Title: Buchanan Community News May 20, 1880
Date: 1880-05-20
Description: A newspaper article of community news titled "Buchanan Items." It reads,

"Accident - On last Tuesday a slide took place in one of the mines upon the Arcadia Iron Works, and in its descent caught Mr. William Allen, burying the lower half of the body in the debris. Although severely bruised no serious injury was sustained.

Angling - Angling seems to be the chief sport of the town. Quite a number of bass have been caught during the last few weeks.

Improvements - A neat porch is being erected in front of the Exchange Hotel.

Repairs are progressing rapidly upon the Botetourt House.

Dr. Simmons has added an addition to his drug store; quite an improvement.

When completed Capt. Felix's store room will be one of the neatest in the Valley. Capt. F. is one of our most enterprising citizens. He will at an early day remodel and repaint the 'Burkhardt property.'

A party of ten or fifteen young men from Goose Creek valley, were in town fishing, this week. They were not very successful.

May 18, 1880. Zeka."
