On last May, 12 months, I took the work of building up a church at Rock Grove, under very dark and opposing conditions, and some encouraged the work, while others said it would never be a success. However, after much meditation and prayer I decided to enter into the work, which was not very pleasant at first, notwithstanding the monthly congregations continued to grow ait the while, and now. I think the out4 look is very bright for the child church of the Flat River association. On last Friday closed the revival service, which resulted in the addition of seven Members, and I can say that was never more gratified than to Have Rev. B. D. Thames to aid tne in the meeting and the in fluence of his preaching will go n down through tho history ' of the church and will put in motion wave of praise to our .God. ro. Thames now has a stronz field in Virginia, but I think that he is inclined toward the Old North State, and let some of the "jrth I'umlir.a ihurchea i he umoren's my exercises begins at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Redmountain. The public is invited. Inrtua, RoBti S. S. T. Jones, who cut his foot sometime ago, has suffered a re lapse from the wound and been in a critical condition, but is im proving again.

Hester has been right sick for the last few days. Crops are looking unusually well through this section, con sidering the late spring, but are needing rain at present. Killed by a Train. Last Saturday morning early as John wiikms, age 3, was walking along the Seaboard Air Line track he stepped off upon the Southern track to get out of the way of a train. In doing so he did not notice that another train was coming on the South- em track and stepped immed iately in front of the local freight on the Southern. The result was that before anything could be done, he was struck by the engine and knock ed against a mile post The engineer cave every signal he could, but those that saw the ac cident said that Mr. Wilkins ap peared to pay no attention to them, possibly thinking they came from the train he saw. Death resulted at once. The remains .were prepared for burial and the interment took place Sunday, afternoon Mr. Wilkins left a wife and three children, and those thai knew him said he was a hard working, industrious man. Many professions are reported from the tent meetings that are in progress in the Northern par of the city, and much good is being accomplished. News was received in the city last week-of the marriage in Washington City of Miss Bessie Phipp? to Mr. J. H. Fender, of that city. Miss Thipps formerly made this city her home and was a sis- that U r tf J. J. Phirri of this city. Read the change of ad of Miss Katie L. Johnson in this issue. The mayor held three sessions of court Monday to accommodate offenders that came in late to air their troubles. Dr. J. T. McCracken and bride have arrived in the city and are now at home to their friends at their residence on East Trinity avenue. The New Baptist church in North Durham was dedicated st Sunday afternoon and or ganization perfected. Appro priate services were held Sunday afternoon and night. , Steward Coley, age 25 years, died at his home on Ramseur street Monday afternoon, after lingering illness. The inter ment took place in Maplewood cemetery this afternoon, the funeral being conducted by Rev, T. A. Smoot. : v- i A runaway engine on ' the Southern railway was stopped by Yardman Satterwhite one day ast week -which averted a col ision with a passenger train. Just how the engine came to be moving is not known to any the railroad, men here. L. A. Vickers, who is well known in Durham, died Monday about noon. Acute gastritis was the cause o! his death. He is survived by a mother, a wife and nine children. The burial took place Tuesday afternoon at the home of his mother, on the Fayetteville road at 3 o'clock. The Durham firemen are at tending the Firemen's Tourna ment at . Wilmington this week, and it goes without saying that they will have a good time, and here's hoping that they will win some of the prizes in the contests that will take place. Lonnie Saunders was struck by . tm a tram on tne &eaooara roaa Monday afternoon. He was un der the influence of whiskey and seemed to pay no attention to alarm from the . engineer. He was brought up town after the accident and.the attending phy- sician did 'not think he was seriously hurt The remains of Mrs. E. J. Brown, who died at her home in Petersburg last week, reached Durham last Saturday afternoon and the interment took place at Maplewood cemetery. Mrs. Brown made Durham her home for a number of years and was well known here. She was the mother of P. A. and H. J. Brown of this city. Officers from High Point came here last Saturday and served papers on John Andrews, whose home is in this county, lor se duction. He arranged a bond of $1,500 for his appearance at Guilford court and the officers returned to their home withou him. The facts in the case wil doubtless be brought out at the trial. THE JAMESTOWN VISITOR. If persons who anticipate a visit to the Jamestown Expost tion will write to Miss Eliza A McGill, publisher of "The James town Visitor,' 141 Plume street, Norfolk, Va., they can learn of first-class stopping places in the best neighborhoods of Norfolk and vicinity where lodging and breakfast can be had for $1.00, $1.23. or $1.50. Miss McGill wil also be glad to meet visitors on orrival and escort them to places where they will be thoroughly comfortable during their visit to the city. J. F. Harward Elected Sheriff. The session of the county com missioners this weel; has been an important one for many reasons. , The first reason is that hey had to select a man to fill he unexpired term of the late Sheriff . Markham. There were three candidates for the position Messrs. LB. Markham,-J. J. Thaxton and John F. Harward. After the vote wa3 taken Mr. Harward was declared elected. Another matter of importance acted upon by' the board was the etting of a contract for an iron bridge over Ellerbe creek near he home place of Mr. Fred Geer. . This contract was award ed to an'Atlanta firm and work is to begin as early as possible. After allowing accounts and ooking to other matters per taining to the welfare of the county, the board will adjourn for the term, as there is no other matters of special public import ance to come up at this meeting. : Struck by Street Car. Hubert Dupree, son of W. R. Dupree, was badly hurt by be- . . mg strucK by a street car last Friday. , It was one of those ac cidents that no effort could have saved him after the(danger was in sight The boy who is only 12 years of age, was on a wagon loaded with lumber, which was standing off the side of the track when the car was approaching. He stepped off the wagon on the track jast in f rent of the mov ing car. In a moment he was struck by the car and the fender saved hira from going down un der the wheels. He was carried to the hospital, where it was found that both bones in his right leg just below the knee were broken. At last accounts he was getting along as well as could be expected, the leg being the only wound of a serious nature, the other wounds being only bruises from coming in contact with the car.
