DEATH OF CAPTAIN RISLEY

	We regret to announce the death of Captain Douglas G. Risley, which 
occurred on Saturday night, 18th inst., from hemorrhage of the lungs, having 
broken a blood vessel in a severe fit of coughing.  Capt. Risley was on the 
retired list of the U.S. army, having been invalided from severe wounds 
received in the late war.  He was a Lieutenant in command here after the war, 
under the Freedmen’s Bureau, and built the Risley school house, for the 
education of colored children.  In 1871 he was elected county treasurer on the 
Republican ticket.  Some two years since he organized a cigar factory here, 
which, after doing a good business, was burned out in June last, being almost 
a total loss, with but little insurance.  Since then Capt. Risley has been 
sick nearly all the time, and has at last succumbed.  We tender our sympathies 
to his sorrowing relatives and friends.
