Terry Shell So Badly Wounded by
Load From Shotgun That He Died
Friday Night-Funeral Sunday.
' i)ne of the saddest deaths in

at 8 p. m Friday night, January
2 when young Terry Shell de
parted this life in the prime of
fcis young manhood.
On Wednesday night, New

him. All that devotion and
tenderness could do, toi>. thsr
with the best medical skill, t. jld
avail, the work of his iife was
fci, ied and his Master called him
k me to receive the promised
reward for faithfulness until
death. He was ever faithful to
his God and to his church. He
spent the better part of his last
Christmas day in going around
lover the town, with others, to
i deliver packages of Christmas
I gifts to tnose who are not as
I comfortably provided for. He
I was heard to remark on his re-
I tarn home that it was the happi-
I est Christmas Day of his life.
■ He was President of the Ba
I raca class of the Methodist
I Church, and was a faithful at-
I tendant at Sunday School and all
■ the services of the church. As
■ his nastor so touching y remarK
le' noted the bright smile
I which Terry welcomed the

I unday night before. He met!
P. ith others at the church on
If Wednesday evening where he
■ joined in the song service, and
I by appointment rang the church
I bell at midnight to welcome in
I £he New Year, and the accident

and the Community Says Amen
and Amen.
Lexington, N. C.
Dec. 30, 1913;
Mr. A. K. Joy. Sec.,
Chamber of Commerce,
Hickory, N. C.
Dear Mr. Joy:
lam a Presbyterian, but I
want to congratulate your town
on securing Rev. A. L. Stanford
as pastor of the First Methodist
Church, because he is a big ad
dition to Hickory or any other
community.
Mr. Stafford served the Me
thodist church of Lexington for
four years and he did more good
in Lexington in that length of
time than has ever been done bv
any other preacher in the same
of time. He is not only
the most popular pastor Lexing
ton ever had, but he is popular
with all the churches, with
everybody. You should go out
and shake hands with yourself
and congratulate yourself and
i che town on having such a good
and valuable minister of the gos
pel in your midst as Rev, A. L.
Stan lord, and as scon as your
people find him out there will
not be any vacant seats in his
church.
Mr. Stanford has no idea I am
writing you this, but 1 felt that
I should do it in justice to him
and you, because you love to
brag on anything that Hickory
possesses, and this is one po
ssession you have that you can
afford to brag about.
I trust that 1913 has been a
good year with you and that
1914 will be the happiest and
most prosperous in your history.
Very truly vours,
H. B. Varner.

, Historical Sketch of Baker's
Mountain.
The following sketch of what
is now known as Baker's Moun
tain was written for The Demo
crat by Col. G. M. Yoder, who is
now in his 88th year:
There are many traditionary
hi-torical incidents connected
with'the original names given to
v';at is inow known as Baker's
Mountain. The old pioneers,
Henery Wiedner, Conrad Yoder
and George Wiifong, who were
the founders and establishes of
the permanent t German settle
ments in the South Fork valley,
called it the Little Mountain. To
establish this fact by old grants
thatwehavfcin our possession,
we will give the following for
the benefit of readers and
for their consideration':
Conrad Yoder entered the first
land that ever was entered at
the foot of this mountain. He
laid three entries that embraced
515 acres at different times and
different dates. Conrad Yoder
laid'an entrv for 100 acres in
what was then Mecklenburg
County, beginning at a white
oak on the North side of Little
Mountain and runsS. 40 E. 127
poles to a chestnut; thence N. 50
E. 127 poles to a white oak;
tnence N. 40 W, 127 pojes to a
stake; thence to the beginning,
dated October, 1767. This entry
was run out 146 years ago, and
was 93 years before these lands
ever came into the possession of
the Bakers, and was entered 70
years before the Bakers came
into this nence could
not have been called Baker's
Mountain. And we have laid down
sufficient proof that its name
was List e Mountain, as these old
pioneers had named it. It was
known by that name for at least
80 years and three are now living
that call it by its original name
of Little Mountain. It has only
been known as Baker's Moun
tain for about 93years, the name!
being given it by the younger i
elass of people in honor of David j
Baker because he lived there
then. Conrad Yoder laid two
entries that joined the first
entry of 200 acres and each bear
tne following dates: The first
200 acres in what was then
Burke County, Mar, tT7B3; the
200 acres in what was then Lin
coln County, May, 1789.
Here an explanation is neces
sary to explain why these dif
ferent counties are named. When
Henery Wiedner, Conrad Yoder
and George Wilfong first settled
in South Fork valley it was then
known as Anson County and re
mained so until after 1762. For
on the 3rd day of December,
1762, when it was yet Anson
County, the first deed ever made
hv any person in the South Fork
valley was made by Henery
Wiedner to Conrad Yoaer for 200
acres of land. About the year
1764 it became Mecklenburg
County and remained so until
about the year 1768 when it be
came Trj on County. In 1777 it
oecame Burke County, in 1785
Lincoln County and in 1842 be
came known as Catawba Count}.
the present name
Conrad Yoder died about tU
year 17i)0 and these lands wei«
divided between his three son.-,
Eiias, Daniel and Adam. They
settled on it and when they sold
it about the year 182U it was still
known as the Little Mountain.
Then after their brother-in-law,
John Baker, bought these lands
and his son, David, moved there,
it was cailed Baker's Mountain.
These Yoders moved to Indi
ana. Sometime after Conrad
Yoder entered these lands, a
man named Mcßride entered the
whole mountain and after it was
surveyed was found to contain
over 1300 acres. Afterwards it
was called Mcßride's Mountain.
Ijt afterwards fell into the hands
of the McEntire heirs in Ruther
iord County and they filed a bill
in the court of equity in the year
1858 to have the mountain sold,
and an.order was made to sell it.
fhe clerk of that court sent the
proceedings, togetner with the
order and decree to G- M. Y oder,
v\ho was then clerk and n; aster
in equity for Catawba County,
to sell it at public auction, w Mich
was done, It brought $125,
about 3J cents per acre. He
then made his report to the clerk
and master in equity for Ruther
tord County under his hand and
seal of office, at the same time
reported in writing, certifying by
two good and responsible men
that it sold for a fair price. The
land was bid off by Peter Young,
and that was the last that was
heard of it until it got into the
hands of Judge Bynum, who had
it surveyed about 15 years ago
by J. W. Mouser, and divided it
into two shares between William
Whisnant and A. Y. Sigmon by
running the division line ovgr the
center and top of the mountain.
When these old pioneers and
their successors explored the
mountain, they found two larg a
rock piles at the northern end cf
the highest pinnacle of the
mountain that certainly had bee!:
collected and depositited there
by some human agency at som-*'
period. They found them nicely
laid and placed regularly, which
piles were about eight or ten
feet in length. Several year
after this discovery had beer:
made and the country begun to
be settled up, a squad was made
up to ascend the mountain with
shovels, spades and mattocks to
make some excavations. The
rock were all removed ano
thrown to another place, anc
digging was then performec
with the anticipation that a rich
treasure might be found, but al'
their work proved fruitless.
After that they came to the con
clusion that they were Indian
graves and this ended the excav
ation business.

Mr. Edwin Brush has the art

You think you recognize the
trick he is performing, and are
just ready to tell your n jxt-door
neighbor what is coming. When
something entirely different
happens—and you don't lay any
thing, Or else you see through
a trick perfectly. Yes, I saw
him put that watch rigl t there.
Just see if that ain't where it
comes from when he brings it
out again." But it doesn't.
Foiled again."
You learn a great man / things
that you never knew lefore at
one of Brush's performances
The only trouble with them is
that they ain't so. To see
Brush you infer that the cheap
est and easiest way to supply
oneself with handkerchiefs,
money, fruit, eggs and such
small articles is to haul ihem out
of the apparently empty air, not
even a dragnet being squired
for this peculiar fishing. Sau
sages and guinea-pigs seem to
find their chosen abidi ig place
in your ear or up your friends
coatsleeve. You are sure that
Brush is being killed in that
wicker basket right before your
eyes. He couldn't possibly get
out in any way.
And yet you are farther wrong
than was evei Mrs, Malaprop.
When you are able to see
i through Russo Japanese diplo
macy you may be able to catch
Brush napping.

Monday, December 15 wa9
Mrs. Edwina Chadwick's sixtieth
birthday and she, who adds so
much to the literary, the musical
and the social life of Hickory, is
much beloved and appreciated
among her own townfolk.
On this occasion she had many
many happy 'remembrances and
ever so many friends called
during the day.
The Hickory Book Club plan
ned a very attractive surprise
party, having invited about fifty
guests to meet with them and
make merry on this special an
niversary but owing to the death
of Dr. W. W. Wheeler, brother
of one of the members, the invi
tations were recalled and the
Rook Club only went over to
wish Mrs. Chadwick trood cheer.
Mrs. Chadwicks wonder and sur
prise grew with the arrival of
each guest, reaching its climax
when all were invited to the
dining room. Mr 3, Charles Men
zies, in her usual artistic way,
had prepared and arranged the
table. In the center of a large
oval mirrow was the beautiful
snow-white birthday cake stud
ded with little pink rosebuds
each holding a tiny candle and
around the mirrow half hidden
in galax leaves were many other
little pink candles, sixty in all,
gleaming and shimmering in
their own reflected light. As
each guest cut a slice of cake
they drew one of Mrs. Jim Mar
tin's exceedingly clever and
original witticisms, causing each
one in turn to exclaim we see
ourselves as others see us!
May Mrs. Chadwick enjtoy
many more snch happy oc
casions.

the most successful comedies of
today. Mr. Manners has proven
that purity, simplicity and sweet
ness are preferable on the stage
as well as in every day life.
After a discussion of current
events the guests were invited
into the dining room, which was
particularly lovely in its Irish
aecorations. The color scheme
green and white being carried
out by the fragrant narcissus
which filled the cut glass bowl in
the center of the table, sur
rounded by a profusion of simlax
and minature green frogs, and
lighted with numerous green
candles with shamrock shades.
A four course menu was then
served with Irish covers laid for

beautifully expressed in each
course. The cakes and sand
wiches were cut with little sham
rock cutters, moulded ices with
