homes among their relatives. the
farm passed into other hands and but
little or nothing was said in the COM
niunity about the tragedy that d.
vided the household. For years have
tried to obtain some reason which
probably caused Mrs. Matthews to
take her life, but all the informa-
ton could obtain was that 1t was
believed that the death of Mrs. Mat
thews' youngest child and that of her
husband, so close together, had driv-
en- her insane. With these brief re-
marks they would do what they could
to change the conversation.
The brief memorial OF the Vincent
Matthews family is an unfortunate
one. The Oldest child, a daughter,
married Normal Harl and died of con-
sumption many years ago at the old
homestead. The Oldest SOL was a SOL
dier in Co. A, 18th Ky. Unfit, was
wounded during the Georgia campaign
and died at Ackworth Station. Geor-
gia. In the year 1866 the next Oldest
son was thrown from horse and
received injuries which caused the
amputation of one of his legs and a
week after the amputation he died
and the amputated limb was taken
up and placed in the coffin with him.
The youngest son and last survivor
of the family is now living near the
old homestead, but has been an in
valid for many years.
The Vincent Matthews homestead
is yet in a good state of preservation.
The notch in the rafter where the
rope was tied and the place where the
beam waS-which has been removed
that Mrs. Matthews stood on when
she fastened the rope and adjusted the
fatal moose, is yet shown to inquir-
ing visitors.
Vincent Matthews was the son Of
VIM Matthews, a pioneer settler Of
what was then Ohio county and his
wife was. Miss Preston, daughter of
an early settler of Grayson county,
and sister to the mother of the late
james Bozarth, for many years car
penter contractor of Hartford.
The Vincent Matthews homestead
is on the Hartford and Hardinsburg
road, near the Ohio county line. Many
years ago. when the Peytons, Kinch-
eloes, Eskridges, McHenrys, Taylors,
Etc, of Hartford and Hardinsburg,
visited their relatives in these Gowns,
the Vincent Matthews homestead was
a stopping place for a cool draught of
water or shelter from a threatening
storm. How little did these pronIi-
nent parsonage then think that in
this house in after years a terrible
drama was to be enacted and that at
the present time, of the many that
daily pass this quiet country home,
not one of a thousand of them ever
heard of the fatal calamity perpetrat-
ed in this once happy home and Of its
former occupants

Nerve energy is the

feel weak, nervous, irri-

Mr.. MlLLSAPS' INVENTIONS.
They Look Good to Many Peo-
ple-Millions in Them.

If Mr.. D. w. Millsaps, of Lum-
oerton, does not make at least a
million out of two of his inven-
tons he will be very much as
tonished, and there be other
people who will also be SURPRISED.
The other day in Laurinburg a
man showed how much conf
dence he has in the ultimate
proftableness of these inventions
by offering Mr.. Millsaps 500, 900
for his mail bag deliverer and
receiver, and the very next day
here in Lumberton another man
went a tenth better and offered
$4,000. And if those inven-
tons do make good the people
who have bought contracts from
Mr.. Millsaps will know just how
it feels to get money from home.
Mr.. Millsaps has sold any num-
Der of his contracts, in which he
agrees, in consideration of an
amount advanced to help push
his inventions, he will pay ten
times the amount as soon as he
realizes. The mail bag deliverer
and receiver, on which Mr.. Mill
saps received a patent recently,
is the very thing the govern
ment has been looking for
for 10, these many years, and it
is expected to command all sorts
of the long green, but the big
thing is the letter binder. The
government spends stacks of
money every year on Irvine
which can be used only once and
that it requires time to tie, but
with Mr.. Millsaps' binder, which
is very simple device, the work
can be done much more speedily
and at less expense. Mr.. Mill
saps estimates that during the
life of a patent, which is II
years, the government would
save at least SO, 500, 900.
Waiting on the government to
adopt something is slow bust
ness, of course, but when one
lands it's easy money and then
one can laugh at the days OF
waiting. Mr.. Millsaps has two
inventions that look mighty
good to lots of people.
