IT'S hard, sweet pet, to let thee GO
And ne'er again to see thee here,
The little one we fondled so
And planned for in EACH coming year.
How void the place that she did fill,
How ache the heal is that loved so we'll !;
How lonely, oh, how deathly still,
Where once her pattering footsteps fell.
How like the sleep you oft have slept,
As fondled on a mothers breast
She lulled when evenings shadows crept
And laid thee sweetly down to rest.
Death and life; how strangely lear,
And yet how hard to realize.
But yesterday a dweller here,
To-day Il dweller in the skies.
Gods will be done, though grief Cypress
Our hearts now broken, sad and sore,-

Samuel Simpson (cOlOred), aud several
others determined not to allow them to

met by Thomas Webb and Nat. Langston,
TWO Young colored men, who were firing
pistols In the road. Langston fired
his pistol off, when a constable, who
was in the conveyance, and several Others,
attempted to arrest him. Webb came to
Langston's rescue, and finding that the ar
rest might cause bloodshed. 1t was not
made, and the party left the scene. Webb

This District.

The signs Of the times are propitious.
The Democrats OF this congressional dis
trict Will reflect GEORGE ID. WISE to the
position he has so well filed. The people
know faithful public servant when they
have one. There is, however, a sort OF
apathy peryading the masses which 1t seems
difficult 10 get rid OF. Let this not be the
case hereafter. There Is no good reason
why GEORGE ID. WISE should not receive
larger majority this year than he did two
years ago.
Go to work. Our city Democrats have
become aroused, and call upon their allies
in the several counties to come up to their
help. Hold meetings, make speeches, talk
politics, and let the voters see that you are
in earnest. So shall victory once more
crown our efforts.

A Card from the President or the Dur
ham, Blue wing and CiarksSiiie
Railroad Company.
GAINESVILLE, October ID, 1886

GAINESVILLE, OCTOBER ID, 1850.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Allow me 10 correct one or two errors
fallen into Cunintentionally no doubt by
nv friend Of The Banner Of Truth In his
leader of the 9Th on the railroad from
Clarksyille TO Durham, and published in
your issue Of the 18th. lie says: "To eX-
rend the road to Durham by way OF Blue
wing from Clarksville would be rainbo W.
inc around too near the Danville road;
that Blue Wing is only sixteen miles from
south Boston, and by examining the map
n will be seen that the most direct route TO
richmond from Durham would be by the
way of Oxford" The Banner OF Truth ey.
amiped small school atlas (perhaps with
out spectacles), from which he drew his
conclusion, and which did not have Blue
Wing on It IL he will examine large
map OF North Carolina he will find
that the "rainbowing" is by way
Of oxford, and at that point you
are within twelve miles OF the Raleigh
and CASTOR railroad by rail to Henderson,
giving equal facilities to Norfolk and Balti-
more that Richmond would enjoy; and by
that route YOU would miss the rich mineral
belt through which the Blue Wing road
would pass for twenty miles, also abandon
all the trade OF Halifax county bordering
on North Carolina and the rich counties OF
Person and West Granville for all time to
the Lynchhurg ard Durham road. The
difference in distance by the two routes Is
insignificant-ie rhaps not more than two or
three miles in favor Of the blue Wing. In
| the location Of our line we expect to re.
| duce the distance several miles under sixty
having already gained two over county
| road on survey OF twenty-five miles.
| Blue Wing Is eighteen miles from South
Boston instead OF sixteen, as stated. Pre-.
! paration has been made for working the
| copper.mines on an extensive scale, as IL
| has been thoroughly demonstrated that
there are many millions OF tons Of rich ore
Three companies Me now at work. thirty
tons OF coal and coke will be required daily
| 10 run the smelter. In few years ih,
tonnage from these mines alone will be sui

The aid we ask from Richmond the road

the suggestion that there were too

up all the crops. Then up rose an
