A (Jueer Kpccinien of Corn.
Numbers have already looked
at a specimen of corn we have in
our ofiice now for inspection
which -was brought us by Mr. J.
Walter Day vault, of No. 4 town
ship. Everyone at first sight
thinks it is a freak of nature and
not a natural growth but yet Mr.
Dayvault says that he has about
25 rows of just this kind. The
one T large ear has an infinite
: '
number of smaller branch ears,
and on the one large ear is an
unusual amount of silks sufii
cient to entirely niae tne corn.
It is not yet grown enough to
serve on the table but when full
grown we will get to take an
other view of it. Numbers
think it is an abnormal growth
Eugene Edwards Dead.
Death visited the home of Mr.
Eugene Edwards on Mill street
Monday, and robbed the home of
its devoted husband and father,
who was only about 25 years of
age. To add to the discomfort
and loss the wife is yet very
sick with typhoid fever. He
left behind also, one small child.
The funeral was preached by
Rev. T. W. Smith after which
the remains were interred in the
cemetry. ; His parents are

Held In Quarantine.
On last Saturday Mrs. R. K.
Blair, of Charlotte, who is
known by a number of our read
ers, arrived at Hampton, V a.,
near Newport' News to visit her
sister. Since the breaking out
of yellow fever she is now under

very probable, though not cer

whose family is now visiting at
Mr. Jas. P. Cook's here, is in
quarantine, having left Newport
News only a few days before the
breaking out of the disease. He
left for New York.
