CONSIGNED TO TUB TOMB.
Mr. Oitvsr
After lingering for five weeks be
tween life and death in an Atlan
ta hospital, Mr. Oliver W. Davia
posed quietly away at 4o’clock,
Atlanta time. Friday morning,
April the 25th. At the time of
his death, be was in hia seventy
first year, having been born No
vember the 28th, 1*31, at the old
Annie Kincaid place near town.
Mr. Davis was first married
August 20th, 1*54, the bride be
ing Miss Janette W. Bradley, a
daughter of Mr. Joseph W. Brad
ley. To them were bom twelve
children, only six of whom are
now living. They are Mrs. J. T.
Grist, of Lenoir, Mrs. C. W. Boyd,
Mrs. J. R. Payssoux, Mrs. Ben
Craig, Messrs. W. N. and R. L.
Davis, of Gastonia. Mr. Davia’
second wife was Miss Lyddia C.
Harmon, a daughter of Mr. Hay
wood Hannon, of Rlbethel, the
marriage having taken place
April tne 10th, 1877. The survi
ving brothers of the deceased are
Mr. Isaac N. Davis, of Gastonia,
and Mr. Robert M. Davis who,
when heard from a year ago, was
living in the Indian Territory.
Messrs. J. Calvin Davia and Na
than C. Davia, half brothers, and
Mrs. Nancy A. Kiser, a half lis
ter, are living in Texas.
For twenty years Mr. Davis
followed the carpenter’s trade
successfully and it was while en
gaged in building a house, eleven
years last January, that he re
ceived the injury which was, in
all probability, the cause of his
death. He was a large property
holder, having at one time owned
most of the land on which
the town is situated. His
property, consisting of over
tour hundred acres, extended
from York Street to the Avon,
most of it lying South of the
railroad.
ajc cue our ore ak ot the Civil
war Mr. Davis cast his lot with
the Confederates, enlisting in
Co. B, Capt. Thos. H. Edwards,
28th North Carolina Regi
ment on September 18th, 1861.
The exposure to which he w*s
subjected in the army caused an
almost total loss of speech and
he was discharged for physical
disability July 21, 1863. For fif
teen years his voice was weak,
he being able to talk only in a
whisper. In his later years,
however, his voice came back
to him.
Mr. Davis was s most liberal
man, as was evidenced by his
gifts of land for educational and
religions purposes. The proper
ty on which the Main Street
Methodist church and the
parsonage stand, and also the
property on which the Oakland
High School was erected were
donated by him.
Early in life Mr. Davis joined
the M. E. Church South and
remained a consistent and loyal
member up to the time of nil
death. For many years l«i«
membership was at the old
Shiloh church. Since the
establishment of the Main Street
church he has been a prominent
member having been for a
number of years a member of the
Board of Stewards and Board of
Trustees of that church.
The funeral was conducted in
the Main Street Methodist
church at 10 o’clock Sunday
morning, by Dr. H. F. Chreitx
berg, assisted by Dr. A. M.
vuui|;u ww
filled with friends and relatives
of the deceased. The interment
took place Immediately after
ward in the city cemetery, where,
aommnded by the family and a
boat of friends, his body was
tenderly consigned to its last
***tfnt Th® pdl bearers
were Capt. J. Q. Holland, Mr.
George A. Gray, Mr. W. H.
Jenkins, Mr. George W. Wilson,
Mr. John P. Love, Capt, R. L.

Rider, J. H. Weaver
of Shelby, and Rev. T. H. Sal
year, of Lincoln ton, were hi
Stanley the pest week end en
joyed, the Massey entertainment,
which passed in a moat happy
maimer. The proceeds were
gratifying.
It seems that the good old
North State ("Heaven1# Mean
ings attend her") has two Prof.
Masseys, both of whom have
visited Stanley daring the last
twelve months. Prof. Will, who
is good authority on guanos and
crops, and Prof. Jack, who is an
expert on pianos and hops. But
we have a special claim on Jack
as he claims to have first l«t»ai»d
laughing gas in Gaston county,
the same which be can so readi
ly administer to both old and
young, as the past week so hap
pily attested in Stanley.
ThU musical prodigy, who in
early life was denied one of the
great blessings of life, reminds
one of the blind bard of ancient
boos, who traveled from place
to place singing Us verses.
Homer, like John Howard Payne,
may not have had a home bat
oar Jack has a home and a her.
In the days of bis boyhood he
wished that he had been bora a
mole Though this was or
dered otherwise, still he has
done some trotting, aad being at
times scant of raiment he pro*
cured a hat and cape at Cape
Hatteras, his galluses and vest
at Galveston, his bloomers at
Bloomington and was shod at
Shoe heel. He then trottedover
into Chatham county, there met
s chatterer who soon chatted
her way into his affections and
became the sole chaperone of him
and his chattels, ana his chateau.
Spring is with ns now In so
much splendor that we couldn’t
find fault even with a small fault
itaelf.
Great big strawberries are
shaking their big green fists
at us and the cherries are
swelling as if they were full of
pie.
The new spring buggy doth
seem to ride just right and a
new delivery wagon is the pride
of Richard Carvel White and the
Thomson-Pegram Co.
The Enterprise says that the
Newton Hosiery Hill is bailding
another addition to their plant
and are preparing to pat in more
machinery. The success of this
mill has been both notable and
gratifying.

"You can fool all of the people
some of the time and some of the
people all the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the
the tune."
For years the Western markets
have flooded the country with
their lard or bog fat at a high
price, while fight here ia the
South is mannfactured a perfect
substitute so far superior.
Pal matins the newly discovered
cooking fat isnrenand by South
ern Cotton Oil Co., under die
supervision of the finest chemists
in the country. It baa three
distinct advent gas over bog fat:
Purer, because it is a vegetable
fat; requires a smaller quantity
for same results; nutritious,
thoroughly wholesome and is
cheaper.
Don’t confound, class or as
sociate it with the numerous
compound lards on the market
but ask your grocer for
"Pal matins," end take nothing
else.
