At her home on the 14th, Mrs.
Susan G. Cates, wife of J. T.
Cates, departed this life. Mrs.
Gates was born November 12th
1831, and was married on the
2Xh of February, 1851. Mrs.
Catci was confined to her ted
most all the time for three and
one half years and was helpless
a great part of the time. But as
she had a tender and devoted
husband and a multitude of
friends she did not lack for the
very best attention, and if she
could now. speak out from the
mansions above in her natural
voice, what praise ano apprecia
tion she , would express from a
loving heart to those loved ones
and friends.
Mrs. Cates was a member of
Mt. Zion Methodist church and
was faithful to attend until her
hearing become impaired and
her health gave way. However,
she did not neglect her prayers
and was ever faithful to her
Bible and to her God.
On one occasion this scribe had
the pleasure of asking her if she
loved Jesus and I never saw a
brighter or more heavenly ex
pression light up ones counte
nance and her eyes were drowned
in tears, and I will never forget
that look of her eyes betokened
in praise of Him whose blood had
cleansed her soul from sin and;
then she began to relate her!
sweet experience of her Christian
life.how she had tried to honor
and serve the Lord, the one that
she loved and delighted in more
than all earth combined. Mrs.
Cates often spoke of her only
angel child that preceeded her to
the glory world in infancy, and
she was perfectly resigned to go
and be with her darling child.
Her life proved that there were
angelic visitors near by waiting
to conduct her home. She saw
her chariot and death approach
ing but she feared them not as
her room was bright and full of
angels and she went from her
bed of intense sufferings to a
bright and shining crown, to
sing with Jesus who had folded
her dear child in His arms.
To her friends, loved ones and
dear husband, weep not for her,
but prepare to meet her and your
God some day.

The driver of the wagon drove
his team on the track just as the
train was in a few yards of the
crossing and before the engineer
could do anything towards stop
ping the train, the wagon was
struck and the negro man was
thrown out and bruised up con
siderably. No one seemed to

before any of the railroad men
had time to question him. He
was evidently not hurt very much
as he walked away and no one
knew what direction he took.

City Board of Bealtb.
The city aldermen held a
lengthy session last Monday;
night. The most important mat
ter was the report of the com
mittee of health appointed at a
previous meeting, which recom
mended the following:
"1. That acommitteeon health
be created.
"Z That the committee on
health's created, to-wit: Mayor,

spection. "3. That the board of health

He Wore a False Beard.
For some time reports have
been coming from West Durham
that some man out in the woods
near that place was selling whis
key and when witnessess were
questioned they were unable to
tell from whom they purchased
their booze. Efforts to get in
formation to cause the arrest of
anyone have proved futile.
Last Sunday officer Joe Pleas
ants went out to the woods
where it was reported that the
whiskey was being sold. It was
not long before ho located his
man, but when he approached
the guilty man took to his heels
and a chase followed. However,
he landed his man and a trial
was had Monday and Will Payne
was bound over to court in a
bond of $200, which he could not
give and was locked up. The
reason Payne could not be re
cognized was due to the fact that
while selling whiskey he wore a
false beard, and when the days'
business was over he would re
turn home with the beard mis
sing. When he was caught and
the beard removed the officer re
alized that ' he had captured a
man well known to them as an
;clJ effendcr.
