Obituary.

Died. at his home in Davidson
county on the night of Jan. 9th, 1893,
Noah l.. Kimmel, son of the late ia
cob Kimmel aged 80 years and 10
months.
The deceased was man of noble
character, and was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. He was
warm-hearted, generous man, ever
ready to respond to the wants of his
friends. Possessing an amiable and
cheerful disposition, he always had a
word of cheer and encouragement for
the depressed.
He leaves a devoted wife, three
brothers and many relatives and
friends II mourn his death.
May God comfort their aching
hearts.
He was a Baptist in sentiment,
though not a member of the church,
and had accepted Christ in his youth
and died as he had lived-triumphan
in Him. Suffering with prolonged
disease, he was never heard to muir
muir or complain; and he m de known
to all the sweet assurance of his
Home he had prepared in Heaven.
What can SO comfort Il flail mortal
nearing death, and those that remain
on earth.
During his last days so intense
were his sufferings that many times
he prayed that the Lord might hasten
the summons that he might find
sweet rest. With warm gratitude he
remembered the many friends who adj
ministered so kind to his wants, and
especially the minister who visited
and offered so many faithful prayers
during his long sickdess, and request
ed that he should preach his funeral.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. James Hall to large congrega-
tion of Borrowing relatives and
friends. Amid the quietude of the
Sabbath his remains were laid to rest
IN New Friendship churchyard.
Sacred his name with shall live,
Through LONG sunceedipg.years;
Cherished his memory shall be,
Mingled with prayers andtears.

VIENNA, n. c., Feb. 6.-Our com
munity was shocked on the morning
of the 3rd inst. when the announce
ment was made that Mrs. Minerva S.
Doub was found dead in bed.
Mrs. Doub was the daughter of the
late John Dull, and was born on June
Z, 1926. and was married in 1917 to
Rev. John B. Doub, local minister of
the NJ. E. church. Mr. and Mrs.
Doub lived together in childless union
until July %. 1891, when her husband
died, since which time she has been
living alone.
She had been complaining for few
days, as was supposed, of heart
trouble: but on Thursday oflast week
felt some better than usual and con-
cluded to spend the night alone
Some time during the solemn stiffness
OF the night, with no one near, her
spirit took its flight into the great
unknown. She was laid to rest on
Sunday, the 9TH, at Doub's Chapel. by
the side of her beloved husband Rev.
A. w Craft diScourSing from Heb.
ID: s. Notwithstanding tie inclem-
ency of the weather large cuncourse
attended. bearing testimony to the
esteem in which she was held Nc
one more beloved or respected ever
lived or died in our midst. Truly. d
most exemplary christian woman is
gone.

WINSTON PLUCK.

The sweet tones of bell rang out
its mellow notes for the first time
yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing. Every resounding peal an
noanced to the Twin Cities of North
Carolina the accomplishment OF a
feat perhaps never before exampled
even in this city Of phenominal push
and energy. The answer to the fire.
quent inquiry as to what the bell vas
saying, was this: 1T is the new bell
in Abbott & ZONES warehouse.
Two months ago that ware
house had not been begun. A
little over two mouths ago tht,
idea OF the construction had not
entered the mind of any OF Wins
toms business men. But on the 14th
of November last came that fatal
fire which burned out two enterpris
ing new cemers among Winston S
warehouse men, Abbot & Jones,
formerly of Danvile, Va.
This firm had already arranged,
when the fire came, for the reception
ofan immense amount ofleaf on their
floors. What could they do? There
was only one other warehouse and
that was INADEQUATE. They attempt
ed to enlarge it to accommodate
their business, hut the city fathers
forbade because it was a fire trap.
Abbott & Jones were in still worse
predicament. They were discourag-
ed but they did not despair. In
Winston all things are possible. In
a short while the men were found in
the persons of the Tises, father and
son. who agreed to build d warehouse
which Abbott & Jones leased for ten
years before q shovel full OF earth
was removed or a b1ick laid The
building went on under difficulties.
Who but historians would ever
undertake the task of buittiing a
mammoth brick warehouse during
the winter months of December and
January? BUTT was done. Inspite
OF the coolest winter of a generation
past, it was done. The first brick
was laid on November 10Th, 1892,
and the last one-the last of $780,
COCOON January Goth, 1881 Com
pleted in fifty eight wintry days
How is that for hustling? The work
was pushed by day, and by night
rushed ahead by the aid of electric
lights. Today, February /, 1898,
the new bell in the new warehouse
called the buyers to the first sale
Long live Abbot & Jones! Long live
Salem builders. Long live
the nnterprising Winston warehouse
men! Long live Winston!

WINSTON FUTURE.

The thoughts that should be con-
stantly uppermost in the minds OF
the business men of Winston is, Is
Winston prospecting as it might?
Are we reaching out as we should
and might do for II, W territory to
make tributary to US, and to extend
our business and influence?
Winston ought to be not only the
ira ding centre for the entire Pied
mont section, but for practically all
of Western North Carolina. There
is no good reason why it should not
be. OF course our tobacco in its
various manufactured forms goes
into every nook and corner of North
Carolina and far beyond tie borders
of the State, but there are many
other lines of goods with which Win
ston might supply a large area of
trade.
In the matter of railroads we are
not so badly off. but we should have
more, and the prospect is that We
will have If the proper efforts are
made to get them. The Atlantic
Coast Line, which recently purehas-
ed the Cheraw & Salisbury road from
Cheraw, S C., to Wadesboro, n G.,
1.-THE terminus of the road is having
a route surveyed from Wadesboro
to Winston and will probably begin
the construction of the road at an
early day. The present Legislature
has been asked for charter for a
road from here to Charlotte, but of
that we have not been able to learn
anything yet. But if these roads
are built, supplemented by the ex-
tension of the Norfolk & Western to
Washington, D. G.. we will have all
the railroads We need, perhaps. They
will open up to Winston a lot of new
territory which should be made trib-
utary to the Twin City. and should
not be allowed to be diverted into
other channels.

THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.

Rev. j. C. Price, who is president
of a college for the colored race, at
Sails bury, N. c., is perhaps one of
the best educated and ablest men of
his race in the South; certainly he
has not a superior, if an equal,
amongst the colored people OF North
Carolins as man ofletters and keen
foresight. He recently delivered
lecture before the Nineteenth Century
Club OF New York on the Culture of
the Negro in the South" We have
not seen the address, but it has cali
ed forth considerable comment from
the press both North and South.
In the matter of educat ton aud the
requirement of property the negro
has made phenomenal advancement
IN the quarter of century which
has elapsed since his emancipation,
and Prof. Price expresses the opinion
that at some indefinite period in tie
future the race may possibly attain
to that degree of culture enjoyed by
the white race. It is to be hoped
that this cherished dream of his, and
other leaders of the race, may be
realized, but we do pot believe that
it ever will be. The negro is an en-
ulative creature, but he is lacking in
the power to plan, to create Wher-
ever the white race leads he will strive
to follow, but there are SO few of
them who have the natural capacity
to do more than merely initiate that
the progress of the race beyond
certain point will be slow, and the
goal aimed at by some of the more
favored leaders will never be reached
by the great mass of the race.
One great drawback to a majority
of the race is the fact that "a little
learning units them for any of the
vacations now open to them. When
a negro gets SO he can read and write
a little be becomes possessed with
the idea that he is toe good to labor
as a mental, and will actually suffer
for the necessaries of life rather than
engage in honest toll. They cannot
do anything in the professions, for
their own race will not patronize
them; and it leaves them in a deplor-
able condition.
Great care and wisdom must be
exercised in the education of the
negro. er his last state viii be worse
than th irst."

are making preparations for raising
more tobacco. They were busy pre-
pairing plant beds oduring the spring

been giving the farmers some friendly
calls.
Mr.. Phil Hege, of upper Davidson,
says he has raised tobacco for num-
Der Of years, and always sold at
Browns warehouse, Winston, and
kept an account of the charges for
selling. He says it has amounted 70
twelve hundred dollars. He seems to
think it pays to patronize one house

Solidation of the two towns and a new
courthouse on a more suitable site
would make Winston-Salem far more
city like. We hope to see it so in the
near future.
