n Csnfeunrian.


WELDON, n. c.. December H.-(spe-
cisi)--Mr. James Bryant, the Oldest citi-
zen of this county, died at his home
near Enfield Saturday In the s7th year Of
his age.
Mr.. Bryant was most remarkable
man, and was hardly ever sick day
before In his life. Many OF his neighhors
said that he was a centenarian, but
knowing how skeptical you are on this
subject, I went TO the family records
and found that he was born June l, i7sS,
so Il will be seen that he lacked three
years and a little over five months Of
being q centenarian. He was highly es-
teemed and had the most loving care
during his last years.

ment, a big exposition In 1870. Success
to the project.
Salem Times-Register)
There Is a warm spot in the makeup
OF the Times-lasgtster for Richmond, Viz
ginias historic capital city, and for that
reason we have felt hvely interest IN
the proposed annexation OF Manchester
20 that city. 1t seems to as that the pro-
position is one that ought to commend
itself TO the people OF both cities, for
their business interests are mutual. and 1t
would be most gratifying TO Virginlans
10 be able to soy that their chief city had
q population OF moye than 10000, ana was
progressively reaching out after more.
Yes, Richmond, take IN MANCHESTER, and
ell your suburban vliitaess spread out
and then Ill up the vacant Spaces.
RockbrIdge News)
The proposition 10 unite Manchester
with Richmond is beng favoraoly dis-
cussed in both cities. Separated as they
are. only by James river, they are ma
turally one town. We welcome anything
that will add 20 the importance and ex-
tension OF our capital city, and such we
believe this consolidation would mean.
