Paschal D. Williams. Paschal D Williams oue of High? land's most worthy citizens whose death was mentioned in our last is? sue, was born Aug. 24, 1824, at the old Williams homestead near Mc? Dowell, the same farm on which he Spent his whole life and where that useful life was brought to a close. Mr William's first wife was Miss Elizabeth Radner of Augusta coun? ty, and by this union there were six children, four living, viz: L. P. Williams, Fort Defiance, Va.; George D Williams, Carleton, Mo.; John S Williams, Spring Creek Va and Mrs John Hawkins, Oklahoma Ter. His second marriage which was in Dec.

Ko, poor o'd Charley did not die from a broken heart because he heard the rail road men talking so favorably of a rail road being built iirthis locality, but he and his com? panions called a "mass meeting to be held in a low place in the pas? ture to discuss the matt.- The speaker made such a fine address. Ile pictured the advantages they would receive by the rail road be? ing built in such glowing terms by telling them that instead of them drawing heavy burdens across the.. mountains year in and year oat, through heat and through cold, through wet and dry, through dasi and mud, they would fare like oth? er farmer's horses, have more time to luxuriate over these fine blue grass hinds, especially of nights, in? stead of being tied up all night tc the wagon, or in the stable they would bc- out in these nice blue grass fields enjoying the life tha! Nature's God had provided for then By this time the party had becoroi so ni uer. excited and overjoyed bj the fine prospect of exquisite pleas uri; that the whole party began ap plauding by rearing and dancing around, and poor old Charley not being quite so active as he was in his younger days slipped and fell down in a low place in the cove with bis back downhill, and it seems that he could not turn ' : >- elf over and there he laid kicking, pawing and hiting at the earth, seeing that without help all his future pleas? ures are at an end, and so Ire yield? ed up th' Ghost.
