Death of Mr.. l.. 3. Tanning.

Death has again come into our midst
taking away one of our oldest citizens.
Mr.. l.. B. Manning died at his home
in this place at quarter to O'Clock
this morning. He had been confined
to his bed little over ten weeks, and
although he gradually grew weaker he
did not suffer much until more recently
when his condition became serious.
The latter part of the past week his
trouble assumed critical nature and
he suffered greatly. 1t was only by
resorting to artificial means to afford
relief that the attending physicians
were able to make him as comfortable
as possible and to prolong life. But
his advanced age and exhausted condl-
ton were such as to give little hope OF
recovery even with this, and it was
evident that he could not survive long.
He was conscious of his situation and
did not expect to get well, frequently
expressing a readiness and Willingness
to die. His family and intimate friends
were prepared for the worst and pain.
full as the sad realization was to them
his death came not in the nature OF a
surprise.
Mr.. Manning was we'll known and
esteemed by wide circle of friends
He was friendly in disposition, quiet in
manner and modest by nature. Gen
erous hearted and sympathetic, he loved
his fellow man and said naught agains
any one. He was warm in his friend
ship, firm in his convictions of right
and steadfast in his purposes. He had
been a member of the Methodist Pro
testant church many years, ant
although not taking an active or con
spicuous part in its work, he was
consistent Christian. One who hat
known him long and intimately, re
marked to the writer that Mr.. Mannln:
was one of the very best men lie eve
knew-as innocent as child.
The deceased would have been y
years old next July. He was re
markedly we'll preserved man for his
age; but had failed rapidly during tn
last six months. He leaves ten chill
drens, five boys ard five girls. Fou
sons and daughter are in the tai
West, three daughters and son llvln;
in Henderson, and one daughter IL
Scotond Neck.
The funeral will be held from tn
Methodist Protestant church at
O'Clock Friday afternoon. 1ntermen
at the cemetery.

Chiidren's Day Exercises.

The annual Children's Day exercises
at the Presbyterian church Sunday at
ternoon were of a highly interesting
character. A large congregation was
present, the church being filled beyond
its seating capacity. The children &C
Quilted themselves we'll and if such a
thing had been in order each feature
would have received generous applause.
All did their part excellently, each one
deserving especial mention, but the
nature of the program was such as to
render this difficult. The older girls
and boys, however, will pardon US
for making an exception in the case of
the two smallest ones. The duet of
little Aileen Lewis and Kate Bullock,
was the '.gum DROP of the exercises
and they had to sing second time by
request.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, who wrote this book,
may have been a conscientious woman,
but she was evidently fanatical crank.
Ere this she may have passed over the
river, but her influence for evil is still felt.
OF all the agencies employed none were
so potent a factor in the cause of eman-
cipation as was this book ofslanders and
Misrepresentation OF a people who had
never harmed her or her people. This
slanderous book melted prejudice, aliena-
ton, sectional hate, arrayed the world
against the Southern people, and ended
in war and blOodshed.
There is no region OF country, to the
extent of the South, where law and order
are better observed. And in majority
of instances, where trouble arises, it can
| be traced to some outside influence, and
were it not for the financial pressure no
| people would be more contented.
notice recently theatrical troupes,
we'll equipped, are travelling through the
South enacting plays taken from this
book. Their advertising bills are we'll
| calculated to resurrect issues that have
| long been buried in the past and destroy
the good feelings that prevail among
those who are forced, under present cir.
cumstances, to live with each other, and
whose interest it is to live in an amicable
manner.
Can our people afford to sacrifice their
self-respect by patronizing such compa
MES which not only cater for the sufferer
money, but add insult to injury?

years the Mirror has been publishing the
advertisements of Chamberlain's Remedies.

A Good Man Passes Away.
Died, in Henderson, at the residence OF
his son Thad X. Manning, Esq, Mr.. l..
B. Manning, in the seventy sixth year of
his age, on the morning of May 23rd,
1895, at $40 O'Clock, a. m. 1t can be
truthfully said in the passing away OF
this generous, noble man, the world loses
one of it's best characters and Heaven
has received one of the best gifts.
MIR. Manning was very quiet and unOs-
tentatious in his manner, and while firm
in his convictions never intruded his
views or opinions upon Others. By
nature, he was highly endowed mentally,
and though not highly educated he had
been a close reader and was we'll advanced
| along the road of self-cultivation.
The writer of these lines can say with
candOr, that of all men he ever knew, not
one surpassed him in any respect, or in
any virtue that tended to make up the
high-minded Christian gentleman. Not
one word did he ever speak, to the
writer's knowledge, that could not have
been repeated at any other time or place.
duu III Tue pIcScuCt VI tilc IulsU Icuutu
and cultured.
By occupation he was a farmer, and
succeeded well, accommodating good
fortune, which was lost by reverses which
occurred, and were incident to the late
war. He met all troubles in life as only
a Christian could, never brooding over
| losses or taking to heart those things he
| could not help.
Speaking along this line not many
| months since, the deceased informed ME
that once since the war he lost, by a
loan to friend, $12, 900 in gold, and he
| never lost an hours sleep by the misfor-
| tune. No one but true Christian could
sustain such loss and not murmur. In
| all things he quietly submitted: "Thy
| will be done, not mine"
The deceased left ten children, DR..
| Frank Manning, of Fargo, North Dakota,
DR.. Henry Manning, w. 7. Manning,
Esq, of Alaska, Thad r. Manning, OF
Henderson, Geo. NJ. Manning, of Dixon,
Illinois, Mrs. C. w. Dunn, of Scotland
Neck, N. c., Mrs. r. A. Patterson, OF
Odonah, Mimi, Mrs. ID. II. Mangum,
and Misses Pattie and Annie Manning,
of Henderson.
At some future time more extended
| and minute obituary notice will appear.
The deceased was a member OF the
Methodist Protestant church and was
regarded as one of the most consistent
members. A FRIEND.

improvements Made.

Mr.. Dorsey has made some decided
improvements by re-arranging the in
terror of his drug store. The shelving
has been changed somewhat, part Of
the partition in the rear taken away
and private office and prescription
department fitted up on one side at the
back. This gives more light besides
insuring greater privacy to the COM
pounding clerks and book-keeper.
The shelving has been run back the
full length of the builling-lOO feet
on one side, which makes it the largest
drug store in the State. In addition
to this Mr.. Dorsey has also had erected
in the rear Of the building a structure
of convenient size for storing paints,
oils, etc. This is of corrugated iron
and was made necessary in order to
accommodate his large and growing
trade in these and kindred articles.

The indications now point to much

earlier in the season There will
doubtless be plenty peaches, the trees
being remarkably full, giving ample al
lowance for los. by blight and she'd

Mr.. S. Ii. Allen, Esq, gives us the
following local item, as related to him
by Mr.. W. T. Rowland, of Middleburg.
After the terrific hail storm which
passed through portion ofthat section
of the county last Thursday, boy on
his farm picked up a piece of ice that
weighed 6 pounds and ounces. This
was ten hours after the cloud had
passed. 1t was not solid but would
break in shields about the size of
mans finger. The hail stones could
be raked up in large quantities in some
places.

A colored man was shot on the ex-
cnrsion train returning from Raleigh to
Louisburg, Monday evening, from the
effects of which he died next day. A
Louisburg letter to the Neus and Obser-
ger says that white man named Bob
Garner was supposed to have done the
shooting and he was arrested but re-
leased after preliminary trial. The
negro was inside the coach and the
man with the pistol was standing on
the platform. The writer states that
there was no cause for the shooting as
the men had not had any difficulty be-
fore. The ball passed through tho
window and took effect in the negro's
lungs, His name was Romulus Neal
