SUSSEX COUNTY NOTES.

Emmett Gilliam's Case - Deep Snow - Child Fatally Burned. 

  WAVERLY, VA., February 19. - (Special.) - At the February term of the County 
Court of Sussex a nolle prosequi was entered in the case of the Commonwealth 
vs. Emmett Gilliam, charged with abducting Mattie Smith, a white girl who 
resides near Jarratt's, in this county. 

  Gilliam was at once rearrested on a warrant charging him with an offence 
against morality, taken before a Justice of the Peace, and bailed for his 
appearance at his trial, which was to be held a few days later at Jarratt's 
Depot. 

  Your correspondent has never learned the result of the examination before 
the justice. 

  The snow which fell here a few days ago was the heaviest which the citizens 
have witnessed for a number of years.  In some instances buildings gave way 
under the weight of the snow.  It melts very slowly and is materially 
interfering with all kinds of business in this section. 

  Elsie West, the 11-year-oid daughter of Mr. John W. West, of this place, is 
suffering from an attack of appendicitis. 

  On yesterday the 3-year-old child of Mr. J.T. White, a farmer residing about 
three miles from Waverly, fell into the fire and was burned to death.
