inclined to take serene and philosophical

violate custom and tradition by cultlvating or

we have rarely done ourselves justice at world
fairs, but the good effect Of the example OF
Europe In Chicago last year is shown at the
great Belgian Exhibition which Is to open next
Saturday in Antwerp. An American corpora
ton has erected on the most choice site OF the
grounds an edifice second only to the chief eX-

President Cleveland the fitness of Mr..
Harrell for this position. The recon-

than one hundred and fifty Congressman
and many United States Senators. The

it not amiss to publish one from him

Could anything better have been SAID,
or could anything have been better said
or said more truthfully? 1t is believed
by those in position to know that, had
he lived, Mr.. Harrel would havereceiyed
the appointment; but this was not to
be. His work is done and he was called
away.
Mr.. Harrell was married in the year
1874 to Rosa Fletcher, daughter of
George 4. and Ann Eliza Harris of Hen
derson, n c. Four children were born
OF this marriage, two of whom, George
Abner Harrell and Lizzie Monsord Har-
rell with their mother, survive him. He
was gentle and loving husband, kind
and affectionate father. He anticipated
every wish of his family and provided
abundantly for his own household, and
no man was fonder of the society and
companionship of his family and friends.
His fOndness for children and their
affection for him is proof of his gentle
nature and kind disposition. His famil
lar figure accompanied by his little darl
ing daughter Lizzie as he went about
town attending to his business, will be
missed in Henderson, but in the beauti-
full and happy home of which he was the
light and the life there is sadness and
gloom. But he hath left as an heritage
an honored and unsullied name.
He was warned of the approach Of
death and was ready to answer to the
dread summons
He died in peace at his home in Hen
derson on the 3rd day of January, 1894
in the fifty-fourth year of his age.
He was the architect of his own for
tune; he possessed an independent mind,
and thought and acted for himself. He
was a good man and true. Would that
there were more such men as John Abner
Harrell. H.

John Abner Harrell.

From the urn Of death, shaken for all,
sooner or later the lot must come forth,
and the day which we fear as our last is
the birthday of eternity
John Abner Harrell was born at Har-
rellsville, in Hartford county, North
Carolina, on the 25th day of November,
A. D. 1889. He was the oldest OF seven
children, born to Alpha Boone Harrell
and his wife, Ann Elizabeth Mansard
He was reared in the home Of his grand
farther, the late John Abner Harrell, of
Harrellsville, for whom he was named,
and who, being a man Of large wealth,
gave his grandson the advantage of
liberal education.
Mr.. Harrells mother, was a French
lady and in culture and intellect she was
the equal of any. She was a descendant
of the same family as the celebrated
French Architect Jules Hardouin Man
sart who designed many of the celebrated
State buildings in Paris that are the
admiration of the traveller and from
whom the Mansard roof OF the present
day takes its name. 1t is related OF this
distinguished parsonage that being in
vited to reception in one of the royal
gardens by Louis XIV, King of France,
the guests were uncovered in the presence
of the King as was the custOm-When
the King turning to Mansart said:
"Put on your hat, Mansart. Earls and
dukes | can create, but only God can
make Mansart."
The family estate Of the Harrells con-
sisted principally of slaves and these
being emancipated as the result OF the
war Mr.. Harrell was thrown upon his
own resources. For two years he was
a professor in college at Norfolk Va,
then for q short while he engaged in
merchandising, which he abandoned to
engage in his life work, that of printer
and publisher. This businesses he con-
Quoted for some time at Henderson, n.
c., and afterward at Franklin, Va, and
subsequently he removed it to Weldon
n. c., where it continued till his death
attaining a degree of success unprece-
dented in the South. 1t was left for
J. A. Harrell to provide and print for
prices before unheard of blank forms for
almost every kind of document in use by
the man of business, of lawyers and OF
courts. Others printed law blanks, but
no one else it is believed ever provided SO
many and SO useful forms and at such u
low price. And so he served his day and
generation and earned and received the
gratitude OF his fellow men. He was
honest, reliable, prompt, diligent in bust
ness, punctilious in keeping his engage
ments and promises and by the practise
OF these habits and qualities he accumu
lated a goodly estate. But he never used
his means as an instrument of oppression
and no man was more indulgent to his
debtors. SO we'll and favorably was he
known as master in his speciality, that,
when in the spring OF 1898 it was known
that he desired to be Public Printer Of
the United Stat es, he received perhaps q
larger number If personal endorsements
for that position than were ever given
