Death of Mrs. Skipper?Havoc of ] ( Drouth?A Live Road Engineer, ' Andrews, July 30:?I am called j upon to chronicle one of the saddest fliat Kqo ImnrwnriH in nnr UVUbUO LiiUVr uuo ON. ? ... ~ feiwn for years. I refer to the de- , mise of Mrs Anna Skipper,the young wife of Mr S S Skipper. Mr and Mrs Skipper had both been very ill for some weeks. Mr Skipper is convalescing, but Mrs Skipper had a change for the worse last Friday and in spite of the skill of two attending physicians, supplemented by the j, tender ministering of loved ones and frienas, the end came at 3 o'clock Saturday morning and the spirit of Mrs Skipper winged its flight to the better world. The deceased left two very small children, besides her husband, and a host of other kindred and friends to mourn her departure.' Mrs Skippetwas from Mount Tabor, N C, and had been living in our i ;town for 4 or 5 years. All who knew' her loved her. Still our community is in the grip i of an awful drought and it seems that crops will be a total failure. The writer drove about 5 or 6 rniles last Friday afternoon up the w .. ? old (japway roaci, in tne narmony church neighborhood, and to our utter surprise that old, thrown-away road has been built into a new, upto-date thoroughfare by our hustling and competent Road Engineer, John M Eaddy, and his road-building force. Our county has had more roads built and repaired in the past 6 months than we have had in 12 i months heretofore, but the work itself speaks louder than words. What's the matter with our road 4 builders at the Trio end of our Trio- \ Andrews road, which is completed, ahnrt nippp npflr Trio? < \>AW|/V VMV V f ??? ...... _ _ Come out, boys, and complete the s # road, you ean do this so quick that j you will not know it is done. Let's have an up-to-date road. 1 "The Prodigal Son" of Trio was 1 noted on our streets Friday. Come 1 again, Mr B, we are always glad to bring out the "fatted calf." 11 There was a series of services J' held at the Spring Gully Baptist * church all of last week. We are in- 5 formed that much interest was excited by the meeting,which was con-j1 ducted by Rev Mr Whalev of George-j town. A lot of good has been accom- j plished. There have been 18 or 20 ! ^ additions to the church-roll, also the i 4church has been spiritually built up. j f hope a great deal of good may ^xollow this divine's labors and that ;' h^ may be able to win many souls '( for his hire.

His soldiers, desirous of giving their great leader a right royal burial, inclosed his t*>dy first in a casket of gold, this in one of silver and this in one of lead, and transported it into a desert There slaves were selected. and under the direction of men who were sworn to secrecy they dug the grave of the dead monarch. When this was accomplished no traces of the ?pot were left. The slaves were all craeuy siaio. Alarlc, king of the Goths, the celebrated conqueror of Rome, died when with his army at Cozenza. south Italy. His men turned the course of a river, interred the body of their sovereign, with much treasure, in its bed and restored the stream to its channel. No man has ever lighted on the resting place of either of these kings, who in this respect resemble Moses, of wbom'it is written. "No man knoweth of'hic sepulcher unto this day." Died From Bad Writing. German handwriting attains a degree of illegibility nnknown In Latin script. A tragic Instance of this fact was afforded by the death of Joluinn Bacher. an Austrian musician of the last century. Bacher spent most of his leisure for fifteen years in compiling u history of the Viennese opera. When the manuscript was completed he submitted it to the Imperial academy. which had promised to publish it. In three months It was returned with a statement that no member of the academy could decipher it. Bacher then sought to have II: copied, but no copyist capable of deciphering it was to be found. Asa last resource he determined to dictate his work to nn amanuensis only to discover that he greater part of the manuscript was Illegible even to himself. The thought of his wasted years of labor unhinged his brain, and in a fit of depression he committed suicide. Going Back a Lung Way. lick up any peerage book and you will find it bristling with ancestral names whos\? presence Is much more difficult to explain than that of the fly in the amber. And as you descend in the social scale the fictions multiply? from :he pedigrees of the landed gentry to the family trees proudly cherished in hundreds of middle class homes. But these lineages, aspiring as they are. are of mushroom growth compared with many that are claimed with seeming honesty. At Mostya hall you may see a vellum roll, seven yards long, headed by no less famous an anceslor than "Adam, son of God." Another pedigree at the college of heralds starts thus modestly with Adam and the garden of Eden, and Wales has many a family tree which traces descent with unerring hand from the same remote origin. What Became of the Tr>)users. Of J'.idge Parry's many stories of the Manchester county court that about the comedy of a man's Sunday trousers Is one of the best. In the plaintiff's box was a woman, in the defendant's an elderly collier. The plaintiff stated ber case: "I lent you moil's missis my mon's Sunday trousers to pay 'is rent with, an' 1 want 'em back." The defendant at first replied. "There's nowt In it a: all." Pressed for a more definite reply, he scowled at the judge and protested. "Why. the 'o!e street knows ill about them trousers." But Judge Parry was not the " 'ole street," and he patiently encouraged the defendant to talk until be got the explanation. "Why, yon woman 'an my missis drank them Sunday trousers."?
