WOrtham-Parham,


Absence from our office and not
learning the particulars, accounts for
the failure to mention the marriage of

Both are we'll known and popular
young people and in their married
state have the congratulations and best
wishes Of a large number of friends.

gentleman, while his bride is a lady of
lovely character endowed with many
accomplishments of mind and heart.

A Narrow Escape.
Postmaster w. II. Cheatham per-
formed a brave and noble act yester-
day in saving the lives of two children
from being run over by train at Ok
ford. But for his wonderful presence of
mind and the heroic deed of rushing
acrosothe track only few feet in ad-
vance Of the rapidly moving engine
and showing the little girls backward,
just as they were endeavoring to cross
to the opposite side; unconscious of the
presence Of the train, swiftly bearing
down on them, a horrible accident
would have certainly been the result.
1t was indeed a narrow escape for all
of them, Mr.. Cheatham barely clearing
the rails when the train passed. For
a moment the hearts of those who wit
messed the affair sank within them and
to many the awful suspense was not
over until after the cars had passed.
The engineer was seen to throw up his
hands and look backward, certain that
all three had been crushed beneath the
cruels wheels.

well-known citizen, died at the home
Of his son-in-law Mr.. NJ. Dorsey, in
Henderson, at 4:45 O'Clock Sunday
morning. He had been in feeble health
for several months and his death was
not altogether unexpected to his friends.
1t was not until early Saturday morn
ing, however, that decided change for
worse took place and he sank rapidly
until the end came.
Col. Cooper was we'll known and
highly esteemed in the community. He
had been a large and prosperous farmer
in earlier life but for several years had
not been actively engaged in business.
Physically he was a magnificent type
of manhood, Of strong constitution
and robust nature and was greatly
fond of outdoor exercise. He delighted
to talk Of his exploits in the field with
gun and dog and the sport he found i'll
the saddle and chase was an ever pleas
ant memory with him.
Col. Cooper was in the 73rd year of
his age. Three children survive him,
two daughters and a son. These are
Mrs. NJ. Dorsey, Mrs. w. O. Shannon,
and Mr.. c. M. Cooper: all Of Hender-
son. He had large family connec-
ton in Granville andy ance counties, be.
sides relatives living in more remote
parts.
