JAMES THEODORE CHEATHAM. I COMMISSIONERS MEET. il 1 Miss Grace Watson Blows Out Brains With Shot Gun The story of the suicide of Miss Grace Watson In Fishing Creek town ship on last Thursday afternoon is a san one. She was the 13 year old daughter of John Ii. Watson, who Is well-known In Oxford, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for 25 years about 2 years ago for killing Mr. tsasKett at Henderson, and who escaped from prison. Miss Watson's mother left borne on 1 bursday to visit a neighbor, who uvea near by, and in her absence her daughter took her own life by shoot ing herself through the head. So far as is known the youngglrl had given iiu sign or ner intended act. Her mother states that just as she left home her daughter told her which way to go to the neighbor's house in order to avoid the mud. From her position when found af ter death it Is evident that she placed the shot gun- on a table and rested the muzzle of the gun on her fore head and fired the gun by means of a stick in her hand. While no cause is given for this sad act it is supposed that she took her life on account of trouble from broodinsr over her fath er's condition. Coroner S. M. Wheeler, of Oxford, went out to the home Fridav morn ing and held an inouest over the dead body according to law. The follow ing jury were summoned : J. R Renn, W. W. Brummitt. J. P. Hradsher, B. T. Fuller. A. A. Crews and W. E. Mulchl. After Inquiring Into the facts and circumstances of her death, and hearing the evidence the iurv found as follows: "That the deceased. Grace Watson. came to her death by a gunshot fired by herown hand with intent tocora- mit suicide." This tragic act Is much to be de plored. We extend our sincere sym pathy to the grief stricken famllv In their sad bereavement. Honor Roll of Graded School for 7th Month. Lorine Peed. William Medford.

In contrast to the rule of primogen lture, which prevails in Kngland.lt has orten been said the land In this coun tryrarely remains in the same family for three generations. A strlklngex ceptlon to this rule is the beautiful Cheatham homestead, situated four miles east of Oxford on the waters of Poplar Creek, which was settled by James Cheatham in the 18th century and has been owned by the family for nearly 150 years. From this house have gone out men and women who have exerted an Influence for good in church and state, not only in this state but In far distant states. Of all those none were more worthy than James Theodore Cheatham, sou of James Cheatham, the second, and his wife Rebecca Crews were born the 10th day of August, 1844. Of a bright. sunny disposition, under the teaching of a saintly mother amid the happy surroundings of his ancestral home he grew up to manhood with high Ideals and with a full appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of life. At the age of seventeen he volun teered for the defense of his country tn the great civil war, and enlisted In Co. G. 30th Rg. N. C. T.which was considered one of the best regiments In all the gallant land of Southern heroes. Being a splendid shot he was soon assigned to the sharpeshooter corp of the brigade. Firm of purpose. cheerful under privation and hard ship he was never known to complain ; brave as the bravest he made an ideal soldier. He participated in the taat- t es around Richmond, Sharpesburg, b redrlcksburg, Chancellorsvllle, and on the iaitntul held of Gettysburg. was severely wounded by a piece of shell that had already passed through the body of his Lieut. Colonel. As he could not be moved he was captured by the enemy and taken to Elmlra, New York, where so many Southern boys, unable to stand the rigors of a northern climate and the hardship of prison, yielded up their lives. But his temperate life, cheerful dis position and good constitution brought him up and enabled him to withstand all privations until the war ended. He reached home In June 1SG5, and found conditions greatly changed since he marched so gaily away in 1862 But nothing daunted he went diligently to work to help build up the waste places, and make support for the loved ones, and soon became known as one of the best farmers In the county. Ills in telligent conductof the farm shows what can be done with Granville county land, and Is an incentive to all young men who may wish to make their living by cultivation of the soil. On the 1st day of December, lSGS.he married Miss Elizabeth Hamlin, of Petersburg. Va., and their lives cer tainly furnished a complete refuta tion of the latter day slander that marriage was a failure. No more shining exemplification of the beau ties of a christian home can be found than that furnished bv the lives of Mr. Cheatham and his devoted whV. Hospitable, kind and generous, a warm welcome was extended to friend and stranger alike and ail who came within the benign Influence of that happy home could see and feel that their lives were guided by some fixed purpose, and that their vision was not circumscribed by earthly things. In their children they were pecu liarly blessed, never having had a case of serious sickness In the family, and all ten of them living today use ful citizens of the State and members of the church. Vlrglnus and Charles Hamlin, both excellent farmers; Clifton B., a re markably successful dealer in tobac co in iouisburg; James Theodore Cheatham. Jr., is equally successful In the growing market of Apex; and Sarah, wife of Percy Parham; Rebec ca, wife of Samuel V. Ferebee. mer chant and farmer of Pamlico county; Miss Mary L. Cheatham, of Norfolk; Miss Olivia B. Cheatham, of Clyde. and Mlssie G. and Tazzle being with their mother at the old homestead. Mr. Cheatham never aspired to po litical honors, but he was well in formed on all matters of public inter est, and had positive convictions upon the Issues. He believed it the duty of all good citizens to take an active Interest in pontics, and could always be found at his township and county conventions advocating men and measures that he believed would conduce to temperance and good gov ernment. About Christmas, 1905, he was ta ken sick, and soon realized that bis days were numbered. He lingered for many weeks and give an exhibition of patience and christian fortitude we have never seen surpassed. Though at times suffering seyerely, he never gave to repining, but bore up brave ly, and was always tender and con siderate towards his devoted wife and children who did all that human love and affection could suggest for his comfort, praying a divine father to spare him to them a little while longer. Death had no terrors for him. Early in life he had made his peace with God and when about 16 years of age he joinedlhe Methodist church at Hermon. where he was for many years a steward, and about 20 years ago moved his membership to the Oxford church, of which be was soon after elected a steward and re mained so up to the time of his death. With that same quiet nerve with which he had faced the King of Ter rors on the battlefield he calmly awaited bis approach and at 8:45 o'clock on Thursday mornlng.March 29, 1906, with his loved ones around him he "fell on sleep." assured of "the rest that remalneth for the people of God." On the afternoon of the 30th the the funeral services were held at the home by Rev. F. M. Shamberger, his beloved pastor, amid a large assem blage of relatives and friends, and his body was laid to rest at the side of his father and at the feet of bis grand- rat tier in the family burial ground me honorary pallbearers were Prof. F. P. Hobgood, A. W.Graham, M. H. Hester, George W. Wright, W A. Parham and James B. Belcher, and the active pallbehrers were: Dr. E. T. White, L. B. Turner, John H Bullock, R. L. Brown, W. T. Davis, James T. Cozart, James A. Belcher and W. Z. Mitchell. A.W.G. Grip Quickly Knocked Out.
