In sad but loving remembrance of John William

DEATH one year ago. June 5, 1870 and fell to sleep
in Jesus He is resting in peace beyond the river.
1t seemed such calamity. that the little fellow
should be taken at time when he was SO near
and dear to the lives of his parents. when he was
arriving at the stage Of life where childhood
by friend :. r. 5.
we had little treasure it was little boy
W. were % glad to have him. it filed our hearts
We tried SO hard to keep him. but etried in vain.
For God sent his angel to take him and then our
joy was pain.
In sad but loving remembrance of our dear
mother. Annie M. Bell who departed this life May
q, 1911.
Farewell mother. thy calm features.
Plainly tell all is well:
Yet it breaks our hearts to leave thee,
Farewell mother dear. farewell.
Farewell mother. may We meet thee,
Where the heavenly chorus swell;
Midst the happy we will greet thee,
Never more to say farewell.
Death has robbed US of our mother.
A home we loved and cherished dear;
1t was mother yes dear mother,
Can we help but shed tear?
Her busy hands are folded.
Her work on earth is done:
Her trials are all ended.
Her heavenly crown is won.
The memory of that Monday morning
When we stood around her bed,
Till death stole upon her softly
And we knew her soul had fled.
Oh Savior our hearts are 90 weary,
a. We walk along lifes way,
But her voice seems sweetly saying
Weep not we will meet again.

Threatened to Kill Salisbury
Merchant

A young man who gave his name as
Andrew Johnson was locked up in Sails
bury last week in deranged condition.
He entered the Office of Attorney George
w. Lilly and stated that he intended to
kill William B. Tilghman, business
man, because Mr.. Tilghman's dog had
bitten him. He said he wanted to retain
the services of a lawyer first. Mr.. Lilly
humored the man by directing him to
Chief Of Police Disharoon, who, he said,
would give him satisfaction. Johnson
went after Disharoon, who was on the
lookout, and placed him in Jail. Before
he succeeded, however, the man made
a break for Chief of Police Disharoon,
and cut his hand with knife. Mr..
Tilghman stated that the man had call
ed him by telephone last night and told
him he intended to kill Tilghman's dog.

January Court.

The January term of court convened
Monday with Judge Robley d. Jones
presiding. He was joined in the after
noon by Judge Toadvine, of Salisbury.
Not much Importance attaches to this
term of court, as it is a non-jury term,
and court adjourned Tuesday at twelve
O'Clock. The next term of court will be
held in March, this term having been
changed from May to the fourth Monday
in March. Heretofore, the spring term
of court has come at a time when the
farmers were busily engaged with their
crops, and they could i'll afford to lose
the time to attend court. The change
was made at the last session Of the
Legislature to meet a popular demand
for fixing a more convenient time for all
classes.
