Company, will excuse us for telling a joke
on him. On Thursday, up trip of the Str.
Northeast methodist minister, young
gentlemen from Raleigh, Capt. Thigpen
and ourself were seated in the saloon to-
gether. Capt. T. and the Minister soon
fell into conversation, and after discuss
inc various subjects, that of the Catholic
church was finally introduced. This was
discussed some time and the Captain at
length closed his remarks by saying that
he believed in a mans own accounta-
bility to his God, and that the interven-
The young gent from Raleigh at this stage
concurred with Capt. T., citing q case in
point IN which his mothers cook, who was
religiously iuclired, stole goose and short
" thereafter applied for permission to have
dinner earlier than usual in order to par
take Of Sacrament that day. Her request
was readily anted, but his mother think
ing it proper time to administer rebuke,
asked her how she could conscientiously
take part on, such sacred occasion after
stealing a goose only few days before.
Why, Mistress" exclaimed the astonished
darkey, "You spose I'm gwine to let an
old goose stand twixt me and my God?"
Captain Thigpen now saw the point and
no one appreciated the joke more than him
self.

"CHAwED. Capt. John King, for
mer Tarborean, but now resident Of Pitt
and a Justice of the Peace for the township
in which he lives, was somewhat sold, we
are informed, on the night following the
snow the latter part of last week. He was
sent for by youthful swan to unite him and
his fair dulcinea IN the holy bonds of mat
rimony and the Captain, gallant as ever
mortal was, promptly repaired to the
brides residence 5 miles distant to perform
the ceremony; the snow, rain, mud and
sleet to the contrary notwithstanding. He
found the friends anxiously awaiting his
arrival, the young lady lovely and radiant,
the groom (that was to have been) the hap
piest man in Pitt county. In due time the
Captain with much solemnity announced
that he was ready, the visitors gathered
about him, but the young lady at this
iunctude all at once hesitated and-per-
emptorily backed out. We guess the Cap
tain was about as badly sold as the young
gent in black.

Drowned.

Eddie VanWinkle a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
|. |. VGnwinkle, was drowned last Sunday
in Big Creek while bathing with four of
his companions. His parents live about
Two miles north of Dysart. He with other
bows was at the creek about two miles
north of his home. He could not swim
and one of his companions undertook to
swim the creek with Eddie on his back,
he became frightened and they were all
unable to save him. The stream was
very high with current swift and strong.
1t was but few minutes until crowds of
people had gathered upon the banks oil
the stream to search for the drowned
boy. Diligent search was made for
him till about one o'clock at night
Git was three o'clock in the afternoon he
was drowned, the moon went down rem
dering it impossible to hunt for him any
longer. At the break of day the next
morning the people began.to gather upon
the banks of the stream to renew the
search for the boy, and every visible
means thought of was procured to find
him, and one o'clock came and so far the
search had been fruitless. II was pro-
posed to try firing off an anvil; they were
speedily procured and fired from a boat
over the water where he was last seen.
About four o'clock the body was discov-
cred floating about fifty rods below where
he had drowned, the anvil unquestiona-
bly, had raised him. He was taken home
to his parents. His was sixteen years OF
age, all intelligent and industrious youth,
and was highly respected by those who
knew him. He was much beloved by his
parents, brother and sisters, and they
mourn their loss deeply. The funeral
services were preached at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday by Rev. VIM. Hughs, OF Vinton,
after which the corpse was taken to the
cemetery near by, where it was inferred
while multitude of people stood BY IN
sympathy with the bcreaved parents.
His mother and a sister Mrs. A. Ranston,
have been invalids for some time and the
terrible shock will be hard for them to
endure. They deserve the sympathy OF
the people ard the prayers of all chris
tians.

VI. c. Walters Grocery Store.

w. c. Walters has we suppose, the
largest exclusive grocery store in Toledos
and one of the largest in Tama County.
He commenced business in Toledo years
ago, buying out a Mr.. QuintaYd in the fall
of 1865. His store was then in the build
ing now occupied by the Post-Oifice He
paid the large sum of $3.50 for the entire
stock in trade! In February, 1868, he
went into the room now occupied by him
and has been there ever since. The room
is 22X45 feet with an addition Of Is feet
in the rear and basement under all, and
almost every inch CT available space is
occupied by his large and varied stock
of groceries, crockery, qucensware, glass
ware, &C., &c. He has also for the con-
vcn!ence of his customers recently added
an assortment of the most commonly call
ed for articles of tinWare, sucn as cups,
clippers, milk pans, stew pans, &c. Mr..
Walters also handles coal, lime, cement
and salt, extensively. He always aims to
keep good assortment of everything in
his line, and by selling at low profits and
fair dealing has built up ID large and grow
ing trade, He has good customers from
near other towns especially Traer and
Tama City, in fact some of his best Gus
torers are living but short distance from
Tracr. Just now and for the past few
days lie has been selling large bills of
groceries to many of our largest and best
farmers to carry them through harvest,
and Il person who had not thought of the
matter would be surprised at the large
amount of groceries sold from this one
store in the course of year. He very
often sells in one day as much as his en-
tire stock cost when he went into bust
ness years ago. Selling in large amounts
he is enabled to always keep fresh stock
and at the same time sell at low rates.
