For some time reports have
been coming from West Durham
that some man out in the woods
near that place was selling whis.
key and when witnesses were
questioned they were unable to
tell from whom they purchased
their booze. Efforts to get in.
formation to cause the arrest oi
anyone have proved futile.
Last Sunday officer Joe Pleas.
ants went out to the woods
where it was reported that the
whiskey was being sold. 1t was
not long before he located his
man, but when he approached
the guilty man took to his heels
and a chase followed. However,
he landed his man and a trial
was had Monday and Will Payne
was bound over to court in q
bond of 5000, which he could not
give and was locked up. The
reason Payne could not be re.
cognized was 3ue to the fact that
while selling whiskey he wore O
false beard, and when the days
business was over he would re.
turn home with the beard mis-.
sing. When he was caught and
the beard removed the officer re-
allied that he had captured a
man well known to them as an
old offender. -..

Almost Fatal Accident.

Friday afternoon as east bound
passenger train No. 1876 was ap-
preaching the city. and when
nearly opposite Trinity College,
the engine struck a wagon and
completely demolished the same.
The driver of the wagon drove
his team on the track just as the
train was in a few yards of the
crossing and before the engineer
could do anything towards stop
ping the train, the wagon was
struck and the negro man was
thrown out and bruised up con-
siderably. No one seemed to
know him and he left the scene
before any of the railroad men
had time to question him. He
was evidently not hurt very much
as he walked away and no one
knew what direction he took.

she had a tender and devoted
husband and a multitude of
friends she did not lack for the
very best attention, and if she

Mrs. Gates was a member of
Mt. Zion Methodist church and
was faithful to attend until her
hearing become impaired and
her health gave way. However.
she did not neglect her prayers
and was ever faithful to her
Bible and to her God.
On one occasion this scribe had
the pleasure of asking her if she
loved Jesus and never saw a
brighter or more heavenly ex-
preston light up ones counte-
nance and her eyes were drowned
in tears, and | will never forget
that look of her eyes betokened
in praise of Him whose blood had
cleansed her soul from sin and
. then she began to relate her
sweet experience of her Christian
life, how she had tried to honor
and serve the Lord, the one that
she loved and delighted in more
than all earth combined. Mrs.
Gates often spoke of her only
angel child that proceeded her to
the glory world in infancy, and
she was perfectly resigned to go
and be with her darling child.
Her life proved that there were
angelic visitors near by waiting
to conduct her home. She saw
her chariot and death approach
ing but she feared them not as
her room was bright and full of
angels and she went from her
bed of intense sufferings to a
bright and shining crown. to
sing with Jesus who had folded
her dear child in His arms.
To her friends, loved ones and
dear husband, weep not for her,
but prepare to meet her and your
God some day.
