MRS. MICHAEL S.COTT l)EAp.
Fire, and Two Deaths Withjn a Xe&r-
Onl y.Mother, Husband and Child Left.
Mrs. Michael cott,. who has
suffered for five, weeks with ty
phoid fever, died Suilday night
at 1:30 o'clock; Her maiden
name was Miss Lomie Misen
heimer. '
Mrs. Scott was yet young,
being only 20. years old. She
leafes a husband and one child
of about one year, together with
her mother..
Tho funaral was conducted to
day (Monday) atG p. m., at Gold
Water church by Rev. W B
Oney. .
There is much sympathy due
this household from a series o
grievous eyents recently. About
6 months ago the house" of Mr.
Albert Misenheimer was burned
and most of the effects of the
two families were lost (Mr. and
Mrs. Scott lived with her pa
rents). Before .the new house
was near completion Mr. Misen
heimer died suddenly. Now
death makes another claim) so
soon after getting into their new
home, and leaves it with her
widowed mother, hpr husband
and her infant child. It seems a
series pf sad events to the few
survivors. .

A Correspondent Writes From the Odell f
Mills. .
I TKeirtst issue of the. Textile
Excelsior, which is devoted ex
clusively to the progress and
development of the States in
mill work, contains a good amount
about Concord and the follow
ing comes from the pen of one
of its correspondents this week
from Forest Hill: '
"The Odell mills here an
equipped with modern machinery
of the latest improved desigu,
and the epindles. are kept hum
ming day and night in o-cTer to
keep up with tho, weave room.
The Messrs. Odells are so well
known that it is hardly worth i
while to comment on their good
qualities, but I wish to say that
they are on the lookout for the
welfare of their employes, and
the result is, they work an intel
ligent set of hands.
Many of
them own their own "homes, the
Odells having encouraged and
helped them invest their money
in real estate.
; "We have one of the test Sun
day schools in the State right
here in our midst, which is
largely attended, and our pastor,
Rev. Hoy le, comes in for his
share of praise. ' He is a good
one.
"Our able and . up-to-date su
perintendent, R F Coble, looks
after all five of these mills. He
keeps everything hustling, and
don't you forget it, having the
good will and respect of all
uader him. Mr. Coble is what
we would choose to call a self
made man, having lost his father
and mother when quite a young
man, but with good judgment
and close attention to duty, he
has worked himself from quill
carrier to the position of trust
he now so ably fills."
A White Man Jailed for Larency.
On last Saturday Deputy Rob
inson made a haul here in town
which saved him a long trip out
in the' country. ' He wanted a
white man named Perry Harrison
who is charged with stealing
corn from Mr. Will Morris. s The
man was captured here ; and
tried. In default ; of a bond for
his appearance at court ho is
now lying in Jail.
The 'Annual Bermon.
