Ormand, died at her home on1 Clebourn street Monday morn- , ing-at about 2:30 o'clock. The deceased had been near death's door for several days and her passing away was, therefore not | unexpected. The burial took j place Monday afternoon at 3 a'clock in the town cemetery. ' Miss Ormand was reared in [ the Pleasant Valley section of ! 1 onooofnt* a/miCU? ETO Ljunvaokci i_uunu. one was 06 years of age. In her early womanhood she found it necessary to assume a mother's charge }f the five children of a de- : leased sister, Mrs. A. Kell . Hood. This great task Miss Drmand was only too glad to ] jndertake and under her wise J guidance and tender care these | :hildren, with one exception, ( have now reached the age of maturity. To these, an aged father and a sister, the sympa- y thies of many relatives and , friends go out. . Miss Ormand was a faithful \ member of the Pleasant Hill < Methodist church. Shp was not ' >nly faithful to her church, but \ iust as faithful in believing that j t was her duty as a Christian ^ ;o do the will of her Master at { ill times. She was always ? eady to lend a helping hand in j ;ime of need ?both in acts of ^ dndness and in words. Her j ife was gentle, but like the still j waters it was deep. In her r leart of hearts she carried those ^ jhe loved, and her hand was j, lever weary, her step never c failed in ministering unto, caring for, waiting upon those who ^ were depenpent upon her. t The end was as peaceful as the j dose of a beautiful summer day, . when daylight fades into night t with increasing loveliness. j Road Term and Fine For Kimbrell. \ Two years on the roads of Mecklenburg county and to pay a i fine of $500 was the sentence ^ pronounced Tuesday afternoon j py Judge Councill in criminal t :ourt in the case of the State vs. ( C.

Soon after :he case was called Tuesday norning, Kimbrell took the stand . n his own behalf. He went in- j to the details of his meeting with Charlie Thomas at the Park Driving Club on the evening of the shooting, saying he was exited and scared because he had heard several threats that Thomas I had made against him. He swore that Thomas caught him by the arm, while the latter was in the act of leaving the club rooms, and said: "Now I have got you J and I'll fix you." "I thought that his other brothers were there," said Kimbrell, "and I was afraid that they would double on me and I began shooting." Next on the stand was Charlie Thomas, who told of going with a friend to the Park Driving Club and there found Chas. Kimbrell and others. Sam Kimbrell and Thomas' brother, Felix, had had a i ass at the rair grounds and s Sam insisted on talking to Thomas about it. "I told him that I had i nothing to do with it," Thomas said, "and we shook hands and ( made friends. I started out of 1 the club and when I passed i Charlie he pulled out his pistol ] and shot me twice, one of the , bullets going in my back. I fell and Jhe said, 'D you, I will shoot you again, and he shot ] three more times while I was on \ the floor." Kimbrell has been out under a bond of $2,500 since it was seen that Thomas, the man whom he shot, would recover from his t injuries. Kimbrell is now out under a $2,500 justified bond, -?* JWSX A:/7.
