Nocou -t yesterday and, hun
dreds of people from the country
sorely disappointed as a result.
Judge C- C. Lyon remained over
in Monroe where he was; trying a
long drawn-out railway case and
it wae krowu here that he would
not be present until late in the
day yesterday. It seems to us
that a pr.psr appreciation of the
value of a farmer's time is hard
ly considered at this season of
the year. If His Honor had only
notified theauthorities here Sat
urday, w hen he e idently knew
that he would be delayed, why
they in t irn could have saved the
day for n any busy farmers. But
as The Ansonian has noted be
fore, 'coart are a law unto them
selves," and while they require
witnesses and other interested
parties to be here on the minute,
delays caused by others attract
but little attention. A day from
home is worth many dollars to
some far ners at this season of
the year. Is ,here no remedy?

It is an error to say that alcohol
. , , ,
is necessary to laborers occupied
witn naugumg wens, mat it gives
heart for 'work or renews their
strength; the artificial excite
ment produced by it rapidly gives
nlace to nervous deDression and
weakness. - In reality alcohol has
no actual use for anyone.
DEATH OF MR. LEWIS VUKCANON.
Lgwis Vuncanon a well respect
ed and highly esteemed citizen
of Randolph county, died at His
home one mile south of High Pine
last Tuesday, March the 8th, and
was quietly laid to rest in the
cemetery at High Pine Thursday
March the 10tb, to await the
resurrection day.
Rev. Elwood Cox conducting
the funeral services, he made
some very touching remarks on
the christian character of the de

grand children to take the life
of father and grand father, as a
model in their future life.

not be said of him in regard to
his faithfulness to the church at
High Pine where he had long
been a member. He had been
Sunday school teacher for a num
ber of years r and was always
present as long" , as his health
permitted. We liVd that words

All was done for him that i;as
possible by physicians and f rienSs
but nothing could be done by us
to relieve him from his suffering
until the Savior com 8 and took
him to lus home above where no
pain nor sorrow sin nor death
can come.
Although he suffered greatly,
he bore it with christian patience.
He told his loved ones there was
nothing in this world for him,
all his treasures were above, and
he was asking the Lord to take
him out of his suffering. He
has fought a good fight, he has
finished his course, he has kept
the faith, and has gone to re
ceive his crown and hear the
welcome words "well done thou
good and faithful servant. ' '
He leaves a wife, seven chil

their loss, but while we mourn
for him here we feel assured he
is resting sweetly in that city
