A Young Lady Outraged and
Murdered.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May ga
story of a brutal outrage, mur-
der, and swift vengeance on the
murderer, comes from Sandy
Hook, a manufacturing town,
near Ashland, in eastern Ken
lucky. Near Sandy Hook,
Maud Fleener died recently
from being thrown by her horse
and outraged by George and
John Wilcox, brothers, who had
been her suitors. She had
promised to marry Amos Queen,
who had met her while she was
teaching school near Sandy
Hook, and about three weeks
ago started to visit a friend near
where she had taught. The
Wilcox boys were passing the
road she travelled, and saw her
coming and hid in the bushes,
and scared her horse. Her horse
ran away; she was thrown and
had both legs broken. The Will
cox boys picked her up uncon-
scious, revived her, drew straws
as to which she should be COM
PEELED to marry, bore her to a
cabin, and demanded that she
agree to marry John, to whose
lot she fell. She refused and
tainted. They kept her prison.
er in the cabin, and when found
her by brother and Alliance, she
told about ii and died. Soon af-
ter an examination showed that
she had been chained to the
cabin wall, and had also had
been outraged. The Wilcox's
were captured and confessed.
whereupon they were shot to
leath by her brother and lover.
They explained, in confession.
that they chained the girl be-
cause she had attempted 10 es-
leape. Miss Fleener was a
daughter of a prominent citizen
Iof Richmond, Va, who moved
to Sandy Hook some years ago
and died there. She was only
/ twenty-one years old, a church
member and a Sunday school
teacher.

win Durham Act?

Governor Holt has issued a
letter to the county Commits
sioners and Justices Of the Peace
in the various counties, calling
their attention to the resolution
passed by the recent Industrial
Convention held in Raleigh.
He desires each county TO be
fully represented at the South
ern Interstate Exposition, to
be held in Raleigh during Octo-
ber and November. He goes on
to say that "the Exhibit sent to
the Exposition in this city will
be preserved and used at Chica-
90 in 1898 and in this way the
counties making exhibits get the
advantage ofshowingthe attrac-
tions they have 70 offer Capital
lists, Manufacturers and Home
Seekers at the two great Expo
sitions. / will be glad to see
the Justices of the Peace, in
each county of the State, make
such appropriations as will in
sure a complete exhibit of the
woods, minerals, agricultural
products, fruits, vegetables and
manufactured articles of all
kinds, and such other things as
will show TO the world what a
grand State we live in. The
Southern Inter-States EXPOSE
tion will be visited by many
thousand people, and It will GER
tainly should be a pride and a
pleasure for every North Caro-
linian TO see the great resources
of his State properly shown TO
the visitors.
We hope Durham county will
act promptly and do her duty in
this matter. It will be a fine
opportunity to attract the at
tention of those who visit our
State from a distance.

The Thing That Tells.

The age is becoming more and
more a practical age. Men
must bend their energies to
make realities if they would be
called successful. The whole
.secret lies in the word, WORK.
Theories as theories are worth
less. Talk as talk is breath
gone. Genius unless made prac-
tical use of is no better than a
milestone. Mind permitted to
ramble in the enhancing field
of dreamland can benefit no
one. Life frittered away in re-
pinings at "what might have
besnp is wasted.
Success in any branch may
only be obtained by hard and
ll-directed labor. Fortunes
do not grow on trees, fame does
not fall upon man as the simple
consequence Of his living, honor
does not attach itself unless
gained.
1t is work that tells. The
man who goes through life idly
gazing at the stars and reveling
in the delights Of pleasure, re-
gardless Of the passing hours,
cannot expect but to find that
he has suddenly grown old
without accomplishing any
thing. Every moment is of
vital Importance to the young
man especially. Every hour
that he wates due his business
is worth two in the future.
Every extra hour that he gives
his business sends him that far
ahead of his competitors. TIE
man who dreams will never
succeed; the man who works is
sure of success.

of |. O.. @. II. on the 14th day of
May, A. d. 1891, the following
resolutions were adopted:
"WHEREAs, The Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, realizing
the necessity of establishing an
Orphans Home where the chill
dren of our deceased INDECENT
brethren may be cared for, and
believing that the good people
of the State will assistus in this
nobleundertaking therefore be it
"REsoLvED, That j. +. Bfu-
ton, @. G. Benbow, Jonathon
White and w. G. Douglas, in
conjunction with the present
Board of Trustees, be constitu-
ted a Special Committee for
selecting a site for said Orphan
Home.
"REsoLvED, That said Com
mittee is hereby invested with
full power to act in theprmises,
and whatever may be the deci-
sion of a majority of the COM
mittee in the matter of location
shall be final, and not subject to
any appeal.
tREsoLvED, That this Com
mittee, with as little delay as
practicable. proceed to carry
out the design contemplated by
these resolutions, and in no
event should their action be de-
layed longer than ninety days
after the adjournment of this
Grand Communication of the
Grand Lodge"
In accordance with the re-
Iquirement of the foregoing re-
solutions, we, the Special Com
mittee, appointed for the pur-
lpose expressed therein of locat-
ling the Orphan Horle at a suit
able place in the State, will meet
in Raleigh on Wednesday, July
Is, 1891. -
| We believe that the place
which is successful in becoming
the site of the proposed Orphan
Home will find it a valuable ac-
lquisition, and we respectfully
invite bids for the same to be
promptly submitted, accom-
lpanied with such donations in
money land, or other valuable
Considerations, as might prop
lerly have weight in bringing
the minds of the Committee to a
wise determination of the i'm
lportant duty committed into
their hands by the aforesaid re-
Isolutions. .
All bids should be submitted
to A. HI. A. Williams, Chair.

eat;
He slowly worked himself to
death, and on the calm hill
side
They laid, beyond the monsters
reach, good God-Be Glori-
fled. ~
And the farm with its incum-
brances OF mortage, stumps,
and stones,
Ii fell to young Melchizedeck
Paul Adoniram Jones;
Melchizedeck was alikely youth,
a holy, godly man,
And he vowed to raise that mort
gage like a noble Puritan.
And he went forth every morn
ing to the rugged mountain
side,
And he dug, as dug before him,
poor old God-Be Glorified;
He raised pumkins and potatoes
down the monsters throat
TO pour;
He gulped them down, and
smacked his jaws, and calm
ly asked for more.
He worked until his back was
bent, ,untilhis hair was gray,
On the hillside through a snow
drift, they dug his grave
one dayl
His first-born son, Eliphalet,
had no time to weep and
brood,
For the monster by his doorstep
growled perpetual for his
food.
He fed him on his garden truck,
he stuffed his ribs with hay,
And hefed him eggs and butter,
but he would not go away,
And Eliphalet he staggered with
the burden, and then died
And slept with old Melchizedeck
and God-Be Glorified.
Then the farm il fell to Thomas,
and from Thomas fell TO
John;
Then from John to EIeazur, but
the mortgage still lived on:
Then il fell to Ralph and Peter,
Eli, AbsalOm. and Paul:
Down through all the genera
tions, but the mortgage kill
ed them all! .t@@*f
About a score Of years ago the
farm came down 10 Jim
And Jim called in the mortgage
and gave the farm to him.
There'sno human heart 50 empty
that il has no ray Of hope,
So Jim gave UP the ancient farm
and went TO making soap.
He grew a fifty-millionair. a
bloated, pampered nature.
He owned ten railroads, twenty
mines, and the whole state
legislature;
And thousands did his gruff
commands, and lived upon
his bounty;
And he came home. bought back
the farm, and the entire
county.
