A Remarkable Man.
A remarkable man in many respects
is Mr.. Wash Hart, Of Granville county,
father of Messrs. Wash and Ira Hart,
OF Vance. In conversation with the
first mentioned son few days ago
we gathered the following:
Mr.. Hart is 80 years old. He is
very active man for his age and can
ride horseback ten miles with as much
ease and freedom from fatigue as most
younger ones. He has II children liv-
ing, II by his first wife and by his
last one, he having been married twice.
Besides these Mr.. Hart has G. grand
children and 40 great-grand children.
He has 5 sons whose combined weight
is ,l5O. Mr.. Hart has been a men,
Der of the Baptist church 70 years. His

Uncle Jimmie Lawrence.
His many Henderson friends will re-
gret the transfer of Capt. James Law
renee, Familiarity known as "Uncle
jimmy from the d. & n. r. r., to
the shops at Raleigh. He will be greatly
missed. 1t will be long time before
the passenger engine on that road will
look natural without seeing the hand
of this veteran and popular engineer
holding the throttle and driving the
ponderous machine. Our friend Caleb
Green, the Durham correspondent of
the Ne,cs and Observer, says:
Uncle Jimmy Lawrence, who has
been running al engine on the Durham
and Northern since it commenced bust
ness, will give up his place and 60 in
the railroad shops at Raleigh. For
years he has been a familiar figure on
our streets, and will be missed. Forty
years ago he was running an engine
on the old Raleigh and CASTOR, and
through all these years he has had the
full confidence of the authorities of the
road. There was nothing against him,
and it is understood this change is made
at his own request. Durham regrets to
part with Uncle Jimmie

Mr.. A. p. Mustian Tuesday, conveyed
intelligence OF the Geath of our ven-
cradle and esteemed friend DR.. J. A.
Geoghegan, which occurred at his home
in Warren county, at 5 o'clock that
morning. He had been in feeble and
declining health a long time and the
announcement ofh death will occasion
no surprise to his friends, painful as
the tidings may be. DR.. Geoghegan

figure in the politics of Tennessee,
having represented that State several
| times in the Legislature. He was a

years and wasting strength compelled
to retire from active life. Moving to
this section of North Carolina about
ten years ago he made his home in the
lower portion of the county for some
time, removing to Warren later where
he has since resided with his son-in-
law.
DR.. Geoghegan leaves three children,
