Walker, 308 North Bre- ! k vard street, after an illness that last- : ed for several months. The deceased was in her eighty-first year, having " been born in Steele Creek, June 3, 1832. She was a daughter of Reese and Esther McDowell Price and was wedded to Mr. John F. Harry, Oc- : tober 15, 1857. Surviving are seven! children, namely Messrs. R. P. Har' ry, of Union, S. C.; D. R. Harry, of'( Greensboro; S. W. Harry and A. W. | Harry, of Salisbury; J. M. Harry and I Mrs. C. E. Walker, of Charlotte and ' Mrs. E. A. Harry of Pompano, Fla. They were all at the bedside when the end came with the exception of Mr. E. A. Harry who could not arrive in the city in time. The funeral will take place at the ' residence of Doctor and Mr. Walker i .. . tnis aiternoon at 5 o'clock, the service being in charge of Rev. Dr. A. A.

New Hope, July 21, 1913.?Well dear friends, we have had two days of the hottest weather the past week that we ever remember having felt in our lives. Guess the most of you all experienced the same pressure of old Sol. There has been ruin around in sight nearly every afternoon, but we do not get any around here and we are certainly needing a general soaking rain to get the land wet, good and deep, for corn is suffering for want of rain, and too, gardens are drying up; if it were not for some Irish potatoes, chickens, and mutton, corn and plenty of ice cold butter milk every day we do not know how we could have pulled through. We farmers are finishing up our crops, laying by, with the exception of some young corn and cotton, which ..^11 U a. _ 1. . * i vtjii nave io ue worKea some more. Watermelons and cantelopes are plentiful around here now. Mr. C. C. Fowler has carried off several,, loads of fine ones, tire' pajt week, and also Mr. B. W. Whitlock; is haul-1 ing them off almost every day by the the four-horse loads; they all report getting good prices for them. We were misinformed last week about the meeting that was to begin at New Hope, it starts tonight (Monday) and will be two- services, one at 11 o'clock A. M., and in the evening at 8 o'clock. Rev. Shell cannot help Mr. Ariail owing to the condition of his son who was hurt some time ago very badly, but Mr. Ariail is a fine preacher and can do all the good if the people want to be done good. We attended children's day exercises last night (Sunday) at the Gault school hoilHP- anil wo novnr ??' ' children better trained anywhere; there was not a hitch of any kind by the very smallest one. The singing was good, with Miss Myrtle Gault as organist. A few of the young folks of this section are going to spend a couple of weeks camping at West Springs about the 1st of August, we hope you all will have a merry trme. Hey Denver, we fully agree with you in regard to the public roads trying to go to the railroads as much as possible. There is a remedy for such a state of affairs and why not have them applied; a life is sweeter than a few yards of earth. Why, we will say that you cannot find 10 miles of road in Union county together, that could be called a first class road. Why don't our supervis kid ha a roaa ngnt when they go to it before they leave it. We know a road, one side was worked 4 months ago, and the other siie has not been worked yet. We hoard a man say, 'Well, we have got a gasoline engine and 3 huge scrapes and we can work the county all over in u month with it and the ouulj' chain gang." Well theV haven't worked one township yet. Where is the trouble?? Talk good roads, lriends and advocate the road drag. Put competent fnen as overseers, men of business. Let's all make a pull for good roads so we can haul our crops to market I with some pleasure. Smike. I Rid Your Children of Worms.

At first Senator Tillman sought t return the gifts, but virtually nor had the name of the donor of it, a1 though many contained notes defyin the senator to decry the fowls or th cooking. As a result the committe waste basket is continually fille with chieken bones and committe clerks and senate attendants, irr pressed to aid in keeping up with th incoming supply, are nearing a stat of rebellion. THIRTY-FIVE CONVICTS BURNED IN IRON CAG! Trapped Like So Many Rats Negroe Are Roasted Alive. Jackson, Miss., July 22.?Trappe by flames in the second story of a antiquated convict cage the firs floor of which was used to store haj grain and molasses, thirty-five nc gro prisoners were burned to deat at the Oakley convict farm, 20 mile from here last night. With the flames rapidly eatin away on the only stairway leading t the second floor the entrapped pris oners frantically tore at the heav; bars that covered the windows, bu to no avail. Their screams brough tbe two night guards to the scene be fore they had seen the flames am soon other prison attaches hurried t the"c*V". Their efforts were futil< howov4?^??a the flames drove ther back each time they attempted to lib Orate the men. At last they stoo? aghast when slowly the franti screams of the burning convicts diet away as 6h6 after another succumbe to the flames. Finally all was quie and the smell of burning human flesl permeated the air as the flames burn ed the last of the building.
