it seems that in the House the Fops

We are pained to state that on
Wednesday night of this week about
3 o'clock Mrs. Mary V. Council! was
stricken with paralysis and at this
writing she lies Ln a comatose condition,
not having moved since she was
stricken. The greatest fears are entertained
that 3he will not recover,
in consequence of which a deep gloom
re3ts upon our town arid community.
We do hope, however, that the disease
will lose its grasp and that this
good lady who is so much loved by
all may be restored to her friends
again.
