TKIBLTE5 TO MRS. WlirEK.
Remarks of Her Horn Papers on
Her Ufc and Value to Her Adopt
ed Home.
The Gainesville, Kit., Star, pub
lished at the Lome of the late Mrs.
W. B. Puifer, pays this beautiful
and sincere tribute to ber memory:
Florence Houston was bora iu
I'niou county, X. C, July 2t, 1KM,
ami died in Gaiuesville July 4,
1'HII, aged 31 years aud 20 days.
Her Ntreuta moved to Monroe when
Florence was a small child, where
she grew up into beautiful woman
hood. She was educated iu Greens
boro, N. C, aud while a student iu
college became a member of the
Methodist church. She and Mr.
W. B. Phifer were most happily
married September I, XS'.m, and
came to Florida aud made their
home at Kochelle, nutil they came
toGainesville about four years ago.
''Mrs. Pbtfer was a nnast excel
lent woman, oue of the Iswt in our
city. Those who knew her most
intimately prized her most highly.
It is not every couimnmty that is
blessed with a character so rare as
hers. She was one of the queens of
earth, whose life and character eu-
tilled her to a crown of enduring
beauty and glory. Highly educated,
retiued, loving and loyal, intellec
tual and religious, she prenented a
beautiful combination of rare ele
ments of character that oue seldom
sees.
"As a mother she was one of the
liest. Her rhildreu received a
mother's welcome aud a mother's
kind aud thoughtful attention. She
believed that a mother could not
turn over the rearing of children
to others while she passed her time
lu fashionable living. 1 lie world
needs more mothers of ber type.
"Her t-hristlau life was regular,
true and pure. She lived as a fol
lower of her Master should. Her
religious convictions gave color to
her entire life. She did not make
religion a cloak of seeming respec
tability, but it was a first piinciplc
and controlling power ill her life.
The church of which she was a
member will miss her effective ser
vice w hich she so gladly and cheer
fully rendered.
''Gainesville has lost a gifted
woman; the church, a godly mem
ber; her husband, a loving, devoted
wife; her children, a true mother;
her family, a loving sister, ami her
friends, a trusted and high minded
associate. The sympathy of the
entire community w ill lie generally
given to the bereaved relatives ol
the deceased."
And the Daily Sun of the same
place has the following:
"I lie funeral was conducted from
Kavanaiigh Methodist church ut .'t
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Kev.
W. J. Cai'is-iiter officiating. The
Home Mission Society of the Meth
odist church, of which deceased
was president for two years, as
sembled at the residence and pre
ceded the remains to the church,
where a large circle of friends were
iu waiting to pay the lust respects
to their departed friend.
''In his remarks Mr. ( arm-iiter
was most impressive, paying a
lieautiful tribute to the life and
work of the deceased. Hie cere
mony was a touching one, and there
were few dry eyes in the congrega
tion ut the close.
"A huge number of friends ac
companied the remains to Kver
green cemetery, where tho iuter-
meiit was held and the service con
cluded. The pall liearers were
Messrs. J. M. Dell, W. L Floyd,
I W. Fennell, X. K. Fagan, Fer
dinand Bayer and W. It. McKin
stry. The floral decorations wei
as Is'iiiitiful and fragrant as they
were elalsirate, and came as last
tokens of love and esteem."

It. B. ltedwine has tieen suggest
ed for one of I'uiou county's ltepre
seuatives iu the next (ieueral As
sembly of North Carolina.
e heartily endorse the sugges
tion, and call upon the liemocrats
of I'niou county to place that trust
in his bands. He is a man or aim
ity and courage and loyal to every
interest of his county. He is a man
who thinks for himself and has
convictions of his own; more still,
he has the courage to maintain
them. He is lovul and true to every
trust reposed in him. Whether as
a lawyer, farmer, or business man
he hits been strikingly successful.
With It. B. Kedwine iu the House,
every (luestiou affecting the inter
est of the State or county would
receive the closest scrutiuy and the
people would have nothing to fear
on bis account. His honesty aud
integrity, his inflexible fidelity to
bis trust, bis love of principle aud
his unswerving stand for justice
aud right, have marked him out as
one of the very best to whom I nion
county coulu confide her allairs at
Ituleigh in the next General Assem
bly. He having consented to per
mit his name to go before the peo

lie held on the ZOt h day or August,
we therefore confidently call apoa

When the Atlanta train came in
this morning Constable Bivena was
at the depot aud saw a negro come
In beating the train, and attempted
to arrest him. The negro ran and
the officer followed him, but got
tangled np in a clothea wire and
got benind. He drew his pistol
and shot in the air three times to
attract attention in the hope that
some one would help or the man
would atop, but neither happening,
he shot at the negro and hit him in
the back. He then overtook him
near the jail, arrested him, aud
called Dr. Blair. The latter found

In Monroe there is a quiet gen
tleman of small stature and well
trimmed gray heard, who always
walks fast. He is an old mau uow,
hot his energy is uuuluted ami his
activity is that of a man thirty
years younger.
History has written largely of the
California gold fever of ' V. When
gold was accidentally discovered
out there, the rush from all parts
of the world was like an avaUnche,
as much so as that day of iiiiMW
sible travel would permit. Audio
the feverish throng that converged
in that Aladdiu land of gold, was
the now benevolent, gray haired
gentleman of Monroe. He was lint
a Uy then, and yet lives to tell
merely asau incident of his long and
eventful life, the story of how he
ran away from his home in Xt,
sailed the Atlantic and great Gulf,
landed at Colon, walked across the
Isthmus of Panama on the very
line 'twas but a native tmil then
where the great canal is to run.
shipied Uhiii the Pacific, landed at
San Francisco with :t cents in his
pocket, and siient five years in the
gidd fields. As mere matter of de
tail, it may lie mentioned that on
the vnvage out, he was knocked
dowu by a native black, who drew
a cai.e knif across his throat by
wav of suggestion, afterward had
yellow fever, and did police duty
where there was no law save the
will of the vigilance committee.
Tis something in these piping
times of eace to have followed a
trail across Panama aud to have
Wn with the wild and daring men
who sought gold in California iu
the fifties. One thing more the
gray haired man of the present still
has as a precious possession, the
little :t cent piece which was in the
pocket of the runaway Isvy when
lie landed iu California in '.VI.
nd hoy and tmiu, all these years,
lie has sought gold in its original
state. Ami his search must have

"Yon can just put if down,"
said Mr. 11. C. Williams, who at
tended the national convention,
that Bryau was the big mau in
that convention, and not another
one touched hi in. The people w ere
with Bryan in that convention just
like they were with Bob Glcuu at
GreenslMtro.'' Mr. Frank Armlield
was also there and gave it this way:
1 hey cheered Cleveland tlnrteeu
minutes, thev cheered Parker
twenty minutes and Hearst thirty
minutes, but blamed Lf they didn't
cheer Bryan all the time!"
"We are all united again," said
Maj. I.. D. Andrews, "but you
must still write Bryan dowu as the
idol of the American people."
"I shall certainly bring Treas
urer Williams a mess of potatoes
next time I come to town," Mr. M.
('. Austin announces, "but I want
to say that the trouble was not iu
the seed, but in the moon."
"A few days ago," said I!ev, Dr.
Higgs, "I was dow n in Northamp
ton county, where I used to live
and where they have the finest
farms in the laud. Mr. It. P. Bur
gwyn has a series of firms embrac
ing 10,(1(10 acres. He is getting
together ull the land that his father
owned before the war. General

quite so well cultivated. We lie

A carriage in which Mm. O. L.
Stewart and Miss Virginia Brown
were being driven home fiom
church Sunday night was run into
by Jell Durgan, a negro driver,
and overturned and the occupants
much bruised and badly frightened.
Miss Brown is n nurse from Char
lotte, who has been attending Mr.
O. L. Stewart, who has fever. The
latter is convalescing now, and as
Mrs. Stewart ami the nurse had
teen confined so long, Mr. Stewart
insisted on theirgoing out to church
Sunday night. As they were near
Sikes' stables, returning, they met
a vehicle being rapidly driven, in
which were two young nieo from
Charlotte going to the depot. The
drivers collided and the ladies' car
riage was dragged a considerable
distance and overturned. 1 he la
dies were taken into the residence
of Mrs. J. W. GritVui and a doctor
summnnned. The driver, Jeff Ihir

The "Little Rose Baby" Was Never
Identified -Pathetic Incident.
N.w Y.irk C,irrvtu.l,-ne- Charltillr oWi-wr.
Iu the first lot of Itodies from the
wreck of the General Slocum sent
to the morgue, there was oue of a
baby girl, a little fair haired girl
alMiut a year old. No one identifi
ed it. No one asked alsmt a baby
that could possildv lit the descrip
tion of this one although its dress
indicated well to do parents. Ev
ery day great crowds that culled to
try to identity Itodies passed by this
one. It excited comments and
some oue pi need a rose upon it.
The morgue keepers referred to it
as "the child with the rose," and
advert ismeiits and newspapers re
ferred to it the same way, and al
though no one claimed it, all who
entered the place would ask to be
direct 1 1 to that portion of the build
ing where the "little rose baby"
was asleep. One of the largest un
dertaking establishments in the
city took charge ot the burial and
hail services lor the child iu their
chapel, ami a funeral interment in
keeping with the great sympathy
the child's late had aroused, lic
tween oue thousand and eleven hun
dred persons perished and yet near
ly every person was identified and
the Isitly claimed. But the tiny
"child with the rose" went to the
grave that way, the pink roue being
buried with her.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea
after teu years of suffering. ! wish
to say a few words in praise of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera tod Diarrhoea
Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie Burge of
Martinsville, Vs. "I suffered from
chronic diarrhoea for 10 years sod dor
ins; that time tried various medicines
without obtaining toy permanent re
lief. Last summer one of my childreo
was taken with cholera morbus, and i
procured t bottle of this remedy. Only
two doses were required to give her en
tire relief. 1 then decided to try the
medicine myself, and did Dot use til of
one bottle before I wtt well tod I hive
never since beea troubled with that
complaint. One cannot ear too much
in favor of that wooderful medicioe."
