VERY SAD DEATH.
Illness of Mrs. A. q. Dixon Proves
Fatal After Her Condition Seemed
to Promise Hope of Recovery-Body
Taken to Baltimore for Burial.

One of the saddest deaths this
community has been called upon to
mourn in a long time was that OF
Mrs Mary Ella Dixon, wife Of Rev.
A. G. Dixon, which occurred about
2 o'clock Monday ,morninv. She
| was sick a little over three weeks
with typhoid fever and her case had
been serious from the first. Then
her condition seemed toimprOve and
for three or four days the chances of
recovery appeared more favorable.
But just as hope began to return to
the devoted husband, faithful physi-
clans and anxious friends the end
came.
Mrs. Dixon before her marriage
was Miss Mary Ella Watts, of Balti-
more She was married to Rev. A. G.
Dixon, the present beloved pastor of
the Henderson Methodist Protestant
church, about one year and u half
ago. This union was blessed with Il
little daughter, about six months
old. Mrs. Dixon was in the twenty
eighth year of her age She was a
most excellent woman, of beautiful
character and Christian virtues and
by her a miable disposition and at
tractive manner she greatly endear-
ed herself to all who came within the
sphere of her acquaintance. There is
deep and widespread sorrow at her
death. Even among those to whom
she was not personally known the
deepest interest and sympathy was
felt in her sickness and the announce
ment of her death saddened all
hearts.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist Protestant church, where
she ever delighted to worship, at
11:3O o'clock Monday. Rev. J. E.
Hartsell conducted the service as
sisted by Dr. Nash. The body was
taken to Baltimore for interment.
Messrs. r. r. Satterwhite and d. W.
Hardee accompanied Mr.. Dixon.
With them was Miss Rosa Watts,
sister of Mrs. Dixon, who had been
with her during her sickness

SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.
Death of Mr.. J. B. Wester.

Announcement was made in these
columns last week of the sickness of
Mr.. Joseph B. Wester. 1t was stated
that he had malarial fever, but was
getting on very well. He had not
been seriously i'll at any time during
the ten days he was confined to his
home, and his death at 2 o'clock Fri
day afternoon was a shock to his
family and friends. 1t came sudden
ly, almost without warning, for there
appeared to be nothing in his cOndi-
ton to cause alarm. In his death a
good man has passed away. He had
many friends and perhaps no enemies.
He was quiet in manner, friendly in
disposition, an upright citizen and
Christian gentleman.
Had he lived until September Mr.
Wester would have been AZ years
old. He was a son OF the late A. ID.
Wester, and was born in Franklin
county. He had been a resident of
Henderson about IA years. Four
brothers and one sister are living.
These are Messrs. w. H. and Robert
L. Wester, of Henderson; Mr.. A. D.
Wester, of Franklinton; Mr.. John NJ
Wester, of Elberton, Ga, and Mrs.
W. Ed Moss, of Henderson. He leaves
a wife and two children. No man
was ever more devoted to his family
He was a man OF domestic tastes and
habits and it was in his home life
that his true character was revealed
in it's strength of devotion and beauty
of symmetry.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
fist church, of which deceased was a
consistent and loyal member, at $3.50
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The at
tendance was large. many persons
having to stand. Rev. J. D. Larkins
conducted the service, assisted by
DR.. Nash. AS his pastor the rela-
lions between Mr.. Larkins and Mr..
Wester had been close and intimate
and the formers remarks were touch
ing and appropriate. He paid mer-
tied tribute to the worth and char
| acter of the dead and drew an apt
lesson for the living in the uncer-
tainty of life, and the certainty and
sometimes suddenness of death, as
illustrated in the sudden taking of
of one by which the community was
| bereaved.
Interment was made at the GENE,

Communica ted.
The Young Women s Christian Temper
ance Union gave silver reception at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Z. b. Brady Tues
day evening, July 18th.
The home was artistically decorated
for the occasion. The reception com
mittee did their duty in making the
evening helpful and attractive.
The program consisted Of music and
recitation, and last but by no means
least, refreshments.
The Union is indebted to Mrs. r. 2.
Watson for her appropriate solo and to
others who rendered their willing service
especially the host and hostess for their
cordial hospitality. Would that more oil
our young people would join us and use
their influence for temperance.

Personal.

Mr.. Benjamin Lacy, Jr., oaRaleiSh,
spent several days in Henderson dur
ing the past week. He was here in
the interest of the News and Observer,
putting in his time this way during
vacation. He is student at David
son College, and while it is not neces-
sary for him to do so he prefers to
earn at least part OF the money to
pay his way through college. There S
something in boy with that sort of
stuff in him. But then being the son
of his father (the honored State
Treasurer) with so excellent a moth
er the young man naturally inherits
the good qualities that make for
character, worth and manhood.

Hcnderson's Distinction.

Whoever is elected Henderson will
have the distinction of having helped
to name the next President of the
United States. Mr.. T. T. Hicks was
a delegate to the Chicago convention
and was one of the voters and shout
ers for Theodore Roosevelt. Mr.. A.

his voter helped to nominate him.

Relief FOR Starving Cattle.

men have received information that the
secretary Of the department Of agricul-
ture Is willing to raise the government
quarantine on the southern countries
TO permit the moving Of starving cattle
nothward to where there Is abundant
feed. The understanding was that
this implied that the entire state would
be once more quarantined temporarily.
There are no ordinances in the north
ern counties against admitting cattle.
Therefore 1t is said that II the secre-
tary OF agriculture takes favorable
action all that would be necessary was
for the state veterinarian to satisfy
the counties that all cattle would be
carefully inspected before removal.
There Is abundance Of feed in some Of
the northern counties. The grass Is
