DEATHS.

Died, at Waverly, August 18th, infant
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. N. p. Puck.
Died, near this city, August 8, infant
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Louie Weis.
The body of Mrs. s. X. HASTE, who died
in Massachusetts Monday, while on a visit
to relatives, was to have been buried here
at @ O'Clock last evening. Mrs. Hastie was
the mother of the late Mrs. w. H. Silver.
Rev. H.. A. Duboc, rector of Christ church,
was to hav conducted the services.
Died, on the morning of August 18th,
1891, in the 32d year OF her age, Mrs. Kate
Royle, beloved wife of Charles Royle.
"Death," it is said, gloves a shining
mark" and in vain did love labor with
tender watchfulness to shield her young
life from his fatal selection. He came
with stealthy tread and ominous solem-
nifty. He cam with hating pace, but
with memorable will, and set the seal OF
victory on her pale brow. Stand aside,
oh! y~earning, weeping husband, parents
md friends; stand aside, oh! wise physi-
clan. The King of Kings has sent n sum-
mons for this bright gem to be placed in
his crown of immortality, there to shine
with luster eternal.
But oh! the agony of the hour OF death!
Oh! the Juggling of strained heart strings,
and the unfathomable depths of misery
and suffering and woe that come to the
hearts of the bereaved. How bitter to say
in sincerity and truth, '"Thy will, not
mine, o God, be done!" Oh! for som,
blest nepenthe to give peace to the agon'
lied soul! Obi for some sweet Oblivion
to steep the mind in forgetfulness! Oh
for some silent Lethe in whose deep-fiow
ing waters surcease of sorrow could b
found.
How oft hath"Hope stood beside he
bed when the shadows of evening grey
long upon the green sward, and the stars
one by one, glittered from out thei
ethereal setting, and whispered, "ro-mor
row she may be better!"
And how expectation and anticipation
would outstrip time and picture the da,
when the rosy finger of health wOul
again paint the cheeks, when h light O
returning strength would brighten tn
dropping eyes, when vigor would re
habiiitate the shrunken frame and the oil
old time would come back again!
When u loved II has lain long in sui
fering agony, and death is inevitable, pit,
for the sufferer for the moment blunt
the poignancy of grief, but not Tor long
There was Il voice that is no longer heard
There was a greeting, but it no lOnge
brightens the sunlight of home. Their
was a presence, dearer than life, that i
no more. There is Il vacant chair Mt tn
table. There is II shadow ut noontlde,
stygian gloom at night.
But there is Il future. There Is "A III
beyond the stars. Beyond the valley G
the shadow there is the plain. Beyond TN
clouds there is the sunshine. Beyond III
portals of death are the realms OF u bette
life, a world where peace and joy and low
abideth forever; and the true ChrlStla
may not mourn the departed al dead an
lost, but only as n who has gone before

from Ray county.
CONFEDERATE HOME ENTERTAINMENT.
The ladies of the Auxiliary met in the
Y. M. & A. rooms ut 2 o'clock Wednes day.
The committee reports for the supper
Were full and satisfactory.
The report of the committee of manage
ment for the musical entertainment was
that The effort will have to he abandoncd
because OF the unwillingness OF amajority
OF the twenty-five young ladies and gen
tlcmen needed to carry it forward To give
it their time and interest.
The committee of one, Mrs. W. G. Me
Causllnd, said, at is with regret and
modification that make this report.
Now when the youth elsewhere in the
state are gladly giving their time and
talents To this cause and feeling it to be u
privilege to do SO il seems ineXplicable
that our girls and boys should be indiffer-
ent under an appeal made to their nobler
natures. | cannot stand before you with
out Il blush of shame or say that | have
failed because our rehearsals have cOn
ticted with the daily routine life of buggy
drives, moonlight strOlls and weekly club
entertainments. | refuse to say tn you
that this represents II frivolous lightness
in the conduct ol my majority of the
twenty-five. Rather, | taxi the other
horn of the dilemma and ask you tn be-
lieve that this failure is due to the per
sonal unpopularity OF your committee of
one. But there is Il very refreshing and
tower-scented oasis in this desert.
There are thirteen persons who have
stood by the cause and your committee,
and are standing there yet if need be.
"These deserve our grateful remem-
brance and | am sure that whenever l shall
think of this the most admirable strength
and kindness of Mr.. Burden and Mr.. Chiles
and the fine and delicate consideration of
Misses Laura Andrew, Annie Chew, Mabel
Slayback, Georgia Gilkerson Carrie Brad
ley, Lizzie Smith, Minnie Neale, Virginia
Wilson, Locke Arnold and Mrs. f. b.
Farley, these as l have said will always
come before me heralded by a kind OF
radiance whenever l shall recall this, to
me, phenomenal experience"
Executive committees were then APP
pointed for Friday and the Auxiliary ad
journed to meet on Wednesday next at 8
O'Clock.

Just where the metal OF which this gun

DAMS PREDICAMENT.

Deputy Sheriff Dan Wade went to the
Chapel Hill neighborhood last week, to
serve some papers, and as he returned met
with an accident which caused him to take
q bath against his will. He was driving Il
horse to a road cart, and when he reached
the ford on the Sni near Reuben Lytton's
farm, he started fearlessly across, as he
had done ndr OF times before, he
said. The water Was deeper than he eX-
pected to find it, and to save himself from
getting wet, mounted the horses back. In
mid stream the animal had to swim,
and Dan was unseated. He found a depth
of water OF about five feet, and managed to
wade to the opposite shore. The horse,
instead of coming as the driver had,
turned and left the water at the starting
point. There was nothing for the officer
then but to wade across again and capture
his recalcitrant steed. Securing the horse
and cart, he succeeded in reaching Martin
Welsh's, where he was furnished accom-
dation for the night and change OF cloth
ing while he dried his own.
Now Dan is Il good big fellow, and Mar
tin several sizes smaller. Dan could don
and he says they gave him the feeling and
appearance of wearing boys knee pants.
A seam gave way just where seams should
be strongest, and he had to patch the
aperture with Il pocket handkerchief
Martins Undertaking was all in the
wash, but the doughty prison keeper
didn't mind that ut night, and his own
would be dry in the morning.
But the worst of it all WAS, n the most
narrowing in the telling. Dams shoes
were soaking wet, and Martins were too,
too small. What should he q What did
he do? The lNrELLIdENCER recognizes
that even deputy sheriffs nave feelings
and suppresses the story at this point.
Suffice To say, Dan reached home in time,
carrying all his clothes he could not
properly wear.

There was II big boom i'll wheat Tues
day, the price advancing 4 cents. On
Wednesday there was another advance
and three cents higher was reached. Then
there was II slump of two cents and the
cereal rested. Rye also had an inning and
an advance of five cents was made. Corn
was uncertain and live stock went through
without any important change.
The advance in wheat was evidently the
result of bull reports from Europe, which
