We record this week, the death
of one of Edenton's best known
and most loteen christian wo-
men, Mrs. Margaret Grizzell
Hathaway. For long time she
had been i'll failing health, suf-
fering sometimes intensely, yet
bearing it all with christian for
titude and resignation. Some
two or three weeks ago she went
to Merry Hill, BERTHE county, to
visit her son DR.. B. W. Hatha-
way, and while there was strick-
ell down and gradually grew
worse till the end came last
Monday evening about 6 o'clock.
Quietly and peacefully her spirit
took its flight i'll the twilight
hours. To her death had no
terrors; she often expressed her
readiness and Willingness to 60,
when the Master was pleased to
call her. Her christianity was
not preparation for death, but
a living abiding principal that
stood the test OF many years of
usefulness. In October, 1855,
when only IS years old she gave
her young life to Christ and join
ed the Methodist Church, and
was ever to it true, tried and
faithful member. January 70,
1861, she was married to r. B.
Hathaway and came to Edenton.
In our midst her life has been
spent. She needs no lengthy ell
comiu1n, or marble shaft to per-
petuate her memory. Let it be
said Of her she was a christian
woman--"she hath done what
she could" In Beaver Hill Gem
etery she was laid to rest.
To the bereaved husband and
family the sincere sympathy of
the community is extended.

Buying and Selling Cows by Tests e
Their Milk.

Buying and Selling Cows by Tesss e
Their Milk.
The North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton proposes a plan for buying and sell
ing COWS. 1t is based on the yield Of
their milk, together with the quality of
the same as determined by tests of the
milk. The rule is to pay for the cow at
the rate Of S12 per gallon Of milk given
per day that is rich enough to show 80
per cent Of fat. To this price add or
subtract one dollar for every one-fourth
of one per cent of fat which is above or
below the 81 per cent. By this rule a
COW is bought entirely on her merits. 1t
is believed to be conservative plan,
and one if adopted Tor one upon a SINH
lar plan) will certainly raise the stand
ard Of COWS and increase their milk and
butter Production. for if they cannot be
sold easily for milk COWS, they will soon
be turlcd ever to the butcher, and a bet
ter animal be kept or a willing purchaser

Mr.. and Mrs. II. N. Frazer arrived

Katie Lucas. who died in 81. Vincenps
hospital ut Portland on Wednesday of
last week, April 18th, Of paralysis. The
funeral took place Friday and was at
tended by very large concourse OF sor-
rowing friends and relatives. The dis
play Of flowers at the grave by lady

section, showing the high esteem in
which she was held.
Judge Bennett, democratic nominee
for congress has received dispatch from
Washington informing him that the
three cases which he argued before the
United States supreme court on March
18th, had been dicided, the decision OF
the lower court having been sustained

OF the hardest-fougbt legal battles that
have ever gone to the U. s. supreme
court from this state, and in which he
was opposed by two Of the most promi-
nent lawyers in the nation, Senator
Thurston and John l.. Dillon.
The country IL at present passing
through gold craze. In South Africa,
Cripple Greek and Alaska, the excite
ment is intense and thousands are pour
ing into the fields TO pick up the fabu-
lous wealth. The majority it is safe TO
say, will return home poorer than when
they left and II is hoped wiser. We
may expect the next gold craze to be in
Oregon for certain it is, there yet lay in
the mountains here, undisturbed mil
lions-more perhaps than in all three
places together. All that is needed to
spread the excitement and develop these
valuable mines 10 some lucky find.
Chicago, it is claimed, is the most in
temperate city in America. In that city
there are more than 81 miles of saloons
and less than miles Of churches. The
liquor drank in Chicago last year, if put
into mammoth vat would completely
immerse the Masonic Temple, % stories
in height, or equal to 143, Az 900 gallons
costing s125.729, ,l7s. This vast sum Of
money wasted, il equally divided among
the l,250,000 population Of Chicago,
would give $72 to each individual. The
more than 55, 200 arrests for drunkenness
would make procession Of close lock-
step marching order Of more than 20
miles in length, and nearly quarter Of
this number are women.

Mrs. Duniway On "Man." +"

Bless 'em! They share our Joys, they
double our sorrows, they triple our ex-
penses, they quadruple our cares, they
excite our magnanimity, they increase
our self respect, awaken our affection,
control our property, and out maneuver
usin everything. This would be dreary
world without them. In fact, may say,
without prospect of successful contradic-
tion, and without them this wouldn't be
much OF world anyhow. We love them
and the dear things can't help it. We
control them and the precious fellows
don't know it. As husbands, they are
convenient, though not always on hand
as beaux, they are by no means match
less. They are most agreeable as visitors,
handy at state affairs, and indespensi-
BILE at oyster saloons; splended escorts
for some other fellows wife or sister,
and as friends they are better than wom-
on. As our fathers, they are inexpen-
sively grand. A man may be failure
in business, wreck in constitution, not
much to boast OF as a beauty, nothing
as a wit, less than nothing as a legisla-
tor for woman's rights and not very brill
liant as members Of the press; but il
our Heavenly Father will overlook his
shortcomings we can cover his piccadil-
! los with divine mantle of our charity,
Then as our husbands, how we do love
to parade them as our paragons! In the
language OF the poet,
Wen lie for EN-,
Wen cry for 'enn,
And If we could, we'd fly for 'em
We'd do anything but die for 'em.

The seekamp Estate Sold.

Messrs. Fred Seekamp, L. c. Johnson
and John Schell, who came out last
week from Wisconsin to look after the
interests of the estate OF Ernest See
kamp, concluded their business and all
have left for home again. August See
kamp took them to Arlington with pri-
vate conveyance.
Before leaving, Billy Barr and Dunn
Bros. bought the entire estate from MIR.
Fred Seekamp, Ernesrs father and sole
heir, for IS $50, paving $3.50 down and
getting six months time on the balance.
They are to pay all debts against the es-
tate and collect all that is due it. This
is considered pretty fair bargain, as
the estate was appraised at $22, ,277. .l3,
consisting of about $500 sheep, 100 acres
OF land and notes and accounts.
Judge Mariner, believing that the es-
tate would be appraised at not over $l5.-
900, required the administrator, Ed
Dunn, to give bonds for double the
amount-$S0,000, which he has filed
with the county clerk, subject to the
approval Of the county court at the regu-
lar session to be held next month. The
bond is made up with the following per-
sons, each of whom have made oath that
they are worth the amount opposite
their names, exclusive OF debts and
nrnnerty exemnt from execution:

1t is fact that there is not one saloon
paying county license in Gillian coun-
ty. There are several saloons in the
county but all pay city license. 1t
would be great advantage tc the coun-
ty il there was not saloon in it, As it is,
1t is losing money by it, as the county
has to foot all the bills caused by drunks
and scrapes growing out Of the liquor
business and the city gets all money
from licenses and petty fines, etc. We
think each and every saloon ought be
made to pay county license and If the
city wants one, all right. The city sa-
loon in sparsely settled country like
this is just the same as a county saloon.
