Moore Dale Shot ttfeefc l Mrs. J.. if. Greenwood is at home

About twenty minutes past one
o’clock Saturday afternoon the'
report came to relatives and
friends that Moore Dale had
probably fatally shot himself at
the home recently occupied by
his mother in the northwest part
of the city.
The young man was there
alone, occupying the south front
room, and neighbors heard sev-
eral gun shots, and later, a call-
ing as if for aid. Mr. E. H.
Lockman, who lives near, went
to the place and found the young
man wounded. Calling to his
aid J. C. Ramsey, who also lives
near, they called physicians and
notified relatives.
An automatic pistol was found
by the chair where he had been
sitting, and this is evidently the
place where the wound was made
as drops of blood were found be-
tween the chair and the bed upon
which he was lying when found
by the neighbors. It is supposed
he either shot himself accident-
ally, and then fired a number of
shots to attract attention of per-
sons living near, or that he was
handling the pistol, an automatic
one, and that it was fired and
fired again without control and
one of the shots struck him in
the breast. The relatives do not
think it possible for him to have
shot himself intentionally.
The wound entered the front
on the left of the center and
below the heart, and little hope
is held out for his recovery.
His sisters, Mrs. Walter Stokes
and Mrs. W. H. Vernor, and a
number of relatives and friends
are with him, in addition to the
physicians and everything pos
sible will be done to preserve his
life.

pasas.
Two sons, A. J. and E. A. Mc-
Nett, and three daughters, Mes-
dames Wesley Smith, W. T.
Bean and Elijah Moore, are left
to morn the loss of a faithful and
loving mother. The children
were all with her, except one son,
at the time of her death.
Mrs. McNett was one of the
pioneers of this section of the
state, she and her husband hav-
ing come here in an early day,
and made their way during times
that tried men’s souls. Many
years ago a nursery was planted
on their property, now owned by
W. C. Miller, and from this and
other crops they made their way
in the world to independence.
Deceased was a faithful, earn-
est and devoted member of the
Missionary Baptist church and
lived to see all her children pro-
fessors of the chriBtian faith and
members of the church she loved,
and to which her husband had
devoted a part of his life.
Grandma McNett will be
missed by the people among
whom she had lived, but by none
more than the children. May
the consolation of her religion
comfort them.
Pierian Club.
Those Pierian club members
who were well enough to brave
the cold March wind and wend
their way to Terrace Lawn, as
usual, on Friday afternoon spent
a very pleasant hour under the
leadership of Mrs. Ramsey, dis
cussing the varied learning and
accomplishments olj Confucius,
the curious customs of Chinese
courts of law, and sketches about
some of China’s most illustrious
viceroys and governors.
It is very interesting to traoe
the history of this peculiar peo
pie from early ages down to the
present time.
The Bay View magazine illus
trations and articles are particu
larly fine and helpful. The les
son next week will be the 31st
and 32nd chapters of “The
Awakening of China.” X

“ Blessed are the Pure in Heart for they
Shall See God.”
With the last loving tribute
clasped near her heart—the faint
fragrance of clinging roses
seemingly a soundless prayer—
Agnes Townsen Barnett with her
precious babe sweetly rests in the
bossom of Mother Earth await-
ing the call of the resurrection
morn.
Born—reared in Lampasas,
Agnes, daughter of Mayor and
Mrs. J. W. Townsen and beloved
wife of Dr.J.H.Barnett, was wide
ly known and endeared to many
throughout the community. She
possessed an inherent worth of
character, with the ennobling
qualities associated with high in
tellectual endowments; her most
winning trait—an innate modesty
(the beautiful setting to the dia-
mond of talents and genious)
marked with sweetness and puri-
ty of spirit that might be termed
—so to speak—the Palace of the
Soul. Hers was a nature of gen-
tle dignity—of loving thought-
fulness and tender sympathy em-
anating from the heart, that
made her loveable and loved—
her loss irretrievable. The hal-
lowed memory of that cloudless
young life—with a trace of sun-
light on her soul—will sweeten
(like pressed rose leaves) the
biiterness of an earthly separa-
tion.
“Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God.”
The promise of our Blessed
Redeemer mercifully given,
faithfully fulfilled, is the balm of
Gilead to heal the wounded heart
—the blessed solace for those
who mourn with sad mute lips
pressed to the wormwood cup.
Aye—verily—thrice blessed
they—mother and babe—“For
they shall see God.” X

SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught
McDuff, Va.—"I suffered for several
rears,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, o!
his place, “with sick headache, and
itomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
md 1 found it to be the best family medi-
;ine for young and old.
1 keep Black-Draught on hand all the
ime now, and when my children feel a
ittle bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick-
less in our family, since we commenced
ising Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
ate weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
ieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
jeadache, sick stomach, and similar
lymptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
han 70 years, and has benefited more
han a million people.
