In all ages and in all chimes since

close of the war at Heverford College,
Pa, graduating in 1863 On his return
to North Carolina he engaged in teach
ing for about two years, being con-
nected with the normal schools, then
first introduced into the State. In
1870 he was elected to the State Legis-
lature for two years from his native
county Of Randolph, and took an active
interest in the reforms made by that
Legislature. Before his term expired
he was elected superintendent Of the
State institution for the Deaf and
Dumb and Blind. which position he
held up to the time of his removal to
Durham in 1878. Purchasing stock in

he was made secretary and treasurer,

THE LITTLE BLACK BOTTLE,
and after thanking our rustic friend
for her kindness, we were soon on our
way to the house Of the aunt.
We arrived in few min
utes at a small house, and
were informed that Mrs. Eliza Chisto-
pher lived there, and entering the
house we were cordially received by
her, and stating the object of our visit,
she at once signifled her willingness to
give us all the information in her
power. We remarked to her that it
had been denied by some pretending
knowing ones that johnson and Sher-
man ever met at the house of her
father. She then, in her own plain
way, told us how she stood and saw the
two officers, Sherman and Johnston,
meet at the gate, shake hands, and
walk side by side into the house, talk
ing earnestly all the while, and how
strange it looked to her to see these
two men, who had been fighting each
other for four years, meet so friendly
and act so gentlemanIY toward each
other. She said they would frequently
come out of the house and take short
walks together, and she also said she
saw them take drink from the very
bottle, in company with her father, that
Mr.. Z. ID. Jones now has in his possess
sion. Continuing, she said: i still own
the little table that was used by the
generals in drawing up their papers,
etc. / have had numerous offers for it,
but none suhicient to induce me to
part with it; but viii sell it for money
enough We remarked to her that pos
sibly there might be some doubt as to
the table she SO greatly valued being
the one that was used on the occasion
mentioned. She said she thought she
could prove it; and arising she brought
from above a small old-fashioned ta-
bic, and then going to a bookcase in
the corner she took from between the
leaves of an old book a diIapidated
page from Harper Weekly, dated
May 27th, 1865, that contained perfect
representation of the exterior of the
Bennett house, as well as the interior of
the room that was occupied by the two
officers, these gentlemen being seated
at the table surrounded with papers,
writing materials, etc.-the etc. con-
listing mainly of the little black bot
tle.' The table owned by the widow
was compared to Harper's representa-
ton, and was pronounced one and the
same by all present. Mrs. Christopher
said it was quite amusing to her to hear
the soldiers on both sides, who were
lounging under the spreading branches
OF the trees, laugh and talk over their
war exploits, narrow escapes, etc. The
lady was then asked if she objected to
swearing that the bottle she sold Mr..
Jones was the one from which Gener-
ais Johnston and Sherman drank on
the occasion of the surrender She
readily answered no, and holding up
her right hand, solemnly swore to the
affidavit.

Let us have a tobacco warehouse.
We are assured by people well yersed
in the tobacco business that ware
house would be paying investment
and, more than that, that it would be a
boon to this whole section. Do our
people know that there is not tobacco
warehouse between Wilson and South
Carolina and that tobacco passes
through this city every day hunting a
market? 1t would not only bring to-
bacco here but would stimulate it's
growth for miles on every side of us.
