Succeu-A D!.tro.lD( Accident UeUIU Mr. U D. llradley Lr. CUrk Performs a Delicate Operation. Correspondence of The Messenger. Mr. Harry Salsbury, one of the brightest young men who ever went out from our town "to breast the rude storms of a busy world " was the recipient lately of a hand some compliment from his fellow railroad men, having been voted a prize as th; most popular flagman on this section of the Southern Railway at a railroad picnic held near Waynesvillc. At the same time Capt. R. E. Simpson carried off the honors voted to the most popular conductor. "Ed" Simp son is as well known here as he is universally liked. This section is still suffering from lack of rain and should knot come soon "roughness" will be short. A new departure In the domain of street fakirs was wUnessed on our streets last night when one of these delectable gentry combined preaching the Gospel with the sale of his medicines; and, strange to relate, he had not only hearers but purchasers. Mr. Lonnie Finch, one of Old Fort's cleverest young men, now clerking in Asheville, is spending sometime recuperating at the home of his worthy parents. As there is some misunderstand ing about the date of services in St. Gabriel's Episcopal church in this place, I am requested to state that the regular visit of the rector, Rev. C. J. Wingate, is on the sec ond Sunday in each month; so he will officiate here on Sunday next morning at 11 o'clock and even ing at 7:45; and a cordial invita tion is extended to all our people. Many friends of Miss Connie Curtis, now a resident of Reading, Pa., will be pleased to know that she is succeeding admirably in her chosen profession of trained nurse. In a recent competition for the best article on "Tubercle Bacilli" (the germs of consumption) for prizes offered by the Nursing World, of New York, Miss Curtis' article took one of the prizes. Old Fort has cause to be proud of her sons and daughters in all sections. Quite a distressing accident be fell Mr. L. D. Bradley on Saturday last: in opening a cask of lard scales from the hoop flew into one of his eves, causing much suffering and some impairment of vision; this, however, it is thought and hoped is only temporary. Dr. Clark is rendering all assistance possible to medical skill. On Monday last Dr. W. W. Clark performed a delicate and rather unusual operation quite success fully, in the removal of a diseased eye of Mr. Kane Davis. This had been giving trouble for sometime and for fear that it might cause entire blindness, Dr. Clark decided it must come out. The custom has greatly obtained in our county of sending patients to Richmond or Atlanta for such operations, and I am glad to note that our town has a M. D. capable and skilled in such work. Sidney. Old Fort, Sept. 8th. A Wild Kunaway. On last Saturday, Misses Edger ton and Whitesides, who have been visiting at Dr. Cheeks, were out driving. The horse became fright ened and ran away, throwing them out near the depot, just as the buggy turned over and the horse broke loose from it. Had the horse not been separated from the buggy they likely would have been much injured. Miss White sides sustained a number of pain ful bruises, but no serious injury. The other young lady was slightly hurt. Ieath of Mr. Theodore I'lemmlng. Mr. Theodore Flemming, a 20 year-old son of Mr. T. J. Flem ming, died recently of fever and was buried in the Carson grave yard on Buck Creek last Tuesday. Very many of the friends and neighbors gathered. The funeral was conducted by the pastor of the Presbyterian church. In this grave yard, which is now the bury ing ground for Carson's chapel, is buried that brilliant, able states man of the olden time, United States Senator Samuel P. Carson.

"She was not to the purple born, yet she was our queen. Her king dom was her home." The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. James B. Weaver oc curred at her home near Marion early Friday morning, Sept. 3, 1897. Permit me, who esteemed Mrs. Weaver very highly, to give this tribute of affection to her memory, and also to tender my heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family at home and to the three children in the far West who do not yet know of their great loss. Mrs. Weaver was fifty years of age and a consistent member of the Methodist Church. Her maiden name was Maggie Harrelson, daughter of T. J. and Mary Har relson, of Blairsville, Ga. She was happily married to Mr. James B. Weaver, of North Carolina, 33 years ago, and leaves a husband and 12 children to mourn her death. She was sick only a few days. It is hard to realize that the devoted wife, the loving mother, a truly home-queen, is gone to return no more. We yearn for the sound of thv footsteps 'Mill the k'loom that hans starless and drear; We lift up our eyes in the seeming; That thou, darling mother, art here." Family and friends bear loving testimony of her devoted, chris tian character. Distinguished not less for her great good sense and force of character than for warm heartedness and geniality, s'te was greatly beloved and will be widely mourned. She had told her chil dren several times lately that her mission on earth would soon be ended, and God. who seeth not as man, saw that her work was fin ished and called her home. "Not now, hut In the coming years. It may be in the Better Land, We'll read the meaning of our tears. And tliere, sometime, we'll understand." While our hearts go out in lov ing sympathy to the afflicted fam ily, we feel that Jesus alone can comfort the sorrowing hearts and time alone can heal the breach which death hath made. "Her children rise up and call her blessed. "Mother, would we call thee back again? Again to know lite s suffering and pain? To leave the blessed Savior and his love? Take upearth'scross.la v down the jovs above " 'Tis hard to struggle on without thy love. Though sweet to think how blest thou art above; It seems a weary, weaiy time to wait. But joy will hail our meeting, ho wtver late." MMrs. Weaver was the mother of is. E. B. Baber, of Lattimore, N. C; Mrs. Ernest Davis, of Forest City, N.C , and Mrs. Carles Bright, of Springfield, Mo. Mrs Jxo. D. Carlton. Marion, N. C, Sept. 7, 1897. the Marlon Institute. The third session of Marion In stitute has begun with a larger en rollment and better prospects than ever before. The grade of the pupils shows a decided and grati fying elevation. There is a large class in Latin, a smaller class in French, and quite a number of music scholars. Moreover, there seems to be a much greater ambition among the pupils and zed for advancement, and consequently less occasion for severe discipline. This interest can be fostered and intensified if the p: rents of the children will co operate with the teachers, espe cially by encouraging study at home and by occasionally visiting the academy. Let the parents at least see to it that their children shall be regular and punctual in their attendance. Education worth having is gained by daily attendance at school and if the children are sent regularly the teachers can in almost every instanre guarantee satisfactory re sults, and not otherwise. J.
