DIED.

BAss-Tn Chowan Co. N. C. Sept.
27th, 1886, God in his all wise provi-
dence saw fit to call one of his lambs
home. He sent his minis ering
angel to Rosa Bars, daughter of
Horatio and Bette Bass, aged IS
years and eleven months. He laid
his icy fingers upon her form and
Rosa is no more. She was a consis-
tent member of the Baptist church
at Rocky Hook, f,ithfuI daughter,
o kind and loving sister. None
knew her but to love her. Her
sickness lasted for only few days,
when she yielded to omnipotence and
went to rest. She leaves a kind
mother, two sisters and brother to
mourn her loss, yet they do not
mourn as those who have no hope.
Hers was a meek, gentle and chris
cain spirit that endeared her to 90
many. All! how We will miss her in
our church and Sunday school.
No more will we hear her sing on
earth; she has left US and joined the
heavenly choir. Earth has lost one
Of its jewels but Heaven is richer.
A FRIEND.

Among the many questions OF

Of the Common Prayer, the status

shall trust to the wisdom of the coun
Gil, controlled by the grace of the
Great Head of the Church, for a
safe conclusion in all these matters.

CONVICTED AND SENTENCED.

It has been announced by the
ofthe country that Boyle,
the Roman catholic .preist, OF Raj

member of his church, has been con-

trial by jury of his countrimen, of
the offence and sentenced 10 be
hanged On the a6th, day Of Novem-
Der. An appeal has been prayed
and granted but, to what serious
intent, except to procure delay ere
he shah justly expiate his most dam
ming offence, we cannot tell.
A strong defense was made in his
behalf by most learned council but,
the evidence was too overpowering,
the circumstances too corroborative
and the crime too certainly proved.
His own speech, which he was allow
ed to make before sentence was an
nounced, condemned him. The
News and Observer says He arose

methods of the prosecution. He

and expected to do so when he felt
like it.
Boyle was appiauded several
times during his remarks.
In referring to Solicitor Argo he
said that he had been perfectly fair

The News and Observer of the 9Th,
says Father Boyle; although senten-

then. The appeal from the fourth
district will come up TWO weeks from

Ho,v Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward of the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes inev-
table. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body sufiices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weakened
Lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble Of the Throat or Lungs, give
that old and well known remedy-Bo,chee's
German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands say of ir to be, the
"benefactor of any home"

BAD PLAN.
An Asking Price.
A Taking Price.

The plan of store keepers having an asking
price and a taking price for goods, charging one
more than another and not refusing reasUna'
Die oier is bad plan for buyers. The store
keeper alone knows the lowest price at which
he can sell his goods. Buyers never get them
for less aud often pay more. This plan is JUS
titled on the ground that some people won't
buy unless they get something knocked off OF
thrown in, and some will only only buy where
they can get c.edit, some never pay and that
must be made up by charging more to those
who DO pay,
Our one-prlce cash plan avoids all such
methods. it marks in plain figures the lowest
cash price on every article offered and nothing
less can buy it, On every article the buyer
gets the advantage of the discounts we make
in buying for cash and the expenses and losses
saved in not selling on credit. The saving on
these two items being a satisfactory profit in a
live business and accounts for some merchants
saying we are selling at cost.
