health and late in the afternoon Of
the next day he yielded and uncon-
scious obedience to the summons OF
death at the Stortz House in this
place, surrounded by his physicians,
friends and nurses. The circum-
stances under which he lost his life
were such as to make the contemp-
lation of his death sad in the ex-
IRENE. He had driven in from his
home in the Pleasant Flats about
dusk on July 4th. 1898, and in
company with his young friend,
Charlie Beale, was returning, when
the horse which he was driving
took fright, made sudden and un
expected spring and threw him and
his friend out of the buggy, fractur-
ing the skull of Mr.. Hogg and
severely injuring Mr.. Bcale. Both
were rendered unconscious. After
some minutes Mr.. Beale regained
consciousness, but Mr.. Hogg never
rallied SO as to be able to speak or
move and continued to sink until
5 o'clock p. M. the next day, when
he expired, aged % years months
and days. He was the second son
of W. IL. Hogg, Esq, and a young
man of much promise. He had
already attended two sessions of
lectures at medical college in Louis
vile, K, and would have graduated
in another Xear. He was spending
his vacation with his parents when
this fatal accident befell him. He
was greatly admired and esteemed
by his friends and associates, gen
erous and kind hearted and possessed
of more than ordinary manly cour-
age. His sudden and unexpected
death immeasurably shocked our
community, and has greatly affected
his friends and acquaintances. He
was inferred at Lone Oak Cemetery
on Friday, July 9TH, 1898. at 11:30
o'clock a. m. After the usual fun
eral services were over the Elks of
this place of whose Order he had
been a member, concluded the
services at the grave following the
beautiful and impressive ceremonies
of their ritual.
o, Death, what art thoue Antitype of Ma
lures marvels.
The seed and dormant chrysalis bursting into
energy and glory.
Thou calm, safe anchorage for the shattered
hulls of men;
Thou spot of geld shade, after the hot
breathed desert;
Thou silent waiting hall, where Adam meet
eth with his children,
How full of dread, how full of hope, loometh
inevitable Death:
Ofdread, for all have sinned; of hope, for
One hath saved;
The dread is drowned in joy, the hope is
filled with Immortality;
Pass along pilgrim of life, go TO thy grave
unfcaring,
The terrors are but shadows now that haunt
the vale of Death.
RED MUD. = ChiIdrcn's day was
appropriately observed at Pisgah on
last Sunday.
Quite an exciting and ludicrous
scene took place near the residence
of Capt. John T. Sheppard. A yell
low dog had made himself obnox-
ious by his repeated visits and Mr..
Sheppard concluded he would rid
himself of the presence of tho pestic-
erous canine, so he layed violent
hands on the aforesaid dog and
dragging him to hive of bees pro-
ceeded to arouse the ire of the in
mates by shaking the hive, when
they Immediately swarmcd out on
Sheppard and the dog. Then they
seperated-that is the Captain and
the dog-the bees adhering to both.
Sheppard proceeded alta 2:4O gait to
the brush while the dog scampered
to the residence of a neighbor,
where he came in contact with a
government official, turning that
worthy complete somersault, after
which the cry of mad dog was raise d
and the family took refuge on
fences, trees or any thing which
presented itself. The Captain was
furnished with swollen head for
several days, and we have no further
account of the dog. GUILFoRD.
