OBITUARY..

Died at her home at Dawson's, Hall
fax county, n. c., Tuesday, Dec. 3, '95,
Mrs. w. B. Harris, aged 80 years.
The deceased was the elder daughter
of Beverly T. and Elizabeth B. Pltfman
of Edgecombe county; was married to
Mr.. w. B. Harris Jan. %, 1898. Her
married lite throughout was pleasant
and agreeable. Although delicate and
frail from childhood, she never had any
serious sickness until last May, when
that ever fatal disease, consumption, de-
veloped itself. All that the best pro-
durable medical skill could render
kind friends and relatives suggest or
loving hands do to reliev e her suffer
ings and effect a cure, was done but
our efforts will ever fail when death
speeds its shaft No, the grim messen-
ger would not be satisfied without our
darling and loved one.
One by one our few pleasures, hopes
and comforts are fading and fitting
away One by one the tender ties that
bind us to earth are being severed.
Since she has gone, there is stronger
tie that binds us to Heaven.
Although her sufferings were intense,
she bore them with admirable patience.
No murmur escaped her lips, no frown
of dissatisfaction was ever seen. Even
when her throat was ulcered and parch-
ed, her body burning with fevered heat
angels seemed lowering DER her couch
and ms titled sweet, allaying dreams
into her soul and made her "dying bed
as soft as downy pillows are"
Her amlable, afectionate and gentle
disposition won the love of all who
knew her.
She joined the Baptist church at
Gethsemane, in Edgecombe county
about three years ago. After her mar
riage she moved her membership to
Dawson's Baptist church ; and has ever
proved a faithful, Jealous worker for
her Masters cause. She was ever ready
to do her part of work in the Sunday
school and her seat was meyer vacant
unless sickness prevented and while
sick she would frequently express de-
sire to attend her church and discharge
her Christian duties. She was perfect
ly resigned to the will OF God, and her
last words were that she would soon be
at rest with Jesus.

"SNOW WHITE
A Beautiful Cantata.

About three-quarters Of d century
has been linked by the cycling wears
since the Brothers Grimm gave their
Household Stories" 10 the world. But
the popularity Of these tales does not
wear away with the slow tread Of time.
One Of the most beautiful Of these
stores, Snow White" was presented
In the cantata rendered in Temperance
Hall last Thursday night.

Smith, Haywood Hyman and Stewart
Hall, as the seven Dwarfs. Several la
dies and gentlemen, with a number Of
children appropriately attlred, partlci-
pated. Miss Retta Johnson presided at
the piano.
The stage was beautifully and taste
fully arranged, every one seemed per
fectly at home, the parts were all adj
mirably rendered, and the whole per
Torrance was most credltable one
The hall was filled and the large au-
dience was delighted with the evening s
entertainment. 1t is thought that per-
haps the cantata will be repeated, and
one prominent and intelligent gentle
man OF the town is reported as saying
that he will give five dollars to have it
rendered again.
The entertainment was given for the
benefit of the Episcopal church.
At the close of the cantata an oyster
supper was served at the Scotland Neck
hotel. The gross receipts from the
cantata and the supper amounted to
$50.

THE PAINS OF RHUMAyISM

According to the best authorities,
originate in NOR bid condition Of the
blood Tactic acid, caused by the de-
composition of the gelatinous and
albuminous tissues, circulates with the
blood and attacks the fibrous tissues,
particularly In the joints, and thus
causes the local manifestations of the
disease. The back and shoulders are
parts usually affected by rhumatlsm,
and the joints at the knees, ankles hips
and wrists are also sometimes attacked
Thousands of people have found In
Hoods Sarsaparllria a positive and
permanent cure for rhumatism. It has
had remarkable success in curing the
most severe cases. The secret of its
success lies in the fact that it attacks at
once the cause OF the disease by neu-
tralizing the Tactic acid and purifying
the blood, as we'll as Strengthening
every function of the body.

The Inflated EIbe.

LONDON. Jan. 3l.-The latest infor-
nation as to the number of lives lost
by The sinking of the North German
Lloyd steamship Elbe places it at 3l4,
AT least that is the number missing, and
there is very little hope entertained
that any of these will eventually be
heard from alive. 1t is true, however,
that some fishing smacks which are out
on cruises in the vicinity of the disas-
ter have not yet returned to port. Sd
that there still remains possibility
that they may have rescued some Of
the unfortunates of the lost steamer.
On the other hand the weather is I'm
favorable 10 the survival of castaways
for any considerable length of time.
The captain of the Crathie was below
st the time of the collision. the mate
being charge OF the vessel. The latter
says his own vessel was so terribly
damaged by the collision that its con-
dilion called for the undivided atten
ton of the officers and the entire crew.
There was, the mate adds, dense fog
at the time of the accident and the yes
sci with which the Crathie had collid-
ed was lost 10 yiewin the mist almost
Immediately after the crash The life
boats OF the life-saviug stations at
Ramsgate and Broadstairs have return
ed after being out for fifteen hours
searching for possible survivors OF the

or wreckage. 4 binding snow storm
Is raging and navigation is suspended.
