Death of CAPTAIN Hall.

Although Captain William w. Hall,
editor of the Roanoke News, LETT this city
q fortnight ago unweli, and it was known
that he was ill with fever, yet as no init
nation of any serious complication had
been received, the announcement OF his
death yesterday was a great shock to
his friends here. Captain Hall was born
in January, 1854, in Halifax county,
where until recently he has resided. He
was son of DR.. J. Stuart Hall, OF Scot
land Neck, and a grandson of the late
Judge Hall, of the Supreme Court OF this
State. Mr.. Hall at first chose the pro-
fession of his illustrious grandfather, but
after studying law, early engaged in
journalism as joint editor and proprietor
of the Roanoke News and ever since MAIN
tanned that paper on an elevated plane
among the newspapers OF the State. AS
an editor he was pronounced, clear in
enunciating his ideas, and vigorous in
upholding his opinions.
He was consistent, even tempered, fair
in discussion and temperate in maintain
ing his views. He appears not to have
sought public place. But in 1891, he
was chosen to represent his county in the
General Assembly and if we are correct
was the only editor in that body. On
Une appointment OI MI. d. N. Lazy do
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, he in
vited Mr. Hall to take charge OF the
clerical work in that Office, the duties re-
quiring unusual capacity and intelligence.
Accepting this position Mr.. Hall temper
arilly abandoned the sanctum and came
to reside in Raleigh where he made many
friends, who learning to appreciate his
great personal worth became warmly
attached to him, and his loss will be
sincerely felt
Mr. Hall was united in marriage years
ago, with Miss Maria w. Long, now
deceased, a daughter OF DR.. VIM. Luns-
ford Long, of Halifax, and a grand
daughter of Gov. Hutchins G. Burton,
of this State.
In manner, Mr.. Hall was genial and
courteous and he was frank in DISPOSE
ton, while his character as gentleman
and Christian is attested by the ap,
pointment he held from the Bishop Of
the Episcopal church Of this Diocese as
lay reader in St. Marks Church, at
Weldon. The death OF a good man is at
all times sad, but when he passes away
in the full vigor of a useful life his loss is
doubly felt.-Raleigh Observer 9th.

DIR. Kingsbury, of the Wilmington
Messenger, writing Of the death of Mr..
crawford Cooper, of Oxford, SAYS:
The editor has known Mr.. Cooper
from his own early boyh God in the
thlrtles He held him in highest es-
TEEN, and was very glad to number
HIM among his true, unfaltering friends.
He was man of excellent sense, of
the most sterling qualities, as honest
and upright a man of affairs as we
have ever known an excellent citizen
and long a ruling elder in the Presby-
terrain church. A life long friend is
gone before.
Early yesterday morning the quiet
stiffness that usually pervades the
back lot of Southerland's stables was
unceremoniously broken by a series of
loud and successive shrieks as if pro-
ceeding from some one in dire distress.
A crowd soon gathered curious to learn
what had so rudely disturbed the Silly
peacefulness blocks away. The per-
Torrance was soon over, however, and
explanations were in order. Two
young men were setting a little matter
In their own way. One had the other

ton fast and furious by pounding him

is nothing of more Importance to a

him that Professor Gilmer will be
assured of a liberal support and en-
couraged to extend the scope~and use

to say the least, for parents to send
their children elsewhere to get an

to properly sustain our local schools.

Will take a Vacation.

After the morning service Sunday
the congregation of the n, ,hodist
Episcopal church voted to give their
pastor Rev. w. l.. Cuninggim, a vaca-
ton. This was proper and graceful
act and we are sure he will be bene-
fitted by much needed rest. Although
he has baen offered vacations several
times during his ministry, he has never
been willing to accept one until now,
and does so at this time only upon the
advice of his physician. During the
nearly three years stay of Mr.. Cunning
GIN in Henderson he has never taken
a days rest, and even while away
from his church here he has been at
work elsewhere. While not now sick
he needs such recuperation as rest and
freedom from care will bring and this
he seeks in the quiet surroundings,
bracing atmosphere and heaith-giving
mineral waters Of Chase City, Va,
having left yesterday for ten days.
