The Vernon Clipper February 6, 1880
PIKEVILLE ITEMS

It is not probable that any of the public land in this section will find a 
purchaser at the land sales, which commence at Huntsville, on the 17th of 
February.  It cannot be sold for less than $1.25 per acre, and nobody will give 
so much for it.  For the information of those who purpose entering land, we 
will state that no applications for entry under the Homestead law will be 
received during the continuance of the sales, which will last two weeks.  After 
that time entries will be resumed as heretofore.

The Pikeville saloon men have reduces the price of whisky to five cents a 
glass, and still many of our people are not happy.

ELISHA VICKERY, our accommodating and efficient County Superintendent of 
Education, has been reappointed to that office by the State Superintendent.  
MR. BOX has put the right man in the right place.

Pikeville will soon have a daily mail from Aberdeen.

RILEY S. BOTTOMS, Esq., has been appointed a Notary Public and ex-officio 
Justice of the Peace in the Hackelburg Beat.  MR. BOTTOMS will make a good 
officer.

MR. ALEXANDER HUEY, a very worthy citizen who lived in the neighborhood of the 
Toll Gate in this county, died suddenly on the 25th of January.  He was in the 
woods with some neighbors chopping, and after hauling, sat on a log for awhile 
to rest, he complained of being thirsty, and rose from his seat, when he fell 
on his face and expired instantly.  Deceased was a brother of MR. WM. HUEY, of 
Lamar County.
