Called to Her Reward.
Mrs. Jane Patterson, beloved
wife of Mr. S. Lee Patterson,
died Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock
at her home in Pleasant Valley
as a result it is thought of injuries
she received in a fall some
days ago. Mrs. Patterson was
77 years of age and had been in
ill health for the past five or six
years, most of the time being confined
to her bed. She was affectionately
known as "Aunt
Jane" by all of her acquaintances.
She is survived by a husband
and one brother, Mr. J. P.
Bailes, also of Pleasant Valley.
The funeral was conducted Monday
morning at 11 o'clock by
Rev. W. M. Owings, pastor of
Pleasant Hill church, at which
place the burial was made.
None but those who have sat
in the shadow of a great bereavement
can justly weigh such
a sorrow as this. Those who
have gone down into the valley
of suffering and stood for months
by the side of a loved one, as
hope after hope dropped away as
the petals fall from a fading
flower, know that such anguish
cannot find solace in the tenderest
words. She who has gone
forth could not be supported on
her solitary path by any earthly
friend. The husband with a devotion
few men are capable of,
whose strength was given sweetly,
tenderly to this precious invalid,
whose heroic devotion never
faltered, could not detain her
by the clasp of earthly love; but
after the last word had been
spoken, the last sign of recognition
was gone, a look of peace

Another Confederate Veteran Dead.
After an illnese of several
months of paralysis, Capt. Martin
M. Wolfe died Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Jno. M.
Harris, in the Pleasant Valley
section of Lancaster county. The
funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. Mr. Bennett, of the Pineville
Methodist church, who took
as his subject "The Resurrection."
Many of those present
stated that the sermon was the
most eloquent and impressive
they had heard. The burial was
made in the churchyard at Pleasant
Hill, and was attended by a
large crowd of relatives and
friends.
Mr. Wolfe is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. J. M. Harris, of
Pleasant Valley, and Miss Mannie
Wolfe, and two sons, Messrs.
YV. D. and M. M. Wolfe, Jr., of
Fort Mill.
Capt. Martin M. Wolfe was a
native of Mecklenburg, having
been born in that county in 1840.
His early life was spent on the
farm and when 19 years of age
he engaged in the mercantile
business at Greensboro, N. C.
It was while thus engaged that
the war between the States came
on and Capt. Wolfe was one of
the first to volunteer his services,
joining a company which was
being organized by C. C. Cole,
editor of the Greensboro Times,
of which he was made orderly
sergeant. His company was
honored by being made the flag
company of the Twelfth N. C.
Regiment. His first service in
the war was when his company
was ordered to Evansport to
block the Potomac river. Later
his command was ordered tc
Fredericksburg and engaged in
the battle of Seven Pines, the
Seven Days fight around Richmond,
the battles of Mechanicsville,
and Gaine's Mill. By the
j death of several of his superiors
I Wolfe had by this time risen tc
the rank of first lieutenant. A
I few days later the battle ol
Frazier's Farm resulted in the
death of the captain. Charles. o1
Wolfe's company and he as
sumed the captaincy. As captain,
Mr. Wolfe led his companj
into many fierce battles, notably
those of Malvern Hill, Cedai
Run, Second Manassas and Thoroughfare
Gap. Capt. Wolfe wa:
painfully wounded while his bri
gade was taking the Manassas
railroad, and was unable to perform
further duties in the army
It has been said by those wh(
knew his war record, that n(
truer or more fearless soldier evei
fought for the "Lost Cause'
than Martin M. Wolfe.
School Opens With Good Attendance

should have a new school building
before the close of this school
i Udor
| J VM* ?
It was self evident that more
i room and more equipment were
needed as every room was crowded
to its utmost capacity on the
opening day. The enrollment
was something over two hun:
dred. Thirty four were enrolled
! in the high school. If the country
around Fort Mill will seize
, the opportunity of the high school
i as they should, the enrollment
will reach fifty. No pains will
be spared to do thorough work in
in this department. We have laid
off the day into seven periods of
I forty minutes each, and each
period is devoted to a recitation
thereby affording ample time for
a thorough discussion of the sub!
ject at hand. We hope to ac;
complish much for the pupils this
year in all departments.
We ask that every parent help
us to further the work bv seeing
to it that the children study at
home, and be punctual and regular
in attendance.
School opens promptly at 8.45
o'clock. The various grades reI
main at school as long as experience
has shown that the best
results can be obtained. The
study period for the afternoon is
irom 3 o'clock to 4.30 o'clock.
The evening study period is from
7.30 to 9.30 o'clock in accordance
with the ago of the pupil. If
the parents see to it that their
children observe these study
periods, we shall do the rest and
much will be accomplished. If
the academy afforded ample accomodation,
we should be glad
to take charge of the afternoon
study period; but until such improvements
are made we shall
have to ask the parents to assist
us. L. M. Bauknight,
Superintendent.
