Death of Mrs. Mary E. wh,theaed.

Death of Mrs. Mary E. Whltheaed.
Mrs. Mary E. Whitehead, relict OF
the late Jacob Whitehead, died at her
home in Scotland Neck Dec. 3, 1897,
aged 68 years. The remains were buri-
ed Saturday, 4th.> at her old home a
few miles from town.
Mrs. Whitehead had been great
sufferer, having been an invalid Tor
fifteen years.
For many years she had been amem-
her of the Kehukee Baptist church,
and was a consistent member through
all her affections. She left five daugh-
tors to mourn the loss OF their mother
Surely to the soul, tired and weighed
down with the suffering OF so many
wears, it must have been welcome
snmmons that called her to "come up
hioher" where suffering and death are
known no moro.
And while her death causes sadness
70 the loved ones behind. they sorroN
not as do those who have no hope bu
live in expectation of reunion IN TIT
skies when the summons comes Z
them.
Truly, Blessed are the dead who oil
lin the Lord.

Complimentary to Mr.. Daniel.

complimentary 10 NAT. Oan1eA'
The Tarboro Southerner last week
made pleasing reference to Solicitor
W. E. Daniels work In the prosecution
of the Alford-Fields trial. 1t said:
"Without aid from his professional
brethren, with little or no assistance
from outside sources, and opposed by
attorneys we'll known to be skillful and
able in the management OF their cases,
he presented to the court and jury a
series of circumstances that secured the
conviction of one of the defendants and
almost enmeshed the other. His con-
duct OF the case was admirable and his
speech to the jury was marked In Its
strength and force. Its effect was
shown in the close attention OF the jury
and in the nervous apprehension OF
those against whom it was directed. 1t
was not his fault, but through the lack
OF a connecting link in the testimony,
that one of the defendants was acquit-
ted.
"Mr. Daniel has shown himself, not
only in this, but in all other cases, to
be an able and faithful officer. We
congratulate him and the people be
serves. He is the kind of man they
are clad to honor and we hope that, II
he should desire the Office again, he
Will have no opposition in the election
"a year hence"
