O. RHODES j Funeral of Edward C. Ciimrd Sun day Evening. The body of Edward C. Cli nard, jr., who was killed in Arizona week before last, accom panied by Mr. A. G. Mast, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, of Tuscon, Ariz., arrived in this city last Sunday evening on the 4:30 train, and was taken to the residence of his cousin, Mr. E. B. Jonos, where the funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. S. B. Stroup, pastor of the Episcopal Church. After the services at the home the body was carried to Oakwood cemetery where it was lowered to its final resting place. Mr. Clinard was killed near Sentinel, Ariz.; on the Southern Pacific Riilway. In some man ner he fell or was knocked off the train on which he was work ing falling between the cars, and was instantly killed. He was not missed by his own train crew for some time, and his body was picked up by the next passing i train. The funeral was largely atten- i ded by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen from Salis- , bury and Asheville, he being a , former employee of the South ern Railway. Mr. Clinard was 28 years of 1 age, and unmarried. Ke is sur- I vived by a father and mother, i Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clinard, of Happy Valley, two brothers, Mr. W. L. Clinard of this city and j Weston Clinard, who is in the army, stationed at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, and one sister, '* Mrs. H, B. Hayes, of El Paso, s Texas. 1 The out-of-town relatives at- ( tending the funeral were Mr. Edmund Jones, Mrs. J. G, Hall, Misses Gertrude, Freeze and Laura Hall, of Lenoir and Mr. E. C. Clinard, of Winston-Salem. , The floral offerings were large and the most beautiful seen , in Hickory for many years. Mr. , Clinard was well known here and none of Hickory's sons were ever held in higher esteem. His sudden death was sad to his loved ones, and they have the deepest sympathy of all our people. A MERCILESS JUDGE. . One Who Shows No Favor. A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the wanting go to the wall. Only the truth can ; stand. For years the following state ment from a Hickory resident has with- 1 stood this sternest of all tests. Mrs, D. M. Hill, 814 Eighth Ave., , Hickory. N. C., says: "For a couple ' of years I suffered terribly from kidney trouble. I was in such bad shape that I never expected to do my housework again. I seemed to be growing worse all the time. At first I did not know it was weak kidneys that made me feel so miserable. I had dizzy spells and rey sight was affected. I did rot sleep well and was lame and stiff. My joints pained me. I was feeling worse than usual when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. To my sur prise and delight, I felt better in a short time after taking them and soon I was completely relieved, I have had no s »gn of kidney trouble since. I give loan's Kidney Pills the credit for my health." For sale by all dealers. Price SO cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

While we have heard some pret ty hard Jthings said - about the ground hog since the bad weath er has set in, yet we think he did a wise thing by going back to his den until the cold weather is over. J. P. Clay, master machinist and J. E. Mitchell, fireman, at the Ivey Mill, have been kept pretty busy for several days weighing coal for the hands. One morning last week 16 orders fprcoal was handed in at one time, Mrs. J. C.. Bradley, who has been visiting her son at Danville, Va., returned to her home last Sunday. , Arthur Wilson, who has been working at Brookford for seve ral months, has now taken the position of night watchman at the Southern Desk Co. H. E. Clay has also taken work at these shops as foreman. C. T. Sigmor, of Drexel, was here one night last week visiting the family of J. E. Abee. Press Lowman and wife, who have been working at High Shoals for the past few weeks, returned to West Hickory a few days ago. A. J. Drum spent several days in Charlotte last week, L. R. Fry is preparing to build a large dwelling house on the street leading trom Ed. Ham mond's store tD the Lutheran hurch. The house will be near c he church. Paint Now. If your property needs it; don't wait. There are two parts of a job: the paint and the work; the work is more than the paint. The cost of paint is about two fifth; and the work three-fifth. Paint won't come down in a hurry; too manv jobs put off. Men are waiting for $2 or $3; they don't know it; they think they are waiting for $2O or $25. Whv don't men usfe their heads? DEVOE F. B.

On real estate you pay tax on ONE FOURTH THE VALUE. Do you I see the point? The man who builds a house is a friend to the community. The man who es tablishes a home beomes a dis tinct asset to the community. Put your savings in a home and thus benefit yourself and put your community under obli gations to you. i- HHia wßsllPiJl Mmm y &j SL - « BfiS ■■■■ i il 'Hv )f 1 » jpf d ißif ! fPrfnnff d ■ iIKPP pig / uLt • ■ V ii e 'C? ;V BhW ,f ' '' j Scene from "Antony and Cleopatra" at the Hub Theatre Saturday Feb. 21. Matinee and Night. ? ON TRIAL FOR ARSON. a ■ Sand-Clav Road Has Been Complet ed to Maiden. In a local last week we made men tion of the arrest of a young man of Bandy's township named Lowny Low man, charged with burning a dwelling house. Ihe hous :• was occupied by an old lady, but she was not at home on the night of the fire. Lowman has made a confession. He says he was paid $25.00 by Ellis Stevens, the owner oi the house, to set fire to it, so that he could collect the $4OO insurance, He knew the old lady was not at horr e on the night of the fire, and so did Stevens. The case is today being trii«d by Judge Moose. The State Insurance i Department is taking a hand in the I prosecution and Deputy Insurance Commissioner F. M. Jordon of Ashe ville, is here attending the trial. The road has been completed to Maiden. There is one and two-tenths miles to be built beyond Maiden to the Lincoln county line.' When that is completed the force will be moved to one of the roads out of Newton. We are told that the route decided on be yond Madien is byway of the railroad to the Lincoln county line where the Lincoln county road commission have agreed to meet the Newton force. This will give a 25 mile stretch of sand clay road from Hickory, byway of Conover, Newton .and Maiden to Lincolnton and a 20-mile stretch from Lincolnton to Rozzell's ferry, where connection is made with the Mecklenburg macadam road to Charlotte Enterprise.
