LINCOLN.
Beautiful Church Wedding- A Demo
cratic Victory Caught on the Shaft
ingLove Came Out Winner.
Lincoln ton Journal, Aujj. 3rd.
Dr. W: L. Crouse, one of
Lincoln county's best known
and most popular citizens, died
at his home here at 1 o'clock
this morning after an illness of
several months.
At the Henry commencement
sometime ago, George Wise, a
son of Ab. Wise, and two sons
of Dan Wise had a fight over
the attentions of the former to
Miss Minnie Wise, a sister of
the latter. But the fight didn't
stop the courtship and last
Sunday the lovers met at
preaching at Bethel church and
slipped away to Morganton,
where they were married Mon
day morning.
Lon Robinson, an employee
at Motz's furniture factory,
had a close squeak for his life
Friday. He was running a
planer and reached his foot
over across the shaft to press
down a weight. A setscrew on
the shaft caught his trousers
leg and jerked him down.
Before the machinery could be
stopped his clothes were torn
f''om him and he was badly
scratched and bruised, but not
seriously hurt. The fact that
he had on light summer clothes
saved his life.
The election in this county
passed off quietly. After such
a whirlwind of a campaign as
that waged all over the county
for a month before the event,

election day was remarkable.

lias neen nearu irom and it is
known that every Democratic
candidate has been elected by
majorities ranging from 125
for Cline for sheriff, to 175 for
Reinhardt for representative.

crease these figures somewhat.
The majority for the State
ticket is about the same as that
for the county ticket. The
majority in favor of the con
stitutional amendment is about
100.

several attempts to make an
entrance into the inner com
