Last week, just after we
had printed, some nice looking
fellow from the region round
about Ashe, called for a sam
ple copy of the Great Cosmo
politan. He seemed to compre
hend its brilliant items, until
he came to the items concern ing
the "Millinery Openings".
He turned slightly pale, and
with quivering lips he asked:
"Are they going to use canonT
or just common guns?" We told
him we supposed they'd have
cannons. He immediately left
town at a brisk gait.

have cheeiful blazing fires

Mrs. McBride Dead.
Mrs. Martha MVTlWrl
died
Apru 1st, at her home here.
Though ripe in years and; all
knew her y days were !about
spent by reason of. age, the an
nouncement of her; death
caused a sadness "all over .the
city. Her pastor Mr- Brad
shaw pays a tribute to her life
in this column, and we
need only add ; a word. t She
has been lving in Wilkesboro
about 15 years, and she was
beloved by all. She was a
mother to the moth'erless, a
friend to the friendless, and
always had a kind and encoiir
aging word for all. Her fife
was that of the highest type
of christian endurance and
charity and . kindness. She
was buried at Brier Creek?
church, her old home. A no
ble woman whose long life has
been well spent has gone to
her reward. I
In Memoriam.
Mrs. Patsy McBride died
April 1, 1896, at her home in
Wilkesboro. She was born
Feb. 17, 1812. She was mar
ried to Martin G. McBride
Aug. 15, 1844. Mr McBride
died some eighteen years ago
and then she came to Wilkes
boro to live with her only
child, Mrs. Ginnings. Mrs.
McBride united with old Brier
Creek church early in life she
bas been a member about 60
years and through all these
years she livid a consecrated
christian life. She was ripe
with years and had long been
a ; sufferer from a painful
cough but she mui mured not.
Her daily prayer was that
GodTs will might be done
Uentle by nature and kind at
heart, her sweet influence was
indelibly impressed on al 1
with whom she came in con
tact. Those in less fortunate
circumstances than herself al
ways found in her a true
friend. None were ever turn
ed away empty.
Here we have an example
well worthy our emulation and
may we all profit by her well
spnt life. Especially conspic
uous and lovable were the
traits of her life, as exemplified
in the home circle. Of her it
could be said: "She was the
keeper of home." And, now
that that home, so long bright
ened by her presence, is made
desolate, may the hearts of the
children, relatives and friends,
be united to God, the only
comfort. . And may each - so
live as to be prepared, to meet
with mother gone, in the beau
tiful beydnd
. Pastor.
