SANK TO RISE NO MORE.
Young Cyrus Archer Find, a wa "
Grave.

The following account OF the drown
ing OF Cyrus Archer in the Watauga
River last week is taken from the
Bristol News
Yesterday the News's Blountville
correspondent mentioned the drown
ing OF a young man and his team i'm
the Watauga river Monday. A
News reporter learned the full part !.
ulars OF the sad affair yesterday even
ing.
The unfortunate young man WAS
Cyrus j. Archer, who lived NJ (.
White Store Tenn.
Young Archer and his father John
Archer, we're driving wagon Monday
afternoon, and attempted to cross the
river at or near Halls Ford. The
waters were considerably swollen, and
when it was too late for them to turn
back the occupants of the wagon dis
covered that the current was too strong
for fording, and before they could es-
cape the rushing waters had submer~
ged the wagon and born } it away and
left them struggling with the tide.
Young Archer never reached the
shore. After brief struggle for life
his strength gave way and he sank to
rise no more.
The father managed to reach the
bank after hard battle. He made q
narrow escape. Both the horses we're
drowned.
Young Archer's body was soon re-
covered, and was laid away in the New
Bethel cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
Cyrus Archer was twenty-one years
Of age. He was an exemplary, Chris
tian young man, and popular with all
who knew him. His untimely end has
caused deep sorrow in the vicinity
where he lived.
This is the second fatality which
has occurred in this family within a
year. Samuel Archer, brother of
Cyrus, was kicked by horse last fall,
and died from his injuries.

An old man by the name of Mcintyre
threw q stone at croud of though kids,
that were following him, breaking the
large plate glass in front of the Watauga
Bank.
This mau is reported to be of danger
Gus character and it is bestto let him
alone least he should hurt some innocent
person. The business of the town could
not suffer very much if he were to re-
move some of the kids who aught to be
in school, but instead of that their par
ents allow them to run on the streets
and become public nuisance.
