to our good old county and is another
illustration of the be'.efits of prohibi
tion and good Democratic government.

A Loved One Gone.
On the eveningof October the 26th
many hearts were saddened by the un
timely death of our friend, Miss Luna
Gunter., She was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Nathan Gunter, of Merry
Oaks, and leaves many loved ones to
mourn her absence.
Mist Luna had joined the Baptist
church at the age of fifteen, and for
three years had been an earnest Christ
ian, ever faithful to service. Last year
she entered Kiug's Business College at
Raleigh, and but for her recent illntss
would have finished the course in a
few weeks. While in Raleigh she was
a member of "The Dorcas class" in the
Tabernacle Sund.iy school, and we are
informed that she is greatly missed by
her co-workers.
The funeral service took place on
Sunday afternoon and the remains
v. ere laid to rest in the family cemetery
neir her home. We know the separa
tion must be heart-rending to the fond
parents, but in their grief we com
mend them to one who knoweth their
sorrows and is ever ready to heal the
wounded heart.
A Friend.
Merry Oaks, Nov. 18th, 1907.-
Woman Killed by Lightning.
Ut. L 5uis, Nov. 16. Mrs. John
McKiunon, wife of an employe of
ths Giencoe Lime Company, in
bt. Louis county, was almost in
stantly killed by lightning, which
struck her while she was sweep
ing the floor of her hdmej Thurs
day. The bolt entered an open
window, and did not damage any
thing in the house. About ayear
ago her oldest son was killed
while at work in the lime kilns at
Glencoe by being struck by a fall
ing rock.
Accidentally Shot His Brother.
Meadville, Pa., Nov. 18. Thom
as, the 13-year-old son of Hiram
Stafford, was accidentally shot by
his older brother yesterday and
instantly killed. The boys were
starting hunting and as they pas
sed out the door, Thomas ahead,
the hammer of his brother's gun
caught the door casing and the
gun was discharged, striking
Thomas in the back.
Collision Barely Averted.
From the Charlotte Observer, 17th lest.
What might have proved a dis
astrous wreck was barely averted
yesterday about noon on the Sea
board Air Line 7 miles from this
city when the incoming passenger
train met a heavily loaded freight,
the two engines being stopped
luckily just before they came to
gether. Tjlie engineers caught
sight of each other on a long
stretch of road, and were able to
stop their trains before tha col
lision took place. Had they met
on a curve, which was immediate
ly above the result might' have
been fearful.

Sanford Express: Last Saturday
we were shown a scrap fronf a
piece of cloth that was recently
made up into a dress by Mrs.
Louise Gilmore, of Oakland town
ship, Chatham county. The cloth
was bought more than twenty
years ago from Mr. W. S.
Russell, who was doing an exten
sive mercantile business at Cum
nock, then Egypt Mr. Russell
charged one price for his goods
and sold good material to his
customers. Why che material for
this new dress was left in Mrs.
Gilmore'8 trunk all these years
was not explained. Evidently she
was not as fond of dress as is the
average girl of today.
