Death o! Harold P. WhitbecK.
Harold P. Wliittn'ck, formerly
of this place, died in the hospital
at Hlkin, W. Va., from injuries
received on a sawmill at Durbin,
where he had been employed for
about one year, A board was ac
cidentia let fall onto an edger saw
by a fellow workman, and was
thrown violently through tin* mill,
striking Mr. Whitheck in the >-
doman. lie was taken to his
home and given medical attention
until Saturday when if was found
necessary to perform an operation.
He was taken to the hospital at
Elkin. and underwent an opera-1
tion in the afternoon, but died the
following day at noon.
His remains were prepared for |
burial, and on Monday Mrs. Whit-j
beck started with tin' body of her '
husband for this place, arriving j
Tuesday evening.
Mr. Whitheck was married toi
Miss Jennie Minnier in the year
HIO3. He was aged 2S years and
8 months.
The funeral services were luid
at the M. E. church Thursday al:
10 o'clock a., in.
Most people will lie surprised In
learn that the price of heel" li'uli-.-J
have steadily advanced in price <lm- ,
ing the past few years until now the!
hides hring a better price than sum.'
of the beef. Fifteen years ago the
hides brought a very small price,
being sold as low as one and oiie-lmi t'
cent a pound. At the present time
beef hides are bringing cents per
pound in some rural sections. This 1
is a higher price than is paid for thei
beef in these sections.
I lev. T. F. Hippie m idc * i phvs-'
ant announcement t > his congrega
tion in this place last Sunday evm- I
ing, stating that thirty-seven por-ons j
had professed conversion at hi- re-I
vival services at Kagles .Mere. Mis!
remarkable work at this place and !
Nordniont continues to advance in j
greater proportions as larger fields I
and opportunities open to him. I
With all due respect to former pas- I
tors on ihis charge, none have reap-)
ed the good results achieved by Mr. !
Ripple. Not only is he greatly in- j
creasing the membership of his |
church, but never has such Christian j
spirit, harmony and g< o 1 will among !
members been -liown as is now [
manifested. If ever man was called
to preach the gospel it was Mr.
Ripple, us nature fitted him for tbis !
work. lie preaches -jood doctrine, 1
and his power for righteousness:
reaches such volume and force that
no intelligent mind can long ignore)
his logic. Linking this with the !
happy faculty to impart the inspired !
knowledge to his eon verted followers ;
of Christ, they enter upon their new ,
life with supreme confidence in its
destination. May his u-efulness ever j
continue.
I'rof. 1.. L. Ford makes his ilesin s ;
known by a letter published else
where in these columns. It is to he
hoped that Mr. Ford may g«-t the;
united support of all citizens in the |
village, as his efforts and labor are I
notaloueofa financial benefit, but
equally worthy for the intellectual ;
and social lite for the tew remaining j
citizens of the fast depopulating!
tow n. There is nothing more valu-j
able to build up a place or business
than advertising. l!ut as adwrti- ;
ing is, to say the least, expensive, ,
judgement must he used in making
the expenditures judiciously, and in
a way to get valuable returns, other
wise money i- wasted. Mr. Fords'-
methods in advertising as well a
iu other pursuits have been found 1
very practical, therefore, there i
prohahly no one better prepared by
experience than Mr. Ford to prop
erly handle the advertising end of
this proposition, lb' has already
spent much of Ids time atid consid
erable money in trying to make
Liiporte more than it i- today, and
we think that every minded
citizen in the place should give him
their hearty support at this time,
mill when that [i» done, the town
count il should call a "-pecilll
i<>n" at which to act upon -nine
••reform mea-ures," the very tir»t
of which should lie to provide ftir a
place for til* towll cattle to pa-till'
