During last winter she was at. tacked with la grippe, which cancers traled its insidious effects on the lungs and developed consumption, which has made rapid strides for the last few months. The unmistakable admonition of early departure was welcomed by Mrs. Fisher. It was a subject of remark by visiting friends that she f ally realized that the end of this life was near and the calm, sweet resignation with which she spoke of the event was a beautiful mirk of the triumphant Chnstaia faith that lif.ed her above the cires of earth. Mr J. Fannie Fisher was 48 years of age. She leaves four children, vis : Misses Claude and Grace and Masters Julius and Archie, who now beside the loss of earth's greatest blessing, a good mother, must en dure the sense of a broken borne where there it none to whom to lcok fur pirental counsel, guidance and comfort.

The negroes did not alight and the train was run on to Atlanta, III.

London, Oot, 10-The Medical Journal publishes the report of Dr. Cinet of Paris, asserting that tbe guillotite does not immediately kill the brain. The French doctor says the blood first comos from the large vessels of the neck and there is hardly any drain upon the circula tion in the cranium. The brain, he adds, finds nourishment for an hour after decapitation, during which time the person decapitated retains his other senses of hearing, smelling and seeing, Absolute death, Dr. Cinet claims, does not ensue for three hours. Thus, it is pointed out, guillotining, instead ef being speedy, ia one of the moet prolonged and horrible forms of capital punishment. Taken Back to lUclimond.

A NEW DEPOT To Be Bnlll Immediately The Con tract Has Been Let to a Contractor at Hfckorj The Officials Neem to Rot Have Lost Klitht f Oar Heeds Here. It will b: remembered that about last January our town asked the railroad authorities for a new pas senger depot here. After a good bit of oorreepsndenoe the railroad ofs ficials promised that they would ac cede to our, request, but asked that they bs given until September. The time having arnyed, their letter so stating; was sent by Mayor Orowell again asking them for it and also showing tbtm tbe letter. In reply to the letter, Mayor Cronell has just received the foil lowing, which is good and satisfac tory cews to our pe pie: Hon. J L Crowell, Mayor of Conoord, N. O. Dear Sib: Yours of the 12th inst., received. We had not lost sight of the needs in the way of a new passenger station for your city and are now glad to advise you that the contract has just been made wuh Mr. J D Elliott, of Hickory, N.

Alexander's Barn and Cribs Bnrn flown Four Mules and One Fine Horse Perish In the Flamea Bnlldlnas and "lock Insured to ome Ks-ient. Friday night between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, Esq. J M W Alexander, wno lives near liacky River, awoke to find his largo b.irn on fire. lis found it out too Lite to save anything. In vain he tried to rescue fonr of bis mules and his black mare. All of bis roughness and everything in the bin u burned, ibe corn cribs ad joining also caught and were also burned to the ground. It was fortnnateand almost puzzling tbat several other adjoining buildings were not also burned, some others being yery near by. No cause is known for tho fire, but it is thought to be the work of an incendiary. Some tracks have since been found that may jet prove to be suspicions. Fortunately Mr. Alexander was carrying insurance both on bis buildings and on his stock. He was insured in the Farmers Mu tual Fire Insurance Association of our county, and will derive at least idOO therefrom. His loss roughly estimated will reach 11,000. This is a groat loss to Capt. Alexander and we, together with his community thereabout, extond our sympathy to him.

VERY COMPLIMENTARY To Onr City Are tha Words of a Brother Fdltor t'ompnrlntf Our Town With Another Due. The Mooreeville Timis in its lust issue has an editorial from which we take several paragraphs, which are very complimentary to Concord: "You may go tho cily of Concord and spend a month and very likely you will not sne a drunken innn during that time, bat go where they hV9 open ber roors and you can cot spend two days without seeing men drunk, and in many instances I bt ing tken to the lock up. Thou i.re other, yes mauy other, things that could be said in defense of Conorrd's Prohibitory law. There are about 7,000 inhabitants In that oity and only two policemen, and when bed time comes they, like other citizens, go to bed and take their rest. Concord bas made a grand record already for sobriety, and no city has a better citizenship. If Siliebury does not wish to be left behind in the way of progress let her follow the example of Ocncord." A CLOsT:CALL. A Vonna; Man Shot nt by a Slldnlicbt Bnriflnr. A young man who clerks for Mr. John Andrews, who owns a store just across the Carolina Central road on Brevard street, had a close call Thursday morning. About two o'clock in the morning Mr. An drews' clork heard seme noise at the rear of the store. The door of the dwelling whioh adjoins the store was opened, and just as the young man was in the act of walking out, some one fired a pistol twice. One of the balls struck the door-facing just above the young man's bead. As soon as the two shots were fired the party ran and has not as yet been apprehended. There bave in the past few months been several attempts made to rob Mr Andrews' store. The po lice have been working ou the case, but have never been able to locate the guilty party. Charlotte News.

ILLINOIS ISIIII In Fxeltement The Landlnc- of Kcgro Miners Forbidden. The fierce tonsion continues about Virdon, 111., and the only hope of averting more bloodahod lies in the abandonment by the mining company of the idea ol bringing negroes to take the place of the striking miners. The Ooy einor, desiring to avoid conflict, bas ordered the guards not to allow the imported forces to land about the seat ot troublo.

The Editor of the Journal : 1 will drop you a few lines to in form your readers of tbe state of affairs hore, as the negroes have about taken this place since the Republicans have been in power, and it is not a rare thing to Lear of neuroes insulting decent wbite people. Seeing a crowd of negrofs gathered at a country store the other day, I drew near enongh to hear what they were talking abont. They were talking on political matters in North Carolina. Tbey said that the Republicans were working for them, and the Popu lists too, and they were their only friends, and that they had fused together in order to get into office, and if they were elected "we will soon take things and run the white people out of the State." Tbey then went on to say that the South Carolina darkies were going to join them, as the Kepnbucans would eland by them. In two years, they said, they would have everything in their hands. The other day a negro man went to a respectable farmer's house while the man was away from home and there was no one present but his daughters. lie was drunk, and taking bis seat in the house, ordered them to bring Lim eider, and threatened to cut their throats if they did not do so. They had to bear it because they could not help themselves. Re publicans and their co-adjntors seem to enjoy it.

An old colored man, who lives near Wadesboro, determined to have a pound cake for his Sonday dinner a short time ago, and proceeded to make it according to tbe following original recipe: One pound of flour, one pound soda, one pound sugar, one pound of eggs, one pound of but ter, one pound of salt and pound of water. The ingredients were thor oughly mixed, after which the mass was put in a spider to boil. The spider pretty soon boiled over and then two large wash pots, supple mented by three buckets, were brought into requisition. Tbe wash pots and buckets held most of the "cake," and after the boiling pro cess was over it was put on to bake.
