Sudden Death of a Good Woman.
The death of Mrs. Sallie Wyche,
wife ofour townsmau, Dr. J. E. Wyche,
last l'riday night brought uuutterable
sorrow- to the family and friends of
that most excellent women. Mrs.
Wyche had been in poor health a year
or more, suffering with kidney trouble,
but until a day or two before her death
had been able to direct her household
affairs and go about among her friends,
and few were prepared for the news
that uer life was- ended. She was a
daughter of Mr. J. N. Richardson, of
this city, and iu addition to her hus-band
and little daughter she is sur-vived
by her father, two brothers, Dr.
W. J. and Dr. E. E. Richardson, and
a sister, Mrs. S. L. Trogdon. She had
been a consistent Christian all her life
and t he approach of Death caused no
terror iu her heart. Her funeral took
place Saturday evening from the fam-ily
residence on West Gaston street,
her pastor, Rev. Dr. Turreutine, con-ducting
the touching service, assisted
by Rev. Dr. Crawford. The remains
were tenderly laid to rest in Greene
Hill cemetery beside those of her
mother and a little daughter who had
preceded her to the world on high.
The pallbearers were Messers. C. H.
Ireland, F. C. Boyles, T. M. Piekard,
S. L. Alderman, M. S. Sherwood and
Dr. J. S. Betts.
Bids for Road Bonds Rejected.
The recent Hurry in the financial
world threw a damper on the sale of
the lirst block of county highway im-provement
bonds and as a result all
bids submitted were rejected by the
highway commission Monday, a very
proper action considering the fact that
the highest bid was less than 104.
When gilt-edged securities like those
offered Monday are not in demand at
a reasonable figure it is best to hold
them until conditions are more favor-able.
Certainly the county has noth-ing
to lose and much to gain by delib-eration
in times like this. One of the
bidders here Monday candidly told
the : • rC that there was no demand
for bonds just now and that even at
the price he offered there would be no
profit in the transaction for his house.
While the failure to sell this block of
bonds necessarily delays the perma-nent
improvement of our roads every-one
seems to uphold the highway com-missioners
in their effort to get a reas-onable
price for the securities offered
hy the county. In the course of a few
months conditions will have chanced
and then these bonds will unquestion-ably
command a price that is worth
considering.
A Jewelry-Laden Hoho.
(llfuer Barnes arrested a young hobo
last Wednesday night for beating trains
who was laden with several watches,
two or three score of cheap linger rings
and other jewelry. The man was rid-ing
a haggage car when lirst seen by
the officer aud put up such a pitiful
story about wanting to get home to see
bis sick mother at Richmond that the
officer's heart was touched and he had
a mind to turn him loose, but he
didn't. Instead the man was taken to
police headquarters and searched and
iu addition to the jewelry a big revolver
was found on his person. He first
gave his name as I.. L. Smith and his
address as Richmond, but later mi said
he was Elmer E. Justice, of Pittsburgh
Two of the gold watches he was carry-ing
had Elgin movements and another
had a Waltham movement. On the
case were engraved the initials "(i. S.
\\.." and inside the case was the in-scription,
"Girard from Mania, 1894."
The officer thiilks the jewelry was sto-len
from some pawnshop, as it has the
appearance of having been stored away
in a careless manner. Mayor Osborn
bound the traveler over in the sum of
%\& for beating trains and $25 for car-rying
concealed weapons.
Many of the merchants of the city
are interested iu a movement looking;
to a permanent closing agreement
which will be effective. It is proposed .
to close all the stores at 7 o'clock every
evening except Saturday during the;
months of January, February, March,
July, August and September, and at >>!
o'clock during the months of April,
May, June. October and November.
During the heavy trading season iu the
month of December the merchants re-serve
the privilege of closing w lien they
choose. On the Saturday nights oc-curring
during the earl lest closing pe-'
liod the stores will close at 10.30. Dur-ing
the other live months they will
close at 11 o'clock. It is thought there
will be little difficulty in securing the
general adoption of this agreement,
which represents mutual concessions
on the part of the merchants aud the
clerks.

The Colored A. & M. College.
Notwithstanding this school opened
a month earlier than usual, in accord-ance
with the change made by its trus-tees
at their annual meeting last May,
yet the enrollment of students during
the mouth of September has far ex-ceeded
the number expected under the
change. The experiment of opening a
month earlier is an assured success.
The students and teachers got right
down to regular work the lirst day and
the class-room exercises have moved
along very smoothly ever since. The
outlook for the school year is indeed
very gratifying.
The county commissioners had a busy
ses.-iou this mouth. Monday in addi-tion
to a mass of routine matters juries
were drawn for the October term of
court, lasting two weeks. Yesterday
the board was engrossed in road mat-ters.
The petition for a road in Wash-ington
township was denied, very
great opposition having developed.
The petition for a road leading smith
from South Elm street was withdrawn.
The other petitions pending were
granted. Applications for the opening
of four new roads were filed and order-ed
advertised. Convict camp No. I
was ordered to the Horseshoe road, in
GilmeranfJ Morehead townships, after
completing the work under way on the
Red Hill mad. A special school tax
election was ordered iu the northern
part of Monroe township November 17.
