Occasionally one will hear the
remark, ~ wish I was out of this
town." and then one feels like say
ing, IT wish you were," for man
who stands on the street corners
chewing and splitting, telling OBJ
scene lstories, cursing the town,
finding fault with his grandmother
because she was a woman, claim
ing that the merchants are lot Of
thieves, that the lawyers and news
paper men would skin man to a
finish, and whole lot more, is a
nuisance and an abomination.
Any town pestered with one or
more such worthless would be justi-
fed in exercising cowhide author
ity on the bosom Of their pants.
No one is obliged to live where he
is not suited. If one has Mt an en-
couraging word for the business
enterprise and institutions of his
town, he should shut up and ego
way back and sit down" If
things don't suit you, move to
where they will. A growler and
sorehead in town is an enter
prise killer every time. 1t would
pay town to donate him $500
and tell him to move.

Labor is one Of the supreme laws
of life. Toll is honorable. The
progress which the world has made
is a glorious testimonial to human
handiwork. Those who work
know more of genuine happiness
than those whose lives seem dedi-
Gated to idleness.

Mr.. Benson looked back down the
road, few yards away, he saw
Mr.. Shue lying in the road and the
smoke of gun. Mr.. Benson at
once proceeded to where he was ly-
ing and informed his wife and Mrs.
Albert Slocum, "a lady visiting
them) that he was dying.
No one saw the person that fred
the gun. But Mr.. Taylor acknow-
lodged to several citizens next
morning that he was the man that
killed Hill Shue.
Doctors Jelks and Pollett, of
McCrory, were phoned for but
their services were of no use as
Shue had almost breathed his last
when they reached the place where
he was shot.
Mr.. Shue was about SO years old
and leaves a wife, l boy and 4
brothers to mourn his death. He
died about IL O'Clock, having lived
about 5 hours after he was shot.
His request during his lifetime
was that he wished to "die with his
boots on" While he was lying
in the road where he was shot
some of his friends relieved his
feet of his footwear but when they
saw that he was about to die, and
remembering his request they
put his shoes back ON his feet and
thus he died, "with his boots on"
