man, woman and child become
interested and help to swell the
mum Der of the school until it
shall become the banner Sunday

The FISHERMAN & FARMER
was missed very much at this
office during Fair week, but the
elaborate description given in
last weeks paper of the Fair from
first to last, we are sure amply
repaid the .oss of one weeks
paper, and we desire to congratu-
late the FISHERMAN & FARMER
on the thoroughness of the re
port as it was very interesting to
those who were unable to at
tend.
We had the pleasure of visits
ing Bro, T. J. Burgess last Sun
day, who is SO severely stricken
with paralysis at the home of
Mr.. G. L. Morrisett, and was
glad to notice the cheerfulness of
his disposition while SO afflicted.
Bro. Burgess is native of this
county, but moved to Massacbu-
sets some years ago, and is now
an honored member of Ocean
Lodge, No. 81, Gloucester, Mass.
We would ask Gods blessing
and grace to help our brother to
bear his affection.
Hon. w. B. Ferebee of Kemps-
Vile, Va, returned home last
Saturday. He has been visiting
his relatives and friends of which
he has a host. Mr.. Ferebee was
a former resident of this county,
being born near this place, and
directly after the war was elect
ed to represent this county in
the Legislature of North Carroll
ma, which he did with honor
and distinction. Mr.. Ferebee
is a christian gentleman of the
highest type and we hope his
years of usefulness may be long
in the land in which he is so
