Ok. Here's a new installment of the Dickenson Co. newspaper articles. Brought to you by: Anette Dameron, Louise Vanover Vore, Rachel Vore and Robert Beverly. These articles can also be seen at Robert Beverly's page - http://members.xoom.com/rtb/DCN.htm A report has just reached here from Harlan Co., KY, to the effect that John M. MIDDLETON, a proserous young married man, was killed there a day or two since in a political row. No particulars have been recieved as to the affair; but relatives of MIDDLETON left Letcher Co. near here, for that place. It is said the election in that county will be the warmiest for years. FROM THE VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN News from Dickenson County - Bloodshed and Love. Dwale, Dickenson, Co., VA., March 18. - your correspondent lately had the privilege of looking through some papers of an old man, who has long since passed to that bourn whence no voyager returns. Some of these documents were unique, and bore dates ranging from 1830 to 1860. One instrument found among them reads as follows: For value recd., against the first day of March next, I will pay RATLIFF & CECIL thirteen dollars & 15 cents. This 16th Oct. 1832. JOHN FLEMON. The following is a copy of an order granted by Floyd County Court, but whether it was the Floyd Co. of VA, or some other State rejoicing in a county of like name, there is nothing about the order to show: Floyd County Court, June term 1835: John FLEMING is appointed Surveyor of the road from the Dry Branch to the Picture of the Turtle. In the place of Frederick GLAMBAUGH, removed. And it is ordered that he call on all the hands on Beaver above where Samuel HARRIS formerly lived, and down as low as where William ISAACs to post. Him to keep the same in repair according to law; cut smooth fifteen feet wide, and dig six feet wide, where digging is necessary. A Copy att. JACOB MAYO, C.F.C.C. BLOODSHED & LOVE Marion MULLINS, son of Harmon MULLINS, of this place, went over into Pike Co., KY, a few days since and became involved in an altercation with one Eliju BARTLEY, who he shot twice with a pistol from the effects of which he died within a few hours. Young MULLINS was at once lodged in jail at Pikeville, the county seat. He claims that he committed the act in self-defence. County Court is in session at Clintwood this week. The case of the Commonwealth vs. David FLEMING, charges with making a felonious attempt upon his cousin, Tandy FLEMING, last June, is being heared now, and is attracting considerable attention. The venire comes from the remoter parts of the county, and is composed of the following men: Noah SMITH, A. D. SILCOX, James McCOY, Garland KISER, John F. McCOY, Larkin VIARS, S. D. COUNTS, J. H. RASNICK, A. J. GRIZZLE, W. G. ROSE, Ira HALE, and Charles TURNER. This trial will probably not be ended before some time next week. Yesterday, just after the opening of court, George MULLINS and Margaret HOWELL came into the court-room, and procuring a marriage license from the clerk, called on the Rev. J. C. SWINDALL to say the ceremony. The party retired to an upper room of the building followed by about two-thirds or those present, where they were made one - two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one. The bride is only 18, while the bridegroom is her senior by about two years. Old Billy MULLINS, who is the most venerable man in the county, being up in the nineties, is very feeble, and his death is expected at any hour.
