courgcous, |light for lite, Archie
Bunch peacefully passed away.
His request was granted-he had
died at homo-nursed by those
who loved him. Archie lied a
great many friends, and many
licarts were saddened that this
young life (for he was less than 30)
was so soon cut off. A very largo
concourse attended tho burial
services-conducted by Revs.
Leonard and Freeman. Archie
was buried with masonic honors
was a member of tho M. IO.

FROM BUD COVINGTON
His Comments on Men and Af
fairs at Clio.
Clio, March 80-The doctors in
form nie that tho health of the
community is far better than it
was a few weeks ago. May bc at
tributed* to thc linc fresh meats is
sued from tho Wood ly market as
well as tho strict sanitary inspect
ion of thc members of thc muni
ciprl govcrmcnt.
Some of us arc trying to p?r
suado Capt. W A Hinshaw "who is
a patient and scrvicacblo Sunday
school man" to run for sherill of
thc county, if Brothc Green wants
to retiro after sixteen years ser
vice. It was decided last night
that A. Iv. Newton "commonly
known as Al vi, was thc bcst|
clerk in town".
Thc J. W. Hamer drug store is
becoming a very popular resort
for all classes and ages. Mr. C A
Hubbard ought to have bought]
stock in this company long before
bo did, and by this timo they
would have bad a monopoly.
Wc will state for thc benefit of
Dunk Covington. That wc haro a
population of fortycight hound
dogs inside of tho town, but thc
law carried out like our men carry
tilings, means forty two dollars
for thc treasury. Wc already
have four hundred dollars in thc
town treasury, and paid our may
or double this year what wc have
ever paid in thc history ol' thc
town; paid our chief of police one
fourth more than wc have ever
paid, and our town is in us linc
condition for its 1000 population,
tll venture to say, as any in thc
state. What bas done all pf this ?
Good govcrmont of course and
I for one say hit us keep tho same
ollicers by all means. Let well c
nougli alone since a strict admini
stration of thc law has at last I
brought us peace, quietude and
safety, let US who vote sec to it|
that wc keep it so.
Wc had a note through tho mail
a few days ago from W. H. Gib
son of Gibson N. C. Glad Will
has not forgotttcn us and I want]
one of those smooth room heaters.
Wc arc much pleased at thc ap
pcaarncc of Mrs. II. J. Bennett at]
church once more.
L. D. Bundy has thc best and
most perfect pair of horses in
town, G. K. Welch thinks Lau-;
renee ploughed up a bag ol money*
and said nothing (if it. But I
think thc battle at this period ir
tho. history of thc times is to th cf
industrious.
