eating the luxuries of the season.

among the whites.
On Thursday, June 15th, Miss H.A. Miller, teacher of the Hartshorn Memorial College was married to Prof. James Coleman of
Washington, D.C., at her home Bowlesville, Va. Only Miss A.E. Brackett and Miss Lizzie Coles, of Charlottesville, and a few
neighbors were to witness the marriage because of Miss Miller's ill health.
Rev. Moss, of Danville, and Lawyer Jas. Hayes, of Richmond, were in our city this week on the 24th inst.
Mr. R.F. Browne died at his residence on Gospel Hill. For nearly a year he has been struggling with that terrible destroyer
Consumption. He was taken sick at the Healing Springs last Summer. He came home in August. He commenced teaching school
last fall at Eastham. His health was so bad, he only taught school nine days. He was a member of the First Baptist Church,
also a member of the choir; but his voice will be heard in this earthly choir no more but in heaven. We hope to hear him
again around the throne of God. He was liked by all who knew him. He was a member of the 3 V. club. We extend to the family
our heart-felt sympathy. He leaves a mother, father and brother to mourn their loss. His funeral took place this afternoon
from 1st Baptist Church.
Rev. Wm. Gibbons ran an excursion here from Washington yesterday. He preached at Ebenezer last night. His sister Miss Bella
L. Gibbons was here. Everything was very quiet and pleasant.
Our correspondent expects to leave for Mt. Top, July 1st. In God I trust.
