Death of Mrs. Skipper?Havoc of ] (
Drouth?A Live Road Engineer,
' Andrews, July 30:?I am called j
upon to chronicle one of the saddest
fliat Kqo ImnrwnriH in nnr
UVUbUO LiiUVr uuo ON. ? ... ~
feiwn for years. I refer to the de- ,
mise of Mrs Anna Skipper,the young
wife of Mr S S Skipper. Mr and
Mrs Skipper had both been very ill
for some weeks. Mr Skipper is convalescing,
but Mrs Skipper had a
change for the worse last Friday and
in spite of the skill of two attending
physicians, supplemented by the j,
tender ministering of loved ones and
frienas, the end came at 3 o'clock
Saturday morning and the spirit of
Mrs Skipper winged its flight to the
better world. The deceased left two
very small children, besides her husband,
and a host of other kindred
and friends to mourn her departure.'
Mrs Skippetwas from Mount Tabor,
N C, and had been living in our i
;town for 4 or 5 years. All who knew'
her loved her.
Still our community is in the grip i
of an awful drought and it seems
that crops will be a total failure.
The writer drove about 5 or 6
rniles last Friday afternoon up the
w .. ?
old (japway roaci, in tne narmony
church neighborhood, and to our utter
surprise that old, thrown-away
road has been built into a new, upto-date
thoroughfare by our hustling
and competent Road Engineer, John
M Eaddy, and his road-building
force. Our county has had more
roads built and repaired in the past
6 months than we have had in 12
i
months heretofore, but the work itself
speaks louder than words.
What's the matter with our road 4
builders at the Trio end of our Trio- \
Andrews road, which is completed,
ahnrt nippp npflr Trio? <
\>AW|/V VMV V f ??? ...... _ _
Come out, boys, and complete the s
# road, you ean do this so quick that j
you will not know it is done. Let's
have an up-to-date road. 1
"The Prodigal Son" of Trio was 1
noted on our streets Friday. Come 1
again, Mr B, we are always glad to
bring out the "fatted calf." 11
There was a series of services J'
held at the Spring Gully Baptist *
church all of last week. We are in- 5
formed that much interest was excited
by the meeting,which was con-j1
ducted by Rev Mr Whalev of George-j
town. A lot of good has been accom- j
plished. There have been 18 or 20 ! ^
additions to the church-roll, also the i
4church has been spiritually built up. j
f hope a great deal of good may
^xollow this divine's labors and that ;'
h^ may be able to win many souls '(

Attack Like Tigers.
In fighting to keep the blood pure ^
the white corpuscles attack disease 1
germs like tigers. But often germs 1
multiply so fast the little fighters j
are overcome. Then see pimples,
boils, eczema, salt-rheum and sores
multiply and strength and appetite
fail. This condition demands Electric i1
Bitters to regulate stomach, liver,,1
kidneys and to expel poisons from 1
the blood. "They are the best /
blood purifier," writes C T Budahn <
of Tracy,Calif, "I have ever found." !

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
(Positive cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires a '
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is I
taken internally, acting directly upon the bk>od
tnd mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. '
The proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
sny case that it fails to cure. Seed for list of testimonials.

Buried In Secret.
Tiro ancient kines vrere burled Id se
cret. Attlla, king of the Huns, after
his siege of Rome, (lied in Hungary
A. D. 453. His soldiers, desirous of
giving their great leader a right royal
burial, inclosed his t*>dy first in a
casket of gold, this in one of silver and
this in one of lead, and transported it
into a desert There slaves were selected.
and under the direction of men
who were sworn to secrecy they dug
the grave of the dead monarch. When
this was accomplished no traces of the
?pot were left. The slaves were all
craeuy siaio.
Alarlc, king of the Goths, the celebrated
conqueror of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza. south Italy.
His men turned the course of a river,
interred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure, in its bed and
restored the stream to its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the resting
place of either of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, of
wbom'it is written. "No man knoweth
of'hic sepulcher unto this day."
Died From Bad Writing.
German handwriting attains a degree
of illegibility nnknown In Latin
script. A tragic Instance of this fact
was afforded by the death of Joluinn
Bacher. an Austrian musician of the
last century. Bacher spent most of
his leisure for fifteen years in compiling
u history of the Viennese opera.
When the manuscript was completed
he submitted it to the Imperial academy.
which had promised to publish it.
In three months It was returned with
a statement that no member of the
academy could decipher it. Bacher
then sought to have II: copied, but no
copyist capable of deciphering it was
to be found. Asa last resource he determined
to dictate his work to nn
amanuensis only to discover that he
greater part of the manuscript was
Illegible even to himself. The thought
of his wasted years of labor unhinged
his brain, and in a fit of depression he
committed suicide.
Going Back a Lung Way.
lick up any peerage book and you
will find it bristling with ancestral
names whos\? presence Is much more
difficult to explain than that of the fly
in the amber. And as you descend in
the social scale the fictions multiply?
from :he pedigrees of the landed gentry
to the family trees proudly cherished in
hundreds of middle class homes. But
these lineages, aspiring as they are.
are of mushroom growth compared
with many that are claimed with seeming
honesty. At Mostya hall you may
see a vellum roll, seven yards long,
headed by no less famous an anceslor
than "Adam, son of God." Another
pedigree at the college of heralds
starts thus modestly with Adam and
the garden of Eden, and Wales has
many a family tree which traces descent
with unerring hand from the
same remote origin.
What Became of the Tr>)users.
Of J'.idge Parry's many stories of the
Manchester county court that about
the comedy of a man's Sunday trousers
Is one of the best. In the plaintiff's
box was a woman, in the defendant's
an elderly collier. The plaintiff stated
ber case: "I lent you moil's missis my
mon's Sunday trousers to pay 'is rent
with, an' 1 want 'em back." The defendant
at first replied. "There's nowt
In it a: all." Pressed for a more definite
reply, he scowled at the judge and
protested. "Why. the 'o!e street knows
ill about them trousers." But Judge
Parry was not the " 'ole street," and
he patiently encouraged the defendant
to talk until be got the explanation.
"Why, yon woman 'an my missis drank
them Sunday trousers."? Westminster
