Rymer Well Known Here
The Columbus (Ga.) Ledger
reports the mysterious disap
pearance of Lt. W. C. Rymer, of
Camp Benning, who has been
absent for over a week and no
trace of him can be found. His
wife believes him dead, but
camp officers hold to lost memo
ry theory. Lt. Rymer was well
known in Chapel Hill. He was a
student in the University and
conducted a club house at Mrs.
S. M. Barbees’. Mr. W. F.
Strowd, who is in Columbus,
talked with Rymer the night be
fore he disappeared, and said he
was in his right mind. Mrs.
Rymer offers $250 reward for
any iuformation leading to her
husbands whereabouts.
We learn that the store house
of N. W. Brown at West Hillsbo
ro, occupied by H. D. Smith,
grocery, Victor Allen, dry goods
and millinery of the Misses Jor
dan and Dunn, was destroyed
by fire early last Friday morn
ing. The loss is estimated at
$20,000. The building was par
tially covered by insurance, but
there was no insurance on any
of the stocks of goods.
Firemen Answer Calls Promptly
Sunday morning about 11 o’
clock the firemen were called to
the home of W. B. Sorrell, on
Hillsboro street. A spark from
a chimney had ignited the dry
shingle roof and the blaze was
gaining some headway when the
firemen arrived, who soon extin
guished it. Our firemen believe
in the old adage that a stitch in
time saves nine, and they always
get to a fire before it has had
time to get much of a start. They
certainly haye been lucky in this
respect.
Death of Mrs. Thompson
We regret to record the death
of Mr's. Emily Elizabeth Thomp
son, wife of Mr. W. H. Thomp
son, which occurred here Satur
day morning at 10:30 o’clock, af
ter an illness of over a year. The
funeral services were held from
the house Sunday afternoon by
Presiding Elder, M. T, Plyler,
of Durham, and all that was
mortal of this grand old mother
in Israel was tenderly conveyed
to our Silent City. She waslthe
mother of Mrs. Cora E. William
son, Miss Carrie L. Thompson,
and the editor, of Chapel Hill,
Mrs. John W. Webb, of Salis
bury, and J. D. Thompson. She
was in the 81st year of] her age.
Vain is any attempt to imeasure
the loss of a mother to ner chil
dren. Business cares and; their
own home circles have encroach
ed upon their time, may have
robbed mother of their compan
ionship, but she was ever just
the same; rejoicing in their sue
cess and grieving at their; mis
fortunes. They may have'grown
away from her, but she] never
from them; they were still her
boys and girls. We know] that
years hence the memory of her
unselfish devotion will make
them better men and better wo
men and her precepts be their
guilding star.
The floral offerings by friends
and loved ones were very pretty.
Flowers seem to be the best em
blem we have to express our love
for we wreathe them around the
cradle, the marriage altar and
the tomb. Thus would weTeave
her, and in memory keep her,
as sweetly reposing among the
beautiful and fragant flowers.
The family wish to thank the
dear friends and neighbors who
so kindly assisted us in life’s
greatest trial, such kindness as
was shown is not soon forgotten.
We
Good Woman Passes
regret to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Lizzie Andrews,
widow of the late Addison An**
drews, who passed away Satur
day morning at her home near
White Cross, after an illness of
several months, at the age of 80
years. The funeral and burial
took place Sunday afternoon at
Bethel Baptist church. The
services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. J. F. McDuffie. De
ceased is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Alex. Maddry, of the Or
ange church section, and two
daughters, Misses Mamie and
Alice Andrews and one adopted
son, Dr, Eugene Sugg; of New
London, Conn. Mrs. Andrews
was an estimable woman, loved
and esteemed by all her neigh
bors and friends.
Death of A. T. Fowler
Mr. A. T. Fowler, brother of
Mr. John T. Fowler, of near
Hillsboro, died at his home in
Durham Sunday afternoon. Mr.
Fowler was born and reared in
four miles of Chapel Hill, being
a son of the late Wash F. Fowler.
He was for many years actively
connected with the b usineis s
world of Durham, having been
engaged in merchandising, con
ducting a bottling works and a
wholesale feed and grain store,
but retired about two years ago
on account of failing health. Two
years ago he suffered a stroke of
paralysis and on Friday last he
had another stroke from which
he never recovered. He is sur
vived by a wife and nine chil
dren, also four bro thers and five
sisters.
Periodic Bilious Attacks,
Persons subject to periodic bil
ious attacks will observe that
their appetite fails them just be-
tore an attack. That is, they do
not really crave food but eat be
cause it is meal time. If they
will eat only a light meal and no
meat, then take two of Chamber -
lain;s Tablets the attack may be
avoided.

Two ministers attended a match game

thousand enthusiasts who filled the
stadium, one minister inquired of the
other why it was that folks could not be
persuaded to attend church and manifest
such deep interest in more important
concerns.. A gentleman sitting imme
