10 Crushed to Death.
AS the Stub was pulling out from

Dickinson was on the north side OF
the train and Just as the last car
was passing him he deliberately craw
led under In front Of the rear trucks
ard calling out, Goodbye boys" was
crushed to death. There was no one
Lar enough to prevent him. and whe
the nearest ones reached the spot his
L0dy was crushed into pulp and LII
bad fled. There was no reason ex-
cept his lonely life and great suffer
Ing from bodily ills.
Uncle Charley" as he was famil-
iarlly known to all his friends. and
that was all who knew him. was one
Of the most cheerful and kindliest OF
men. He had good word and a jok
for every one. and 1t was the delight
CT his life to talk or play with the
little children. He was q veteran OF
the civil war and one OF the western
pioneers. He was one Of the early
settlers Of the Arkansas valley, and
has been well known and well lik-
ed character for years. He lived for
many years In Las Animas. making
occasional short stop In other towns
along the valley but for several years
Lamar has been his first love. and h
has been familiar form along the
streets or at the depot where his ira
&c death occurred. He has hardly
missed meeting any Of the day trains
In half dozen years. Always cheer
fu;. although at times suffering great
". he never was heard to complain
Of his lot. His life was lonely. but
It was only In the last few days thai
he seemed to begl0omy and determ
tnsd TO end 1t all. He had been SUI
fering more than usual Of late and
this probably rendered him disponder
He had NO relatives here. but had a
daughter and some grown grand
children In New York City. where
his early life was spent. He has been
e. some years little flighty In mind
but NO one paid any attention to that
here as all knew his history and dee
" sympathized with him. He was a
bout seventy years Of age and had
seen all Of the hardships Of the early
pioneering in the west. A kindly
soul has passed away from this life
and uncle Charley has found that
rest and comfort he could never have
again here.

Children's Day at Union-Good
Work Being Done.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The good people of White
House community celebrated
their first Children's Day last
Sunday, August End. The church
(school house, was packed to its
utmost capacity, with equally as
many more on the outside.
The recitations, dialogues and
songs were grand. Bro. Foster
Walters is surely doing a great
work for this community. Every
child seems to say by it's actions
that it is growing up for Jesus.
This Sunday school is made up
of jealous people-Faulks, Turn
ers, Walters, ETC., with Mr.. Jes-
sic Turner as secretary. He is a
brave young man. We hope TO
see sin and folly melt away in
this neighborhood as did the
grand army Of Napoleon in the
Northern SHOWS before Moscow S
wrathful breath. Come over in
toMacedonia and help US. We well
come one and all, old and young,
great and small. We invite grave
and gray to enjoy each Sabbath
day.

in history as the drawing

themselves. | am in favor of d
law placing our county commits
sioners on a fair salary, a law so
plain that the county attorney
may understand it's provisions,
so they may be spared the charge
of violating the laws.
Now, as the time is fast ap-

that had repeatedly violated the
laws he had sworn to uphold!
The Socialist party nominates a

endorsing his misdeeds. Will
the Democratic party Of Robe

the misdeeds of her officers? |
think not.
Now, I wish to be understood
