Venabte, in this city. He came to Ox ford a week ago from South Boston, Va., where he had resided tor the past several years, ne nau just lea a Dea of sickness and was on the road to full recovery, it was thought.,. He .suffered a relapse shortly after arriving here and took to his bed, but no one dreamed that the end was so near, and his death was a surprise and an awful shock to his family and the com munity. Abe Venable, as he was familiarly called, was a magnificent specimen of physical manhood. His intellect ual attainments were of a high order, and he was a brilliant conversationalist and a graceful and forcible writer. He was a young man of captivating per sonal address, and the charms of his manner won him friends wherever he went. He was a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. He was one time drillmaster and professor at Horner & Graves Military School at Hillsboro He was editor of the lorchlight in the zenith of its popularity, and later he edited the News of Oxford. In re cent years his attention was turned to insurance business, and as special agent of the Washington L,ife Insur ance Company he was signally success ful. He was a grandson, of and named for the late Hon. Abram W. Venable, one of the most gifted. Representa tives in Congress our State ever had. . The deceased had not yet reached the thirty-sixth year of his age cut down m the very flower of his man hood and the height of his usefullness. I he jjay tenders us warmest sympa thies to the sorely bereaved family. The funeral services will take place at the residence of his father at n o'clock tomorrow morning. The ser vices will be conducted by Re v. Joseph Rennieand Rev. J. S. Hardaway,after which the body will be carried direct ly to the Cemetery for burial.
