MADE HIS OWN COFFIN.
A Visit to Ex-Sheriff Fogle's Cabinet
Shop

A SENTINEL reporter, through the
kindness of Mr.. Augustus Fogle, was
shown over his cabinet shop and home
with their hundreds of curiosities and
superb pieces of cabinet work, each
with its quaint and interesting story.
Mr.. Fogle has long since left off
regular labor in cabinet work, and
only works for q, pastime, construct
ing various articles of furniture of the
most handsome style and superior
workmanship.
One of the most unique and master
Iy pieces of work is table about ,!
by feet which contains 112 different
kinds OF native wood, grown in this
immediate section. Each piece Of
wood has its peculiar story which is
connected intimately with the life of
MIR. FOgle or some of his intimate
friends.
IIe also has another table which
contains y pieces Of the same nature.
These are two Of the most handsome
ly finished and uniquely designed
pieces Of furniture the reporter has
ever seen.
There is also handsome and mas
sive bedstead, built from timber made
from walnut tree which grew from d
walnut planted by Mr.. Fogle's mother
in 1911, near where the Richmond &
Danyiile depot now stands. Mr. Fo-
gle has also made for himself hand
some coffin from parts OF the same
tree.
The most interesting and valuable
of ali Mr.. Fog!e's curi0sities is pro pa
bly, his diary which he has kept faith
fully from his early boyhood days to
the present time. 1t reviews his
travels into almost every part of the
union. Up to the present he has
travelled in set trips by horse Il, 731
miles, most Of it having been done in
pioneer days far in the Western
frontier. He has also Travelled 12,2lf
by rail in recent years.
MIR. Fogie's most recent entries in
diary reviews his trip to the World S
Fair. Thus the book portrays the
marvellous progress of the country
from the early days of this century to
the recent climax of the worlds civil

Naming the Baby,

The custom of using a family or
surname as first or Christian name
is Que OF the newer fashions in nam
ing the new baby, and one which is
to be greatly commended, writes
Mrs. Hamilton Mott in a vaIuabl
article in the March Ladies' Home
Journal The value of such use
should be especially considered by
parents in their selection of a name
for the baby. Immediate family
recognition is one of the first results
Of such a name. When the family
names are famous their selection is
even more appropriate, as they
carry on to further generations the
names which have made the world
greater. When they are reminders
simply of the good, if not of the great
men of an older day, they ennoble
their possessor with past honor and
present resolve. Almost any boy
will have stronger incentive for
living a manly and noble lie if he
feels that the name which he wears
was borne by one whom all men
loved to honor. And any girl will
surely be more womanly and con-
scientious if she feels that her name
is a synonym for honor and nobility.

THE LOST MAN.
It App ars That His Homo is at MUIR
phy aud Not Salem.

The unfortunate man who lost his
memory in Atlanta, has decided that
his name is David Drown, and that
his home is at Murphy, N. G. He
left Atlanta Thursday, accompanied
by an officer, for Murphy, where he
claims to have a stock of medicines,
four horses and a wagon.
The tlanta Constitution, in speaking
of the man and his condition, says
There now seems to be no doubt Of
the stranger being David Drown,
formerly of Winston. n. G. The
name is pronounced ''DrOne." Mr.
ID. l.. Reynolds, of Asheville, says
that the picture published in Sunday
is Constitution resem bieS Drown in
every feature and he is morally GER
tain that it is his.
A curious coincidence has happened
in the course OF the efforts TO eStab
lish the strange mans indentity. He
had not been at the hospital week
when it was said that he was man
named Canada, who traded horses
and sold medicine. Several communi-
cations were received at the Grady
hospital and at The Constitution Of
fee suggesting that the man must be
Canada. The patient always denied
this, however.
Now it transpires that he is not
Canada, but is former business part
ner of Canadas, and was with him at
Asheviile, n. c., and other places in
North Carolina. Mr.. Reynolds, Of
Asheyille, says that Drown and Can
ada were at that place toge ther.

Committed Suicide.

On Sunday, 11th inst, Mr.. Elbert
Vannoy, an employee of Mr.. A. ID.
Cowles, of Gap Creek, Ashe county,
committed suicide by taking bottle of
laudanum. A few days before he went
to Statesyille to collect some bills for
Mr.. Cowles, and on his return he
drank heavily. Between Statesville
and Gap Greek he lost hundred dol
lsr check and SIS or $40 beside. 1t
seems that he kept up mis- drinking
Sunday morning, went down to the
store and took a large quantity of
laudanum. He went to the house and
told Mrs. Cowles he was going to bid
farewell to this world that day, and
short while after lay down and fell
into a deep sleep Medical aid was
summoned as quickly as possible, but
could accomplish nothing as the un-
fortunate man died that evening. He
was about 25 years old.

Another Roanoke Conpi-.

Another couple from Roanoke, Va,
came here last week to get married.
and they succeeded. The ceremony
was performed at the residence of the
officiating minister, Rev. l.. L. AL
bright. The names of the contracting
parties are James II. Hinton and Miss
Lizzie S. Stokes. 1t was not runa-
way couple, as the mans age was
given at 81 and the woman's at 80.
Their only object was to be little
romantic and surprise their friends.
Mr.. Hinton says that he is practic-
ing attorney in Roanoke. In coming
here they rode in separate cars and
walked safe distance apart while en-
route to Mr.. Albright's residence.
They did this to ward off all suspicion
regarding their views and intentions.
