From Cateechee.

Just at the dawn of day on last
Thursday morning the angel of deo In
knocked at tho door Of Thomas Multi
max, tho boss weaver at the Norris
Mill, and claimed for its victim Mrs.
Annie Dickson, the nl1eclionuto and
devoted vito Of Mr. Muliinax. While
Mrs. Mullinax had been n sufferer
for about sixteen ycura from indigcs
ton, which at the last turned 10 en-
tarrh OF the stomach, it was y great
shock to her many friends to hear Of
her death, but while there is ore
less on this earth this morning tho
writer is feducal there is ono more
in heaven. It has been the writer's
pleasure to converse with tho do
ceased on several occasions and tho
deceased while speaking of her i'll
hess expressed herself as being ready
! a. 2RtaRYjl ling to go at any minute that
it might ahAaaasSus will y, Iv.I to call call
her. She said sho awaglszssagSe., ss O"' =,
II question of time when she w0}ff4sss
have to 60 and after the summons
was served she would then be where
there was no pain, no SORROW, no grief,
but where God would wipo away all
tears and sho with that blessed host
would then march to the strains Of
music in tho sunshine Of bliss. We
nro told that sho died rejoicing
in tho same hope. rho deceased WAS
rs years old and had been consis-
tent member of the Methodist church
for thirty some oGd years. Her 70
mains were carr, q to Piedmont and
laid to rost at St. Paul M. Il church,
that being her request. She leaves
n lonely husband besides sisters and
brothers to mourn her taking of.
They have our sympathy.
q. R. Clogg, of Union county, N.
c., who is representing the j. Var
.Lindley Nursery Co., of Pommonn,
N. O., was on our streets ono day
last week.
No. Tho wheel room at tho Norris Mill
was th6~Ssceh apea,iTsfathcr Il peculiar
kind Of litigation on last Tuesday
morning. 1t was not the kind OF lit.
igation that nm appeal could he takcii
provided the verdict was not comport
able with all parties Interested, but
it was ust quiet little hymoncal
nuit in which AIR. Jnmcs $ieiglo was
the plaintiff and Miss Mattio viii,
liams was tho defendant. After both
parties had faced his honor, Magis.
trato J. L. Hyde, and made ont their
case, and the defendants attorney,
0ho brides fnther,) being absent,
Magistrate Hyde decided the plain
titf had made his case clear enough
to show that he had Il surplus Of cash
and this ho wished to invest in meat
and bread and with this in Wow he
needed some one to cook it, as Jim
can't cook, SO tho verdict was that
Miss Williams should bo Mr.. Seiylc',,
cook so long rs they both may live.
Of course tho defendant's attorney,
(Mr. Wiliams,) is not pleased with
the verdict, but after looking over ali
the legal technicalitics he has failed
to find any grounds that dcprives Il
man from having cook provided he
is ablo to support ono.
After all the parties above mention,
cd hna tried thoir luck and Mr.. Sci
gle had been SO successful, Mr.. Elias.
Hunter made application to his honor,
Magistrate Hyde, for him Il cook.
After hearing both sides, as no
objections were set up on defendants
side, it was decided that Mrs. Toll
son should be Mr.. Hunters cook Sc
long rs they both may 1.-Two.
Let tho good work go on, but ths
writer is sorry no is ineligible. Ev
cry timo he puts in an application fo
cook he gets "black ballod." We'll
we can't cook neither are wo allowed
to enter tho old soldiers homo, sc
what will wo do?
Speaking of tho old soldiers home
brings to our mind question we
wish some onc would give us light on
Say an old soldier was sent 70 inc
soldiers home, (provded a soldiers
home is ever established in South
# Carolina0 and that old soldier has ,
living companion. What is going t,
Ebe dono With his wife? As we under
stand it sho will not be allowed {,
enter the home. Well then what i
to be done with her? Send her {,
thofpoor house and tho old man t.
the aoldiers home? No, never d
that.
The wife Of the old soldier has ius
as much right TO be cared for as th
old soldier, Did she not stay q
home in the heroic days OF 1SGl.GG
3 toiledand suffered to raise her Chi
slrsn and kept q shelter for her dea
cntnpanion to- return to. If it ha
not been for the thoughts Of som
day returning toSa dearwife and hi
children, many q poor soldier neve
Sonld have fought es he did. No
