o'clock Tuesday evening at her
home on "West Corbin street.
She had not enjoyed the best
of health, being afflicted with
Theumatism and acute indiges
tion. She had been suffering
with la grippe, attended with
gastritis and was quite sick some
days ago, but was so much im
proved that the family felt no
alarm till some thirty minutes
before the end when she was at
tacked with acute indigestion.
At alarming'symptoms, members
of the family, that were out,
were called but were not able to
reach her bed before death.
Mrs. J L Eddleman, who had
gone to visit relatives in Rowan,
was summoned and came in thia
morning. Mr. Eddleman will
arnva tonight as will Mrs. R L
Daughton.

and 11 days old. She was mar
ried Feb. 7, 1865 and bereaved
of her husband on the 4th day of
last September. She reared to
him eight daughters and one son
who are now o soon bereaved
of her a most devoted mother.
Mrs. Strieker's absorbing char
acteristic was devotion to her
husband and children. For them
she lived and labored with un
flaggiug' tenderness.
Though Presbyterian origin
ally she adopted "the church of
her husband and lived a consis
tent Christian from youth till
death.
Our sympathies are tendered
to the broken household of be

Cupid About-Mrs. Pethel Will Give a
Schol Entertainment Dark Picture
for the Farmers Spring Xonffed for
and Tlio Standard Awaited With Good
Wishes.
Glass, Feb. 11, 1902. On last
Sunday at the residence of Rev.
V R Stickley, Enochville, one of
the most surprising events of the
season occured. Mr. Chaa. Li
taker, of Glass, and Miss Loda
Bost, of Enoch, wore united in
the holy bonds of wedlock. The
bride was indeed one of Enoch's
fairest daughters (whom they
regret very much to loose, but
where Enoch looses Glass wins).
The groom is one of Glass' most
energetic and promising young
men. Our congratulations are
tendered to this young couple
and to as many more as can
follow. v.
Mr. Wvill Overcash left this
morning to resume 'his school
duties at Trading Ford after at-1
tending the Litaker-Bost wed
ding. We are glad to note that Mr.
J P Trice is out after being con
fined to his room for a few days.
Our efficient teacher, Mrs. M
V Pethel, has decided to give an
entertainment at the! close of her
school, which will be right soon.
After the day for the exercises
has been appointed we will extend
invitations to our city friends to
attend.
Our farmers say "the dark
side of the picture is turned,"
for there has never been such a
poor prospect for a wheat crop.
Mr. F W Glass isonh'S feet
again after a severe attact of
la grippe.
Spring would be a most wel
come caller, as our people think
this has been the most severe
winter of fifty.
Wishing The Standard success
we are awaiting another issue.

COLD IN KENTUCKY.
North Carol f n a Boy Frozen Up Wants
to be Back by North Carolina Fii
Side.
. Cynthiana, Ky., Feb. 10; 1902.
Mr. Editob: Perhaps it will
interest some of your North Cai
olina readers to hoar a word
from a North. Carolina boy who
is in Kentucky.
The weather hero is very now.
On the 28th of January about
three inches of sleet and snow
fell and is still on the ground.
It is snowing today and the
snow has already attained a
depth of about two inches on top
of the sleet that fell two weeks
ago;
The mercury has been from
four degrees below zero to about
ten above for nearly two weeks.
Notwithstanding tho cold weath
er the merchants here are doing
a very good business.
The farmers can barefy get
out to feed end take caro of their
stock, and the saw mill men; well
they just will have to stay in un
til the weather : gets better. "I
am a sawmill man and if I was
back in North Carolina sitting
by the good old family fire as I
did when I was a boy, I just tell
you there is not enough money
iri Kentucky or any other state
to get me away. But I am here
and have promised to stay till
summer time and I guess I will
have to tough it out.
There is no place like dear old
North Carolina if her land is
poor. G. II. L.
