Tho chances are ten to one
that the poorest service and the
least satisfaction come from
. the shops where baslpbss ie

where the merchandise

where salespeople are

Say r. Tax-Payers, If this is the

Wilson. July 28.?Saturday morning
about four o'clock, Mrs. Denis
Adams died suddenly at her home
21ty under the following
circumstances: At the hour named
Mr. Adams, on awakening, saw that
one of his children, who was sleeping
on a trundle bed in the room with
himself and wife, was hanging over
the side of the bed. Mr. Adams got
up to place the little one in a more
comfortable position, and In so doing
awoke his wife. She wanted to know
what the matter was and seeing the
child'B head hanging down, turned
over on- her pillow and expired Immediately.
and the supposition Is that
heart trouble was the cause of sudden
demise.
prise A found the convict forces was
lavishly working, grading, widening,
and in general almost mccadar.iring
this??nq of the best roads in the
county. All of us whom are acquainted
with thl6 road know that it bna always
been one among the b$st in the
county, and fellow readers I can
point you out some public roads that
have been public roads since long before
I w$r born (and 1 am new 35
years old) the citizens Jiving along
this piece of road- told me only one
day last spring that it was a fact that
they really baci^/o take axes with
them when hauling over this road in
order to cut poles to pry their carts
