Obituary..

Mr.. 7. A. Gloss, son of the late Rev.
William Gloss, d. d., of the North Car
DINA Conference, died in Manchester,
Va, Oct. 18th, 1897, aged 80 years.
The subject OF this sketch was for sew
eral years engaged in the mercantile bus
mess in Henderson, n. c., but in March,
1890, he accepted position with the
Postal Telegraph Co., and was appointed
manager for them at Raleigh. Here, on
March 18th, 1892, he was united in mar
riage to Mrs. Pattie Lassiter, and soon
after was transferred by the postal
Co." to Atlanta, Ga, as manager there.
In this position he remained until the
fall of 1896, when failing health forced
him to give up his position. The winter
following was spent in the Company's
service at Augusta, in the hope that his
health would improve. But this hope
was destined to disappointment and the
following spring $500 he decided to 60
to Richmond, Va, where the Telegraph
Co., with whom he was a great favorte
offered him a less labOrious position
than the one he formerly held.
But all the kindnesses of friends and
all that science and love could do did not
check the ravages of disease and he rap
idly grew worse until the end came
During the acquaintance of this wri-
ter with Mr.. Gloss he was for the most
part confined to the house, and for three
weeks OF the time to his bed. There were
| months OF suffering, a suffering that was
at times, intense, yet always borne with
rare fortitude and wonderful patience.
He was evidently q man of more than
usual intelligence, a student of men and
things as well as of books. AS husband
10, {,I &C..
ton for her whom he had chosen for his
companion in life seemed to deepen with
the passing days and he clung closer and
closer to her as he felt his strength Civ
| ing away, and as the parting day grew
| nearer, he could not bear for her to be
| out OF his sight, even for moment.
Even when all things earthly were fast
slipping away from sight and touch, and
his mind began to wander, he was con
| sciOus OF her presence, as is evidenced by
almost his last words. Bending over
| him she had said "GOd bless YOU" when
| rOusing up for a moment and lifting his
| feeble arms about her neck, he replied: Il
pray Gods blessing on you, my precious
| wife"
He had no child of his own, but upon
his granddaughter he lavished a fathers
love, She was his Joy and pride and
right well did she repay his love with her
own affection and seek to fill daugh
ter's place in his heart and home.
| Mr.. Gloss was not a member of the
church but for years, learn, he had
| been close student OF the Bible and err
tainIy during the time that | knew hi IN
he had been sincere seeker after truth
much of his time was spent in prayer and
conversation about spiritual things and
some time before his death he declare d
his Willingness to accept Christ Us his
personal Saviour and his hope OF saliva
ton through Him thus leaving to those
who loved him so well in this life the Joy
GUS expectation that they shall see him
again in the life to come

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF-T
DEATH OF HENRY GEORGE.

The sudden death of Henry George
candidate Of the Thomas Jefferson
Democrats for mayor Of Greater New
York, which occurred about 5 o'clock
Friday morning, caused general sur
prise throughout the Country. Mr..
George spoke three tunes the night be
fore, and it NAV be said that he liter
ally worked himself t. death. He was
in many respects very remarkable
man and his death removes notable
character Of our times. The Charlotte
Observe, says this Of the dead man:
The sudden death Of Henry George
comes at moment 10 pu. 70 Contu-
sion the councils IF the New York pol
lticans There is, however, broad
er view Of the matter. Mr.. George
could have died at no time when his
taking off would have produced SO
powerful an effect in the city of New
York, but his removal at any period
within the past twenty years would
have been an event, not only in that
city, but in the country. He waas a
! distinct force. In the city OF his resi-
| dence he attached his follOwerers to
himself by ties Of singular strength.
They believed in him fully; they fol-
| lowed him with an enthusiasm that no
other New Yorker can evoke. He had
the faculty Of inspiring the men whom
he inspired at all, with much the same
zeal that Clay and Blaine could kin
die in the breasts of their followers.
| Il was 50, in a modified degree, OF
those who read after him. If he con-
verted them at all TO his peculiar views
he made enthusiastic converts of them.
His overmasterlng ability was beyond
dispute, but there is an ability without
wisd ON; there are forces which 60 to
waste. In some Of his opinions MIR.
George was original; in all radical;
and he held no ground that he was no,
abundantly able TO defend against any
conner. He denied being Socialist
but lie was almost one. Upon the
tariff, he was a free trader AS to the
coinage question, he was against tree
silver. Noparty platform fitted him,
the man was 50 strong, Sc intense, snCf
was his indivldualism, that he was {

Il used often to read the newspapers

once [ was fairly taken in by a patent
medicine advertisement. The seductive
paragraph began with modest account of
the sea-serpent, but ended by setting forth
the virtues of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, which it was alleged was
cure for all Bronchial, Throat and Lung
troubles, and would even cure consump
ton, if taken in time. The way | was
taken in was this: | was stranger to it,
and it took me inland cured me-" Rob
inson s experience is identical with that OF
thousands of others. SO true is this, that
after witnessing, for many years, the mar
velouS cures of Bronchial. Throat and
Lung affections wrought by this wonderful
remedy, its manufacturers feel warranted
in saying that this remedy will cure 90 per
cent of the cases of consumption, if taken
in the earlier stegeS of the disease.

lost the second sober thought of wis

OF 6S closed their schools, the lesson

THE NEW PROBLEM.

According to DR.. Leslie E. keely,
who has been talking to a Washington
Pest reporter, the drinking man is fast
passing away. Contemporaries, he
says, ais ever on the wane in the
United States. There isn't half the
drunkenness there used to be. There
will be no saloons half a century from
now The big lines of railroad will
not to day employ man who drinks
ever SO little. The big stores will
not, and on every side the drinking
man is at discount
Observing people will subscribe to
good deal that DR.. Kelly says,
though he may put it little too strong
when he talks of the entire abolish
ment of the saioon. The saloon, or a
substitute, is apt to be here century
hence, but there will have been com
plete change in the drinking habits of
the people. Certainly in this respect
the world has been growing better AID
will con niue to do SO. But with the
passing of the drinking man comes on
another evil equally as great if not
grea,er-the cigarette smoker. On
this SUI jecl DR.. keely is quoted as say
| ing:
1T isn't whiskey alone that | abom-
| mate. There is the horrible cigarette
habit, that gets hold of our young boys
| and destroys them physically and men
tally. The best type of a decadent is
found in a cigarette fiend. He wakes
up in the night to indulge in his inha-
lations of tobacco, mixed with opium
and wrapped with paper bleached with
arsenic. Before breakfast in the morn
ing the same solace is a necessity. II
the evil ended there it wouldn't be so
bad, but it is the prolific source of a
swarm of worse evils. To my mind
cigarette smoking means degeneracy
and ! would like to see the most strin-
gent legislation on the subject in every
State in the Union.'
his IS very strong indictment,
but it is Just one and it should fur
nlsh food for reflection upon the par,
OF all those who have the welfare OF
the rising generation at heart. The
cigarette gets in lis work quietly bu,
surely, and it binds its victim with a
chain as strong as any ever forged by
whiskey. The cigarette evil is the one
the country will be called upon to dc
battle against. II ever any thing
needed suppression by legislation, the
cigarette does. When we come tl
think of the matter, it is surprising
that SO little concern has heretofore
been manifested over the existence O.
this evil IN cur midst.-Charlot,e OF

Mustn't KILL THE NEIGHRORS'
CHICKENS.

Quite a peculiar and amusing case
IS published in the last volume of the
North Carolina Supreme Court Re
ports. 1t IS an indictment against a
man for .Cruelty to animals for
killing his neighbours chickens which
were IN his garden scratching up his
peas. The defendant was convicted
before justice of the peace, and on
appeal to the Superior Court was con-
vlcted there, and on appeal to the
Supreme Court his conviction was
affirmed.
1t seems foolish for man to incur
SO much cost i'll fighting so frivolous
case, but we suppose his 'sblood was
up and that he was fighting mad.
The opinion Of the Supreme Court,
delivered by Judge Clark, is quite
long one, as well as humorous. The
court declares that a man has no more
right to Kill his neighbours chickens,
which are scratching up his garden,
than he has 10 Kill his cattle that
might be trespassing in his field. His
only remedy IS ''to impound" them
till damage is paid. That is, catch
them twlthOut hurting them and keep
them until the owner pays for what
ever damage they may have DONE
