One evening only about sixty days ago we were receiving over the 'phone a description of the marriage cere mony of Miss Macie Ilartin to Mr. Donald M. Campbell, both natives of Ridgeway-the ecremony being per fvrined there. Now we are called np n to chronicle the sad death of the bride of tbat occason. Mrs. Campbell and Cr hLsband moved at once to Sow-er, their future home. Very soon afw: her marriage she was taken sick an'd dzuth fin .lly came. The remains were brought to Ridgeway and in terred in the cemetery at that place on Monday, Rev. JabLz Ferris officiating. .e fineral was largely attended and the c:mmnunity was deeply moved by the ,ad occurrence. There has been no greater shock to the people of lI-at place in a great whih. The pall-bearers officiating were: F. P. Hinnant, C. L. Wray, J. B. Boliek, Joseph Coleman, Ollever Mc Eachern, and R. M. Bolick. Thus ends what was boied to be a long and happy married life. The earnest sympathy of the entire cam nnit y go ont to the Afilicicd families. WAS THE DOG MAD f There has been considerable excite neut in the southwctern section of the town over the movements of a certain small dog belonging t!> a iady of that neighborhood. It appears that he went to a neighbor's house, and not a.ved by his insignificant statue, or the asnive statue of other dogs in the eihborhood, p~roceedled to devour hem wiith a relish of hungry bea, te. Ie war, however, escor ted f rom the ouse by the aid of the broom stick, nd at this juncture some one cried, -Mad d.og I" The chief of police was smmoned and a chase was comn nenced. Th~e dlog could not be found hen, but we are informed that he has een "c)!ndemned." It is rumored that one gentleman who started out with the policeman topped at the dispensary (?) and pro ided himself with a cure for dog ites. lie was seen running in the irection in here the dog had benz, but e did niot stop. Ilis imovements could ot b3 understood ur~til be finally uled up in the neighborhood of Mc ants' pond. ller e eat a club from a tree r-ear- by, and urriedly rolling tip l~is pants made for the middle of the waier*. Tno he nervously dr~ew the cork anid administered ti-e antidote for dog b:tes and stool like a defender f his c,>ntr' ' libertyv with his club eady drawn. There was no question ow about his action-water is never nterd by mad dogs.. The next thing that we hear of is that while one-half the community is frightened on ace >unt of this dog that gentleman near by was feeding him t the table with the hope that he ight be mad and would bite all the ogs and cats on his place so that he ight have a valid excuse for exter inating them. The owner of the dog is doubtful about his being mad, but has consented to the sentence, and nless a respite comes we expect to be called upon to detail the execution. e will await with interest the diff'er ent turns and crooks in the case and promise the public full details as to the fnal termination. However, sbould n impatient public desire fuller in ormation before our next issue, we refer them to the chief of police, or essrs. J. W. Seigler, J. M. Stewart, . Q. Davis and J. G. McCants.

The advantage of this is that if you bave one of our buggies and want a cushion, back or top we can send you one to fit. Panels are made of Blae Ridge Mountain poplar.
