says:
We were in a two-horse No. 21
Nissen wagon going from Wades
boro home on the Brown Creek
church road on Friday, the 22nd
of November, 1907. We were
going on the Wadesboro road in a
slow trot. One mule dashed off
just as we got on railroad. I pull
ed her down and deceased said,
'Let her go." I slacked the reins
and she went on. Just as the hind
wheel got on railroad, the wagon
turned over by being struck by
train. The wagon was covered.
My father, mother, baby and my
self, were in the wagon. I was
thrown some distance and the baby
was thrown about ten feet. My
father was thrown about sixty
feet and was dead when I got to
him. I got to my father before
the train backed to the place where
he was lying. I heard no whistle,
but think that I could have heard
one if it had blown. The train
passed the scene, the hind car
being two hundred 3ards from
where my father lay. The train
backed back and the train crew
placed the body of my father on
the train. My mother was also
placed on the train there. My
father was not drinking. This
was about fb'clock, November
22nd. The scene of the accident
was at Concord crossing. "

"We the jury, duly empanelled
by Coroner L. F. Fenton to try
the cause of death of A. S. Honey

his dath on Friday afternoon, No

head and other parts of body.

Alvin Honeycutt lived near
Wightman church in Burnsville
township and was a well-to-do
farmer. He was an unusually sober
and industrious man and while he
had not accumulated much prop
erty, he lived at home paid his
debts and conducted himself, he
and -his family, as to justly merit
the high esteem with which they
are Iielct in the community. He
was a member of the Cottonville
Baptist church in Stanley county,
near his home four years ago when
he lived in that county. He was
devoted to his church and tried as
best he could to live the Christian
life. Not having been endowed
with an enviable ancestry, he was
endeavoring to do better by his
progency.
The burial was at Cottonville
Seven small children servive the
father who was about 45 years of
age.
Mrs. Honeycut has apparently
lost the sight of her eyes and is at
the point of death at Monroe
where she was carried.

rare painting at the furniture store
of Mr. H. H. Cox a few days ago
where it had been left to be framed.
The work was done by the late
Eliza Ann Leak, wife of Clement
Marshall, and grandmother of
.Miss Jennie rs. iirent, ana was a
prize winner in a contest held in
1824. The design is ancient and
must have been quite in keeping
with the ideas of the times? Pen
ciled beneath a beautiful bouquet
of flowers, is the following lovely
poem, probably written by the ar
tist:
"When Time who steals your years

Shall steal j-our pleasures too:
Remembrance will recall the past
And half your pleasures renew."

Whereas, it is entirely useless,
