FOUND DEAD.
Stephen Napier's Life
less Body in Wagon
This Morning.
Stephen Napier was found
dead this morning (Friday)
in an old wagon body in a
back lot in RockiDgham,
near Sheriff Hinson’s cotton
gin.
Coroner Daniel Gay was
notified and held an inquest,
the following gentlemen serv
ing on the jury : A. M. Smith i
S. C. McDonald, John N.
Hasty, T. C. McKay, C. C.
Shores and Harrison Shep
herd. Tlioir verdict was
that death resulted from
natural causes.
He was seen in the early
part of the night, near the
scene of his death, and was
complaining of being sick,
saying that he was going, to
Midway, but as he had been
drinking, not attention was
paid to him.
Stephen Napier was a good
workman and hiB services
were always in demand at
high .wages, but his thirst foi
strong drink, which he seem
ed unable to control, wrought
his ruin. But with all his
faults he had some virtues,
and we trust he realized his
condition before it was too
i&le,* ifnfSfe pc.-* a
God, and that it is well with
his soul now.
THE METROPOLITAN

tion of Almshouse.
In one of diatricta there lived*

year after ahe waa inaured ahe
thought ahe bad better give her
policy up, but the ugant aaid’’no,
and after a deal of perauaaiou
got her to go on with it. Shortly
after ahe fell aick, the phyaician
aaw at onoe that aha had no chance
to live, and, aa ahe had neither
money uor frieuda, recommended
her removal to tin almehou**.
"Oh no," aaid thi lady with
whom ahe boarded, Katie haa a
policy in tho Metropolitan, and
it will pay her doctor’* bill and
all the other expenaea.
After three month* aickneea the
died; but daring that time ahe
reoeived every comfort and atten*
poeaiblp. The Induatrial policy
had aaved her from the humil.
intion of the almahouae.
