There have been some happen
ings in this community within the

Swallowed some homes with gloom.
The sudden death Of James Duck
er, of Illinois, on the night of

occurance. He had come south for
his health and has been living st

a sudden stroke about 10 o'clock
at night and died the next morn
ing between sand 6 O'Clock. The
remains were embalmed and taken
back to Illinois for interment.
They were accompanied by the
bereaved wife and three fatherlees
children, a sad journey to them.
An equally distressing occur
renee, only a few doors from the
other, was the sudden and mex
pected death of Mrs. Maggie
Crowell, daughter IF l. D. Nc
Carnes, on Friday. June 5th. She
became q mother at 10 O'Clock
and one hour later the little girl
was left motherless.
Col. J. G. Snuggs, about, if not
the oldest citizen of Gold Hill
community, has been critically
Ill, hardly expecting to receiver,
but he appears to be convalescent
now.

agent of Southern railway Go. at
Gold Hill, and Miss Lottie J. Rus
sell, daughter of J. l.. Russell,
were married in the Methodist
church of Gold Hill, Rev. James

ceremony. The church was beau
tifully decorated with e]vergreens
and was lighted and a large COM
pany witnessed the marriage. The
bridal party left on Thursday
morning for Newton, Catawba
county, to spend a few days, with
relatives at the old home of the
bridegroom. They will soon &C.
cupy their newly built house ne r
the Southern depot in this town.
Wheat and oats harvesting is
almost over and the crops of both
are fine.
We are having refreshing rains,
and the season is a fine one. Corn
and later planted potatoes, with
garden vegetables generally, are
quite promising.
The mining interests of the
community appear to be tagging
just now.
Cupid, it seems, is shooting his
arrows about and they are strik-

Whether the rank and file of
the Democratic party likes it or
nut, it seems to be almost a sure
thing that Mr.. Bryan has the
nomination almost in his grasp
now. An effort will of course be
made to nominate johnson or
Gray, but those who are unfriend-
ly to Bryan had as we'll be pre-
pared to yield to the inevitable
with grace and dignity. Unless
there be a most astounding change
of sentiment MI. Bryan will be
nominated for the third time,

In the defeat of Hoke Smith,
of Georgia there is a great lesson
to the demagogues and tricksters.
When the people learn the truth
about a man, and this they do
sooner or later. they speak in no
uncertain tones. They seldom do
any one injustice, but are often
mislesd by interruptions politi-
