Mr. Thos. j. Taylor was found dead
in his bed at his home near town Fri
day morning. He lived alone and it
is not known how or what time dur
ing the night he died. Heart disease
is believed to have been the cause of
death. He was a victim OF heart
trouble and realized his condition, so
much SO that he had been heard TO
express the belief that he would be
found dead in his bed some time or
fall suddenly while pursuing bis ac-
customed work. And he had signified
desire to be called hence in this
way rather than linger and suffer aud
be II helpless burden and care TO
others.
MIR. Taylor was a native OF Halifax
| county and was &c years old He
had lived in Henderson about twenty
five years and was we'll known in the
community. He was a carpenter
by trade and followed this work up
to the time of his death. The last
work he did was to build house for
himself on piece OF land lie had but
recently bought. A place he owned
near town was sold and the money
invested elsewhere. 1t was a matter
OF pride and satisfaction to him that
he was getting in shape to live at
home" as be expressed it, with land
enough to grow some crops, raise
vegetables, chickens and the like.
Mr.. Taylor was an honest man and
had the confidence and respect OF
those who knew him. He was a Con-
federate soldier and was proud Of the
part be and his people bore in that
struggle as he was of the distinguished
services rendered by some of his an
cestors in the Revolutionary war.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist Protestant church at 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon, Rev. j.
| L. b. Hoover conducting the service
Appropriate remarks were made upon
the life and character of the dead
man by Mr.. Andrew j. Harris, whose
Sunday-school class Mr.. Taylor had
been a member of and regular and
interested attendant for twelve years.
Mr.. Hoover spoke fittingly and feel
ingly of the passing of another old
Veteran, soldier of the Cross as well
as OF the Confederacy, one who was
loyal to country and faithful to duty
in war and in peace.
The pall-bearers were Col II. l..

Our Soldier BOYS.

Those persons who may think the
local military companies do not sup
ply a real want in the community,
and that the State encampments are
more for play and ''tin soldier" junk
cts than anything else, are invited to
read the article printed in the GOLD
LEAF this week about the Third Reg
iment encampment and the practical
work done by the troops. And what
applies to the Third applies likewise
to the First and Second Regiments
as far as instruction and results ac-
complished are concerned.
North Carolina has cause to be
proud of it's citizen soldiery and
each local company ought to receive
the hearty support and encourage
ment OF the people whose strong de-
fender it would be in time OF need.
We cannot think too highly of our
soldier boys and give them too loyal
O support.

Going After Evil Doors.

The town officials are doing IA
good work in going after Migrants
and evil doors generally. Fines col
lected in Mayor Powell's court during
the month of July amounted to
$21J.3J, from all sources. He sent 2
convicts to the roads and Justice II.
l.. Jones sent up one-13 in all.
That's pretty good beginning, but
if all the Migrants were put to work
the number would be considerably
increased.

Another Sudden Death.

Mr.. George B. Hughes ali old and
we'll known citizen, die,i quit. sudden
ly Tuesday morning Apoplex.v rs
given as the cause Of death. Mr.
Hughes was up town attending to
some business matters. He had just
been waited on i'll Dorsey's drug store
and turned to settle his standing ac-
count with Mr. Dorsey when he SEEM
ed to collapse and started to fall.
Bet for the fact that some one caught
him he would have fallen to the floor.
A conveyance was summoned to
take him to his home just outside of
the Eastern edge OF town II" lied
before he reached home.
Mr.. Hughes was 50 years old. He
leaves a wife and eight children, six
sons and two daughters Besides

terment was made at the old family

Mr.. Hughes was an honest man
prompt and reliable III his dealings
with his fellow men. One who had
had business relations with him ex-
tending over long period of years
in speaking about him said he had
never known a more honest man,

ings than Mr.. Hughes. A good citi-
zen, a sincere friend, a true man
every way was the eulogy pronoun-
ced upon him at whose sudden TAX

Guilford's Lesson for Vance.

The following object lesson on
good roads is taken from an ex-
change:
Five years ago Guilford county
had mud roads and twelve million
dollars worth of taxable property.
Five years ago the county issued
100000 of good roads bonds. the
money to be used within six years.
By next year the county will have
completed 100 miles of permanent
good roads
Already the county has twenty
three million dollars worth of taxa
BILE property-almost double what it
was five years ago. By next year it
will be more than doubled.

Change in Firm Name.

The Watkins Hardware Company,
retail department, has undergone a
change in name and hereafter it will
be known as the Watkins Brothers
Company. This is done to distin-
guish the business from the Watkins
Hardware Company, wholesale.
There will be no change except in
name, the same place, the same man
agement and the same business as
heretofore
Watkins Brothers Company, incor-
porated, sounds quite as we'll as Wat
kins Hardware Company, retail de-
partment, and the purpose of the
management is to do more business
and better business in the future.

GLOW Gomez"

What has become of the ordinance
against throwing banana peels and
like things on the sidewalk? It's
a dead letter, like the anticipating
law, and others. Yet Il person slips
on q banana or orange peel, sprains
his ankle or partially breaks his back,
and the menace is allowed to be re-
peated. If a suit should be brought
against the town and damages re-
covered in a good round sum, maybe
more attention would be paid to
such things.

VICTIM Of THE
COLD WEATHER
CHRIS. MARK, THE MAN WHO
HAD FEET AND HANDS FROZ-
EN-, DIED AT GILCHRIST HOS
PITAL SATURDAY EVENING.

Chris. Mark, the man brought
here last Thursday from Columbia
Siding with badly frozen feet and
hands, died at the Gilchrist hospital
Saturday evening.
One leg was amputated Friday
morning and it was Intended to take
the other leg and one of the arms off
Saturday, but the man was in a
pitiable condition as a result of the
exposure to which he had been sub
jected and the operation planned for
Saturday morning was delayed with
the hopes that the man would be in
better shape Sunday but he passed
away Saturday evening. The remains
were taken to the Sprague undertake
ing parlors and the interment will be
this afternoon at 4:30. The hospital
expenses and the burial will be stood
by Douglas county.
Mark was the victim of too much
Columbia Siding alcohol. He was a
late employee of the construction
work on the Moses Coulee branch
line and drifted into Columbia Sid
ing, where he filled up on liquor and
froze his feet and arms during the
late cold spell. Instead of receiving
treatment at once the man crawled
into an abandoned cabin ana laid
there for several days before he was
discovered. AS far as finOwn he had
no relatives in this country.

NEW FIRE SLED.

The new fire sled was tried out
yesterday At the last council meet
ing Fire Chief Throw was given the
permission to rig up fire sled. He
bought two bob sleds, had them fixed
up, brought down the big chemical
from Knob Hill and put the tank in
the double bob. 1t is much lighter
for the horses, so in case of fire in
this kind of weather and frozen
pipes, better time can be made. There
are 500 feet of new hose in the box
and 100 gallons of chemical in the
tank, so in case of bad fire and the
water frozen up, our firemen can
make a good, effective fight. Mr.
Throw has given up his position in
the Halbert & Weber hardware
store, and sits up all night now al
the fire station.

CAPTURED WATER
v|LLEPR|SONERS
PUGH AND SORRELL TAKEN IN
YESTERDAY AT EPHRATA BY
SHERIFF FERGUSON - WERE
FREE TWO WEEKS.

Sheriff Ferguson went to Ephrata
yesterday and picked up the two pri-
soners who recently escaped from
Waterville, Pugh and Sorrell. The
notice of the escape of the two men
from Waterville was advertised in all
of the central Washington papers.
and it was thought that the men
would be recaptured in a few days.
The escape was made January 8 and
they were out of custody just two
weeks.
The Waterville officers were adj
vised by phone by Frank Brockman,
who is running pool room in
Ephrata, that he thought that the
two men were in that city, and Sher-
if Logan phoned down to Sheriff
Ferguson and asked him to go down
and take the men in. He left here
at II o'clock on the delayed train
and easily found the men he was
after Pugh was swapping around
the saloons and had done some work
for the deputy sheriff at that place.
Sorrell was cooking in one of the
lunch counters. After being taken
into custody both men owned up that
they were the ones wanted. They
were brought TO this city yesterday
afternoon and Deputy Sheriff Lyle
came down last night from Water
Vile and went up on this mornings
stage with the prisoners.
The men escaped from the Water
Vile Jail during the bitter cold wea-
Their. The night after they left the
thermometer went down to Is below.
They slept that night in the open.
Pugh said to Sheriff Ferguson that
the magpies keep chirping all night
and at each call they imagined that
it was Sheriff Logan after them. They
followed the ridge above the railroad
grade down to the Columbia river
and then caught freight into Ephra-
ia, where they have been for the past
ten days. When asked by Sheriff
Ferguson why they did not keep go
ing. Pugh answered that they wanted
to make a few dimes before leaving
this section. They intended leaving
Ephrata last night for Spokane.
