MARGARET DUNOVANT,
Just a few weeks ago, the house
hold of our townsman, Mr R L
Dunovant,was overcast with gloom
at the death of little Sophie. Now
we are grieved to learn that the
reaper has claimed another of
these little jewels. Yesterday
(Tuesday) morning,-at 5 O'CIOCE,
the epirit of little Margaret Dun
ovaut took her flight to other
reals, mire suitable to the inno
cence aod purity of childhood.
Margaret was not quite two years
old, and was a bright and b autiful
child May the Lord send com
fort to the bereaved hearts, as he
oulp can.
FIRE I
Mr E J Norris had the misfor
tune on Tuesday, Jajuary 4th, of
having his barn and contents, in
cluding his horse and wagon,burn
ed. . The fire was not discovered
until it hud made considerable
headway, although it occurred at
?bout 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
A negro man iii Mr Norris' employ
opened the stable door and tried
to drive the norse from the build
ing, but to no effect : the animal
refused to leave the stall. The
dwelling and other buildings iu
the jard narrowly escaped being
bumed, as the wiud was very high
and Wowing towards them.. We
are gird to state that the property
was partly insured, r compeusing
in a small measure for the loss.
AT THE OPERA HOUSE,
The play, thf Heroic Dutchman,
given at the opera house Monday
evening last- was a monument to
thekzoal and cleverness of Profes
sor Marshall Moore. In this play,
he took the leading part, manifest
ing a decide I penchant for Dutch
brogue, and keeping ihe audience
' in a continual ripple ot laughter.
But this Dutchman did not car
ry off all of the honors of the even
ing by any mecos; Mr Monz?n
Smith in his impersonation oj the
Southern darkey, crea'ed a feast
of merriment.
Our young friends, MP Wells,
- Jo3 Holland, Wall .oe Sheppard,
Tom Car wi te aud Alex Watson,
were full of the spirit of the occa
sion and enlivened and animated
the scene.
The old Southern gentleman of
ante-bellum days,was well charac
terized- by Mr jobu R Tompkius.
But humor and prthos, alike,a;e
of no avail, if beauty lend not her
presence. This charm was lent to
ihe occasion by'the two heroines
of the play,Misses Helen Sheppard
and Julia Tompkius.
Miss Lucretia Brunson, in the
position of Irish biddy, added hu
mor to the scene. Throughout,the
play was sc full of fun and inci
dent, all well rendered, that the
^aridience came away in high BP*r~\
made the evenings pleasure. i
The proceeds of this evenings li
enjoyment was eevoted to the pro- t
motion of the South Caroliua Co- p
Educational Athletic Asoociatiou. t

MRS A. F CROOKER DEAD, 1
Mrs. Amanda F Crooker,
who had been sick for two
weeks at her home in Bun- :
combe,died on Wednesday at t
5:30 o'clock. She had been j
gradually sinking for twelve f
hours and the loved ones who 0
watched over her knew that t
fl
home would soon be without a
mother. About 5 she calmly c
died without a struggle, and
her her spirit took its flight j
into the great beyond. We a
knew death was lingering 1
near and she would soon be c
in the clutches of cold and 1
cruel death, but we hated to e
give her up. She was a f
good woman, and was tender c
and kind to all, and we all did ;
truly love her. But why do
we mourn ? She is at rest
and will never have to say
good bye and experience the 1
sufferings of this world again, i
The son, sisters and grand- 1
daughter have our sincerest
sympathy. Mrs Amanda F
Crooker would have been 73
years of age next July. She 1
was a member of the Metho
dist church. She leaves one
son, Mr Ben Crooker; one
granddaughter, Miss Coy
Wood, and two sisters, Mrs
Rebeca Jones and Miss Cor
nelia Jones to mourn her ioss.
The funeral services were
held at the home Thursday
morning at io o'clock, con
ducted by her pastor,the Rev
G. W. Davis, after which the
remains were laid to rest in
the family cemetery, near her
home in Buncombe. She is
dead but will long be remem
bered by us all.
