At the close of thi meeting the members were invited to the home of Dist. Depnty "Grand Chan cellor M. G. Flanigan, not knowing what waa in store for them. A sumptuous oyster sapper with celery and coffee had been provided and waa delightfully served by Mesdames Goodman, Sam T. Johnston and M. G. Flanigan. About twenty mem bers enjoyed the feast and were "filled" with—gratitude. Mr. William A. Rich Found Dead. Early last Friday morning the dead body of Mr. William A. Rich of this place was found on the road between Graham and Belle mont. It wai on ghe upper road by- Mr. Lewis H. Holt's farm, and was about one and a half miles from the latter place. So far as known, Mr. W. T. Ezell, who lives here and is superintendent of the Belle mont Mills, was the first to see him. Going over early in the mornltag, he passed the body be fore it was good daylight, but did not know vho it was. Without giving any alarm he told Mr. Jas. B. Rich what he had seen and they went back in Mr. EzelPn bug gf to investigate. Both looked, but neither knew who it was. A few minutes later Mr. Jas. H. Rich took out the dead man's watch, and then it was that he discovered it was his own brother. The afternoon before Mr. Rich had gone out to disinfect the resi dence of Mr. Tom Harden, about two miles southwest of this place, and appeared to have been return ing by the upper road. Whether he died suddenly (he had not been feeling well) or whether the horse he was driving became frightened and threw him out is not known. ! It was nearly a mile from where his hat was found to the place where his body was found, and the condition of his clothing indicated that he had* been dragged most of that distance. The horse and bug tgy came home to the livery Btable about nine o'clock and some boys at the stable put it up without saying anything about it, as there appeared to be nothing wrong save a broken line. Mrs. Rich felt ■no uneasiness, for Mr. sich being |aD undertaker was frequently call ed away and would not get home till morning. The news of his death was a great shock to the entire community. Mr. Rich'was an expert embalm er and undertaker, one of the lead ing members of his profession In State. He was bora in this county May 30, 1807. He was kind-hearted, generous and obliging almost to a fault. He had no enemies and bnrboied no malice. He is' surviv ed by his widow and five small children—three boys and two girls; his parents, Mr. and Mm. Henry M. Rich, both eighty or past; one brother, Mr. Jas. H. Rich and three sisters, Mrs. Luther Cheek, Mrs. J. Heenan Hawks and Miss Lou Rich. The funeral was conducted Sun dav afternoon from his late resi dence by Rev. Geo. L. Curry, as sisted by Dr. E. C. Murray and Rev. R. G. L. Edwards, and the in terment was with very impressive Pythian and Masonic honors. A large number of Pythians and Ma sons came from Burlington and Haw River and assisted the looal lodges. The floral tributes were carried and placed on the grave by Mrs. Rich's music pupils. Mr. Rich was well known throughout the county, and hun dreds came to pay a last tribute to his memory. It was perhaps the most largely attended funeral ever witnessed in Graham. The relatives have the sincere sympa thy of a host of friends in their great bereavement. Among those in attendance from a distance were Mrs. Rich's broth er, Prof. P. L. McCoy of Gaines ville, Ga., and her brother-in-law, Mr, J. N. King of Rochelle, Ga. John Holt, Colored, Dies Suddenly. A few minutes after eight o'clock yesterday morning John Holt, col ored, of this place was found dead in his barn He had gone to milk his cow while his .wife prepared the breakfast. He stayed so long that she went after him and to her horror she found him dead. He had fed the cow and appeared to be about to begin milking, when he dropped back in the corner of the stall. It is believed he died from a stroke of apoplexy. John was about 35 years of age, was a barber by trade and had built for himself a comfort able home. —Oranges lc. apiece or '4oc. a peck at J. T.

Not So Far That the State ments of its Residents Cannot be Verified. 7\ Rather an interesting case hat been developed in Elon' College. Being so near by, it la well worth publishing here. The statement it sincere—the proof convincing: Levi B. Tickle of Elon College, N. C., says: "For many years I was afflicted with kidney trouble, the pains in the small of my back being quite severe. My back ach ed intensely at night, was lame In the morning and bothered me when 1 stooped to lift anything. I tired easily, telt languid and nervous and I had dlrzy spells du ring which my sight became badly blurred. Three or four timet every night I'bad to get up to pass the kidney secretions and pass the kidney secretions and there waa sediment in them. I lost SS pounda in weight and had about given up all hopes of recov ering when Dona's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. In fcrar or five daya they relieved me.*' For sals by all dealers.
