THE ODD FELLOW entertainment.
4 Large and Enthusiastic Gathering. Well
Attended and Much Enjoyed.

The Odd Fellows of Salisbury
and adjoining communities were
royalty entertained by Gordon
Lodge, No. 1853, I. O. 0. f., and
assisted by the Daughters of Re-
bekah, IN their hall last Friday
night. A splendid programme
was arranged and nicely carried
out. The arrangement of the
programme and the success of the
gathering was largely due to the
efforts of John A. Howard, one of
the most enthusiastic Odd Fellows
in the city, but without the work
of the Rebekahs success would
have been doubtful. The meeting
was opened with stirring music by
the Chestnut Hill Band, which
also made music often and we'll
during the evening. P. S. Carl.
ron, Esq, made a lofty and elo-
quent address of welcome, and
various subjects Of interest to the
Order were ably discussed by Revs.
w. II. Rich and L. A. BLACKWELL
er and John L. Rendleman, Esq.
Short talks were also made by
Samuel R. Harrison and W. M.
Barkor, both Odd Fellows for more
than half a century. A supper
consisting of oysters. fruits, cakes,
etc., was spread in the armory ad.
joining and served by the ladies,
to which all were invited. After
supper and just before closing Rev.
J. II. J. harrington, in a few beau
tiful and appropriate remarks,
presented to Mrs. e.. O. Kluttz, q
member of the Rebekahs, with a
handsome emblem-ring, she hav.
ing won same by bringing in more
new members than any one else
during a specified time. This
meeting was one of the best at
tended, most enjoyed and of more
benefit to the Order than any sim.
liar meeting that has been held in
Salisbury for years. Visitors
from many adjoining cities were
in attendance.

DUNN'S MOUNTAIN NEWS ITEMS.
BartIette Makes a Suggestion and Allows
Some Ideas TO Escape.


Some Ideas to Escape.
Dunn's Mountain, Feb. Sat
last the weather has moderated,
the heavy sleet-ice gone and a
good portion of the peach trees
are scattered over the ground.
Guess there will be more than
likely a short crop of peaches
through this section.
Luther Miller and sister, Pearl,
visited their grandfather and yours
truly. We all enjoyed their visit.
Come again.
There seems to be some confu-
sion at and around Millertown.
Uncle Josh has come into our
ranks to supply us with the news
and Betsy has revived again, We
are glad to hear from both, bnt it
seems that if Betsy would write
fromRitchfeld she would be giving
her section place in our paper
(THE WATcHMAN). We would
suggest as a compromise that
Betsy report the Richfeld news
and Uncle Josh the Millertown.
We know Bro. Josh and believe
he will do, justice to himself as
we'll as the WAToHMAN. Send
'em along Josh.
It seems strange that Bro. Lee
and yours truly should be the tar
get of SO much ridicule and sport
making. We can't help that we are
not Rockefeller or Vanderbilt
and can have our breakfast at an
exact hour and have the same
served to our guests oua silveg
waiter by an ebony servant, hqk
can we help it if we have to slasp'
on the floor while our guests have
to suffer i'll a box over night IN
stead of a fine bedstead with
downy pillows and fine lambs
wool blankets. However we are
always ready and willing to divide
our best boxes (beds) and our
scant grub (breakfast) with our
ever welcome and congenlal guests.
Verify our lot is hard one. How
ever we are content to accept what
this world has in store for us and
not do much kicking our selves.
What about it Bro. Lee.
Miss Mollie Kesler has gone on
visit to her sister Mrs. Pierce
Leonard.
Jno. Leonard killed a porker
which weighed near 100000 lbs.
Well some Of the naughts don't
mean lbs but the above is as near
as we could guess it's weight as it
was a very heavy hog.
Miss Esther Cauble has been un-
able to attend school for a few
days past On account of a very
sore throat.
We guess the ground hog knows
his business, anyway. according to
the old saying, he has decided to
take up his abode for another six
weeks.
AS news is scarce and gossip too
we think for this time this will
do. BARTLETTE.

Thirteen persons we're sentenced
to the chain gang by tho court
last week. Ten Of them are al
ready serving their sentence. The
other three have ten days in which
to decide whether or not they will
appeal.
Nick J. Sheriff., of Charlotte,
has bought the Sossaman Springs

later improve the property and
open it to guests, but for the pres
ent will only put,up the water to

Mrs. Beulah Shinn died last
Monday night at her home on
Buffalo street. She was the wife
of Mr., - Shinn, of the firm of
Hopkins & Shinn, and half sis
ter Of Mr.. Will Jerome. She leaves
an infant two weeks old, and two
other children. The body was in
tered at Bethel graveyard in No.
10 township.
The carpenters are now busy at
work putting in shape the store
room next to Ritchie Hardware
Co., to be occupied by the Ivey
Shoe Co.
Hall Taylor was badly cut in
the face Monday night. He says
he was walking on Depot street,
and when front of Rev. G.. II.
Cornelison's g two men held him up
and demanded his money. When
he refused to give it up, he says,
they cut him. Taylor came up
street and had his wounds attend
cd by DR.. Smoot and Pemberton.
He is badly cut. There seems to
be more or less mystery about the
case.
There was a general fight We'd
nesday night among the colored
males and females at home on
Depot street just below the old
Coleman store. The whole neigh
borhood was disturbed. The ne
groes had a dance, which broke
up in row, of course. Lon Smith
was badly cut up by his wife. A
negro named Moss hit Lou Bost
on the head with a stone, and
pretty badly hurt him.
"Prof." E. Martin, the in
structor in pugilism, who runs
joint in the old Coleman store on
Depot street, is now bording with
Jailer Robinson. It has been sus.
pected for some time that he has
been selling whiskey here, and a
true bill was found against him
in two cases. He was arrested on
a capias by Sheriff Harris last
Tuesday night, who fixed his bond
at $500. This Martin has not
been able to give, and is still in
Jail. It seems to be pretty well
established that this is very pro.
nounced case of blind tiger.
The death of DR.. Charles Barn.
hardt, briefly announced in our
last issue, was an event which cast
gloom over whole community.
His death occurred at his home in
Mt. Pleasant Tuesday morning at
8 O'Clock after an illness of only a
few days ofpneumonia. DR.. Barn
hardt was sick for several days
before he took his bed, and on
the day before he was confined he
attended patients bedside all
day when his own temperature
was 105. This circumstance shows
the man he was-unselfisb always
and to the end.
At the recent meeting of the

For people who are rundown and nerv-

and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into its proper condition. 1t
Is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants

Nearly STty years ago, DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the lnvalids'

extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce q medicine which was marvel0usly
efficient in curing cases OF blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as we'll as
many other chronic, or lingering all
ments. This concentrated extract Of
Natures vitality he named "Golden Med

putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition. thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation Of food which
feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak

II you have coated tongue, with bitter
