He was the last of his immediate family, not leaving a brother or sister. The funeral services will be conducted from his home this afternoon and the interment will take place in the family burying ground, close by the old home place. Mr. Browning had a large number of friends and relatives who mourn on account of his death. Mr. Bcckitth Dies. Mr. J. S.

Bradshaw, pastor of Memorial Methodist church. The contracting parties were Mr. J. Dameron Woods and Miss Daisy Salmon. Rev. Mr. Bradshaw officiated. It was not a runaway affair, so the friends of parties say, but it was the desire of the young people to have a quiet marriage and this method was adopted. Only a few of the friends of the couple were present. The groom is the son of Mr. E. A. Woods (and a well known young man. The bride is a popular young woman and is well connected in this city. They have taken rooms at the home of Mr. W. T. Green for the present ana will make their home there until they go to keeping house. HOGAN-WILLIAMS. Late Sunday afternoon close to night, Rev. W. C. Barrett, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was called to officiate in the mar riage of a couple from Chapel Hill section Mr. H. M.Williams and Miss Ella Hogan. The mar riage was at the home of Mr. Nichols on Vickers avenue, a mutual friend. While this had the appearance of being a runaway affair it was a simply walk off. The groom has been married before and was certainly old enough and the bride is 2G years of age. For some reason they decided to come over here and marry in this quiet way. The groom is the son of Police man Williams, this city, and the bride is a daughter of Mr. Wil liam llojran. who lives near Chard Hill. They both have many relatives and numerous friends in this section. - Edward Hcrtcn Pardoned. Governor Glenn has pardoned Edward Ilorton who was sen tenced to the penitentiary for nine years. Ilorton is the the negro that was accused of rob bing Reuben Barbee and has served three years and a half of the sentence. In granting the p-ird n Governor Glenn had the following to say; "I do not believe this defend- : v.llo where he had been s and i guilty.

Governor Glenn Otters Rewards of $50 tacn tor Van Ray and Charles Merrltt. Governor Glenn has offered $50 reward for the arrest of Van Ray and Charles Merritt, both charged with murder in this city. The crime of Van Ray is fami liar to our readers: She met Rena Bumpass on the streets on Saturday night, October 30th, and proceeded to use her razor, the result being that the Bum pass woman died in less than an hour. The Ray woman made her escape and the efforts of the offi cers to arrest her have proved fruitless. Upon representation of the authorities the governor now offers a reward of $50 for her arrest and the officers are of the opinion that this will help matters out. The case of Charles Merritt, who came over from Chapel Hill and broke open the house of his wife and cut her with a razor was told in a recent issue of The Recorder. He made his escape before the woman died, and since the death the officers have been especially alert after him, but have failed. A reward of $50 is offered for his arrest also. This should put people to work that othewise feel little interest in such matters and both these murderers should soon be landed in jail. From Roxbora, Route S. Corn shucking will soon be over in this community, and most of the farmers are making good crops considering the dry year. Three of Mr. Thomas Wilker son's children have scarlet fever, and I trust that they will recover soon. Measles recently broke out among Miss Hettie Roger's pu pils and some seem to be dodging the disease, while others are of the opinion that it is best for their children to have the meas les while young. On Saturday before the second Sunday a young man walked fourteen miles to invite me to preach at Frasier school house on the second Sunday, and I ac cepted his invitation by filling the appointment. I didn't have the seats alone to preach to as the house was over full. The political storm is now fast abating and as the president and our governor has been elected we hope that our finances will not be further disturbed or af fected. I am becoming more and more delighted and pleased with myi congregations at Hurdles Miils j The people seem to be apprecia-j tive and are among the up-to-date ! class of people. j On the 1.1th at about midnight, i Ihad a very serious misfortune! or loss as my other horse died of j blind-stagger.:, and some are of the opinion that he contracted! the disease from the one that; died some time ago, by standing; in the same stall. Both of the j horses were old, which might1 have had something to do with their condition. I am afraid that I will never own another horse that will suit me like old George. In connection I will mention the fact that Messrs. W. A. Barton and C. II. Tapp rendered every aid that they could for his relief. 1 will also say that I never lived in a neighborhood where the peo ple were more ready to help those that try to help them selves. Roper.
