After my long illness last fall,
my physicians, as also friends in

ed me not to resign my Office hop
ing that, with care during the win
ter. l would be able to resume the
duties in the spring. Whilst held
a long term of Court in this place
In February without inconvenience
yet the nature of my complaint
continues such as to render long
Journeys over rough roads and in
bad weather hazardous. For that
reason have determined to re-
sign my office Of Judge Of the 18th
Judicial Circuit, and have so in.
formed Gov. Fleming-the resig-
nation to take effect from the goth
of this month.
This is done that he may have
time to select my successor, and
you time to make your wishes
kncwn to him.
In sevcring the relation that has
so long subsisted between us, l de-
sire to express my high arprccia-
ton of the confidence reposed in
me and of the kindness and respect
with which have been SO general
ly treated by you, by the officers of

Tho news of Granville Harper's
dangerous illness last week sent o
pang OF sadness to many hearts in
this community, and the thought
of him being taken from the work
that had just opened up to him and
IN which he was 80 earnestly and
zealously engaged seemed all shroud-
ed In mystery, for in the FIVE short
years that he has been believer in
the Lord Jesus Christ his one aim,
desire and thought has been call
for Christ" Every effort was put
forth to help others to journey in
the same path. We doubt if any
one ever made more careful use OF
every opportunity to warn his fell
low-travelers than did he. In the
store, in the street, in the work.
shop, on the rapidly rushing cars,
anywhere, everywhere it was his rul.
ing thought. He felt that time was
short and he believed in making
every day count for Jesus. When
on his commercial travelling he
would make a point Of reaching
some place where he knew the
weekly prayermeeting would be
held or religious service OF some
kind, it mattered not TO him what
church, il it was the people Of God
he loved to meet with them. Pray
ermeetings were his delight. In
his death his friends have album
dant consolation and rich evidence
that his purified spirit now rests in
the bosom Of his Saviour where
congregations ne'or break up and
Sabbaths have no end. at is we'll

him at the last said it was a most
triumphant death, with eyes illu-
mined as the gates Of the Heavenly

A Sad Accident.

A very sad accident occurred
near Norfolk, Virginia, on March
2lst, when the little four-year old
daughter of Mr.. Z. Bonney grand
daughter Of Mrs. Bonney in our
town. was burned so severely that
she only lived few hours. No
ore but younger child was in the
room when her clothes caught fire
and the mother supposes the little
thing stood too close to the fire /;
she had been out at play and told
her mother her hands were cold
and was told to 60 to the fire, the
mother intending to follow in q
moment but before she got in the
child screamed and she found her
clothes all in a blaze. Her flesh
was terribly burned. She was sal d
to be an unusually smart and good
child. To make it all the more
painful the father was away from
home at the time.
