In Chicago the other night two
persons were killed outright and a
third one injured, perhaps fatally, by
falling out OF windows. At the same
time half million people were
crOwding the streels, street cars and
railways and boats and not one of
them was so much as injured, These
facts suggest that people are not
always killed in expected places. One
Of the three persons who fell out of
windows on that one night was Daniel
Lord, Jr., wealthy New York man
who was the guest of prominent
Chicago family. His room was on the
fourth floor Of the palatlal residence.
He was a somnambulist. He arose
during the night and walked, accord
ing to all suggestions, directly from
his bed to the open window. A
screen was not able to hold him back.
He literally walked through and fell
to the ground below. He lived only
few hours and all that he could
utter was "the window" The second
person Of the Chicago trio was Minnie
Berg, also somnambulist. She fell
out Of the second story window and
struck hard pavement. The third
person went to sleep sitting in a wins
dow and fell out, resulting in imme-
date death. 1t must be accepted as
true that men and women in Chicago
are safer on the streets and in the
cars and boats than they are in their
own homes.

A sadder and more melancholy duty
we have not been called on to perform
than that of chronicling the death of
Mrs. Mary II. Plummer, beloved wife of
Mr.. James X. Plummer, which occurred
at her home, near Middleburg, at 2
o'clock Monday afternoon. Among her
many friends here where she was well
known and greatly esteemed, the news
of her death was received with pain and
surprise. 1t was totally unexpected since
it was not known that for some time she
had not enjoyed the best Ofhealth, or that
her condition was such as did not give
promise of u long life of further useful
ness and happiness. The death OF Mrs.
Plummer will carry deepest grief to the
heart of wide circle of relatives and
friends. She was good woman in every
| relation of life. Indeed, we never knew a
higher type of true and noble woman
hOOd-but it was in her home as the eX-
emplar of the ideal wife, affectionate and
indulgent mother, cordial friend and
hospitable hostess that her lovely char
acter and womanly virtues shone with
brightest splendor. Amiable in dispo-
stion, cheerful and sunny tempered, Mrs.
| Plummer endeared herself to all who
| came under the influence of her person.
| ality. Naturally fond of the society of
young people, ever mindful of the pleas
ure and happiness of her own children,
| hers was indeed congenial and happy
| family, and the friends of each always
| met with q warm welcome and generous
entertainment at her hands.
| The remains were taken to WarrentOn
and inferred in the cemetery there Tues
| day. Sadly impressive was the service
| when all that was mortal Of Mrs. Mary
| H. Plummer was laid to rest. The quiet
OF the shaded cemetery, the subdued
tones of the officiating minister, the
| hushed stiffness, all whispered rest. AS
the casket sank from sight sweet memo
ries of the beautiful life of the one just
passed away came thronging to those
who knew her best \ life of earnest
work, a loving, helpful wife and affec-
tiOnate mother, a true friend and a
bright, consecrated Christian. having
for many Years been a Jealous and con-
sistent member of the Episcopal church,
| she lightened the cares of those to whom
she was endeared and brought a never
failing sunshine to the home and all
about her This good woman will be

hiring friends willlong mourn her passing

The Local Paper.

Putting in a work for the local paper,
commonly called the country weekly,
the Wilmington Star says this:
There isn't a paper published in
North Carolina, however insignificant
it may be considered, which isn't
worth more to the community in which
it is published than the community pays
for it's support. Omitting the dailies,
there are weekly papers published in
North Carolina, some of which COM
pare favorably with weeklies published
in any State, which are worth many
times as much. The work that they
do is not appreciated, but if they ceased
to exist their value would soon be dis
covered and acknowledged.
Local papers are not always as good
as they might be, but in such case it
will generally be found to be the fault
of the people, who do not support them
as they should be supported. The
better paper is sustained the better
it can be made, and the better the
paper is the better it speaks for the
progressiveness, business thrift, and
intelligence of the community for which
it speaks. A man may subscribe for
and read half dozen papers, but the
one that ought to haye the first claim
on him is the home paper, not alto
gether on account of it. but as matter
of local interest. He should take pride
in having a creditable journalistic rep
resentative of the community in which
he lives. It is business too.

Not the First Bitter Speech He
Has Made.

A correspondent writing last week
from Ransom's Bridge to the Wa
renton Gazette says:
At the colored pic mic at the old
Dowtin place. few days since, Ex-
Congressman Cheatham made bitter
speech; he raved about negroes being
lynched and said God would have
to put a stop to the hellish work, or
send a war to do it. We interrupted
him and told him to preach down the
crimes they had committed and stop
such, or that lynching would continue
as long as the crimes did. His was
the bitterest speech against tile whites
I ever heard, and yet some social ed
respectable white men traded votes
for and with him. Cheatham said he
had been elected to Congress by a big
majority, but was cheated out of it.
Even if true. it was a good thing, for
he is not fit to represent any people.
Albert Aston also spoke, but was
conservative and more sensible.
