FINE COLT SHOW

The colt show was the feature of Tuesdays entertainment. Jos. W. MOSS, as
advertised in this paper last wee, offered premiums for the first and
second best colts of his horse, in the county. Fifteen colts were
exhibited, and a fine bunch they were. Mr. William McNEIL won first honors
for the best colt in the lot, and Mr. J. Cecil PEERY, second. The colts
were all fine, and even expert judges had difficulty in rendering a
decision.

MRS. MATTHEWS DEAD

Mrs. Eliza Sanders Matthews, wife of Lewis Mathews, died last Friday
