; s Sad Accident.
It is with "peculiar sadness
we note the accidental death
of Mr. John Parleir's little boy
at King's treek, which occurr ed
Saturday. The boy. little
Roy, was about 10 or 11 ; years
old. ; The colored servant was
throwing manure out of the
stable with a fork. The oy
ran by the door just as the ne
gro thraw out a fork full. The
prongs penetrated the little
fellows head- This occurred a-
boiit llo'clock and the boy died
about 6 o'clock. JDeath is al
ways sad, but doubly so when
under such accidental circum
stances. But He who numbers
the sparrows' fall, knows best.
We must bow to His will.
LOCAL MATTERS.
; The Bond Case. -
The interview of Capt. Price
attornev for the railroad and
who was promised a fee of
$25,000 for appearing in the
Wilkes bond case, seems to
have disturbed some of our
people. We can see no cause
for this. Capt. Price's inter
view was a sorter of expression
of a dying hope and you can
scarcely figure out what the
'interview" claims, stud it
as carefully as you may. All
the Washington dispatches
and all the newspaper reports
corroborate what we said last
week, that the county has won
the suit. Even those papers,or
most of .them, giving Mr.
Priee's interview, editorially
acknowledge that the county
has won, and criticize it for
doing so. There is no need
for uneasiness as we can see.

Mr. Elbert Pardue captured
a large ha wk last week. The
hawk was discovered down at

large duck. A trap was made
and set and in a short while
the hawk returned and walked

tomer and had been feasting on
ducts for years. Oue eye was
blind and there were scars oh
him, showing that his path had
not always been strewn with

A Home Inrention.
Our townsman, Mr. D. E
Smoak has just received a pat
ent dated March 19th 1901, No.
670066, for a Heatar. We have
examined the patent.; we feel
sure it is a very worthy and
useful invention and will fully
or more than measure up to
the excellencies claimed for it
by the inventor. It is claimed
that this Heater has no equal
for heating dwellings, church
es, school houses, etc., and for
canning purposes, making mo
lasses, making whiskey and
brandy, heating water for
washing and scouring and all
other purposes where hot
water or heat isjaeeded.
The official Patent Office Ga
zette just out contains only
three patents to North Caroli
nians and we feel proud that
one of the three and we feel
the most useful of the num
ber was granted to one of our
own townsman. It is certain
ly one of the oest things in the
shape of a heater we have ever
seen, and we hope he will have
that abundant success which
the invention deserves.

Death of J. T. Norris.
" Our former countyman, J.
T. Norris died recently at his
home in Asheville. An Ashe
ville paper giv es the following
account of his death:
Jacob T. Norris died at his boarding
place on Hay wood street this morning
at 9 o'clock) after a critical illness of
only a few days. ' . ,
Mr Norris had been slightly ill at
various times for several ; months, but
was rare'y kept to his bed until two or
three weeks ago, and the rapid impair
ment of his health was areat surprise
to his friends
Mr. Norris was a native - of Wilkes
county and was 27 yeara of age. He
was formerly employed here in the
office of the Cranberry Iron mines, and
later on became the private secretary
of Congressman Pearson. He resigned
to accept the position of cashier in the
internal revenue office here, which
which place be held until a month -or
two ago, when his health began to give
way, and he was transferred to a posi
tion in the same office where his duties
would be less arduous.
It is safe to say that there was no
more popular or sincerily esteemed
young man in Asheville than Mr. .Nor
ris. Although of a modest disposition
his traits of character were so admir
able as to enforce recognition from all
who came in contact with him,
