Our advertisements for the past
month have been directed, generally,
to the housewife, but we have things
in our store that will be of interest to
the wife as we'll as the husband. No
doubt you heard about the runaway
a few weeks ago. A man was riding
down Fort street, his horse suddenly
got frightened at some object, became
unmanageable and started to run away.
The man tried every effort to check the
horse, but without avail. A man hap
pened to be coming up the street on
his bicycle and before he could get out
of the way, the horse, vehicle and all
were upon him. The bicyclist was
seriously hurt and was confined to his
bed for some time. Now who do you
think is to blame for that accident? We
blame the driver. as he should have
had one of

THE Platinum process is decidedly
the most perfect process of photo

affected by any sulphurous fumes or

easily attacked by them.

Verdict for 41999 Death of A. D.
Shuford- Newton PostofRce Ad-
vanced to the Third Glass.
Newton Enterprise, Dec. 1st.
The postofice department has
announced that the Newton
office has been advanced from
the fourth class. The order
will take effect the first of jan
uary. The salary will be $1,000.
The advar tage of the change
is not only in the increase of
pay to the postmaster, but in
the fact that he will be entitled
to a salaried clerk and Office
rent.
Our town was shocked Sun
day afternoon by the death of
Mr.. Avery D. Shuford, treas
urer Of the county. The sum
mons came about $3.50 o'clock.
He was sitting in front of the
fire reading his bible. His
daughter, Miss Clara and sew
eral young friends had come
from choir practice at the
Reformed church. He looked
up and asked, where is Kate"
Then Mrs. Shuford heard him
cough lightly, and saw his head
fall back in the chair; DR..
Campbell happened to be in
Abernethy's drug store and
reached the room within two
minutes. The heart was then
giving it's last faint beat. It
was a sudden but a peaceful,
painless death.
The most important case that
has yet been tried at this term
of court was that of Mrs. Bal :
lew against the Southern Rail
road. It was BEGIN last Fri :
day, and the jury Saturday
afternoon brought in a verdict
for ST ,999 damage. Mrs. Bal :
lew about three years ago was
a passenger on the east bound
train, coming into Newton a
short time after dark. AtCon
over the conductor, as usual,
announced to the passengers
that Newton would be the next
stop. The train stopped at the
watertank and Mrs. Ballew
thinking it was the station,
jumped up. AS she reached
the steps the engine was backed
suddenly and she was thrown
off and had her thigh broken OF
the joint dislocated.

Produce Wagons Big Load of Apples
Death Of Mr.. W. r. Lee.
Lenoir Topic, Nov. 10Th.
Mr.. w. r: Lee, whose illness
was mentioned in last weeks
paper. died at his home near
Poweltown yesterday morning.
The funeral took place to day
at Lower Creek church and the
remains we're buried there. We
have known Mr.. Lee from his
boyhood up, and he was one of
our best citizens. He had
pneumonia and had only been
sick a week. He leaves a wife
and five children-three boys
and two girls. We sympathize
with these and his aged mother,
who lives with them.
The largest load of apples
ever brought to Lenoir in
wagon came in yesterday even
ing. Mr.. Tom Hagaman, of
Watauga, brought them. He
brought over 100 bushels of
them from Ashe county. On
reaching Watauga, he found he
didn't have quite a load: so he
put on % bushels more, and
drove on here with 13O bushels
on his wagon. Cloyd & john
son bought them, and Floyd
Cash began unloading but had
to adjourn over till this morn
ing. They were fine apples and
in as good condition as ordinary
loads brought in wagons.
In our Burke notes, copied
from the Morganton News, last
week, one item stated that six
teen mountain wagons loaded
with produce were counted this
morning." A lady on the cor
ner opposite the Topic office
thought it a little surprising
that our neighbors at Morgan
ton should think it worthy of
comment to see "sixteen wag-
ons loaded with produce" on
the streets at once. Next day
she undertook to count the
country wagons coming into
LenOir on the streets that pass
her door. Thirty six came in
before breakfast; and at 9
o'clock p. m. the number had
reached ITO. 1t is generally
believed that many more wag-
ons come into Lenoir by some
of the other streets than on this
one. So, if our Morganton
friends want to see wagons in
town, they had better come over
and spend a few days in
LenOir.
