S, STICKHEY DEAD A GOOD "AND USEFUL MAN GONE i TO HIS REWARD. A Former Greensboro Pastor Died ' Saturday Morning in Rich W hiondGreat Sorrow." It Was a great sorrow to his many friends here when it was learned Sat urday evening that Rev. F. S. Stick- ney had died at his home in Richmond, VaVi'iat 3:30 o clock that morning after a brsef Illness of only one week. .A ittle over a week ago he was taken ill with what seemed to be a slight at tack :of cholera morbus. He soon re covered j and was able to be aboxrtvthe house again. Tuesday he had to again take to his bed with, gastritis. Some hear trouble followed this attack, and he grew rapidly worse until death re- Hered-him from his suffering early Saturday morning. About four years ago Mr. Stickney was rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, in this city, for one year, and made, many friends during his short stay among us. Of engaging personal address, sympathetic, quick-witted, generous, and with never failing good humor, he was a great favorite" with men and women everywhere. He was a fine preacher, fluent of speech in the pulpit, and possessed great familiarity with the text of the Bible. He was j a man of great breadth of view, and in no sense bigoted or intolerant where other men's religious views were con cerned; For this noble trait in his character people of all denominations admired him.- During his short minis try in Greensboro he did much to build tip St. Andrew's church. The late Bishop Phillips Brooks, of Massachusetts, was a good friend of Mr. Stickney, and the admiration which he had for the Bishop was un bounded. The funeral services were held at Monumental, church, Richmond, of which church he was rector, yesterday evening at 6 o'clock. The body lay in state in the church from 12 o'clock, Jsoon, .until the funeral, so as to allow the members of the congregation . and friends to have a last glance t the be; loved rector. At 7:30 p. m. the re mains were brought to-WUson, N. C., where they were interred this morning. Fenner atterthwaite Stickney was born in Greensboro, Ala., thirty seven years ago, and was the son of Col. . and Mrs. Joseph B. Stickney, who moved to their fine old estate of 'Woodstock," in Beaufort county, N. C, when young Stickney was two years old. He was a grandson of the ate Fenner B. Satterthwaite, for whom he was named. After he received his primary edu cation in the schools of Beaufort coun ty he was sent to the Episcopal High School, near Alexandria, Va. After this he attended the 'University of the South, at Sewanee, Tenn., and here his mind, which had been dwelling on the question of . studying for the min istry, wad made up. He completed his education at the General Theological Seminary of New York, where he was prepared for the ministry. After,his ordination he returned to North Carolina, where he was put into the mission field in the western part of the State, in which he was veiy suc cessful. He finally took charge of St. An drew's chureh, this city, and met with great success while here. From here he was called to St. Peter's church, where he was in the midst of great and useful work, when he was called to Monumental church,-Richmond j Va., in the autumn of 1894. Mr. Stickney leaves a widow a most charming and estimable lady, who was Miss Elizabeth' Gay lord, of Beaufort county and two. children Gertrude and Fenner, aged 11 and 6 years respectively.

Pronounced by Master Mechanics the . . the Best of its Kind. - We venture the . assertion that not a dozen people in Greensboro knew that Mr. M. H. Pinnix had been working on a car coupler for years; that he had secured two patents; that he has a model constructed; and oh exhibition at the Banner Warehouse which shows the working perfectly and that it has points to spare over any coupler now in use. Yet such is the case. We saw the model worked, examin ed it, worked it ourselves:and so far as a layman may, judge in the mattsr it is almost perfect. - What is more'the inventer showed the model to' the mas ter mechanics both at. the Southern" shops at Manchester and the Baltimore and Ohio shops in Richmond and they pronounced it superior to arfy coupler now in use. The coupler is wholly automatic, no one need touch it and it never fails to lock When the cars meet. It is abso lutely hold fast; when the brakeman; uncouples he does not go between the cars but works a lever' either placed at the side or on top of the car as' desired. It will work with the standard coupler or any other coupler now in use. The principle is a entirely new one but its simplicity and efficiency can not be questioned. It has the following ad vantages over the Janey coupler, which is the best now in use: " 1. In the Janey if the drawhead pulls out from the car it falls on the track, often derailing the train;, in this coup ler it is carried along by the draw- head to whiehrit is joined. 2. It never fails to lock and looks easily, doing away -with the necessity of jamming the cars together. 3. No one need be present to raise the lever when coupling. 3. It is impossible for it to "freeze up," a difficulty which-often necessi tates heating the Janey coupler before the cars can be uncoupled. 5. The absolute safety for the man coupling since it need not be touched, and. 6. It is cheaper, lighter and stronger than the Janey. 7. There is no possibility of its break! ngJoose on a curve. . - ---- Mr. f innix says ne has. never shown i&to a man who did not -pronounce it tbe best coupler in existence. The model shows the working of the- coupler perfectly, being two small flat cars, and it cost the inventor about seventy -five dollars to get it, con structed. . Weekly Bank Statement.
