OBITUARY.

Mrs. Caroline S. Virginia Lockbart
was born November 18th, 1882, and de-
parted this life February 10Th, 1908. at
p. M, at her home on Claypool
Branch, one mile southeast of Cedar
Bluff, where she was born and raised.
She was the daughter of the late Elijah
and Elizabeth Mcclure, and the only
sister of j. Marion Mcclure who sur
wives her.
She was married to Rev. Patton J.
Lockhart, of Baptist Valley, about the
year 1S49, who was born June sth, 1881.
and who peacefully fell asleep in Jesus
the 18th of September, 1904. To this
union, on Nov. 10th, 1852, little daugh-
ter, Celicia Sophronia Clementina, was
born. This tender little blossom faded
on Dec. 18th, 1862, but the memory of
the fond parents grew sweeter and
sweeter day by day until their sun had
set; yet the fond mother never fully
recovered from the great grief for her
exceedingly bright little daughter who
mad read the Bible through at her ten
ger age, could testify of the love of
Jesus, and could answer more questions
from the Book of Books than MANY
persons of mature age. The great
grief over the loss of this bright
child caused her to have a peculiarly
which many could not understand. She
lived IN sweet communion with her
blessed Christ, her Bible ALWAYS living
near her, or in her lap; she carried it
with her wherever she went. She trav-
eled with her husband while he rode the
circuit IN Bland county and North Caro-
INA several years ago, and loved dearly
to narrate the happy refreshings from
the Lord during their travels. 1t seem
ed truly that they were indeed one. as
they were so kind, loving and gentle to
each other. Brother Lockhart seldom
preached sermon, and they were
thousands, but what he referred in
some way to My little daughter.
Celicia." We believe that all five men
toned above, and who loved each other
so dearly, have Struck glad hands"
and are basking in the Paradise above.
where no more parting shall ever come.
Sister Lockhart was buried by the side
OF her husband and child at jones'
Chapel on the afternoon of Saturday.
Feb. 22d, after the funeral-was preach
ed at 2:SO at Cedar Bluff church by the
pastor, Rev. King, of the M. f. C. A
very large number of relatives and
friends were present to pay their last
tribute OF respect, not only to one whom
they loved, but also to her husband
their beloved departed pastor, who had
wept with most all of them many times
when he, too, performed the last sad
rites over their departed dead. Thew are
gone from US, yet there will ever linger
a sweet memory of those we so dearly
loved.
May all of her young relatives and
friends who read this, emulate her ex-
ample by giving their heart to God
while in early youth, while the evil
days come not nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, have no pleasure
in Him." ST. n

PENNSY RAISING
ITS ROADBED

David Nuss and his gang OF Srack-
men, who are engaged in raising the
roadbed on the 5. H. & W. branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad, have con-
siderably more than half completed
the section beginning at the ten mile
post below Riverside and ending near
the water tank above the station, a
distance of over a mile.
The improvement is very import
ant one. the track being raised eight
or nine inches along the entire dist
ance. Incidentally all the old ties are
being removed and new ones inserted,
The object of raising the track is to
elevate the cross ties farther above the
level of the natural ground, where they
will be affected less by wet and damp

SIX BARRELS
Of Lemonade

The usual preparations for a fitting
celebration of the Fourth of July are
Oh foot at the hospital for the insane.
The patients are aware of what is on
foot and are gleefully awaiting the
dawn of Independence day. During
several years past display of fire
works has been omitted in the Fourth
of July demonstration at the hospital
for the insane. The round of observ.
ances, however, includes pretty nearly
everything else that goes with a we'll
regulated Fourth of July.
The most interesting part of the
days program will be the field day ex-
ercise. which will be held Saturday
afternoon in the fine grove near the
western entrance TO the ground
The program will include all the
sports and amusements known. Prin-
cipal among these will be the contests
in which the patients will largely
participate. The matter of prizes has
not been omitted. Forty silk flags have
been purchased by the hospital and
these will be awarded to the success
full contestants in the various field
sports.
Neither have refreshments been over
looked. Nothing stronger than lemon
ade will be served. but it will be OF
the very best quality and there will
be no less than six barrels Of it, How
ard B, Schultz, the steward, will make
the lemonade; he has carefully figured
out the quantity required and has con.
cluded that it will take about two
hundred gallons. The lemonade with
cake will be served in the wards after
the field sports.

STEPPED TN
FRONT OF TRAIN

Emmit Langan, of Scranton, a flag.
man on the D. L. 81 W. railroad, was
instantly killed Tuesday morning
just above the Berwick depot when lie
stepped in front of the down passeng-
er train which reaches Danville at
9:l5 a. III.
Langan was with the freight crew
OF train No. 1888, and had just turned
switch to allow the passenger train
to run by, after the freight train had
been switched in on the siding. After
turning the switch he turned and
walked on the main track, directly in
front of the passenger train. He was
struck and knocked several feet from
the track, and when picked up by his
fellow workmen lie had expired. A
deep cash across his forehead where
the pilot of the engine struck him was
the cause of his death. Besides the
cash in the forehead his left arm was
crushed between the elbow and should
er.
The body was placed in the caboose
and taken to Berwick and later was
taken to Scranton, where burial will
be made.
Langan was aged about thirty five
years and was unmarried

DARING ESCAPE
FROM BLOOM JAIL

John MoCarty implicated in the
Jaffe robbery, at Berwick, about one
month ago, made daring escape from
the Columbia countyEJail, at Blooms
burg. Tuesday night, and although
every effort has been made by Sheriff
O. B. Ent, no trace Of his " whereabouts
can be found.
While Miss Lizzie Ent, daughter of
the sheriff and Mrs. Ent, the wife of
the sheriff, were allowing woman to
pass out of the door leading into the
jail, McCarty showed them aside, and
rushed out of the corridor and made
his escape running up Iron street and
then down the D. L. and W. railroad
tracks. While the prisoner, was run
ming through the corridor, Harold Ent
tried to stop him but was unsuceess.

Sheriff Ent was not at home at the
time the prisoner escaped, but was i'm
mediately summoned, and a thorough
search was made along the railroad
tracks but the man could not be Iocat-

There were e mt cases of typhoid

In May there were no deaths from

DR.. Shultz, the local registrar, states
that there is general prevalence of

been reported by the physicians, but
it is fact not at all doubted that a very
large number of children having

privately. The popular opinion seems
to be that whooping cough is mild
form OF disease which children, at one
time or another, are sure to contract.
This is true in a sense, DR.. ShuItz ex-
plains, but at the same time many
dangerous diseases follow as a sequ-
ence of whooping cough. By studying
the general reports it will be seen that
many deaths result indirectly from
whooping cough. DR.. Shultz says it is
somewhat remarkable that whooping
cough shouldfgain foothold at this
season of the year. Epidemics Of the
disease generally occur during cold

There was one case of chickenpox

No medical man needs to be told that

covery has occasionally been brought
about by means ineXplicably trivial
One of the most remarkable of these
unaccountable eccentricities of disease
took place at Halver, in Westphalia.
The case was that of a boy who, as the
result of a very heavy fall backward
on his head while skating, had for 4
year and n half been deaf and dumb.
One morning his brother went to
awake him and, finding him sleeping
heavily, tapped him lightly on the fore
head. To his amaZement the deaf and
