Kirah Klnrr fins n Congestlye mill and Dies" Very Suddenly A Mi OCR to All of Her Friends and Relatives. ' . . The people in that part of town besides her many Iriends and rela tives who knew her were terribly shocked Tuesday afternoon when .they , learned that Mrs. Kirah Murr, who had a congestive chill that morning, had breathed her last. A while after noon she took very sick and seemed unable to get her breath. About 1.30 o'clock, to the surprise of those even around her, she took her last breath. Mrs. Murr was the daughter of Mr. Daniel Faggart, of No. 9 township, and was known by quite a number of people of our town, she and her husband only a short while ago having moved into a new residence on Eist Corbin street. - Just about one year ago she was married to Mr. Kirah Murr, of this place, and .now leaves her devoted husband and one child on this earth to mourn the sad loss. The child is only about ten r weeks old. Airs. Murr was a sis ter of Mrs. Robt. Dove and Mrs. Wash Earnhardt, oi this place. The remains were interred this (Wednesday) morning at St. Johns church, near Mt. Pleasant, of which she was a devoted member. The luneral was preached by the pastor, Rev. S D Steffey. A Collision at the Depot. Just before -going to press this (Wednesday) evening a coll;sion oc curred at the water -tank near the depot, when an engine going South ran into a part of the local freight train that was shifting at the time. When the crew on the engire in motion realiz.d their dinger th;y jumped. Conductor Allison had his hand hurt somewhat, while the flagman is suffering a wrench in his back, and the fireman is bruised slightly. The crew belongs on the 0. 0. & A. road and were at the mercy of the piolet who thought tbe track was clear. One freight j Car is partly derailed and damaged I in the end. . Miller -Pharr Wedding.

Cox Npeakf-Improvements Viewed-An , Air of cheer and Giowingr Spirits JUer J",V" splendid Faculty and Nprigrntljr iron Gentlemen Students. j , It was our pleasure 'to attend , the opening exercises of Mont ! Amrena Seminary, at Mt. Pleas- ant, on Tuesday, the 6th. An nn-j avoidable delay of -train No. 36 . robbed us of the cleasnie1 of the sauce i to the liter- ary feast in the 'form ot music, j recitations, etc. Rev. Cox, the president of the board, made an address according to program. T-r i j C i xiis aaaress was largely con gratulatory to all connected with the seminary. He was happy in notiDg that educational facilities are now no less available for girls than boys. This was not alwavs so. Even but a few generations ago advan tages wore not equal. ' Harvard, said the speaker, was 150 years old befcra there was a college in the land for females. The schools in Boston were open for boys 135 years before they were for girls. The speaker counseled against the mind's straying upon absorb ing cares that would hinder a year of greatest profit in the school work. Don't set homesick, said the speaker. He referred to the improve ments made during the vacation that a liberal patronage to the Seminary made necessary and possible to attain. After the close of the address Dr. Miller pleasantly dismissed the spectators and the teachers proceeded at once to organize the classes, with an air of buckling down to business. The writer stoutly refusing to be dispersed with other auditors was conducted by the president of the board into and through the com partments added during the vaca tion. These we found more ex tensive and commodious than we had conceived of. We found in these nothing in the way ot dis play, but plain, practical utility is secured with neatness and a pleasing degree of skillful arrange ment. We viewed Mont Amoena as it is with much satisfaction. We are glad that within this institu tion our young women may reap all the benefits offered elsewhere without the expenses that place many ot our institutions beyond the reach of so many minds the peers of any but commanding less financial ability The exact number of students was not obtainable, while we were there, for all seemed like a hive of busy bees and no one had counted the pretty noses yet, but the radiant smiles as well as the ver bal assurances said that all were pleased and gratified, with the number of girls that will tease and worry the life half out ot them with little pranks after a few weeks of close application to good hard study. . We met the president of North Carolina College, Rev. M G G Seherer, who bears upon him, with eqnanimty and faithfulness, the burden of responsibility of that noble institution that should eniOV a larcrA TiAlrrmncrA' TIia , ,r , Peiulg HOt 06611 large DUt a number have been delayed in en- tg for Hw session, mubH agaiast - - their own advantage and the satis- faction cf their instructors. t, T g genuele? 01 lne colef see cheerful and happy a"d lully ,mbued wlth the 8Plnt f Progress-. . il la P"y sramjuig " ,that the now b ln Polnt.of fitess for the worK ana satisiacionness to tne students second to none it its his tory and it might be safe to say in the history of any other institu tion of its kind.
