Somebody. 60LD HILL. March 14. Winter has not yet disappeared. The rain last week has pat the roads in ba l condi tion, bat the wind will soon put them in good condition agiin. The ground has been so wet that the farmers could plow bnt very little. The Union Copper Min has cut off about all the men except the pump men. The talk is that they will soon start again with Albsrt Tucker at the head of the mine as sup rintendent . The Gold iiill people wcuia Use to Bee something start that could be de pended on moro than the gold and copper mines. The brass band taxes the day here now. The Brass, or Cornet, baud is c miug. The boys have about twelve pieces of music down pat. They practice three times a week. The band consists of bass drum, 1 tenor drum, 1 bass horn, 1 baritone, 2 altos. 1 tenor horn, 4 cornets and 2 clarinets They get the town together every night they practice They surely can blow. Look out, boys I They can keep time with Prof. Cid's foot, all o. k., and -that is a hard thing to do. All our town is short on is two cotton mills, and then Bhe would be all o. k. But the money is the question. It takes more money to run a cotton mill than a brass band. Shammy . . BOLD HILL. MR. RIGHARO tAMES, JR. March 7. We are having rain I At a m eting of the Directors of in. profusion n ar Wrii.l avgh impassible between here and Salisbury . It seems w need a county commissioner frem this section, or some other in fluence that would procure some work on our public road leading to Salisbury. This road is travel- d as much as any road in the county and should be macadam ized by all meas. We have had an epidemic of dis eases in tms vicinity, sucn as measles, mumps, d:phtheria and small pox. While we have net had a case of small pox here, we have been soared all the same, as a colored man, who has bean working over at the Iola mine came home aud was quarantined or several days, but the disease did not develop, he was released. About all the cases of measles have recovered. Little May, the five year-old daughter of John Barringer, . died of diptheria last week and was in- erred in the cemetery here. Janie9 Messimer's child now has the disease and is in a vry precarious condition. The price of the anti-toxin serum is so high hat it practically prohibits its use by the poor people; $6.50 to $7 50 being charged for each in- ection, which soon runs up a bill of $50 to $100. The puMio school closed week before last, a few days before it would have closed, on account of the smallpox scare. H. E. Rufty and family are vis- ltiug here. His father, Rufus Rufty, is right sick, also M. C. Rufty is visiting relatives here. Dr. Adkins aud wife nave re turned to their home near Wil mington. The Gold Hill cornet band will urnish the music at Jackson Col- ege school breaking next Satur day, the 12th . Thos. Moyle has bought the housi and lot from John Casper adjoining his residence.

The directors of the bank, for themselves and the stockholders, remember and cherish with affec tion and gratitude the memory of their friend and associate, Rich ard Eioies, Jr. . He served this bank well and faithfully and wise ly, and to each one of the direc tors his death is a .real personal loss . We recall those characteris tics which made bis company de lightful and helped to increase the value of his counsel and co operation in air his business rela tions. He never failed to do his part in any service he was called upon to render. He was always quiet, refined and courteous in speech and manner. Ho had the bearing and conversation of the true Christian gentleman. He was a great hearted, charitable, kindly man, who had endeared himself, not only to family ai d riends, but to the entire commun ity, aud he was respected and es-j eemed by all who knew him. His death was sudden and un-. expected, and he will be greatly missed. He died in the awful railroad wreck at Reedy Fork Creek on December 15, 1909. Many homes were saddened by that terrible calamity, aud the people of Salisbury were inexpres sibly pained and shocked when it became known that among those who had been so unexpectedly sacrificed was their own beloved citizen, tuchara Hjames, Jr. However grievoLS the loss of such a man to the public and to his business associates and per sonal friends, to his devoted wife and children and parents and kin dred the loss is the saddest and deepest possible. To them we ex tend the assurance of our tenderest sorrow and most sincere sympa thy. Richard Eames, Jr., departed this life in the full maturity of health and strength and intellect. Many years of honor, success and usefulness seemed to be opening up before him when he was sud denly stricken down on his re turn journey to the loved ones at home How few there are who realize the frailty, the uncertain ty and the shortness of human 'ifel Our friend is now at rest and in peace. Having finished his course in faith, we have con fidence that be doth now rest from bis labors. It was resolved that a copy of this minute be sent to the widow and parents of deceased and that publication be made in the Salis bury papers. (Signed) John S. Henderson, ) n j VJULU. ROCKWELL, R. F. D. 2. March 5. It seems that some one was inquiring aoouc i;oinm bus just as though he had gone to aleep and failed to wake up. It seems that he sleeps part of thf time. I guess he thinks Colum bus had quit writing. Somebody had better subscribe for both pa pers and keep up with Columbus. It seems that somebody is putting in very good time writing, sleep ing a little and lives in the pub lic square of Frog Town. I am thinking, if he is waiting for some of those monstrous frogs to pro nounce the benediction, he'll nev er get to sleep.' We htd a new painter aud a new carpenter in Rockwell las week.
