We will begin tomorrow to move the plant of the Gazette to Heyser’s Opera Hall. This is a herculean task as the presses, stones, etc. are very heavy, and it will be difficult to get them down and up the stairways. There is also great danger in getting some of the machinery broken, and, if The Gazette does not come out on time next week, you will know that it is on account of the removal.

All that part of Rosine south of the railroad was burned on last Saturday at noon. The fire originated in the cook rooms of Judge Crowder and his dwelling, Ragland’s drug store, the hotel occupied by Mr. Leach but owned by H. D. McHenry, and the depot were all burned, besides two cars that were on the side track, and a lot of staves. The loss amounts to $7,000 and not a cent of insurance. All of the north side of the town was burned in 1882.

Circuit Court: The four weeks’ term of Court, the longest ever held at this place, closed last Saturday. The following are the most important cases that were disposed of since our last report. W. S. Miller vs Letcher Fleener, involving the ownership of a yoke of oxen, was a very interesting case, there being five lawyers in the case. Judgment for $66 was rendered in favor of Miller. Nancy Allen vs. W. E. Wortham suit for libel was a long case but resulted in a hung jury. J. H. Barton vs Railroad for obstructing natural flow of water resulted in a verdict of $100 for Barton, but an appeal was taken. Hon. P. H. Darby and Judge J. C. Graham sat as Special judges during most of the week, Judge McBeath being disqualified in most of the cases.

A Good Woman Gone: Mrs. Celicia Cubbage, widow of William Cubbage, came in from her home, two miles from town, on last Sunday to visit her son and daughter, and other relatives, and died very suddenly and unexpected, at 11:15 o’clock Monday night. During her trip to town on Sunday and all day Monday she seemed cheerful, ate a hearty supper Monday night and retired at 7:30 and went to sleep, seemingly as well as common. Her daughter, Mrs. William Kefauver, with whom she was staying, placed a cane at the side of the bed and told her to knock on the wall if she needed any thing. A little after eleven o’clock she tapped on the wall and called “Ollie! Ollie!” and Mrs. Kefauver went to her immediately, but in less than ten minutes she was dead. She had a slight attack of paralysis about eight or nine years ago from which she recovered, but last June she had another attack while walking in the yard and fell and has never walked a step since, but was able to sit up and could stand by bearing the principle part of her weight on one foot, and was thought to be improving when death came and relieved her from all suffering. Her funeral was not preached till 12 o’clock Wednesday that her three sons whom live in Missouri might be present. The services were conducted by Eld. J. Armstrong at the Baptist church and her remains were laid to rest in the Beaver Dam grave-yard beside her husband and three children. Mrs. Cubbage was born in Henry county March 25, 1827, and therefore was in her 64th year. She was married to Mr. William Cubbage in 1840 and was the mother of fourteen children, ten of whom lived to be grown and eight of whom are still living. Mrs. Cubbage joined the Baptist church soon after her marriage and has been a consistent member of the Leitchfield Baptist church every since they came to this county in 1860. Following the example of her savior, she was a woman of great forbearance. No odds how great her suffering she never complained. Nothing seemed to vex or worry her and she was always pleasant and cheerful, and was loved by all who knew her. Her life was one that all of her children should strive to emulate, that they may meet her in the bright world beyond. Our deepest sympathy is with those who have lost such a good mother, relative or friend.
