There seems to be an epidemio of grippe in our neighborhood at present. There is sickness in al most every family. Our dramatic play, "The Dea con," has been postpoLed, on ac count of sickness. We are planning to present it on the evening of the 14th of March. Those who attended the box sup per at Machpelah Friday evening report a nice time. Miss Lula Kincaid has suspend ed school a few days on account of sickness at home. All of our neighborhood were made sad on last Saturday by the death of Mr. David Kincaid. He was taken severely ill with pneu monia last Tuesday and lived till four o'clock Saturday. He was buried at Hill's Chapel Sunday at two o'clock, Brother D. P. Wa ters conducting the burial services very impressively. Mr. Kincaid was born January 18, 1834, and departed this life at the age of 74 years, 1 mouth and 4 days. He was a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted under Capt. Thom as Lowe in Company C, 28th Regi ment at the beginning of the war and served four years. He took part in the battle of Gettysburg, receiving a ball in his shoulder, which he carried through life. In 1870, he married a Miss Beatty, of Gaston county, and to them was born one child. The mother lived but a few years. The son preceded his father to the grave a few years. He married again in 1877. His last wife, with one son, survive to mourn his loss, with a host of friends. Mr. Kincaid served his county in the State Legislature in 1870, and has always been one of the county's noblest and most upright men. lie joined the Methodist church when a boy and lived a consistent member all through life. He served as Sunday school super intendent for nearly 30 years and did his most effectual work for the Master in teaching his class. His life was a beautiful life "Among a grove the very straightest." His death was a victory, but he .will lie sadly missed. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the mother and sou. O sable casket! Thou hast A precious treasure within the fold; Gentle, patient, loving brother, Jsow so silent and so cold. . . Brother, uncle, papa, grandpa, In reply no gentle answer more; No chocrful greeting to Heal our bleeding hearts so sore. O cruel death! That claims Our loved ones for his own; Why select the choicest treasure, And leave our hearts so torn. Weep notro weep not! - A gentle voice hath said, Thy brother sleopeth,- . Only sleepeth and is not dead. Asleep in Jesus, - - Folded in the kript of his love, Not cold in- death, But gone to the bright home above. Soul too pure for Its time-worn house of clay. God saw and pitied. Came and kissed his.spirit away. I think when the call from his Master came, He held his breath to listen, Joy filled his heart, It forgot to beat; he answered in heaven. O modest flower! God's kind of hero, beautiful and fair. Dead in body, But alive in spirit forever there. Gone to reap - The harvest of good seed sown, Gone to inherit the kingdom Christ prepares for his own. . . - kai.adin. -. Dean John S. Moody, of llickory Is the guest of Mrs. W. A.
