TIRED OF LIFE.
Mrs. Hanes Hangs Herself and Dies.
There was a .suicide near
Clingman last Saturday
Mrs. Lena JEEanes, wife of the
late Bud Hanes, took her own
life Saturday afternoon by
hanging herself to the joist.
She had had -symptoms of
craziness, but was thought ; to
be all right again. She and
her four little children were
alone that evening, when she
told them she had lived long
enough and sent them to their
grandpa's. The children told
about what their mother said
and some of the folks went to
the house immediately, but
found her hanging by a rope
fastened to the joist, dead.
She was the daughter of Mar
tha Shores. Her mother killed
herself a few years ago in the
same manner and in the same
neighborhood. She leaves four
little children; her husband
died last winter.

Important Town Matters.
The town Commissioners
met in special session with a
number of citizens of the town
and discussed matters concern
ing debts due the town. The
following matters were acted
upon:
The Mayor was instructed to
direct the Clerk of Court to is
sue execution on the judgment
in favor of the Town against
the Hotel Co., and that the
Sheriff be instructed to forth
with make levy upon all- per
sonal property in the Hotel and
cause sale thereof to be made
on the first Monday in July
1896 the day of Corns, sale.
T. S. Miller, receiver, was
requested to collect from Clerk
Vannoy, such jnouey paid him,
on rents of the hotel property
due prior to the date of judg
ment in the supplementary
proceeding, and pay the same
to the town treasurer, and that
the Clerk have only such mon
y as has accrued on rents
since said supplementary pro
ceedings. 4 Town Treasurer wasidirected
to pay taxs collector Pardue the
the amount of taxes due town
by Hoel Co.
Col. W. H. H; Cowles lntro
duce'd the following resolution
which was adopted:

Pic-nic at Roaring jRiYer. T
it there were ever a kinder
or more generous hearted peo
ple than those in and round
.about Roaring River, we have
jao idea where you will firid
them, and of course the very .
mention that there was a pic
nic there Saturday is to say
that everybody present enjoyed
it. The good women had pre
pared an elegant dinner of the
beEt in the land more than
enough for the large crowd!
present. And this is saying a
great deal when it is remem
bered that Sidnev Church.
John Birchett, Herb Greene
and the editor of this Cosmo
politan were there in full force
and effect. The picnic grounds
are above he mills, back from
the river a short distance, on a
nice little stream. It is de
lightful picnic ground, having
the requisites of picturesque
and rugged scenery, dense and
shady forests, and banks of
ivey and fern,. and one of finest
springs of sparkling water in
the State, of the like of which
some poet has said, "there's
life and strength i n every
drop." The day was lovely,
the people congenial and kind,
and all went "merry as a mar
riage bell."
At night there was a social
gathering a t Maj. Jas. H.
Foote's, and if we were to
guess at the number present,
we would say that the wholo
country was there. Between
music, dancing and friendly
conversation the evening was
delightfully spent.
The occasion will be remem
bered long hence.
The Wilkesboro delegation
is under special obligations
to our friend Mr. Combs for
taking them in and caring for
them so elegantly while there.

Thfo Rev. Floyd Hoppers the

Piney Grove recently and de
livered one of his best homa

dividual had the attention of
some of the assembled congre

ble braying.
Farmers are considerably be
hind with their work owing
to a misunderstanding about

Jess. Alexander wants the
free coinage of copper, owing
to the scarcity of stills.
Rev. Mr. Church, salesman
for the Wilkesboro . Marble
Works, was in this vicinity re
cently and sold several tomb
stones. The gold bugs have not be.
gunr to crawl in this section
yet, so I don't think they will
be big enough , to do much
damage by election in Novem-.
ber.
If Linney runs for Congress
on the gold bug platform, he
will, without a doubt need
some free silver to put his stiff
ened joints in active motion
after November election.
