SUDDEN DEATH.

DR.. 9. Ii. Pierce, a veterinary surgeon,
who has been in our city several months,
died suddenly on last Thursday night.
He had been drinking for the past two
weeks, and wandered from his board
ing house about u o'clock that night
and his mind was delirious. He was
met by several gentlemen, Mr.. Herder,
Mr., Trippe, Mr.. Kile and Mr. Charles
Sanges, and they saw that he was in
danger of being run over by the freight
train that passes at that hour. They
were with him but short while when
he sank to the ground and expired. DR..
Nolan was sent for but the vital spark
had fled. He was very intelligent
and quiet gentlemen, and we'll educat-
ed, He was graduate OF Toronto,
Canada, Veterinary College. Letters to
his address disclosed the fact that he
had divorced wife in Boston, Mass
Mrs. May Pierce, and that she was
running a boarding house. A letter
from his father, dated Boston, Febru-
uary %, 1900 gave his address as George
X. Pierce, 1872, 5th street, South Boston,
Mass. The indications are that he was
handicapped in life by the drink habit,
as he died from delirium tremens. He
had his sorrows. Every heart know
eth its own bitterness. Poor fellow.
Another unfortunate, rashly unfortu-
nate. gone to his grave"
Coroner, NJ r. Lyon held an inquest.
The following were the Jurors: H.
Meinert, J. NJ. Whitman. R. ]. Moore.
G. F. B. Davis, e. Mcdonald and w. w.
Watkins.
The verdict was that he came to his
death by natural causes, superinduced
by excessive drinking. They also
recommended that the county give the
deceased interment.
His body was prepared by L. Black &
Son, undertakers and embalmers.
DR. Pierce was buried in the city GEM
etery. Rev. G. 7. A. Pise conducted
the funeral service.

DIR. PATTON,

The Rev. j. S. Patton has returned
from Wilmington. n. c., where he
has preached for the last two Sab
baths During his absence there was
much fear expressed that Mr.. Patton
might be induced to accept the Will
mington pastorate. All Marietta unites
in the fervent wish that this may not
come to pass. Mr.. Patton holds the
affection and esteem of all our people,
irrespective of religious creed. His
own church would look upon his re-
moval as nothing short of an irretriev-
able calamity.

ROOSEVELT, THE GENTLE.
Not Merely an Impulsive Rough Rider. but
Tender Domestic. Religious Man.

There is a popular impression of Roose-
Welt that pictures him as a ferocfous
fighter. a daredevil rough rider in politics
as well as in war, irnpetuous in action
and impulsive In speech There is a
with the studied elaboration OF poli-
tician. There il fear that his open
candor and his rough and ready courage
will lead him TO say something that will
emharrass his political friends and hurt
the party His political opponents are
looking for breaks" In fact they are
banking heavily on campaign inadvert-
ances OF strenuous nature from Col.
Roosevelt.
There is also an impression that the
Rough Rider IL devoid of religious senti-
ment, that he is short on emotional ma
t,rre and Is not easily touched by APP
peals to the finer sentiments. OF course
the great mass of the American pee
pie will never love a man who has no
sentiment in his soul, for we are sem
timental people. We don't want our
heroes to be mere fighters.
But surely the popular impression OF
Roosevelt Is wrong. says the Chicago

there was to Washington and Zee. Listen
