of Norish Rolls, three Gorton Dusters, one
Whitmore Purifier, one flour packer, 15
elevators for carrying stock to any part
of the mill, and innumerable smaller
machines and appliances. All of the
machinery is of the highest quality, and
the result is the manufacture of live grades
of Hour by the linn that stand almost unri?
valed in the markets. We mentioned the
"Invincible'' a fancy patent brand and
the "Free Silver", "Pride of the Valley''
and" Rising Sun." All of these brands
are highly praised by those who have used
them. The mills are also thoroughly
equipped with burrs for grinding meal and
chop. The capacity of the establishment
is 50 barrels of flour and 200 bushels of
corn a day. Mr. J. H. Kirby, a member
of the firm, is in charge of the mechanical
part of the mills and knows all about it, as
he put in the machinery. He evidently,
understands bis buisness. The output of
the mills is readily sold, and the only
serious trouble the proprietors have
is securing grain. They have to send to
other counties and states for the most they
they use. Our farmers are making a seri?
ous mistake in not raising more wheat and
corn. Too much money is sent out of the
county for grain
Circuit Court Proceedings.
Since the reports contained in the last
issue of the RrunucAX the following are,
in part, the proceedings of the Circuit
Court

Trustees of the Flat Top Coal Land
Association vs. Win G. W. Iaeger ,which
was an ejectment suit, the jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff and the right to

It is understood that the defendant
will make application fo the Supreme
Court of Appeals for a writ of error to the
finding of the jury ami judgment of the
Circuit Court.
? The trial of the celebrated will case of
Henry T. Peery vs. Mary Ann Gillespie
was begun on Sunday. This is an issue
out of chancery directed in the suit of
Mary Ann Gillespie vs Henry T. Peery,
which was brought by the plaintifl to set
aside the will of her mother, Mrs. Nancy
Peery, deed, who died last July, and who
made a will bequeathing all her estate to
her husband, Henry T. Peery. There
are a number of witnesses and able counsel
on both sides of the case, and it will occupy
the balance of the term, which will end
Srturday.
On the chancery side of the court
nothing of great importance has engaged
it, except the injunction case of
James S. Browning vs. The Southwest Va.
Improvement Company. For the past
three mornings arguments have been made
in the case and it was submitted to Judge
Jackson this moining.
Unfortunate Fatal Accident,
On the 12th inst. Mr. Ceorge Blanken
ship was engaged in cutting timber about
three miles from Cedar Bluff, in this
county. He cut a large poplar tree, and
in falling, the poplar fell against a sugar
tree, broke a limb from the sugar tree,
which Hew back and struck Mr. Blanken
ship on the head and knocked him in?
sensible. He saw as the tree was falling
that there was danger, and tried to escape
by running out of the way. He was taken
to his home near Cedar Blulf, but never
recovered consciousness, and died about
ten hours after the accident. Mr. Blank
enship was a worthy man, and leaves a de?
pendent family consisting of wife and eight
or nine children. He was about 45 years
old. His remains were buried on the l?th
inst at Jones' Chapel, near Cedar Bluff.

at the examination in that city of appli?
cants for the eadetship at the Naval Acad?

IDAY, APRIL 22, I
MINISTER HARRY SMYTHE RESIGNS,
Resignation Accepted With Promptness
That Astonishes the Gentleman.
Washington, D. C, April 20.?Hon.
Harry M. Smythe, of Virginia, minister
to Uati, and charge d'affaires at San
Domingo, who returned recently on a
sixty-day leave of absence, has resigned;
and though bis leave not half expired, bis
resignation has been accepted by the
Secretary of State. There is something
strange about this proceeding. Nothing
could be learned regarding it at the State
Department, and as Mr. Smythe is still in
the mountains of Not th Carolina, in the
vicinity of Asheville, where be went to re?
cuperate, it may be some time before the
true inwardness of Mr.Smythe's resignation
will become known. There is evidently
some mystery about it, and from the
reticence of the State Department officials
?the absolute refusal to give any reasons
fur Mr. Smylhe's sudden resignation?it is
believed that tin re is some diplomacy of
an important nature involved.
No appointment has yet been made of
a successor to Mr. Smythe,ami itiahardly
probable that this tropical plum will fall to
any of the Virginians who are applying
for it.
WAR HAS ACTUALLY BEGUN
Fighting Behveen Greeks and Turks Cum
neneed on Easter Day.
After many preliminary conflicts between
irregular Creek bands and Turkish troops,
that had been occuring for several weeks,
on Sunday regular battles were fought at
different places on the border between
Greek ami Turkish territory. There was
fighting ail day at Milouna Pass, and it is
reported that the losses of Greeks and
Turks at that place will amount to twenty
thousand men.
The < "reek fleet bombarded the Turkish
fort Prevessa. Reports are conflicting as
to the results of the battles on land and
sea. Roth the Greeks and Turks are
lighting stubbornly; but with such heavy
odds against them the Greeks cannot
be successful if they are not aided by
some other Christian nation.
A few more days will tell whether the
war will be brief or prolonged.
HI NTER HAS RETIRED.
He at Last Realizes That His Fight Was
a Hopeless One^^-vj^
Frankfort, Ky., April 20.?Dr. God?
frey Hunter this afternoon announced his
retirement from the Senatorial light.
He states that he took this step rather
than prolong a hopeless fight.
He also says th.it the proceedings before
the grand jury had no bearing on his de?
cision.
The railway meta's between London
and Fdinburg, a distance of 400 miles, are

by the extra heat.
