success both from a financial and

crowd present aud a plenty and variety
of gastronomic dainties, such as
oysters, barbecue, turkey, ice-cream,
etc. The proceeds, which will be applied
to the repairiug of Union

first of five high class attractions
that have been booked for the season.
The Ivceutn has secured these entertainers
at considerable expense and a
good deal of trouble, the members

long winter months. Whether or
not the lyceam becomes a permanent
institution depends on the encourage:

upon the entertainments fur:

scheme and no one connected with it
; expects to receive a dollar of profit.

It might be well to call the attention
of the electors of Williamsburg
again to the two constitutional
amendments they will vote upon
next week. One is to provide for
biennial sessions. The other has for
its object the giving of authority to
the General Assembly to enact special
or local laws with regard to road
working, so that each county may
have just such a road law as it wants
without regard to the other sections
of the State. ,, These are very important.

Death of Mr. B F. Brockinton, Sr;
Dock, Oct. 30:?Our commnnit
was saddened early Friday morniiij
when the death angel visited ou
midst and took one of our best men
Mr Benjamin Franklin Brockinton
Sr.
All that medical skill and kini
hands could do wa9 done to stay th
hand of death, but to no avail.
On Friday morning he drew th
draDerv of his couch around him am
lay down, as it were, to pleasan
dreams, while his gentle spirit wa
wafted over the silent river of deatl
and into the celestial city to be-wit!
the God who gave it.
It is useless for me to try to de
scribe the life of our departed friend
Suffice to say that he was a man o
God. As a man he was kind ant
gentle and sweet-tempered to ever
body alike, especially in his home
It seemed to be his greatest deligh
to have his home filled with hi
friends.
In his death the Black Ming
Baptist church has lost one of it
strongest pillais.
.Mr Brockinton was twice murried
first to Miss Sarah Cooper, who afte
i long and happy married life will
her devoted husband, died and lei
him with eleven children, five boy
and six girls. A few years later hi
married Mrs Mag Sian,- who witl
two children survives him.
On Saturday. morning a larg
crowd of sorrowing friends aud rel
utii-oa usspmhlpfl at the old Belii
church to pay the last tribute of re
spect to the departed friend am
loved one.
Rev Mr Wilder, as-isted by lie
S T Russell, conducted the funers
services. This was the most solemi
funeial service that the writer ha
ever witnessed; a great hush seenie
to prevail during the sad hour. ?
Franklin Brockinton is no mor
and never will we see his like again
Safe in the arms if Jesus;
Safe 011 his gentle breast;
There by his -love over shadowet
Sweetly his soul shall rest.
