        Special to The Landmark. 

  Suffolk, Va., October 5. - One of the saddest deaths to occur in the 
neighborhood of Chuckatuck in this county in quite a while occurred this 
afternoon when the little two-year-old boy of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Batten 
was choked to death.  The little fellow was eating a piece of apple about

for, but before he could arrive the child died.
