Wednesday, March 18, 1885. MISS ALICE CANNON died Friday morning the 13th of March, 1885, at the residence of her uncle, COL. G. CANNON. She was buried Saturday in the cemetery at that place. Praise of her pure life, her conscientious performance of duty, her faithfulness in all things, is necessary in this community where she is known. She chose teaching as a profession, and a more faithful and earnest teacher never entered a school room. She had opinions about things and was not afraid to think. Her convictions were clear cut and decided. When it came to questions involving right and wrong, it was not hard to tell which side she was on. Her well rounded Christian life gave her strength to endure, without a murmur, long confined to her chamber and to look forward with joyous anticipation to a home in the place prepared by that Saviour whom she loved so well and served so faithfully. ---------- CALVIN BRIGHT died the 12th, instant, near Duncan's, in his 75th year. He was confined by the family in a small cabin in 1858 as a lunatic and did not recover up to the time of his death. Over one third of his life he was confined in a cell by himself and well cared for by his family. ---------- When it comes to first class mountain butter, firm and yellow, MR. O.P. SMAWLEY of White Oak Hall, Polk County, N.C., is hard to beat, or the good woman who manages the butter at his house is. In our absence sometime ago he left two cakes on our table that were excellent. ---------- CLEM MABERRY'S stables in Union county were burned, Friday the 6th instant. He lived near Asbury post office. His loss was about $300. " Racer" BILL BROWN had a fine mare in the stable and she was burned. The fire started about 3 o'clock and the orgin is a mystery. ---------- CAMPOBELLO LOCALS - This section is remarkably healthy and should not be over looked by those seeking a pleasant location. MR. F. CANTRELL, who owns several hundreds acres of desirable lands , is always ready and anxious to sell, swap, or barter in quantities to suit purchasers. - We have a Methodist church of long standing and the Baptists have organized a church within the last few years and they have erected a house of worship, which they expect soon to occupy. - The Grange still flourishes here. - MR. DODD, assisted by his daughter, is building up a good school. He seems to be quite sanguine of success. - A municipal election was held here the 9th instant, with the following results: H.D. BALLARD, Intendant, DR. J.W. MITCHELL, J.R. FOSTER, R.A. BROCK, and J.A. DODD, Wardens. Ours is a 'dry' town now, henceforth and we hope forever. It was chartered dry.
