DR. SWINDELL DEAD.
After a long and wasting ill
ness, Dr. R. B. Swindell, a for
mer well known dentist of this
city, died last Sunday evening,
in the city of Richmond, Va., at
the residence of his father-in
law, Mr. Thos. P, Campbell.
Dr. Swindell was married to
Miss Claude Campbell, of Rich
mond, and they removed to this
city, where the husband had
built up a good practice. His
health began to fail, however,
and he went to Richmond, hop
ing that the change would be
beneficial, but on the contrary
he continued to grow worse.
Dr. Swindell was a man jn
the prime cf life, and possessed
a most lovable character. The
announcement of his death will
cause sorrow among his many
friends in this city.

Mr. Gilbert Walden, who is to
lecture and give humorous read
ings at the Court House on Jan
17 and iS, is heralded by the
most flattering testimonials. vThe
Norfolk Landmark, usually so
conservative, gives Mr. Walden
the highest praise; while such
men as Dr. Hawthorn, Senator
Vest, Senator John W. Daniel,
and Joel Chandler Harris are
equally enthusiastic. Mr.
Walden boasts a long and illuss
trious ancestry, but on the stage
he is perfectly free and easy in
his impersonation of the negro
in story and in song. "Mars
Chan" and "Men Lady" never
fail to bring tears; "How Sal
Came Through" is side splitting;
while his rendering of Poe's
"Bells" makes it as a new poem
to us. The popular prices will
be charged when Mr. Walden
lectures on Monday and Tues
