AFFECTED BY TIE NOXIOUS GAS.
Rescued by Mrs Simpson and Two

Not Wed IN Rockingham With
License Bought in Stokes.

Correspondence of The Sentinell
DILLARD, Stokes county. Aug. 1S.-
There was very narrow escape from
death by aSphyXia near here last Mon
day. Allen Curry had made blast in
Rufus Simpsons well on Saturday and
and on Monday descended to clean
out the debris when be became affect
ed by the noxious gas and tainted.
Mr.. Simpsons son, Arthur, descended
as quickly as he could and found him
helpless, bnt managed to get the rope
around him and then caught the rope
above him and followed for his mother
ana brother to wind them out: which
they did successfully, and diStan ce of
siXtyfeet. They then set to work
with stemrlantf and had Curry able
to travel in few hours. 1t is con-
sidered heroic rescue.
a protracted meeting begins at Da-
Wis Chapel next Sunday. The Primi-
tive BaptiSuS have a baptizing near
that place at Davis ford the same
day. We are glad to note SO much in
terest in religious matters in this
and other sections of the county.
We await with much interest furth-
er political developments, and hope
that Congress may devise some means
to restore confidence and give the peo-
pie such just and wholesome legisla-
tion as will prot ect capital and give
labor and every industry its proper
reward to the end that equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
may prevail
Crops continue to look well and
thrifty.

floor TO dance.
1t must be said that the ladies Of Sill
yer City did themselves proud 10 getting
up and managing tho affair. They were
very attentive to the wants Of the gen
tlemen and saw that the little dears did
not want for partners with whom to
dance.
When supper was ready, which was a
little before midnight, the gallant ladies
escorted the beautiful and blushing
gentlemen to tho stage whore a bounti-
full repast was served.
The ladies' looked their prettiest and
were handsomely attired. 1t is impos-
sible to tell at this time how many mas
culine hearts were crushed, but il is safe
to say that the ball was not without re-
suits in this direction. He must have
been a hardened old bachelor who
could have resisted the darts which
Cupid sent flying in all directions. Tn,
bashful fellows who escaped this tins
will have to wait three long years before
they have another chance.
