OBITUARY.

Mrs. Ella III. Troy, wife of Rev. Jno.
G. Troy, of the Western North Carolina
Conference, died at her home in Jones
boro, n. c., on Monday, October 10th,
1899. She had been i'll about two weeks
and during that time had suffered in
tense pain. The disease pressed her so
hard that surgical operation was re-
sorted to, but she did not rally, and
soon passed into the spirit land.
She leaves a husband and one daugh-
ter, little Louise.
One who knew her best said that in
patience, gentleness and sweetness of
disposition, she surpassed any he knew,
and this is the verdict of all who knew
her. She had lived in Jonesboro only
about two years, but so sunny, and low
ing and attractive a nature had she, that
in that time she had ingratiated herself
so deeply into the life and love of the
people here that during the funeral
services there was scarcely dry eye
in the house She was a model for
others to go by--pure, unseltish and true
hearted-a model wife, mother and
friend. We miss her sorely. We long
for her kindly smile and words of cheer.
During the past five years her nus
band has been an invalid, and to her
qualities as Il good and true wife, she
added those of an ever watchful and I'M
firing nurse. Her husband says during
the fourteen years of their married life,
not a single word of complaint or MUIR
muir escaped her lips. She was his
chief influence for good.
just before she was placed on the
operating table, she said to her weepinp
daughter, Oh, Louise, don't cry: they
won't hurt me-" Her unselfshness was
the most prominent trait of her charac.
ter. She was loved by all who knew
her. Those who knew her best loved
her most.
Sleep on, tired one, and take thy rest
In some brighter and happier day we
shall meet again.
There is no death. An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
And when he sees Il smile so bright.
Or heart too pure for faint and vice
He bears it TO that World of Light,
To dwell in Paradise"

Fire at Logan.

Last Thursday Sept. q, at about
9:15 D. m. the ominous cIeng of the
slarm bell told our citizsn that fire
was in progress and from the dense
smoke coming from the store build
ing occupied by J. n. Craven it was
at once apparent that a serious con-
fsgration which might sweep away q
large portion of the town was i'm
pending. The flames had gained such
Roadway that nothing could be saved
from the Craven store which was en-
tirely consumed with all It's contents.
The building adjoining. q frame
structure owned and occupied by
H s. Brown, harness maker, caught
fire and in short time was burned
to the ground. A considerable por-
ton of the stock was saved. at this
point began the bait le for life. The
roof of the stone building, Browns
drug store, ignited and here heroic
work was done by the young men of
town among whom might be men
toned, Leigh Lawrence, Ed Hood
and George Bowman. At one time
it was thought the building was
doomed but but the timely arrival of
water and good management saved
the building. The heat of the roof
was so great that the young men
were only able to hold their positions
by drenchIng each other with water.
The Craven stock of goods had
been bargalned to McGsugh & Birch
but the sale had not been consumma-
ted. The loss will fell on ] N Crs-
ven. The policy on the store expired
in July. Insurance not enough to
cover loss. T NJ Sullivan lost his law
library and valuable real estate req
ords, the Office furniture and other
vsluables; loss $500. insurance 5000.
The justice docket was burned in the
records and all legal blanks of the
township. DR. Stalcup lost his dental
chair and other material Browns
insurance was $500 on building and
$1,000 on stock.
The origin of the fire is unknown
though there was an explosion in the
Craven building before the flames
broke out. Had wind been blowing
Logan would have been in ashes.
