OWNER OF OLD BIBLE WAS KILLED AT CEDAR CREEK It is Supposed That Same Bullet That Pierced The Bible Ended its Own er's Life Account Given Below From Soldier's Home Town Paper. In the October the first issue of The Courier appeared a story about an old bullet pierced Bible which had been picked up on the battlefield at Cedar Creek, Va., by Mr. P. S. Brown, of this county. The name of the one who carried this sacred treas ure, no doubt in many battles, was found written in the book. Copies of The Courier were sent to the Sher burne News, Sherburne, N. Y., the postoffice address given in the Bible. A copy of this paper has been receiv ed containing the following: "The soldier whose Bible was pick ed up on the Cedar Creek battlefield, as mentioned in the Asheboro (N. C.) Courier of October the first, was Wes ley W. Wakely, whose name is among those honored by a place on the sol diers' monument on the Sherburne public square, and who was killed at the battle of Cedar Creek, and it may be by the same bullet that pierced the dole. II any ot our readers can iden tify the Miss Eliza R. Hatch, we will be pleased to publish the facts, that her friends may know what became of the Bible that over half a century ago sne gave to Wesley that he might have the sacred volume with him in camp life. Wesley was a good Clu's tian and no doubt derived much co-.- fort in the reading of the keepsake given him by Miss Hatch. A peculiar coincidence relating to these facts is, that a sister of Wesley's married a man by the name of Brown, and de scendants are now residing in Sher burne, who will be glad to have this souvenir of the war in their poses sion, we have no doubt. FEES OF COrXTY OFFICERS RE- DICED The Republican speakers in this county, it is said, are telling the peo ple that they will have the fees of the county officials reduced. Why, bless your life, these sneakers are neither honest nor intelligent, for the fees of the county officials have been reduced in accordance with the promises and pledges of the Demo cratic county platform of two years ago. The begining was made at the top and Sheriff Birkhead's fees for col lection of taxes were cut nearly one- fourth. A deep cut was made in the fees of the Clerk of the Superior Court. All fees paid by the county clerk were cut out. This alone is a saving of nearly six hundred dollars a year in the Clerk's office. There was an equal amount cut out of the office of the Register of Deeds, and the deepest cut made was in the Treasurer's office. In that office near ly one-third of the fees were trimmed off. And vou mav rest assured that these fees will nit be put back for the new candidates for county commis sioners are pledged to this reduction. Mr. Scarboro. one of the candidates, for commissioner, was on the commit tee with the county commissioners, who reduced the fees. THE COUNTY CANDIDATES While the Democratic party is ac customed to nominate only good men in this county, it always nominates clean and honest men for every posi tion, and this year there is presented not only a srood man for every place on the ticket, but the ticket not only anneals to the people because it is composed of the best of men with clean lives and correct records, but the candidates are personally very nonular where they are known and they are making a fine campaign and making friends every day. PLANT FALL CROPS OF GRAIN This is the concensus of advice of al leading agricultural authorities for this season. Plant all the wheat you possibly can, for, matter what the out come of the war, wheat will be good property, and it is possible under cer tain conditions, that it may be ex tremely valuable. Also, put in as heavy a crop of oats as you can. It: is one of the standard feeds for live stock, and by all means a heavy crop should be made. Meat of all sorts is rapidly rising and the war is making a strong market for horses, so any thing that live stock can eat is valu able. The South, as a whole, has never realized the profit in grain, on account of specializing in other crops, such as cotton end tobacco, but there is land on almost every farm which is suitable or can very easily be made suitable for grain, and this is the time of all times to begin the profita ble practice of putting in a good fall grain crop. LIBERTY BOOK CLUB Mrs. Wade Hardin was hostess Thursday afternon to the Liberty Book Club. All the officers and most of the members were present. Fi?st came the business session and exchange of books, after which the guests pleas antly engaged in conversation. Late summer flowers, such as the graceful cosmos and beautiful roses added to the brightness of the occa sion. Just before the ladies departed they were served cream and cake. DEATH OF MR. J. W. STEED Prominent Citizen of Montgomery County and Well Known in Ashe boro Died Sunday Night Mr. Joseph W- Steed, of Steeds, Montgomery county, died Sunday night at the Charlotte Sanatorium after several weeks illness.

He wis taken suddenly ill about a month ago and was carried to the hnanitai for treatment but nothing could be done. His condition was so that he gradually sank until the end came. About twenty-five years ago Mr. Steed joined the M. E. church at As bury under Presiding Elder Sharp's preaching. The pastor at that time was Rev. Mr. Woosley. Mr. Steed was a kindhearted man and bore the name of never letting any one go away empty handed if they were really in need. H will be miibeci in tne community where he lived.
