A GOOD MAN GONE TO HIS RE-
WARD.
Death of Capt. James Simmons, Hall
fax COunty's Oldest Citizen.

Death of Capt. James Simmons, Hall
fax County's Oldest Citizen.
The Weldon Ners of last week
chronicles the death of the vener able
and esteemed gentleman whose name
appears above. He died at the home
of his son Mr. J. G. Simmons, few
miles from that town, on the night OF
the 18th inst, in the 92nd y ar Of his
age. The News says:
Until few months ago Capt. Sim
mons retained his vitality to a remaka-
BILE degree. but since the spring had
become almost helpless from age. He
was blind also. But Notwithstanding
these Affections he maintained his usual
cheerfulness and was the life of every
gathering at which he was present.
His heart was always young and young
people always delighted to be with
him because he was always kind, gentle,
full of the spirit of charity, never think
ing harshly of any one because he was
himself without guile.
capt. simmons was at one tllne very
prominent in the public affairs of this
county and was sheriff for many years,
during which time he conducted the
business of the office impartially and
never was ought said derogatory to
his official or political conduct even by
his political opponents. So great was
his popularity that he could have had
anything in the gift Of the people. and
this popularity he retained till the end
of his life.
But the most beautiful features of
his admirable character was his i'm
plicit faith and trust in his Redeemer.
Through all the changes and chances
of this mortal life he was ever the same
cheerful. trusting. faithful follower Of
the Master, and this faith never left
him even in the dark hours which doubt
less came to him as they do at times to
every human being. His pure and
blameless life was an ensample for all
to emulate. His piety was without
austerity. his religion without pretense,
his life sermon. His end was pain
less and he died as peacefully as one
takes rest from labor in sleep.

BALTIMORE, Nov. II, 1891.
Col. w. H. S. BURGwYN, Hender-
son, n. c.:
Mv Dear Sir.-The committee of
business men in Baltimore who raised
the money to send the Fifth Regiment,
and went with it, all returned safe and
we'll. We were all delighted with our
trip, and will never forget the over-
whelming kindness Of all, and especially
with your elegant breakfast. We all
of course regretted very much, your in
ability to be present. Some officers of
the command were fortunate enough
to know you. Those who did not have
that honor and pleasure were especially
and peculiarly unfortunate in not meet
ing you. The Regimental officers, bus
mess men and all, agree in one opinion:
That they all had royal good time,
State; that her citizens are the best in

IN MEMORIAM.
% He giveth His beloved sleep"

On Thursday evening we laid to rest
in Elmwood Cemetery, the mortal re-
mains of Zene Lassiter, the cherished
child of the church. the pride and darling
of her school. the idol of her home. As
she lay in her velvet casket, in all the
matchless stiffness of death, one who bad
watched the frail young life with tender
est care cried in her anguish. II would
have gone with you, my baby, through
the dark valley'-but we knew that the
tender Shepherds arms EMBODIED her.
that His loving voice whispered. Il am
with thee, for the peace that passeth
understanding rested upon the pale
brow, the tired eyelids We're closed in soft
est slumber, the lovely waxen hands were
folded in repose, the sweet lips had muir
INJURED, . | am not afraid to die Never
to me appeared death so beautiful The
inanimate form seemed to have caught
the radiance of the celestial spirit as it
scared to Paradise.
The disease that wasted her body and
caused her, at times, intense suffering.
touched not the mind which was devel-
Oped far beyond her years and grasped
without apparent effort every subject
that engaged its powers. To the last
hour of her life her attractive manners
and unusual intelligence charmed and
surprised all with whom she was brought
in contact. Reading was to her delight.
and every faculty was alive to the beau
tiful in nature and in art. But above all,
as the tender flower opens its petals to
the refreshing dew of Heaven, so her
young heart unfolded to the sweet story
Of the Cross, and at the early age of nine
years, she professed faith in her Savior
and was baptised by the pastor whom
she dearly loved, Rev. R. Van Deventer.
With fearful eyes and aching heart, |
write this tribute to thy memory, my
faithful little pupil, my loyal little friend
May we meet in the bright land of the
Hereafter, where no shadow falls and
where parting is unknown.
