The many friends of Mr. Richard Tarlton, who lives near town on the Camden road, were greatly surprised Sunday morning to learn that he had married the night before. If there ever was such, a thing as a confirmed old bachelor Mr. Tarlton was con sidered to be one. The fact that he Vas thinking of matrimony was un known to his closest friends. The circumstances surrounding Mr Tarltons marriage were unusually ro mantle. When a middle-aged man he paid court to Miss Ann Phillips, then a young lady of Gulledgj township. For some reason Miss Phillips and 31r. Tarlton. did not marry, and, finally, about nine years ago, she re moved to Clio, Arkansas, with her mother and brother. Some time ago Mr. Tarlton's affee Hons again turned to his old time lover and he entered into correspon dence with her, the result being that she returned to; Wadesboro last Frl day night for the purjose of becom ing his bride. Miss Phillips was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Tarlton, and it was at their home that the ceremony was performed, Saturday night, at 8 o'clock, Esq. Geo. W. Rogers officiated in his best style, Mr. Tarlton is CO years of age and his bride Is about 45. A Big Catch of nh. When Mr. B. F. Staton drove into 4own last Friday morning with a wagnuload of catfish and German carp, his vehicle was quickly sur ' rounded by citizens anxious to secure , enough of the cats to make a stew a dish fit for the most fastidious Ep icure, The cats, many ot which were still alive, went like hot cakes, and the carp, though not such fast seller?, were also soon disposed of. In all Mr; Staton sold about $35 worth of fish, besides giving many away. ; Mr. Staton lives In Ansonville township, on Brown creek, pear Pee Dee river. When the river rises to a certain stage the water backs up the creek and from the creek out into a depression iu Mr. Staton's land, At the point where the water leaves the creek Mr. Staton has constructed a gate which he raisep while the wa- . ter is backing in, but' which is low ered as Boon as the water commences to subside. During the rise in the river last week Mr. Staton worked this game, the result being that the receding waters left the ground in the depression literally covered with a wriggling mass of fish. Mr. Staton catches many fish in this way but never before did he bag as mapy at anyone time as he did last week. ' 31r. Preaton Teal at Large, Several weeks ago Mr. Preston Teal,a well known citizen was placed In pV for safe keeping, it being i:iiimii--u iiiai ins mum was iiuieuuie- ly flight. Monday moj-uing Mr. Lee McBrlde, Mr. Teal's nephew, went to tfti Jail to see his uncle, and just as rs. artin, the wife of Mr. Guilford Martin, .the jailer, opened the door to the stairway leading to the cells, Mr. Teal, stepped out and, after telling Mrs, Martin not to - be frightened, quietly left the jail and made good his escape. Mr. Te il lives about four miles from town on the Camden road, and it is said that he has armed him self and declares that he will not again be arrested. Mr. ,Teal, who had been left tem porarily in the coridor surrounding the steel celli on the third floor of the jail, prized open the iron door at the head of the stairs, after which he des cended to the door at the foot of the stairs, and escaped as stated above.

Mr. J. V. Odom lla an levelling; Ki. ptrleuce at a Lane Creek Ford. Bright and early Sunday morning Mr. John W. (Mom, rigged out lu his Sunday best, left Wadesboro for a point near Rocky River Springs, in Stanly county. Mr. OJom, who is always genial and Jdlly, was, on this occasslon, probably more bouy autthan usual, andull weut well with him until he reach! Lanes creek, at the Hyatt ford. As soon, however, as he drove Into the creek he dis covered that it was past fording, the swiftly moving water soon washing horse, buggy and man down the stream. After having been washed down the creek some distance Mr. Odom grabbed an overhanging limb, but the instant he rlsted his weight on it the limb bent and let him down Into the water nearly up to his neck. His own situation seemed desperate enough, but notwithstanding this Mr. Odom managed to get his knife out of his iwcket and cut the horse loose from the buggy, after which he succeded in making his way to the shore. The horse also, after being in the water quite awhile managed to reach shore on the opposite side of the creek from his master. About this time a number of per sons living In the neighborhood ar rived on the scene and assisted Mr. Odom in getting his buggy out of the creek, after which he went to the home of Mr. J. E. McSwainJ where he dried his cloths and partook of a good dinner. Some two hours before sun set, his cloths having dried, he again took the road and this time, reached his destination without fur ther mishap. Mr. J. W. Sullivan' New House -De atroyed by Fire. A short time ago Mr. Jessie W. Sullivan completed a nice new dwell ing on the Morven road, about t mile from town, and moved his fam Ily into It.

By this time the pile of wood under the stove was nearly consumed and a hole had been burned in the walkthrough which the flames leaped into the garret between the plastered walls.

On Wednesday night of last week, Just as the northbound passenger train was pulling away from the little station at Pee IX'e, some one, who was standing in the door of a building near the track, shot twice into the train. One of the bullets buried itself in the side of a car. The other bullet crashed through a window of a car, very nearly hitting several persons, among the number being Mr. J. D. Leak and his daughter, Miss Kate, who were sitting In a seat onthe opio site side of the car from which the bul let entered. Mr. P. T.

A section of the coffer dam, which it will take from two to three weeks to replace, was washed away. O le of the engineers at the Falls came near gowing down with the dam, as it had been only four minutes from the time he left the dam until It was swept away by the water. Judge Bennett Write In Favor ot Draining the Creek. I shall try to get our peope to clear out the creeks, such as Brown creek, Gould's Fork, Culpepper and others, in virtue of an act of Our Gen eral Assembly next to be chosen. The misdemeanants must be kept at work on public utilities the public roads first, then in directions to be chosen. We must,. do this or move back from the bottoms now choking, fill ing up and compelling retirement to the hills. Let the burden down upon riparian owners of lands in the name of eminent domain, the health of the people and the wealth hidden In these soils. - Don't think the county is to be put under the fence corner, except upon equitable premises. We who work along these streams pay taxes now grievous to discharge. Hence the county must diagnose its obliga tion and do us equity. Collateral to the root, stem and branch of this affair, you can't stand a repetition successive years of mala rial infection, making bjrrage of in telligent laborers and the contentment of those upon the lands. The fulness of time is here. We must he instant. Failing to reach the ear of the great public, I mean to plow hills, hillsides, bottoms above overflow and lend low bottoms to grass and pasturage. Think, sirs, and be wise. Hasten your prevention and cure. It. T. Bi;xxett. Yon Can't Down a Working Man, . We have heard that there are some people who work for the love ot it. If this is true Mr. Holden G. Gaddy, of Gulledge township, must be one of the lucky number. A few nights ago, Mr. Gaddy, after working all day at a gin for a neighbor, went to his field and pulled" 110 bundles of fodder by 1 o'clock. While Mr. Gaddy was pulling the fodder Mrs. Gaddy was badly frightened by hear ing a pistol tired. She was afraid some one passing the road, had seen her husband in the field, and, taking him for a thief, had shot him. She did not sleep a wink until shortly af ter 1 o'clock in th 'morning,- when her fears were relieved by the return of Mr. Gaddy to the house. A Card.

Last Thursday and Friday were days of great pleasure among the ad mirers of pretty millinery, it being the occasion of the Busy Cornel's fall owning. The millinery department was quite pretty, being decorated with autumn leaves, while pots of ferns and palms were tastefully arrange! In a way that gave the department quite an attractive appearance.. There were all sorts, kinds and shapes of hats, but drooping brims, mushrooms, fluffy ruffles and hats that turn off the face in a soft roll seem to le the prevailing shapes. All kinds of velvet flowers, and feathers, including ostrich plumes, of all colors, and great quantities of ribbon, are used extensively. In fact, some of the hats looked like tropical blossoms on brightly colored birds, and were so attractive and alluring that the crowds lingered about them for hours, admiring and trying on. Tailored outing, walking and shirt waist hat-, both for ladies and children, were an attractive feature of the display. All in ail, it was quite a creditable display of women's headwear, and epoke praises for the ladies in Charge. II MEMOHVOP MIIS. JULIA HOUGH. We discharge a duty to a friend of many years by this brief tribute of speech to Mrs. Julia Hough, wife of Hesekiah Hough, who entered into rest eternal June 1, ' 1907, aged 82 years, llerhusnand is standing upon the ragged edge of U0 years, without weakness, but, alas, under the shad ow of death's banner. Her maiden name was Martin and such was her, pulchritude and charm that many suitors declared their pas sion and discord among some of them at length culminated In trage- Jy. Now and then we see mothers who add to their domestic cares by as suming the oversight of other peo ple's children. How beautifuliitis! How unselfish! Our blessed Savior, standing upon "God's own house," enrapt of grief at the recusancy of Jerusalem, hailed the city as refusing the haven of His holy arms. How full of sweet com fort! What a striking figure is this, all and singular! Tnis foster mother adorned maternity and heightened the duty this opportunity gave her Verily in her death, "The year has lost its spring," if one may borrow the metaphor of Pericles, at the bier of the flower of Athenian citizens. I bear this testimony to the high estate of this dead mother out of the abundance of my love, the universal ity of my heart, that never gavehos pitality to a sentiment, hostile beyond the span of a day. - May God temper, the wind to her broken-hearted husband and the five surviving children, who find in her example a constellation of virtues dear now dearer yet to be. Living in comfort upon the broad acres of her husband, she dispensed beautiful hospitality, and saluted the coming guest with warmth of man ner and without evasion. R. T. Bkxxktt.
