to the Ony-e-One of Our County's
ft est Citizens
Cabarrus county lost one of its
best citizens Sunday morning
when the end. of tbjs life on
earth camG to JSsq. Ephraim Ei
.vin, of No 3 township, neat
Tulm postoflice. He was a man
of a good mind and was liked by
our .people.. Even before the
war he was a magistral and his
counsel was always worth seek
ing. Ho was considered one of
' the fathers, as it were, of the
community.
He leaves behind fo,ur chil
dren, all grown. Several years
ago he was robbed of his loved
companion. Those left behind1
are Messrs. Tom and Howard
Ervin'and Mrs. Ed Graham and
Mrs. Jno.' Johnson. The funeral
was preached by Rev. W Y
Love.

Abput the yoar 1884 Mr.t and
Mrs. Baxter Parks took into
their household a little m girl
named Fannie Earnhardt, who
had been staying at the county
home. Her age was not known
but from one -who knew her in
her infancy it is thought that
she was bora in 1880. Since the
. time' that Mr. Parks took her and
gave her a home' she has been
with them until now, which is
sixteen years. She has gone to
live with her half-brother here
who works in one of the cotton
mills.
Lord Ablner la the Number.
We clip the following in which
wenotice the name of Lord Ab-
inger in the . number, who is a-
kinsman to Mrs. Robt. Gibson,
of this place, and who was ex
pected to visit here some time
ago: "
