Funeral Of Mr.. Shepherd.

Mr.. John Shepherds funeral,
in charge Of the Free Masons, of
which great order the deceased
was a valued member, occurred
this morning at 11:30. Inter
ment was in Mud Creek cemetery
and the church was packed with
friends of this valued old citizen
who listened to Rev. G. S. Jones'
words of appreciation of a char
acter at once fine and rare. The
pail bearers were Messrs. o. E.
BLY,, Seawell Bly,, Albert McLain,
W. A. Garland, G. M. Glazener,
and c. H. Browerd. The floral
tributes were numerous and beau
tiful and testified to the high es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Shepherd was
held by the community in which
he had lived for so many years.

with it, they pleaded. they cussed
it, but, for some good reason of
it's own it refused to move. May
be it was tired, or maybe it
didn't like it's load, but anyway,
it stopped exactly in the middle
of that beautiful wide stream,
and after e~xhausting their vo-
cabularies, talking real plain to
it, making just the rudest re-
marks you ever heard addressed
to a devil wagon, they stepped
gingerly from the machine into
the three foot of water and
waded ashore.
Then they started for town.
They found the road long and
hot and dusty, but they kept at
it, plodding along in Indian file,
and finally struck Main street.
From there to their homes the
side streets looked good to them
and they don't like for their
friends to speak of automobiles
yet.

Why They Didn't
Sec The Game.

A long, hot, dusty country
road. The great day star pour
ing it's direct rays upon four
tired, Disguised looking young
men. Footsore and weary, col

they struggled into town, avoid
ing their friends and indifferent
as to what the council intended
doing about the concrete walks.
Earlier in the day it was a
different feeling, and oh! so
different looking a crowd of well
dressed men who piled into
Walter Recess big red automo-
bile and started for Asheville,
there to witness the Henderson
vile team wipe up the earth with
the alleged Asheville aggrega-
ton of ball players. Now they are
