Thursday nlffht two or threa po
licemen were attempting to arrest John
Taylor, colored, when the negro made
a murderous assault upon Officer Whlt
tlngton, striking him a severe blew on
the arm with a small section of gas
pipe. The blow was aimed at Mr.
Whittingtoh's head and had he net
warded It ofT with his arm it would
doubtless have proved serious. After
striking the policeman the negro ran
MrWhlttlngton firing at hlm.twlce.
Taylor was finally captured and locked
up, and when the next term of Superior
court convenes he will be called upon
to answer a serious charge that of
resisting an officer. He will doubtless
fill a place on the county road force for
a good long term.
A Bad Death.
Mrs. O. F. Cox died at her home six
miles southwest of Greensboro, In the
Hill Top neighborhood, last-Thursday
night. She had been la a feeble state of
health for some time, though she had.
been confined to her room only a week.
A peculiar sadness is attached to this
dispensation of providence, for In the
death of Mrs. Cox her family, which
has recently been sorely afflicted, Is
left In a pitiable condition. Her hus
band, who only a few short months ago
was in the possession of all his facul
ties, Is hopelessly Insane, with no pros
pects of an early recovery. The once
happy home Is thus made desolate to
the four children who are left to face
life's battles alone. -
Mrs. Cox was the daughter of Mr.
Henry Ledbetter, of Julian, and was
forty-four years old. She was a woman
of education andy refinement and hsd a
large number of true friends. For
many years she had been a member of
the Methodist Protestant church. The
remains were interred at Shlloh M. P.
church, near Julian, Saturday after
noon. We learn that the husband and chil
dren will be cared for by the parents
of the deceased, who will move to Mr.
Cox's farm at Hill Top. Efforts have
been made to have Mr. Cox treated at
the state hospital for the insane at
Morganton, but the over-crowded con
dition of the institution makes it im
possible for him to be received there.
Transferred to Heaven.
Mrs. Betty Elizabeth Stewart, whose
serious illness we noted last week, died
at the residence of her son, Mr. M. C.
Stewart, on East Washington street,
shortly after 11 o'clock Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Stewart was born on Octo
ber 8th, 1832, and was the daughter of
the late Marshall and Elizabeth Mc
Lean, of this county. She was married
to Mr. John W.Stewart on October 8th,
I860, with whom she lived happily un
til the death of Mr. Stewart last Feb
ruary. This union was blessed by the
birth of five children, three of whom
are living Messrs. Charles M.Stewart
of Gibson county, Tenn.; J. Ed. Stew
art, of Charlotte, and M. C. Stewart, of
this city. In addition to these two
brothers Messrs, Emsley N. MoLean
of Carroll county, Tenn., and James M.
McLean, of this county are left to
mourn her death. ' .
Mrs. Stewart's illaess dated from
early In the spring of this year. After
the death of her husband she accom
panied her son to his home In west
Tennessee, visiting him and her brother
until about eight weeks ago, when she
returned to Greensboro to reside with
her youngest son. Since her return to
this city she had gradually grown
worse, and although loving hearts and
willing hands were ever ready to min
ister to her wants, It was Impossible to
afford any permanent relief. 4
In early life the deceased connected
herself with Bethel Presbyterian
churcb,transferrlngher membership to
Alamance church after her marriage.
Through these long years she lived the
life of a faithful and devout follower
of the Master, always setting an ex
ample.of meekness, patience and devo
tion to duty that was helpful and In
spiring to those with whom she came
in contact.
The funeral party, left the home of
Mr. M. C. Stewart yesterday afternoon
at 1 o'clock and proceeded to Alamance
church, where the last sad rites were
performed. The services were con
ducted by Rev. J. McL. Seabrook, Rev.
Mr. Lequeux, the pastor, being detain
ed by sickness. The remains were In
terred by the side of her husband and
one child.
