      "We are sorry to learn that Geo. W. Farr, one of West Union's best citizens, is again stricken with typhoid. Only last spring he suffered an attack, from which he never fully recovered his usual good health, and his many friends throughout this section of the state will be especially pained to learn of his double affliction in so short a time."
