Mrs. W. F. Hess Dead.
Last week when Mr. Martin
Dry died, his daughter, Mrs. W
F Hess, was lying at the point of
death almost. Today (Tuesday)
the end came about noon. Mrs.
Hess has b6en in bad health for
quite a long while and her death
meant an end to her suffering.
Her maiden name was Margaret
Dry. She leaves a husband and
two children.
His Forearm Broke.
Arthur, son of Mr. Will F Dry,
while on his way to Mr. Wm.
Winecbff's to inform him of the
death of Mrs. Hess, had the mis
fortune to fall from his horse,
breaking his right forearm.
Both bones were broken. On
account of there being no girth
the saddle slipped off, throw1
ing him on his arm.
His Brother Very Low.
Mr. D V Litaker, who lives on
South Main street, received a
telegram today (Tuesday) from
States ville" stating that his
brother, Mr. Martin M Litaker,
who lives near that place, was
very low. .Mr. Litaker left for his
bedside. Mr. Litaker1 had been
in bad health but the news was a
surprise.
Good Showing for Our Asylum.
, The Raleigh correspondent to
the Charlotte Observer says Dr.
Kirby , has Just returned from
New York where he had been
visiting insane asylums. It is
as surprising as gratifying to
learn that while the northern
asylums cure about 25 per cent
of the inmates and think it a fair
success the doctor was able to
report liiscures to be from 65 to
70 percent, This he ascribes
to general treatment. The
doctor expects further success
by introducing some light work
or entertaining employment.
Paying His Bill for Him.
Some time ago it will be re
membered that Dr. D D Cfohnson
went to Connelly Springs and
spent a while with his sister.
Doctor left and failed to pay ? her .
sent him two boxes of tine apples
as a part rjayment for his board.
The faI(ure to pay ,th4: debt
doesn,t geem t grieve the doctor
, m any way.
New Sunday School Superintendent.
At a meeting of the stewards
of Central Methodist church
Monday night Mr. W R Harris
was elected the superintendent
of the Sunday school. This
place was made vacant by Mr. L
D Duval's absencean Concord.

An Arc Light in Concord. ,
Concord has at least one arc
light in the town now. It has
been placed in the Cannon &
Fetzer Co. store. It is an expe
riment thus far. Like the usual
arc light it is at one time Very
bright then grows dim.
Bryan May HaTe to Rest.
TheHon. Wm. J. Bryan has
been a marvel of a public
speaker, making unlimited num
bers of speeches to immense
audiences and always making
himself heard far and wide with
something which pleased and
electrified his audiences. But
there is a limit to human endur
ance. It was announced Mon
day that he was suffering from
affection of the throat and lungs
for TChich his physician pre
scribed a long term of rest and
quiet. A later telegram, how
ever, lends hope that his en
gagements may not have to be
cancelled.
William L. Wilson Not Dangerously 111.
We are glad to note that the
dispatch announcing the serious
illness of President Wm. L Wil
son seems very muc- overdrawn,
While under treatment for lung
trouble there is nothing serious,
it is now said, and he is even
discharging his duties as presi
dent of Washington and. Lee
University.

Die, Sept. 7th 1699, near White

youngest son of Daniel W.
and
May JJ. Helms, aged 18 years 2
months and 15 days.
-Hd leaves an aged father and
Que sister aM flye wh
ers . ,to mourn his death.
Though he was taken in young
manhood, -the loved ones are not
left to mourn as those who have
no hope. During the summer of
1896 he professed faith in Christ
and connected himself with Rock
pill Baptist church and con
tinued a member until death.
He was taken with typhoid
fever about the middle of August.
During the first three weeks there
were no serious apprehensions as
to the result but day after day
ho expressed himself as willing
to go if tho Master called him.
During the' last four weeks his
mind was often beclouded, but
when his mind was clear he ex
pressed the same confident hope
and urged his friends to meet
him in the better land.
His funeral was conducted at
White Hall by his pastor, Rev. B
Lacy lloge after which he was
laid to rest until the morning of j
the resurrection. X.
The Amount Paid to the Widow.
It will be remembered that
Policeman Kerns who was killed
some1 time ago was a member of
Cannonville Council , No 25, of
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics." The expenses of
the burial t and . th e physician's
bill has been paid and remainder
of the $250, which is $170, has
been paid to the widow of Mr.
Kerns.
Where's Your Dead Spot?
Most people have doubted their
eyes when .at some conjuring
performance they. have seen a
man . run Wheedles and pins
through" both7 cheeks, evincing
no pain aslhe d6es so. In reality
every" person has hundreds of
senseless specks of skin all over
his body through which he could
run pins, or even cut them out,
without feeling any pain. If
someone else were to do so when
he was blind-folded, he would
not be even aware of the fact.
Physicians call them dead spots,
and the reason that one man can
sew his cheeks up . while another
could not is simply because the
former happens to have many
hundreds of these spots in one
place.
These dead spots are caused
by the minute nerves which con
vey every sensation to the brain
being either absent in these par
ticular places or dead and sense
less. But should any one of our
readers allow himself to be
blindfolded, and then get one of
his friends to prod him very
. gently with a clean needle, say j
it :-.

j hundred Dricks he will feel only
about 60 or 70 at the most,
j In the other cases the needle

Dangerous Counterfeit.
Washington, Oct. 9. A new
counterfeit $10 silver certificate
has
been discovered by the
secret service division of the
treasury. It is of the series of
1891; check letter B; plate num
ber indistinct; probably 74; J
Fount Tillman, register: Mor
gan, treasurer; portrait, Hen
dricks. It is a dangerous photo
mechanical production, printed
on soft paper probably made up
from two sheets of Japanese
tissue. Green and red ink lines
are used to imitate the silk fibre
of the genuine. The face of the
note has a grayish tinge, owing,
no doubt, to the use of . a poor
quality of black ink. The color
of the seal is a trifle too dark.
The back of the note is more
deceptive than Jc front. The
imprint of the bureau of engrav
ing and printing on the left end
of the back is illegible.
