The present enrollment of boarding pupils is as follows; Misses Elizabeth Royall and Jane Meares, of Wilmington; Ethel Rogers, of Raleigh; Miss O'Kelly, of Durham; Jannette Wctmorc, of Greensboro; Annie and Mary Polk McGehee, of Fletcher; Miss Robinson, of Iron Station; Eva Moody, of Hickory; Milded Jenkins, of Charlotte, 'and Miss Wiseman, of Henrietta. Queer Coins. Mr. A. J. Abernethy, who lives on the O. D. Carpenter place, near Hardin, brought in a coin last week that not only puzzled the News' force, but also stumped the bankers. It was, apparently, a counterfeit 20 dollar gold piece, but the man who Avho made it evidently did not have a specimen of the genuine article to go by. The coin was of brass, and the exact size of a 20 dollar gold piece, but was lacking in thickness and weight, and was a bit oil' on in scription. One side bore the American eagle, with 13 stars, and the inscription "In Ungate Fortitudo" while the other side bore the head of the Goddess of Liberty with the word "Liberty" on the brow, 10 stars, the date 1856, and the inscription "Compos Spiel Munze". Mr. Abernethy found the coin while ploughing on the Carpenter place. Mr. D. A. Kelly, Superinten dent of the Wampum mill, also has some unusual coins among which are an old Spanish coin of 1788 of the time of Carolus 3rd; an English penny of 1775, Georgius 3rd. Rex; a United States 1-2 cent of 1810 coinage, also a silver three cent piece 1857; a Spanish coin of 1789, Carolus 4th, and a French coin, 50 centimes, of 1871 and a silver 5 cent piece, of 1835, which is very rare. The U. S. 1-2 cent piece Mr. Kelly got while Secretay of the Mountain Island Sunday school some 27 years ago. John Tate, who now travels for the Charlotte Textile Co. , was then a little tot in dresses and brought this 1-2 cent to Sunday-school and put it in the collection box. Mr. Kelly replaced the coin with one of more value and kept the odd coin as a souvenir. Death Of Mrs. Motz. The entire community was shocked Sunday afternoon by the death of Mrs. W. W. Motz, which occurred at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Motz was in her accustomed health until only a short while before her death, which was ' caused by acute indi gestion. She was in the 40th: year of her age and leaves a husband, Capt. W. Y. Motz, and two chil dren, Miss Lee Motz and Carson Motz. Mi-s. Motz Avas formerly Miss Mary Hellen Sherrill, only daughter of Mr. Pink Sherrill and his second wife, who was the widow of Mr. Jiartlett Cobb. Mrs. Motz is survived by one half brother on the maternal side, Mr, Charley Cobb, of Dallas, Texas, and Mrs. Doras Cobb, of Asheville, is a half-sister-in-law.'. On the patern al side of the house Mrs. Motz leaves a half-sister, Mrs. Bettie Ward, and a half-brother, Rev. William Sherrill. -' . The deceased 'was oncbf the most popular and. beloved women of this community, and will be missed and mourned by hundreds of sorrowing friends. The deepest sympathy goesjnitjto the bereaved husband and children. The funeral took place from the Methodist church at 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. R. M. Courtney, aud the body was laid to rest in the family plot nearby the church. Many handsome floral offerings were laid upon the grave in token of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Motz was held by a host of friends. Club To Organize. ; General Robert F. Hoke left yesterday afternoon for Raleigh to obtain tlu - Charter for the Lin coln Llthia Club. The incorpora tors will meet at the Lincoln Lith ia Inn Thursday, Oct. 1 7th, for the purpose of organizing the company. As soon thereafter as possible the stockholders will be called together to elect the officers and directors of the club. Immed iately arrangements will be made to lay off the lots, as one lot ac companies each share of stock; and many of the holders thereof desire to know the location of their' lots as many are going to erect their cottages this winter for the coming summer. The Aldermen Get Busy. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen ' was held last Friday night and some very important and interesting business was transacted. After getting through with the routine business of passing on sundry bills and re ports of the various committees the question- of fire protection came up and it was finally agreed that the town should have an organized fire company. An ordinance was passed fixing a salary of !?.. 00 per year for those who. serve regularly as firemen, and limiting the num ber of firemen to 20. This is equiv olant 'to releasing the lire fighters from their poll tax, and it is fur ther proposed to furnish rubber boots and coats and water-proof helmets for the firemen. This move is of interest to every prop erty owner because it will have the effect of reducing the cost of fire insurance. It is a commendable move and will, no doubt, result in much good to the town. Another important move made by the Aldermen was the ordering the sale of the town lots, the pro ceeds of which will go to pay for the new cemetery. This sale of lots will, of course, be at public outcry and due advertisement of same will be made. Messrs. Costner and Anthony came before the Board and asked for relief from the tax of $5.00 per month for the water protection the city furnishes the Piedmont Cot ton Mill, claiming that this pro tection only secures them a reduc tion of 837.50 in the cost of their insurance and after a lengthy dis cussion it was decided and ordered that the tax, in this particular in stance, in the future Jbe reduced to $37.50 per year instead of G0, as heretofore. It was ordered that the street commissioner, Mr. E. C. Baker, have the property owners put the sidewalks in such condition as he thinks necessary, and should any property owner refuse to do so af ter notification the street commis sioner is ordered to have the work done "and the cost of same charged to the property owner. - ., " Negotiations are in progress for the sale of the city bonds and it is very probable that the deal will be made and work soon begun on the sewerage' proposition.
