Funeral of Mr. Mark Farmer.

Gun readers remember with sadness
the drowning Of Mr.. Mark Farmer who
lost his life in Contentnea Greek at
Wilson on Saturday. We learn in ad-
dition to what has already been stated,
that Mr.. Farmer and his companion
were out in a boat getting pond lilies
for his sister when the boa filled AMI
sank. The Wilson News Of Monday
contains the following concerning the
funeral:
The funeral of young Mark Farmer
was held at the Baptist Church yester-
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
AS the hour approached for the SER
vices the church was packed to it's full
est capacity, and as the remains were
brought in by present n past mem
bers of the u. N. c., there was many a
tear dimmed eye. The pail bearers
were: Messrs. H. G. Common, Jr., l.. E.
Barnes, Hugh Murray, P. D. Gold, Jr.
John A. Moore, Sam Clark and Giles
Winstead. A beautiful duet was rem
dered by Miss Bessie Worthington and
Mrs. Alex Quarles, after which the
pastor, Rev. w. H. Reddish, made a
short talk, the text of which was taken
from a part of the 18th verse Of the
18th chapter of Revelations: Write
blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth." He very
touchingly referred to the exemplary
character Of the young man, showing
that in his home, school and religious
life ne was all that could be desired,
and said he hoped this death would be
a sermon to every young man in the
community.
Professor Mangum was then asked
to speak in behalf of his schoolmates
and the town. He, too, made a very
appropriate talk, showing hat young
Farmer bore an enviable reputation
among his school companions. In con-
clusion Mr.. Mangum said that the boy
had learned to love the old university
and that for this reason his college
friends had contributed a wreath in the
university colors.
In life he wore them with pride and
in death they buried him under the
white and blue.
After these services the sad process
sion made it's way to the silent City
of the Dead where, after a ray by
Mr.. Reddish and singing by the choir,
all that was mortal of Mark w. Farmer
was laid to rest in beautiful Maple
wood.
There were many pretty floral tri-
butes sent by relatives and friends of
the deceased.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Raleigh, N. ., June

Raleigh, N. ., June Z.
The weather for the week ending
Monday, June 9Th, was normal in tenn
perature, though there We're several
rather cool nights, and 1t was rather
dry. Bright days were the rule, and
the conditions, on the whole, were ia
vorable for farm work and for growth
of crops, though the drought is be-
coming rather serious in the south and
west portions of the state. Damage by
hail occurred on May Goth and a few
other dates in twenty-five counties.
Farmers made good Roadway in clean
ing and c~ultivating crops. Harvesting
wheat and oats is under way and re-
suits will be better than expected.
Light showers and warmer weather
are needed now.
Eastern District-The week was
rather cool, but dry and sunny, and
very favorable for farm work. Show
ers occurred on two days. Farmers
have worked hard to get crops clean
and nice again. Reports as to the con
dition and progress of crops are gen.
orally favorable, but very much dam
age to various crops was done over
scattered areas by severe hail storms
occurring chiefly on May Both. The
counties which suffered most were
Washington, Pasquotank. Nash, Jones,
Northampton, Pitt, Halifax, BERTHE
and Hartford. Cotton is grassy and
needs chopping in north portion; is
growing fairly we'll, but needs warmer
nights. Corn made good progress and
farmers have commenced killing it in
south portion; stand of lowlands poor.
Planting peas and setting sweet po-
tato slips continue. Rice is doing well;
also tobacco. A heavy crop Of Irish
potatoes is being shipped somewhat
earlier Than last year. Harvesting
continues; yield of small grains will be
good.

Bad management keeps more peo-
pie in poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful one
must look ahead and plan ahead so
that when a favorable opportunity
presents itself he is ready to take adj
vantage of it. A little forethought
will also save much expense and valu-
able time. A prudent and careful nan
will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy in the house, the shiftless fellow
will wait until necessity compels it
and then ruin his best horse going for

then wonders why his neighbor is get.

SPYING OUT THE LAND.
Lieutenant Whitney's Trip Through
the spanish Posts i'm Porto Rico.

New York, June Lieutenant Hen
ry H. Whitney, Fourth United States
artillery, who has twice penetrated
into the very heart of Spanish terri
tory, once in Cuba and lastly in Porto
Rico, arrived here today on the Brit
ish steamer Ardanrose from Porto
Rico. Through him the war depart
ment will soon be in possession Of i'm
portant and accurate information con-
corning the military strength and
defences of the island.
The Porto Rican mission was under
taken under orders from the depart
ment to travel through the most
strongly fortified places and the head
quarters Of military bodies and OBJ
serve their strength and the prepara-
tions the commanders had made to re-
sist occupation by the American
troops.
Lieutenant Whitney made the journ-
ey with great expedition. He found
5000 volunteer troops and 4 800 regulars
in and about Ponce. The soldiers
were sickly, however, and discomfort
ed for lack Of pay. Food he found TO
be alarmingly scarce and that fact,
combined with the American senti-
ment pervading the towns. inclined
him to the belief that If the United
States troops did not invest the island
within a month the inhabitants would
turn upon the Spaniards and drive
them out.
