A severe storm prevailed at
Iron Station last Sunday afternoon
duricg the funeral of Mr. Monroe
Lineberger in the Presbyterian
church. Rev. Geo. A. Sparrow
preached on Saturday and Sunday
and conducted the funeral. The
rain wind thunder and lightning
made it peculiarly distressing and
several horses fell from the shock
in the grove.
Died Suddenly.
Mr. J, W. Bean, a former resi
dent of Lincolnton but more re
cently of Gastonia, came to this
place last Saturday to visit his
children who still reside here. He
had been in feeble health for some
time and came herewith the hope
of being improved. He stopped
m ith his davghter, Mrs. Mary Doty.
On Sunday he suffered some severe
internal pains, and on Monday
morning about two o'clock he was
stricken with convulsions from
which he died at 2:20 o'clock.
His wife was telegraphod for and
arrived on the 10 o'clock train
Monday. His remains were laid
to rest at one o'clock on Tuesday.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. E. F. Jones, of Gaston
ia. Mr. Bean was 65 years, 5 months
and 8 days old. He leaves a wife
3 sons and 6 daughters to mourn
his loss.
Win. IT. Sftcbal,
Son of Jacob and Catharine
Ramsaur Michal was born in
Rutherfordton N. C. Sept. 17 1820
and came to Lincolnton when he
was 14 years old and began busi
ness herd as a clerk with the late
Col. John Hoke, his grand uncle.
On the 17th. Nov. 1850 he was
married to Isabelle Ramsaur, to
whom were born five children.
His life long friend and brother-in-law
and one month his senior,
has been with him in business and
nearest to him all these years.
In July 1890 his wife was taken
from him and the shadow of this
bereavement so saddened his life,
that he was unable to bear the dis
tresses that came to him in the lat
ter years. Infirmities increased
and shut him in till great weak-
ness entirely prostrated him and
he died April 29 1894, aged 74 years
His funeral was conducted on
Monday afternoon by his pastor
from the Presbyterian church.
Messrs. J. A. Abernethy, A. Nixon,
Dr. Thos. Costner, S. W. McKee,
H. E. Ramsaur, R. S. Reinhardt,
pall bearers, followed by his old
gentlemen friends in pairs to the
grave.
Thus has passed away one of the
conspicuous land marks of the
town. He was a merchant here
for 60 years, whose business integ
rity gave commercial credit
wherevei his name was known.
Reliable and successful, he served
his patrons faithfully and none
ever conducted or deserved a bet
ter business. He was wll con
nected with the old families of the
county and a cheerful supporter of
he best that has been thought and
done here for half a century.
He has been in the Presbyterian
church and its oldest Elder and
till 1887 the Superintendent of its
Sunday School. Constant in at
tendance upon the services of his
church, liberal in its support, kind
to the poor and a thoughtful con
tributor tothe benevolent agencies
of the church and the trusted
friend of his pastor for more than
22 years.
"After the pain and sickness,
The tears are all wiped away;
After the deep heart sorrow,
An end of every strife ;
After the daily crosses.
A glorious crown of life."
''He came to his grave in full
age, like as a shock of corn cometh
in its season."
''A woll insbeep'i clothing"' the
substitute offered by tbe 'cutter" as
being just as good as Ajer's Sarsap
arilla. If you don't want to be bir..

Origin Spring Days.
Tbe spring should be pre-ouiineut
ly a season ot contentment, happi
ness and hope. Iu these bright and
pleasant months tbe country should
enjoy its highest degree of tranquili
ty and prosperity. Botapring, it is
well known, in often a period of dis
cs nnlort and dis'uibanoe in tbe
pbuical fjsteuj. Important organs
ot the body boo -me torpid 01 irieg
ular in their action, and the fact is
instantly reflected in the mental
condition of tbe individual. A dis
ordered liver means disordered
nerveo and a dull and untf ady
brain. Anything which will bring
tbe physical system into harmony
with budding Naturs con fern an e
normous benefit upon tbe nation,
besides tbe mere allaying of physi
cal discomfort. Hood's Sarsaparil
la does this, as thousands of grate
ful and happy men and women can
testify, and increased use of tbis
standard spring medicine is of more
real practical importance in promo
ting health and quiet in the busi
ness world than reams of abstract
theorizing.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of tbe country than all other
diseases put together, and until tbe
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many jeaie
doctors pronounced it a locai dis
ease, and prescribed-local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
wjih local treatment, pronounced it
lucorable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a c: nstitutional disease
and therefore requires constitution
at treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
mannfrc ared by F. J Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O., is the only consti
tutional cute on tbe market It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drcps to a teaspoonful. It acts di
lectly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one buudred dollars for any case it
fails to cure, aend for circu'ars
and testimonials. Addres,
