Death OF the First Child" born
In JoncsbOrOugh.
A Pioucer Gone.

The Memphis papers of recent date
contain accounts Of the life of Gen. J.,
G. n. Robertson who died at Iernado,
Miss, last Thursday. He is said to have
been the first child born at Joncsboro,
the Oldest town in the State, though this
can hardly be true, for he was born In
1892, while Joncsboro was made the
county seat Of Washington by act Of
the North Carolina Legislature in 1889,
and we know that the early settlers were
not in the habit Of waiting three years
for population, still it is possible.--Nesh-

hyd with them young babe, sweet-look-
Ing child. The wife made some Inquiries
as to a place where she might leave her
child while she and her husband made a
trip TO Norfolk and Chesapeake bay for a
month. She found colored woman living
la two.room hovel in an alley Just north
OF Pennsylvania avenue, running from
Third TO Four.and-a-half street. In this
house there dwelt several grown co!ored
people and four or i've children, the house
having an atmosphere In which no babe
could be reared In health.
Lieutenant Eckloff, In charge OF police
Headquarters, protested against the child
being left at this house, and the colored
woman promised him not TO receive 1t. But
I'm n short time he learned that the husband
and wife were gone of, and that The babe
was suffering from cholera.iniantum at the
boyel where Il had been left. II received
the care OF a good physician In vain. Its
parents returned to-day, and this afternoon
