KILLED HIS SWEETHEART.
Moses Glance Deliberately Shoots Miss Ida

Moses Glance Deliberately Shoots Miss Ida
Mathes OF Hancock County.
County Trustee j. w. Davis, Of
Hancock, was in the city last Thurs
day, says the Morristown Gazette,
and gave us this account of the last
killing reported from that county.
About one year ago Moses Glance
fell in love with country girl by
the name Of Ida Mathes, who lives
in the mountainous district of Han
cock county. They went together
for some time, but finally fell out
and did not speak to each other for
over a year until Sunday, the 10th
instant, when there was frolic and
dance at the Mathes girls house,
and Glance, who lives a half mile
away, went over, and they seeming
ly made up again. After the dance
Glance went home, but came back
again on Monday morning and
brought his pistol along with him.
He was cleaning it up and oiling it,
and while working with it told Miss
Ida that he was going to kill her as
soon as he got it fixed. She think
ing he was only joking, paid no at
tention to it until he got it fixed,
when he deliberately put it against
her left side and pulled the trigger.
She fingered until January 16,
when she died. Glance was put
under arrest, and claimed that it
was accidental. An inquest was
held over the girls body and the
jury pronounced the crime man.

A DOUBLE LIFE.
A Strange Story of the Life of Hender-

A Strange Story of the Life of Hender-
son County Woman.
jackson Whig.I
Astrange story comes from Juno,
in Henderson county. Some twen-
ty-fve years ago young man APP
peared in that vicinity and engaged
to work as a farm hand. Since that
time he had lived there working as
an ordinary laborer. The name Civ
en- was Henry Armstrong, and lit
tie or nothing is said of his history
prior to his life in Henderson coun-
ty, with the exception that he came
from East Tennessee where he left
some children. The man was Of
good character and won the conf
dence of all who knew him. Some
days ago Armstrong took sick with
la grippe at the home of DR.. A. L.
Waller, for whom he worked. The
disease took fast hold upon him
from the start, and in day or two
death came to draw aside the veil
that so long fell about this strange
character, and when the last atten-
ton was being given to the re-
mains the astounding fact was re-
vealed that Armstrong was a wom-
an, and for this long period had liv-
ed a double life. Mr.. Autry, of
Juno, telephoned the facts of this
case into the city. The deceased
was buried hear Juno and the grave
hides the secret of her life. No
papers or other evidence was found
to throw light upon it, and why she
sought to unsex herself and walk
in the rugged pathway of man, per-
haps, will remain a secret forever,
and no sequel to her life will ever
be written.

COAL IN WEST TENNESSEE.
NEAR BRADFORD IN DYER COUNTY
An Eighteen Foot Vein Extending Several
Miles Discovered.

Trenton Democratl
Mr.. L. G. Baker, of the Bradford
neighborhood, was in the city Mon
day and brought to this Office a
specimen Of coal obtained from
the farm Of Mr.. John Blancett, l
mile north Of Bradford. The coal,
which has good appearance and
burns readily, was discovered some
years ago in digging a well. The
vein, which is thought to extend
severel miles, is Is feet thick. Mr..
Baker informs us that a speci-
men of the coal will be sent off and
undergo a scientific analysis, and
if it proves to be any good, COM
pany will be organized for the pur-
pose of mining it. If this venture
proves a success Gibson county
could probably use some Of the
State convicts without fear of being
interrupted by free miners.

Away Back in 1920 When West Tennessee
Was Sparsely Settled.

Away back in the '20s, says the
Bolivar Bulletin, a small Lighthouse
stood upon the spot where Savage
& Emerson's drug store is now To-
Gated. At that time it was the only
store in Bolivar, and contained such
articles as were needed by the cit
izens of this then sparsely populat-
ed country. Among the stock was
a barrel of whisky. The law pro-
vided then that whisky could be
sold by the quart, but must not be
consumed in the building where
purchased. A tall, rugged-looking
backwoodsman, in a hunting suit
entered the store one day and call

TERRORIzED BY A BEAR.

Sometime since black bear es-
capped from men travelling through
Montgomery county and has run
wild, prowling around the neigh
borhood Of a cave near Porter's
Bluff, near Clarksville, where it has
taken up its abode. The inhabi-
tants living in the vicinity Of the
bluff, especially negroes, are badly
frightened and can not be induced
to venture out after nightfall. The
bear has been seen by a number of
persons. E. T. Pierce, and S. R.
Daley went TO the bluff last Friday
night to watch for bruin, remaining
until after midnight without sue
ceeding in getting a shot. Bear
tracks were found, and as it was the
intention of the above gentlemen to
watch Saturday night, the animal
will probably be killed or captured.

THE PRESIDING ELDERS.
The Nine Ministers who Hold This
Office in the Conference.


From the Concord Missionary Age.l
The Presiding Elders of the Wes-
tern North Carolina Conference are a
faithful band of godly men. They
are all men of deep piety and conse-
Grafton to the work of the Methodist
ministry. Wegive our readers a short
pen-picture of each of these leaders of
our hosts as they strike us.
REV. j. r. BROOKS, D. d.,
may be said to be chief of the cabi-
net. He is a genuine North Carolin-
ian of the truest texture. He is man
of about flfty-two or three years, judg-
ing from his appearance. DR.. Brooks
is scholar of decided merit, and
a preacher of rare ability. He is a
close student, and rarely takes posi-
tion which he cannot sustain. He was
chairman of the delegation from the
North Carolina Conference to the last
General Conference, and was voted for
Bishop. He would make a good one.
We deem it a privilege to count DIR.
Brooks among our personal friends.
REV. j. P. CARRAwAY
is one of the leading spirits of the
Conference. He has a clear incisive
manner of stating a proposition which
makes him very dangerous adversary
