OBITUARY.
FOWLER BRADFORD.

The funeral of MT Fowler Bradford, notice of whose death was given in the last issue of THE NEWS, was largely at tended at his late residence in Cornwall Hollow on Tuesday, May 26, at 2 P. M., Rev W. H. McDougall of North Corn wall officiating, assisted by the Rev MT Ganung of Cornwall Hollow.
 MT Bradford died in the old home stead where he was born in the year 1S01.' He was direct descendant of Gov William Bradford of Mayfower fame, but has left behind what IS still better, the record of pure and noble life.
 Of his fathers family three sisters survive, one of whom is Mrs Mary Mil lard, mother of Mrs P. c. Cummings of North Canaan. He leaves an aged and feeble widow, with whom he had lived ! in perfect love and harmony for more than 50 years, three sons, two of whom are at the old homestead, the other 8 prosperous merchant in Thomaston, Conn.,, and an only daughter in feeble ! health, on whom this affliction falls with all its crushing power.
 A devoted husband, an indulgent father, kind neighbor, a true friend, many will mourn his death, many will miss the kindly hospitality so generous ly extended to all. A great sufferer for the last seven years, his last hours were peaceful, perfectly free from all pain. He lay down "like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams" Those who looked upon his peaceful and smiling face, beautiful in death, could but feel that ere his spirit left its clay he beheld the glories of heaven and heard the songs of the redeemed around the throne. He is not lost but gone before.

 CAROLINA.
Ely ReV William H. Ellis
I. HOW IT BEGAN.


 Over 30 years ago negro boy was born on North Carolina plantation and named Islay Eyeslay). He was sold four times in his mothers arms and finally brought to Montgomery county. As he grew up, though he might not read, he was quick at figures and at re- beating sermons and speeches. Many bets were made on his ability to solve problems and his master found 1t profit able to exhibit him for that purpose. When he was grown he was placed in a gold mine. One day his master rode by and said, "Islay, the war is over; you are free" Islay jumped as high as a table for joy. His first thought was to go North, get an education and come back to preach. North he started in falling snow, froze his feet and was laid up while in Richmond hospital. On he trudged again and reached Washing ton. Here he sawed wood and sold original ballads, attended school little and taught in several Sunday schools Not learning as fast as he liked, another tramp brought him to New Brunswick, N. J., where the Reformed church as- sisted him and he secured far educa- tion with theological course. Also he secured the favor of fine young lady who afterwards proved a most efficient help in his work.
 He returned to North Carolina, but we are in doubt whether he patronized the railroad or used a Pauline convey ance; at any rate, he suddenly appeared to his former friends. He labored long and earnestly in Troy, N. C., to estab. fish school and Congregational church, but the people didn't see the need of schools and preferred the old way of worship to anything he could show them. He departed to Johnson's, in Randolph county, and organized g church, but as he could not do all al once, the people became discouraged and dropped of. Then he went to the mountain top at a place called nov Striely, organized church, took hi: axe into the woods, bought yoke O. oxen to haul logs, as we'll as farm fol church lot, as he could not buy { smaller one. In five years, with the ait of the American Missionary association he had neat frame church, a goot house and housekeerer and Is families settled close by the church, two brancl churches and considerable property All this was done in spite of serious op position. But his labors were too SC were and he passed away year ago. Four years ago he organized tn , churches of Troy and Pekin, to which : was appointed and ordained as pastor o both. Pekin is in the south part o Montgomery county, and when you ar there you will be apt to ask the way t , Pekin. For this reason it was name, 1 Pekin because it so closely resemble, the city then said to be the greatest i
 the world. People are plenty enoug in the neighborhood and some are quit well off In our next we will speak 0 the church there. ..
