Poor Clip Is Dead.

Not many persons in Henderson
were unacquainted with Clip, Col.
Henry Perry's little Italian greyhound.
He was one Of the best known men,
bers of the canine family about town.
Wherever his master was seen there
also was the faithful little dog, the pet
and favorite of all who knew him. He
was a conspicuous character in all
places and on all occasions, but the
scenes that knew him once will know
him no more forever. Poor Clip is dead,
and the sad part of it is he was not
permitted to die natural death of
honorable old age. He died like a
common culprit-by force and violence
as if he had been sheep-killing cur.
A mad dog bit him, inflicting terrible
injuries about his throat, body and legs,
and Clip was taken off and killed. He
was about ten years old and next to
their little son Leslie, lin whose affec-
tons it is doubtful if the devoted little
a2imal occupied any second place.,
Col. Perry and his wife could have felt
keener regret at the loss of nothing.
Clip was given decent burial and our
friend will see that his grave is kept
green.
1t will be an agreeable surprise to persons
subject to attacks of bilious collie to learn
that prompt relief may be had by taking
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa
Remedy. In many instances the attack
may be prevented by taking this remedy as
soon as the first symptoms Of the diaease
appear. % ard SO cent bottles for sale by

The Late Hal Fetter.

In our last issue we mentioned the
death of Mr.. Hal Fetter at his home in
Statesvile. AS he was formerly a
citizen of this town where he had many
friends and acquaintance, the follow
ing additional facts in regard to his de-
mise will be read with melancholy in
terest. The Statesville Mascot says:
In outward appearances Mr.. Fetter
looked a stout, healthy, robust man in
all respects but the world little knew
that there harbored in his manly form a
latent disease which was sapping the
vitals of his life and would cause his
death. Sunday morning surgical OPP
Grafton was performed with the hope of
obtaining relief Hal Fetter was
born and raised at Chapel Hill. His
father was professor of Greek in that
Institution for Il number of years. Hal
received his education there and entered
the Confederate army just after he had
completed it. He made brave soldier,
was taken prisoner and lay at Point
Lookout for several months. After the
close of the war he Travelled for a tobacco
business and was located at Henderson,
n. c. From there he went to Hickory
where he remained a short while and
from that place came to Statesvllle
about twelve years ago. Since that time
he has been engaged as auctioneer at
the tobacco warehouses of this town. He
was 80 years old. Hal Fetter had the
good will and esteem of all persons who
made his acquaintance. He was man
of many good parts and noble Instincts.
He had no enemy except himself.

THURMAN,s FUNERAL.
The Services Conducted by n Minis
ter 50 Years Old.


Columbus, o., Dec. 14.-Brief and sim
pie burial services over Allen @. Thur
man were held at the family residence
at Washington avenue and Rich
street this morning. There were many
more present than could be admitted to
the house, Notwithstanding the private
character Of the funeral. A profusion
Of flowers covered the space about the
coffin, which was placed in an archwAy
leading from the residence the deceased
had occupied TO that occupied by his son,
Allen w. Thurman.
Kinley, accompanied by state officials; ex-
Gov Campbell and Hon. l.. II. Neale OF
Chillicothe were also present. The SER
vices at the house were conducted by Rev.
j. l.. Grover, himself 80 years old and
close friend of the deceased. Mr.. Grover
officiated at the funeral of Mrs. Thur
man three years ago and the service
deeply impressed Judge Thurman, who
at the time requested Rev. Grover 10 re-
peat II at his funeral. The services con-
sisted OF the reading of the S0th Psalm,
the Lords praver, reading OF special
funeral rite, reading from the 18th chap
ter of the First Corinthians Now Is
Christ risen and became the first fruits
Of them that slept" followed by a bene-
diction.
After all those present had Withdrawn
and left the family alone with the dead,
Mr. Grover offered prayer, and, having
withdrawn, the residence was thrown open
and those who had not been able to
gain admission were permitted to pass
through the halls and view the remains.
Mr. Grover announced that the services
would be concluded privately at the grave
by Rev Il. l.. Rexford OF the Universalist
church. The remains were Inferred In
Greenlawn cemetery by the side of his
wife.
The pail bearers were Grandsons A;
L. Thurman, Allen G. thurman and
Gywnne l.. Jordan of Urbana; Nephews
McHldin Dun of Bellfontaine and John q.
Dun of Columbus, and the faithful colored
body servant, Joseph Matthews. The cas-
ket was plain but elegant, covered with
black broadcloth, with oxidized extension
bars running the entire length of the cas-
ket. The following inscription appeared
on q plain silver plate on the casket:
Allen Cranberry Thurman,
Born Nov. 13, 1873.
Died Dec. -, 1895.
In the casket the remains Of Judge
Thurman appeared as natural as life. His
last illness was free from any severe raw
aRs of disease and the sturdy, rugged
impression of his face has not disap-
peared, but is quite as natural as ever.
