Mr. J. F. Pigg, our accomplished County Surveyor, who has been making his
home at Raccoon, this county, nine miles north of London, has become a
citizen of London, occupying the property recently vacated by Constable W. G.
Jones, and has entered his children in the Laurel Baptist Seminary.
Three or four young men ventured out below the depot too far Tuesday night,
was beyond police protection and as a result one of them received a severe
blow over the eye with a pair of brass knucks or other hard substance, thus
sustaining a very ugly wound. We hope they will be a little more cautious in
the future and remain a little nearer their parental roof.
If troubled with a weak digestion, belching, sour stomach, or if you feel
dull after eating, try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Price, 25
cents. Samples free at W. H. Poynter & Co.'s drugstore.
By an advertisement in another column in this issue it will be seen that
quite an amount of land belonging to the John C. Jackson's estate will soon
be offered for sale. Those who desire to purchase any portion of it, any
boundary or parts of boundary, will please confer with the administrator at
once. Those who come first will stand the best chance to secure choice
boundaries.
Constable W. G. Jones and family, who have always made London and vicinity
their home, left last Tuesday for Cherryvale, Kansas, where they contemplate
making their future home. They were induced to make this change in their
home on account of the health of Mr. Jones, who has been seriously afflicted
with rheumatism for several months. It is hoped that a change of climate
will be beneficial. They have the best wishes of The Echo in whatever field
of labor they may be called.
MARRIED-At the home of the bride at 6 o'clock last Thursday evening, by Rev.
F.J. McIntire, Mr. Frank McMillen to Miss Sallie Wren. Mr. McMillen is one
of London's most worthy young men and an employee of the London Marble works,
and the bride is one of our most estimable young ladies, daughter of Mrs.
Polly Wren, widow of the late John Wren. The happy couple have the best
wishes of The Echo in their new relations of life.
At six o'clock Sunday night, January 6, 1901, the death angel visited the
home of James and Nancy Ponder, near Mershons Cross Roads and claimed for his
own Margaret, a daughter of eighteen years. Margaret was the most gentle and
kind girl I ever saw? The remains were laid to rest at the Union graveyard
by the side of her sister.
