The 1ozart Music Club Entertained by
Mrs. c. M. Cooper.

Time tlies''-a saying trite, but
true; and, certainly, the venerable
old Father seemed to have donned
wings-so swiftly passed the hours
on last Friday evening, when the
Music Club met, by Mrs. c. M.
Cooper's invitation, at her pleasant
home. Those rosy moments, winged
with music and the delights Of social
intercourse, have passed below the
horizon, but they have left behind
them train of bright memories.
The program, under the direction
of Miss Averett, was we'll rendered,
SO say those who composed the audi
ence. The young lalies much ap-
preciate those words of encourage
ment. Beautiful results blossom
forth from praise we'll bestowed.
These young students feel fresh
impetus towards musical heights, as
yet unscaled, but day by day, nearer
and still nearer.
The program concluded, the guests
were ushered into the supper room
where creams and other dainties were
beautifully served. After much
pleasant lingering at the flower
decked tables, there was more music
and ''sweet mingling of talk and
laughter" and then-adieu!
The Club extends to Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper very sincere thanks for a
delightful evening. 1t meets next
at the residence of Mrs. Julia Branch
Thomas, on the evening of June Srd'

CAPT. w. B. SHAWFOR SOLICITOR.
Vance County is Entitled To The
Honor And We Have The Man
For The Place.

The friends of Capt. W. B. Shaw,
OF Henderson, will urge his claims
before the Convention of this Judicial
District for the nomination of Solici-
| tor.
Capt. Shaw is too well known to
require either words Of introduction
or commendation at our hands. He
is a lawyer of acknowledged ability,
painstaking and vigorous in the
prosecution of his cases and is fitted
by temperament and attainments to
| discharge the duties of that office in
a manner creditable to himself and
satisfactory to the State.
Beside from Capt. Shaw's legal ac-
quirements he is one of the strongest
campaigners that could be put up.
He is veteran at the business and
would be more than a match for any
man opposing him. And this is a
qualification not to be overlooked in
the campaign approaching. Power
ful on the hustings, strong, vigorous
and fearless, Capt. Shaw would make
a brilliant campaign and add
strength to the ticket. He is not a
pollution, as the term goes-he has
never been; but this we can say, he has
always been ready to do his utmost
for the cause of the people and his
party.
! Wherever known he is loved for
his upright and manly life. His
friends are not numbered by party
lines-Democrats, Populists and Re-
pulicans, all admire him because they
have confidence in him and know he
will do what is right.
Capt. Shaw has the assurance of
strong support from several counties
and if he can 60 into the Convention
with the Vance delegation solid for
him we have reason to believe the
honor Of having the Solicitor will fall
to our county.
| We say this because we do not
question Capt. Shaw's election if
| nominated.

Death of nrs. Susan 1cNair Tannahlll.
(WarreEtOn RecOr1,)

The whole community was shocked
last Monday morning when word was
passed from one to another that Mr..
Tannahill was dead. Scarcely any one,
| not even the members of her own family
| were expecting the end SO soon or sud
den. Throughout the past winter her
health has not been good, but SO cheer
ful and bright was her disposition at all
times that one could scarcely regard her
condition as serious. The Blessed Master
did not suffer her to pass through the
thrOes of death, but lifted her to His
bosom while in peaceful sleep and took
her to that sweetest resti in Heaven. The
soul departed from its earthly tabernacle
at II 20 a. m. April the 25th, 1898. At
6 p. m. OF same day q short service was
conducted at the house and on Tuesday
| morning the body was taken to Peters
burg, Va, and gently placed to rest by
the side of loved ones who had gone be-
fore
Mrs. Susan McNair Tannahill was
reared in Edgecombe Co., n. c., was hap
PLY married to William Tannahill, of
Washington. n. G., who preceded his wife
to his reward tifty-four years. OF this
union was given six children; three sons
and three daughters. The three sons
are all dead, having risen in their life
time to positions Of prominence and
trust; one being for years President of
the N. Y. cotton exchange.
The three daughters, Mrs. Plummer,
of Petersburg, Mrs. Jones and Miss Eliza
Tannahil of this place, survive tomourn
their loss. May the Lord sustain them
in this hour of sorrow.
Soon after her marriage Mrs. Tanna-
hill united with the Presby terian church
and was at the time of her death men,
Der of Tabb st. Presbyterian church,
Petersburg, Va. Her life was full of kind
and loving deeds. On Friday night be-
fore her death she wrote long letter of
sympathy and encouragement to friend
who was sick Her faculties remained
perfect and vigorous till the last. She
had an abiding faith in her Savior and
took all her troubles to Him.
"Blessed are they which die in the
Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labOrs, and their works do follow them. ]"
"Sleep on, beloved. sleep and take thy
rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's
breast;
We love thee we'll. but Jesus loves the
best
Good night! Good night! Good night!

Scie nee With Grit.

Many scientific remedies for consump-
ton are announced from time to time
which sound we'll, with great unprOnounc. :.
able names back of them. Every one OF
them is an experiment at the expense Of
suffers willing to pay anything for re-
lief from the certain doom of the disease.
Here now comes a new discovery with
something more than high sounding names
and leanings to back it. 1t Is 1he
Guaranteed Consumption Cure. 1t
says The Patient Deserves to Know
That He Can He Cured. 1t has the
Grit to back its scientific claims with
this: 1.-The patient follows in his own
home our very simple directions. When
he is cured he says so, and then we re-
ceive our pay. If not cured. he has had
long course of treatment at our expense,
with a remedy which has cured Is per
cent. of a total of over 400 cases treated.
This company is composed of New York
and Western people who have. after years
of experiment, selected San Antonio,
Texas. as the most favorable climatic
point for the treatment Of consumption and
will maintain its laboratory and general
Offices there and erect magnificent Sani-
tarium for patients who prefer and can
afford change of climate. 1t also has
Offices at Asheville. n. c., where arrange
ments are made for sanitariun accommo-
dations for those preferring higher alti-
tude of San Antonio.
