W. l.. FERGUSON, Sec'y.


Again by request of friends and rela-
tives | am called upon to chronicle the
death Of n whose many industrious
habits are yet as fresh in our memory as
though no grs at chasm separates the dead
from the living. AS the last lingering
beams of the sitting sun were gathering
around the once happy home of George
W. Taylor and Willie A. Taylor, on the
9Th day of July, 1889, the gentle spirit of
George W. Taylor was lulled to rest in
that blessed sleep which frees us from all
earthly trials and sorrows, s~urroundedIby
dear aged mother, devoted wife, loving
child, kind sisters and brothers with many
true friends. George w. Taylor was the
son of Theophlus and Miley Taylor. He
was born June the Sd, 1855, making his
earthly existence thirty-four years, l
month and 5 days. George was a smart
and dutiful sou to his kind parents, and
at the age of u he was married to Willie
A. Ray, and a more suitable and faithful
companion she could not have found, for
in prosperity or adversely, joy or sorrow,
trial or what ever might come to her, he
bore his part well, and was always to her
true and faithful, so selfsacrifcing that
almost his entire time was spent at home
with his wife and little ones. He was a
man of high and noble quality; was much
beloved and respected by all who knew
him, but those who knew him best loved
him most. His Upright work and faith
full zeal was an example for every one.
He was a great sufferer while in sickness,
living nearly three weeks after being
taken. He died of bilious disentery: He
left one child to mourn the loss of a de-

At Rowland, N. c., June 4th, 1889,
Cora Isabel, youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. A. Lertch, aged eleven months
and four days.
Our dear baby has been taken away
from earth, but we know that she IS with
her blessed Saviour, and we would not
call her back to this world of sin and sor-
row. May God comfort the grief stricken
family who so deeply o. their loss
your little one is now among the ran
somed throng that sing around the throne
of God.
Since Cora went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The long days fill so much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear.
Since Cora went home.
Since Cora went nome
The robins note has touched a minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since Cora went home.
Since Cora went home
How still the empty room her presence blessed;
Untouched the pillow that her dear head pressed;
My lonely heart has nowhere for its rest,
Since Core went home.
Since Cora went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts and
fears.
The dark nights have rain ed in lonely tears,
Since Cora went home.

Code of Civil Procedure, Overruled Cases"
&C., writes:
Ihave examined with much care and in

and Business Men will find in a compiled
form. ready to hand much seryiceable 1nfor-
nation that cannot be found anywhere else
without considerable labor and research. 1t

a large sale.
M. B. Barbee, Esq, one of the leading JUS
tees of the Peace in North Carolina, says:
I find in The North Carolina Manual OF Law
and Forms a work more thoroughly adapted to
the needs of Justices of the Peace, to guide
them in their official duties, han any work
yet seen by me. | take pleasure IN recon-
mending it to the Magistrates OF the State.
C. D. Upchurch, Clerk of Superior Court of
Wake county, writes: -
In it are more statutes, forms and decisions
relating to the duties of county officers, and
especially to clerks of the Superior Courts,
than I have been able to find In any other
book. No county officer ought to be without
such an excellent aid.

Papa and mamma had gone to the
Fair, but the twins, Hop and Skip,
couldn't go, because they had whoop-
ing-cough. OF course there real names
weren't Hop and Skip; they were
Florinda and Florella, but nobody ever
called them by those names.
Bring us something!" shouted Hop
from the back gate, as the team drove
off.
Bring us something!" called Skip
from the front gate, as it came by there.
Mamma nodded and smiled, and was
soon lost to sight in cloud of dust.
1t was an awful long day, with nobody
at home but Nancy and the cat; but
night brought papa and mamma, and'
oh Joy two little balloons, q red one TOR
Hop, and blue one for Skip!
They played with them all evening"
till they were too sleepy for anything
Then each tied the string of her balloon
to her own high-chair in the dlnlns-
room, where they foated beautifully
and then the twins went to bed.
In the middle of the night, when the
house was all still hut the clock, there
was sharp bang! 1t woke papa ana
mamma, and it even woke Nancy In tne

Manners at Table.

The time for acquiring good table
manners is during childhood and at
home. Years at boarding schools, hours
spent over books of social etiquette,
may efface vulgar habits, but can never
give the ease and grace acquired in
childhood at well-ordered table, saws
writer in the american Agricult,.r-
list. A child who is almost baby can
be taught to handle his knife and fork,
or spoon, if he is too young for those
more advanced implements, with u
daintiness that will offend no one.
Where there are children. it is not a
good plan to have a wide difference be-
tween your everyday and company
china, silver, and napery. There is too
apt to be wide difference, also, be-
tween everyday and company manners.
Let each child have his cover as nicely
laid with plate, knife and fork, spoon,
napkin, and glass as his elders, and re
member that he will be sure to note
your own use of these articles. Teach
him to say "thank you," and "please, .
and if he is allow ed to leave the table
before the meal is ended, let him learn
to say "excuse me-" We were very
much amused at a baby of four summers
who recently dined at our table. The
meal, interspersed with interesting con-
versation, was tedious to his infant ap.
petite and intellect, and finally the lit
tie man spoke up with: "NIay I be ex-
cused, please? 1 have enjoyed my din

table-not his father remarked that
that boy bid fair to be "the finest gen.
tleman in America"
