J. D. ALLEN,
Drowned in a Tub of Water.
Secretary.

Mr. and Mrs Aaron McCombs, II
miles northwest of Windsor, now
mourn the loss of their babe. On
Wednesday at about 2 p. m., the lit
tie fellow went out doors to play.
His mother, not hearing his merry
prattle, concluded to see where he
had gone. Her feelings cannot be
imagined, much less described, when
upon going to the yard she beheld
the lifeless form of her boy lying in
tub Of water. He was lying face
downward. Mrs McCombs snatch
ed him from the tub, and summoned
medical assistance. DR.. J. F. Feas-
ter arrived at the house about 2:46,
but life was entirely extinct, the
child not having breathed since be-
ing taken from the tub. He was q
healthy child, aged 16 months, very
stout, and the mystery is that he
met his death in this peculiar man,
ner, as the tub only contained eight
inches of water. The funeral was
preached by Rev. J. B. Daniels, and
the remains inferred in Laurel Oak
cemetery Thursday evening.-Wind.

''There are several classes of men
who cannot build a city. First, the

dollar until it squawks. Second, the
wilmer who will do nothing for
themselves and complain because
some other fellow, by his energy,
is trying to push along the city
in all that tends to its material ad-
vancement. Third, the men who have
accumulated fortunes through ener-
gy of others, and who refuse to give
up dollar for manufacturing es-
tablishment or other enterprise that
will bring wealth to the city. The
classes named and others stand as
adamantine wall against the pros
perity of many cities and towns.
They are everywhere to be found.
In some places they are the ruling

OF them to stab every movement
