Love and Death.

Lille may hold sweetness yet would not die:
For he might come with smiles upon his lips;
Then from my heart the weary years would slip
And should greet him with joyous cry,
Forgiving and forgetting all the past,
Just for the sake Of love come back at last.
Oh, life may yet be sweet; lwould not die.
Child, fate has not been kind to you and me;
Your baby kisses could not ease my pain;
While in that other face looked in vain
For signs of what knew could never be.
Often drew away your clinging grasp,
To seek again that cold and careless clasp.
No; life has not been kind to you and me.
And death is coming. All, will Death be kind2
win he some day bring me my truant love?
Or shall float in ether pure above,
Passionless, sexless and not hope to find
Him who made life blessing and a curse?
win Death bring better happier times OF worse
All, Death is coming fast; viii he be so kind?
Love, have you never known one bitter hour?
Never looked back with tender, sweet regret
To that pasi happy summer when we met,
When first knew my beauty--fatal dower!--
Had chained your roaming fancy2 What
Chainl
Woven il madness from despair and pain,
And idly worn to kill and idle hour
Child, listen to me: Love is worse than Death; ;
For Death takes ALL but Love takes fruit an
bloom,
And leaves the worthless husk to rot in gloon
II takes the crown from life; the weary breath
Must labor on till Death brings relief
And blots out all the WEAKNESS and grief,
An Love Is cruel; merciful is Death.

Cranberry Iron Mines.
Wilmington (N. c. Star.

Gen. Il. F. Hoke, who is not un-
known to our older citizens, having
made gallant defence of Whining
ton during the memorable campaign |
below this city in the early days Of
1865, met a number Of our prominent
business men at the rooms of the Pro-
duce Exchange yesterday to talk to
them about different matter. His
object now is to get our people to
arouse themselves to realization OF
the Importance of a connection by the
Carolina Central Railroad with the
Cranberry Iron Mines, in the Western
part of the State. He said Gran
berry was anxious for an outlet at
Wilmington and then he went on to
show what great advantage it would
be to Wilmington. The one thousand
tons of ore per day would not only
give work for the road it would be
the basis for other freight, to say moth
ing of the inxeaustible supplies of coal
a few miles FROM Cranberry Forge, to
which it is purposed to extend the
road, and the consequent connection
with Cincinnati and other points III the
West, which would find, through this
road to Wilmington, a nearer outlet
by pchaps two hundred miles than at
any other point on the Atlantic coast.
He said those interested in the mines
had been struggling for long time
with the Legislature at its late session
to put things in the right shape to
bring about the desired result. He
said he didn't want the people of Will
mington to do anything now. He
simply wanted them to take the matter
into consideration, so they could act
intelligently when the time came for
action. Col. Robinson had promised
to put down the iron and furnish the
rolling stock for the extension and
take pay for the same in stock; he
being allowed to operate the road, as a
matter OF course.
The distance from Lincolnton, on
the Carolina Central, to Cranberry
Forge is about Is miles, being less
than to Shelby. 1t is proposed to
make the connection from Lincolnton
The counties interested on this side oil
the North Carolina Railroad would
build the road as far as Morganton
and it is for the remainder of the route
from Morganton to Cranberry, which
is through poor country that assis
tance will be needed but it will not be
asked for until there is a ample assur
ance that the other part of the roaC
will be built. The distance from Lin
colnton to Morganton is about thirty
five miles and from Morganton to Gran
berry about forty miles. There viii
be opposition lines when the road il
completed, but all the advantages
including grades, would be in favor O
the route to Wilmington.
G Gen. Hoke had the necessay maps
r. and traced out the different lines s,

Of her friends questioned the wisdom

be the wife OF her cousin Victor, to
whom she had been betrothed almost
from her cradle.
And besides this, between her and
all care regarding the mills stood her
foreman, Stephen Walker, the strong,
calm man whom the men both loved
and feared, and whose father had been
foreman there before him.
And though the marriage had been
delayed from time to time, and Victor
had spent most OF the two years since
she reached her majority wandering
over Europe, she had never known the
responsibility Of her position until this
autumn day, when she sat amid the
rich surroundings of her library, her
self the fairest object there, bending
YEARLY over the long columns of fig

Of her business.

and determination in every line of his
face.

William Y. Campcll of Sneedvillc Hancock
county tennessee, was born July 18th 1S45 died

OF the late rebellion broke out the deceased af-
ter making his way through the confederate
lines to Camp Nelson, KY, enlisted In the Sth
Tenn. Cav. Vol, and although quite young serv-
ed his country bravely and faithfully until peace
was again restored. 1t was in this capacity that
he contracted bowel and liver trouble that
became chronic and resulted in his death.
In 1867 the deceased pr0fessed faith in Christ,
Joined the M, Z. Church and for few years
lived a consistant christian. But like many
others as he began to accumulate property his
mind became engrossed with worldly affairs
ana caused him to grow negligent OF his chris
tlan duties until few months before his death
when he again received bright evidence of his
acceptance with the Saviour and delighted to
TO talk OF his prospects Of a brighter and better
world beyond. He seemed TO want to live only
Tor the purpose OF serving his Master more faith.

er christian record behind him. That he was
strictly honest no one can doubt who knew him.
AS 10 ms charity and sympathy with the poor
all VINO knew him can testify. In fact to know
MIN well was to love him and admire his many
noble traits OF character. In the year 1870 the
deceased was elected to the Office of Circuit
Court Clerk in Hancock county and reelected
to the same office in 1874. But owing TO his de
clining health he had to employ deputy and
abandon the duties of his office before the ex
piration of his last term. His marriage with
Miss Lizzie Harrison was consummated on ths
Both day OF Nov 1873. She made him a tender
loving and faithful wife. Beside his wife, h,
leaves father mother five brothers, two sis
ters, and host Of friends to mourn his death
But we are truly thankful to know that our los

nal gain. His remains now rest upon an eleva
ted spot on his own farm and over looks tn,
quiet little village of sneedville.

Which goes not down behind the edarkened west
Nor hides obscured in the tempest of the sky
But melts away in the sunlight OF Heyen."
