The Well Known "Black Diamond"
Bass Singer Dead.

The Well Known "Black Diamond"
Bass Singer Dead.
The Raleigh Press Visitor Of Tues
day, announces the death at his home
in that place Of Matt Simmons, the
we'll known negro with the Won
derful bass voice, who has been heard
here. 1t says:
Matthew Simmons, the well-known
bass singer, whose voice has been heard
in every English speaking country, by
Kings and Queens and in many foreign
climes, died this morning about five
o'clock. Possibly he was best
known by the people in the United States
as the black face darkey with the won
derful bass voice in the Black Diamond
Quartette. The quartette starred in
all the principal cities OF the country
managed by Matthew. His fine bass
voice attracted the attention of the
critics and he was taken to Europe and
starred there by well known managers.
1t was there he received medals and APP
peared before crowned heads.
Matthew had peculiar fondDess for
white people. He was universally polite
and enjoyed the friendship of thousands,
who always spoke well of him. He was
about thirty-tive years old.

HOW TO CAN FRUIT.
Good Results Obtained From the Sim
pIest rIethOds.

Good Results Obtained From the Sim
pIest rlethods.
In these days of many patents, when
the markets filled with various elabo-
rate devices for canning purposes, it is
pleasant to know that the very best re-
suits may be obtained with a wooden
rack, fitted into a fiat bottomed clothes
boiler. A good boiler of heavy tin,
large enough to hold a dozen and a
half cans, may now be purchased for
$1.5O. Any amateur carpenter may
easily make the rack out of pine strips
q half inch thick and an inch and a
half wide.
The jars are filled with fruit and COW
cred with the syrup made from their
Juice in the case of soft fruit like ber-
ries, and of water in the proportion of
five pints of water to seven pounds of
sugar in the case Of harder fruits. like
peaches, pears and plums. The covers
are screwed down without rubber,
aud the jars set on this rack and sepa-
rated by kitchen towels. They are
immersed up to their necks in warm
water, which is allowed to come to the
boiling point. In the case of delicate
! fruits like strawberries, the water is
allowed to boil hut two minutes around
the jars. In the case of pineapples it
boils five minutes; in case of peaches,
pears and plums and most other fruits,
20 minutes. AS soon as the time of
the boiling is over, the fruit is removed
| at once, Jar by Jar, the cover is taken
off, the jar is filled TO the brim with
fresh boiling water to take the place of
that which has been absorbed, the rub
Der is put on, and the cover is screwed
ON as tight as possible. When the jars
are cold, the covers are tightened again
and each jar is wrapped in paper to
exclude its contents from the light and
is slowed away in the preserve closet.
! This closet should be in place where
the uniform temperature is as near to
so degrees as possible. A dry cellar
is usually the best place.-Ezchange.

Advice to Young Men.

Young man, attention. F.! Dost thou
90 abroad in the land at night and rush
the growler and per.,mbulate with the
feminines Dost thou whoop her up
with the boys and finger the substance
of the jackpot, and plant the shekles
against the ever slippery tiger ? Art
thou a guzzler of beer and a player of
cards Dost thou puff five cent cigar
or puff the deadly cigarette, and hast
thou lost thy grip on ways that are ripe
and wisdom which is good in the world ?
Verify, thou art in bad row Of stumps.
1t will not be long ere thou art known
in the land no more, Thine heels will
fly up and thou fall in the soup. Keep
thine eye on thine gun, and monkey
not with the juice of the bug. Steer
clear Of the man with the aces, and in
the ripening years of life thy pockets
will be full of the collateral of the earth,
while those that mind not these COM
mandments are partaking of the lunch
that is free.-ErchaRe.

Death of a Popular Young rlan.


Our Kittrell correspondent sends the
following:
Mr.. Joseph r. Jenkins, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul jenkins, of Vance county,
died on Saturday after three weeks

this popular young man, who had only
reached twenty-one, is greatly deplored
by a wide circle of loving friends and rel
atives, for he was just entering upon Il
career OF usefulness to his church, com
munity and those nearest and dearest
to him.
Mr.. Jenkins had only recently been ap-
pointed County Examiner, but he was
filling the office to the satisfaction OF all
concerned and was evidently bent upon
discharging his duty to the very letter.
He will be sadly missed in his home,
for he was the Joy and comfort OF his pa
rents to an unusual degree. His young
was present at their social gatherings
his ready wit and humor added much to
the pleasure of the occasion. His popu-
larity was shown forth by the large num-
Der who, despite the extreme heat, gath
cred on Sunday afternoon to pay the
last sad rites to his memory. He was
laid to rest at Plank Chapel, of which he
was useful member, services being con-
Quoted by Rev. +. B. Mccall. He will
Give long in the hearts Of those he leaves
behind and this is not to die We eX-
tend our heartfelt sympathies to his pa
rents who have thus been sadly bereaved

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
The Wonder is How She Ever Escaped
Alive

AuVCs
There lives in the Southern part of
Brassfeld township, in Granville
county, at the residence Of the late
Jerry Estes, Mrs. Caroline Grissom.
The dwelling is a two story frame house
with a dining room attached with we'll
under or at the edge of the dining room
porch. On Friday night, Sept. E, about
one O'Clock Mrs. Grissom says she had
a dream that she was going to visit a
neighbor and dressed herself, went out
of the house, locked the door behind her
and started by way of the dining room
and we'll, aud she thought that Oh her
way to the neighbours she had fence
to get over. When she reached the
we'll she says thinking it the fence she
climbed the curb and fell Is or 20 feet
to the water when she awOke. The
we'll is about 80 feet-ten or more in
water. She pulled herselfup to the top
of the water and gave the alarm, and
called her brother, who with his family
live with her in the same house. Her
brother heard her cries and after some
little time he asked where was she, and
was toldi in the we'll and to 60 and get
the neighbors to help get her out. She
was so calm and collected that she gave
all directions how and in what manner
to get her out. She kept herself above
water with her back aud feet against
the wall
After she was taken out it was found
that she was not hurt or bruised in any
way. Mrs. Grissom has been an invalid
for great many years, besides she is
quite old. She has been getting on as
we'll as usual since the accident,-Ox.

Feast and your friends are many, fast

Editor Britt, of the Oxford Public
Ledqer, issued a very creditable edition
of his paper week before last. BY this
we do not mean to say that every issue
of Brother BIRTHS paper is not cred
liable one, though. But the number
in question was especially so, being one
that he had expended extra effort on.
1t was tobacco edition." pages in
size, and contained a number of hand
some and effective illustrations. There
was a good write-up of the Oxford
market, its facilities for handling the
leaf and the inducements offered plant
ers to sell it there, etc. Such enter
prise deserves the liberal patronage
the paper received. 1t can not fail OF
great and lasting benefit to the town
and market.
When pc rson is losing flesh and vast
| ing away there is cause for alarm. Moth
ing so worries a physician. Consumptives
would never die if they could regain their
uaual weight. In fact there would be no
/ consumption if there were no wasting OF
the system. The cause Of this loss Of flesh
is failure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our diseases date
to some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus-
ing the food We eat to he digested so as to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested ana is digester o
