There were about 21 persons baptized by the Rev. J. F. McDuffie, pas tor of Mt. Moriah church, as the result of a protracted meeting held by him at this church last month. After the baptizing the large congregation moved off to ward the church, making a pro cession over a mile in length, consisting of buggies, carriages, wagons and some walking. The church was overly crowded and two or three times as many more were on the outside. The large grove was filled with vehicles and horses. The Rev. McDuffie preached a very fine sermon.

This road is known as the Roxboro road, and for some time the matter of extend ing this road to the county limits has engaged the attention of the county commissioners.

O'Briant. - An effort is being made to or ganize a state league of base ball players, and it is very likely that Durham will be one of the lea gue. Ernest C Landgraf was here one day this week in the in terest of such an organization, and felt sure when he left here that the Durham people interest ed in this kind of sport would not ; fr.i! to Vcure n worthy toani for M. W. THOMPSON KILLED. Found Dead Sear Funsion Lnst Tugs- day M&!it and Brcagti! (o Durham. A dead body was found near Funston siding on the Southern Railway last Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning and brought to Durham and turned over to the county coroner. There was nothing on his person to identify him, and he was given over to an undertaker. Later the body was identified and it proved to be M. W. Thompson, who held a position in Edgemont cotton mill. It was also learned that he had been on a spree ior several aays, also that his wife and several children were on a visit to relatives at Hillsboro. The indicationsare that Thomp son was under the influence of whiskey and started to Hillsboro, where his wife and children were, becoming tired he conclud ed he would rest and took a seat on the end of the cross ties and fell asleep. There is some talk that he was murdered and placed on the railroad in order that there should be no suspicion, but there is little evidence of a di rect nature to bear this theory out. It i3 not known definitely which train on the Southern struck him. As stated above Thompson was a married man and leaves a wife and six children. The fun eral and burial took place Wed nesday afternoon from the home, and the burial took place at the Medlin burying ground about two miles East of the city. HE DRANX LAUDANUM. last For Beam of Mrs. W. B. Dnnn. After a lingering illness during which friends and relatives did everything possible for relief, Mrs. W. B. Dunn died at her home on Vickers Avenue Wednesday about noon, some time death had been pected by those attending bedside, yet when the end cane it was a shock to them. Mrs. Dunn was 29 years of age and had been a resident of Dur ham for more than a year, com ing here with her husband frcm Rocky Mount. She left a hus band, mother, three sisters ar.d two brothers. The funeral was conducted from the home Thursday after noon by Rev. V. C. Barrett, pas tor of the Second Baptist church, after which the interment took place in Maplewood cemetery. Big State Fair. As the time draws near the committees of the Virginia State Fair Association are renewing activities in making preparations for the State Fair which will be held October 7th to 12th, inclus ive. It is the intention to mak ing this fair even a greater suc cess than was last year's fair, and the plans to that end are well on the way to completion. The Advertising Committee has placed contracts for aplan of nubucity which will cover Virfinia and the contiguous, ter ritorv fully. Newspapers, both daily and weekly, billboards, pos ters, hangers and dodgers have been arranged for, and in a short time the public will be fully ad vised as to the features of Vir einia's forthcoming greatest fair. Ten thousand dollars is being expended on grounds and build ings, and wonaenui improve ments are being made over last year. The promise of the direct ors that everything should be in shioshaDe for the Fair of 1907 will be carried out to the letter, and nothing will be lacking, to nrovide amusement, instruction and opportunity fnr a iwiiUMr Hiiey Campbell Attempts to End His Lite -No Reason Assigned. Just why a man should attempt to end his life will never be ex plained nor will it be understood why people will go about it in so many different kind of ways. Such is true of the case of Huey Campbell, who, last Tuesday af ternoon drank the contents of a bottle of laudanum. The medicine was drank by Campbell during work hours, while he was at work at the Dur ham Marble Works, and some of the employes at this establish ment, seeing what he had done, saved him from a sleep of death by calling a physician and later by doing all in their power to help him work off the effects of the drug. A stomach pump was used and the efforts of friends and the attending physician soon revived Campbell and he was all right again. Mr. Campbell has been a resi dent of Durham for some years and i3 well known here. He is a faithful employe, and no reason can be assigned why he should desire to end his earthly exis tence. MM A Beautiful Window. The Memorial window just placed in the. Methodist church by General J. S. Carr, of Dur ham, in memory of his father and mother, the late John Wes ley and Elizabeth Pannell Carr, is one of the most beautiful memorial windows to be found. The picture in the centre repre senting Ruth and Boaz in a wheat field is very pretty indeed. The window is a very costly one and adds beauty to the church. It was put together by Mr. V. S- M. Meldrum, of York, Pa., who is an artist and designer of things beautiful. Chapel Hill News. Census Reports.
