''-Nr. Berry Davidson, a well-known

A Night in Tarboro.

The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
spent night in Tarboro last week. It
is always pleasant to 90 amongst the
good people of that town, but we did
i feel as we came away that they were
never SO clever before. Mr.. o. D. Bell,
proprietor OF Hotel Farrar, makes his
guests comfortable and does everything
necessary to make the time pass pleas
antly. The hotel is we'll furnished, SER
wants are polite and the table service is
good and the fare is good.
Tarboro is all the while making some
improvements. The next greatest i'm
provement ahead now is the building
of an iron bridge across the river. The
contract was let for this some time ago
and it will be built during the summer
and fall.
The tobacco market will be better
this year than ever. There are two or
three new prize houses In course Of
erection and the facilities for handling
the tobacco carried to that market Will
be better than ever.
The cotton mills are running day
and night, which shows that there is
great demand for their product. The
railroad facilities of Tarboro are fine
now, and trains are passing almost ev-
cry hour. The new railroad facilities
add to the trucking interests in the
community.
Superior Court had just adjourned
and every one was saying good things
for Judge Hoke. Some said be is the
finest judge they have ever seen on the
bench. And no one who knows Judge
Hoke and has observed his work in a
court room doubts the correctness OF
the estimate which tho Tarboro people
place upon him.
Tarboro is one of the best towns In
Eastern Carolina and there are indica-
tions of greater improvement still. We
haye not had a more pleasant visit to
any town nor have we met cleverer bus
mess men anywhere.

Death of Capt. w. e. Aaron.

On June 22nd, 1886, at 5 As, p. m.
died at the home of his adopted son
Mr.. w. w. Pope, near Scotland Neck
Capt. William E. Aaron. The 7th o.
next September would have wound ur
his 88th year. Though he had lived
in this immediate community only two
years, his reputation had preceded MIN
and his blameless life among us wor
the highest regard of all.
Manly strength with womanly gen.
tleness, the sturdiest honor with the
tenderness OF mercy-these elements
were richly blended in him. It a hu.
man being lives who ever spoke OF
thought ought to the detriment o1
Capt. Aaron this writer has never heard
of him. Having lost his only son in
his early married life, he chose and
adopted to bring up as his own SIX
children of others, some Of whom were
nothing to him by blood.
10 his honor be 1t recorded that ev-
cry one of these foster children cherish
ed for him the highest veneration and
the warmest flial love. The world is
better for the life of such man and
sadder because he has died. OF him
one would expect to hear the fact that
for sixty-five years he was most ear
nest servant OF God, and his life shone
with the beauty of holiness.
At the time of his death he was a
member of the Baptist church of Scot
land Neck. The body was taken to
his old home near Crowells June 23rd,
and there laid to rest in the old family
burying-ground. r. T. V.

journed subject to the call of the chair
man of the county Executive Commit

cies that may be observed.

About Extra Copies.

About Extra Copies.
We propose to give every one of our
subscribers value receieyed for his dol
lar which he pays as the subscription
price of this paper, and we believe we
do. Frequently there is some article
in the paper, an obituary, news item,
personal mention, or something else,
that MAKES it especially interesting to
some subscriber, and he desires few
extra copies to send away.
Well, friends, we do not print the
paper simply for the fun of it. So if
you want extra copies you need not be
surprised if we tell you we expect you
to pay for them.
But subscriber may think that
surely his patronage from year to year
entities him to an extra copy now and
then for nothing. No it doesn't. We
give dollars worth of papers on the
regular mailing list to every subscriber
and to expect us to give away extra
copies because you have paid for what
we have sent out on our mailing list is
Just as unreasonable as it would be to
purchase your butter and eggs from
your groceryman year, and when you
have extra company call in and ask
him to give you a dozen eggs or a
pound OF butter.
It takes just as much paper and just
as much ink to print the extra copies
as it does the regular list, and we are
none the better off by giving away pa
pers.
If you wish sample copies sent we
will gladly do that and make no charge
ior it +; if you simply call for extra cop
les to send out for your own conven'
lence We expect pay Tor them-S cents
