Death of Mrs. Luetta Duncan
On Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock
at her home near Berea, Mrs. Luetta
Duncan departed this life in the 71st
year of her age. Mrs. Duncan was
the widow of the late Mr. John Henry
Duncan who died 11 years ago. Since
the days of her childhood she had
been a consistent member of Mt.
Zion Baptist church where she was a
familiar figure on preaching days.
Her place as a neighbor will be hard
to fill. During all the long years in
which she had resided in Berea sec
tion, no one ever called upon her for
help that she did not respond. The
funeral services were held in Mt.
Zion church Sunday afternoon, con
ducted by her pastor, Rev. C. A. Up-
church. At the conclusion of the
services in the church, the remains
were conveyed to the burying ground
near by where they were interred
amid scenes of sorrow such as is
rarely witnessed at a burial. She
leaves five daughters and three sons
and a large number of other relatives
and friends to whom we extend our
heartfelt sympathy.
Dr. W. S. Cozart of Holly Springs,
spent Sunday with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. W. S. Cozart.
Messrs. E. D. Hunt, W. Z. Mitchell,
and W. J. Webb of Oxford were vis

Culbreth, Saturday morning.
Missionary Society Re-organized
The Woman's Missionary Society
was reorganized and a Sunbeam So
ciety organized at Tally Ho church
last Sunday afternoon. The pastor
of the church, Rev. H. G. Bryant, was
present and opened the meeting with
an appropriate address on this line
of church work. Mrs. John Webb of
Oxford who was to have been there
to perfect the organization not being
present, Mrs. G. T. Lumpkin of Ox
ford acted in her stead. Brief r-e
marks were made by Mrs. J. D.
Brooks of Oxford and an address
was made to the Sunbeam class by
Miss Sallie Webb, who is the leader
in this work in the Oxford Baptist
church. Mrs. Lumpkin followed in
a most interesting talk describing the
late Woman's Missionary Convention
held in Winston-Salem. Like her
husband, Rev. G. T. Lumpkin, she is
an excellent speaker, her ideas being
expressed in clear, elucidating Eng
lish. At the conclusion of her ad
dress Mrs. W. S. Gooch was chosen
president of the Woman's Missionary
Society; Miss Ettie Washington, vice-
president; Miss Fannie Bragg, secre
tary and treasurer. Mrs. Naomi
Honeycutt was elected president of
the Sunbeam Society.
Mrs. W. S. Gooch returned home
Sunday from a visit to her mother,
Mrs. Burroughs in Washington, D. C.
Her visit was curtailed by the illness
of her daughter, Mrs. M. S. Mayes,
who we regret to note is quite sick.
We are glad to note that Mr. M. H.
Bragg who has been confined to his
home for several days, is much better
and was able to resume his work at

Fifteen Thousand Watch Mob Burn
Negro Boy on Public Square
WACO With 15,000 persons as
witnesses, including women and chil
dren, Jesse Washington, negro boy,
who confessed to the assault and
murder of Mrs. Lucy Fryar, seven
miles south of here last Monday, was
taken from the fifth district court
room shortly before noon and burned
on the public square.
The burning came immediately af
ter the negro's trial had ended and
the jury had returned a verdict oij
guilty giving him the death penalty.
Some one not far from; the negro
started the cry of "Get the negro."
It was taken up by all of those from
the part of the county where Mrs,
Fryar was killed, and Washington
was then seized and removed from
the court room. The crowd at first
seemed willing to hang the negro
from the suspension bridge, but a
suggestion that he be burned on the
plaza met with instant response and
he was dragged to the city hall yard,
where the chain, already around his
neck, was thrown over the limb of a
tree, wood hastily secured and the
fire started.
Hickory According to the records
of the registrar of vital statistics
there were two deaths in Hickory
during the month of April and 11
births. For the township there were

I believe there is a spirit of uni

good deeds and worthy enterprises
of the world, that inspires noble con

that resists vice in private and cor
ruption in public life, that lifts up
the fallen and protects the weak,
that, cheers the upright and con
founds the wicked, that creates liber
ty and destroys tyranny, that engen
ders hope and honor and sympathy
and love, and teaches all mankind to
reverence the mercy and goodness
and wisdom of Almighty God. Ex
