Fraa Appendicitis — Fraaral
Services Largely Attended.
Ouc of the saddest deaths
that ever occurred iu Gastonia
was that of young John Harvey
Mocris, which took place at 6:30
o'clock Sunday morning at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
S. M. Morris, on Air Line Street,
The fact that his life had been
despaired of for several days did
not soften the sadness brought
to the family and friends by the
untimely end of one just budding
into vigorous youth.
ror lour weeks be bad been
confined to bis bed, suffering in
tensely nil the while from aa at
tack of appendicitis. On Mon
day, June the 23rd, an unsuccess
ful attempt was made by Drs.
Sloan, Wilson, and Bunting to
remove the appendix. The dis
ease had then reached such a
stage that the doctors decided
it would be impracticable, if not
impossible, to remove the appen
dix, adbeaiou to the walla of the
abdomen having taken place and
peritonitis, or inflammation, hav
ing already aet in.
His entire illness was charac
terized bv intense suffering and
he was kept largely under the
influence ot opiates during most
of his illness. Very little nour
ishment, and that only in liquid
form, was administered and from
the time of the operation it was
known that his death was only a
matter of a few days at most.
Saturday about noon, having
revived from a state of uncon
sciousness, he celled for his boy
friends and associates to whom
he spoke some very tender and
touching words. He begged
forgiveness from any he might
have offended and asked them
all to meet him in heaven.
nc was me second sou o! Mr.
and Mrs. S. Mac Morris and
would have been 15 yearsold the
12th of September. Several years
ago be joined tbe M. E. Church
South and was a member of Mr.
J. A. Glenn’s Snnday school
class. For sometime previous
to bis death he was employed by
Messrs. Spencer and Jenkins,
tinners, and proved himself in
dustrious and alert to his duties.
He was popular among the boys
of his age in town as was evi
denced by the large number who
called at the house Snnday to
take a last look at his face.
The funeral service was con
ducted by bis pastor, Dr. H. F.
Clircitxberg, in the Main Street
Methodist church at 6 o'clock
Sunday afternoon in the pretence
of a large concourse of friends.
Tbe body was then taken to the
city cemetery where, amid sor
row and tears, it was consigned
to tbe grave.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris have tbe
sympathy of the entire town and
of many friends elsewhere in the
untimely taking away of their
loved one._

FIB 1FTEEN YEARS AGO we opened a drug
store In an old frame building In the lit
tle town of Gastonia, then a hamlet of 250
people, with Gaston County's population one
half of what It Is now. The building then
suited the times, but now It Is different.
Gaston County has doubled In population
and Gastonia has grown from 250 to 7,000
people. The old frame store has passed from
the scene of action totally outclassed, and we
are to-day In one of the most complete
modern drug stores In North Carolina.
Our aim has always been to keep In the
front rank and our business career will stand
for Itself as answer to the public. We have
lust equipped our drug store In keeping with
the demands of this progressive day. We
have a store that we are proud of. Ourfrlends
tell us It would be a credit to any city. Come
and see us. We are anxious to have every
man and woman In the county to visit our
store on the Fourth. We want you to be
proud with us that there Is such an up-to
date drug store In the county.
The latch string has always been on the
outside to the good people of Gaston county,*
but on the Fourth we fling our doors wide
open and Invite you to come and make our
place your headquarters. We pledge Our
best efforts to make you have a pleasant day
while In the city. We have equipped our
store with electric fans and want you to come
in and enjoy the breeze they make. You
will think you are on the sea-coast, so de
lightful will the breezes be.
And we will have ice-water running through
our fountain to give you free of charge, and
fans to keep you cool.
Come In and be happy with us for one day.
