7. ENFIELD, Mr. T. L. Willey Dies in Richmond.

A telegram was received this (Friday) morning at 6:30 announcing the death of Mr. T. L. Willey which occurred in Richmond at 5:30. He was carried to that city Wednesday afternoon to be operated on for appendicitis but death claimed him before- an operation was possible.

His remains will be brought to Enfield on train No. 89 today and will be taken to his late home about two miles east of town. The time and place of his burial has not been announced as we go to press, but it will probably take place tomorrow at Eden Church where many of his people now rest. Mr. Willey was fifty-three years of age and is survived by his widow and seven children.

Will Wed in December. The following in part from the Greenville Reflector will be of interest to friends here: On Friday evening from 9 to 12 o'clock Mrs. Robert J. Cobb entertained a number of friends at a card party. The interest in the occassion was increased near the close by Mrs.

Cobb making the announcement, which took the guests by surprise, of the marriage of her daughter, Miss Irma Cook, to Mr. William Albion Dunn, of Scotland Neck, to take place in December. The announcement of this approaching marriage will be received with much interest not only in Greenville and Scotland Neck, but throughout the State, as both parties are well known. The bride-elect is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

R. J. Cobb and a social favorite. Mr. Dunn is a prominent lawyer of Scotland Neck.

The Ethel Morton Opera Company Coming. Mascot," which is to be presented at the Stallings' Opera House by The Ethel Morton Opera Company, whose engegement in this city will be for Monday night October 11th, is a quaint mixture of romance and absurdity that cannot fail to please not only those who have never seen it but those who remember it as a pleasant diversion in their lives. Those of you who have never laughed over the ill luck of Farmer Rocco and the mishaps of prince Lorenzo have something excruciatingly funny to look foward too. Those of you who have done so, will--we fell sure -laugh just as heartily a second time. But in between the comedy events are bits of pathos that cannot fail to appeal -while the pretty music and rustic love story form a fitting background to the picture.

A Daughter of Sheriff House Dead. Littleton, Sept. 28. -Miss Fannie House, daughter of Mr. J.

There died in Fayetteville, last week Mr. James W.

Atkinson. a gallant Confederate soldier, who was singularly respected by his comrades and esteemed by the whole community. The Fayetteville Observer gives this thrilling incident of the life of the brave man: E. J. Hale, who was adjutant general of Lane's brigade, and who commanded it in a number of battles in 1864, was struck with the intelligence and bravery of his young townsman, a member of the 33rd Regiment and made him color.

bearer of that regiment. This, under the law passed shortly before, made him ensign with the rank of first lieutenant. Hale says that he was tone of the bravest soldiers he ever saw. He distinguished him-1 self, under the former's eyes at Fuzzel's Mills, Ream's Station and Battery Gregg. His escape from the latter, under the fire of the enemy on the parapet, was watched by both armies.

When a couple of hundred yards away, he wheeled. unfurled his flag and waved it defiantly at the enemy. Then, he turned again, and, with his staff in his belt and his colors flying, he marched to the Confederate line as if on parade. Shortly after he began this march the enemy was heard to shout, "Do not shoot any more; he is too brave a man to kill!" -News and Observer. Presiding Elder Broom.
