Doings In Granite Fails
A lot of our folks went to
Hickory last Saturday to see the
man fly in the flying maching
and all agree that it was one of
the most thrilling sights thev
have ever seen. It was a success
from beginning to end and is one
of the most marvelous inventions
of the 20th centuary.
Mr. Dick M. Cline had the
misfortune to be bitten by one of
his horses last week. He was
training his horse to talk :nd
thinking he had mastered enough j
of English language to have]
some idea of politics, asked the'
horse if he wasn't a Republican;
and the horse became so enraged i
that he bit ' him, but not
seriously we are glad to learr.!
Mr. Clinrt is strong Bull Mooser.!
One of largest droves of tur
keys we ever saw passed through
our town last Saturday,
Mr. C. R. Payne has the walls
of the Lutheran Church about
completed.
Rev. Mr. J. P. Price attended
the Tennessee Synod at Colum
bia, S. C'., returning home last
Friday.
Dr. Russell has purchased a)
! nice Buick automobile.
The town and community were
shocked on last Monday morning
when it became know that Mrs.
E. E Cline had died at States
ville in the hospital where she
had undergone an operation,
which was pronounced a success i
but she was not strong enough
"to rally from the effects. Mrs,
Cline is one of our most highly
respected women. She leaves
an aged husband and several;
children, some grandchildren,
step children, step grandchildren
brothers and sisters to mourn her
death.
Is your husband cross? An irritable,
fault finding disposition is often due t°
a disordered stomach. A man with
good digestion is nearly always good
natured. A great many have been
permmently cured of stomach trouble
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. For

Death oi Mrs. Dozier.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dozier died of
pneumonia at her home in this
| city on Monday. She was 75
I years of age and was born in
Warren county but lived the
greater part of her life in Frank-
Jin county. The past ten years
of her iife she has spent in Hick
ory. The funeral was held at
the home, conducted by Rev. J.
D. Harte, and Rev. W. R. Brad
shaw. She was a lovely Chris-,
tian character and a life-long;
member of the Baptist Church, i
Surwing are her two daugn- j
ters, .Misses'Mattie and Josie j
Dozier, of this city and her
brother and sister, Mr. Henry i
Mmga and Miss Martha Mings,!
of Hict ory, and Mrs. Maiy E. :
Clifton, of Raleigh. !
Abernethy-Graham.
: The f Jlowinsrf announcements

Mrs. Samuel Creutzborg Gra
ham announces the marriage of
her daughter Helen Martyn to
Mr. Albert Edwin Abernetfiy,
Monday, November the eigh
teenth! nineteen hundred and
twelve. Philldelphia.
of this event has
created unusual interest in
Hickory where Mr. Abernethy is
one of t*ie best liked >oung men
in socia) and business life, and
where his beautiful and accom
plished bride made many friends
during her visit to Mrs. Roy. Ab
ernethy. She is exceedingly
popular in West Philidelphia so
cial circles. The Democrat wishes
them a tang and useful life to
gether.
