FOUND DEAD.
sudden Death of the Night Waterman at
KnickerboclSer Conicry.


Joseph Stack, an aged and highly respected
resident of Jacksons patch, was found dead
at about nine o'clock last night, near the
pump house of the Knickcrbockcr colliery,
where he had been employed as nightwatch-
man for many years.
The discovery was made by Joseph Far
nell, of Yatesvilc who is employed as night
watchman at the fan house of the same col
Iiery. Farnell almost stumbled over the
corpse, but did not at first realize that death
| had laid its hand upon the aged watchman.
| He supposed that the victim had probably
been taken i'll aud while lying down to re-
cover had dropped into a slumber. When
his efforts to arouse the old man failed and
he realized the true situation he was hOrri-
/ fled and lost no time in summoning assist.
ancc The body was removed to JaCksOus.
| 1t is generally believed that the death was
due TO heart disease. Stack had not COM
planned of illness for several months. Last

FOR. He left his home III Jacksons at about
six o'clock last night in excellent spirits and,
apparently, good health.

meath the Lehigh Valley railroad, about fifty

Down Comes the Price
On Wool Bunting U. S. Flags,

Those who fooishly thought
they were securing a bargain in buying the
supposedly cheap cotton bunting flags are
now regreting their action, as they view the
scarcely visible colors in their flags as they
are suspended overhead. By investing few
dollars more they could now have a flag that
always looks clean and bright in colors. Our
wool flags have proved their superiority over
"cotton" goods. We have again reduced
our price on wool bunting flags down to a
close second in price of the "couon" flags.
We manufacture our wool flags, and can
guarantee them to be A No. l. Call and get
our new price list.

A GOOD THING FOR ANY CITY.

The new city directory of Raleigh,
which is being compiled by the Maloney
Directory Co, of Atlanta, Ga. has met
with the cooperation of the business men
and public generally in almost solid pha-
lanx. That Raleigh needs II concise pub

be properly classed as an important one
