Jackson. northampton county. died
AT his home after an lines of only.
four or five days with pm eumonia on
Sunday. March 9th. Deceased was a
brother of our townsman Col VIM
H. 5. Burgwyn. and was himself a
resident of Henderson at one time.
He was a man Of most excellent
traits OF character and was held in
high esteem by all who knew him.
Mr.. Burgwyn had for more than
seven Years been Treasurer of his
county and the faithfulneSs. fidelity.
satisfaction and uniform courtesy
with which he discharged his duties
is attested by the resolutions adopt
ed by the Board of Commmi> Sioners
OF Northampton. as published else
where in this paper.
His county paper the Patron and
Cleaner SAYS:
From every point in the county come
expressions of sorrow at the death of
Mr.. John Alveston Burgwyn We hope
in the near future to give some Incl
dents in his life and more extended re-
view of his life and character.
The Woodland correspondent of
the same paper says:
1t was with surprise and much regret
that the intelligence OF the death of our
honored County Treasurer, Mr.. J, A.
Burgwyn, was received by our people Oh
Sunday. 1t was felt that one of the II ost
courteous and powerful characters and
best business men had gone to that
bourne from which no traveller returneth.
1T was counted one of the great privileges
of life to know Mr.. Burgwyn.
From the Weldon Roanoke News we
take the following:
Mr.. j. A. Burgwyn died at his home at
Jackson last Sunday morning, of pneu-
monia, aged about As years.
Deceased was one of the most highly
esteemed citizens of Northampton
county and his death was almost a sud
den one, as he was sick only three or
four days. For a number of years he
was treasurer of the county and no man
i'll the community had more friends.
The funeral services were held in the
Episcopal church a Jackson of which he
was consistent communicate, last
Monday afternoon. The services we're
feelingly conducted by Rev J. T. Cham
bers, rector OF the parish. The large
number of people who attended attested
the high esteem in which the deceased
was held. The crowd is said to have
been the largest ever seen there at a fu-
neral before. Every one wanted to pay
the last sad tribute to their friend and
nelghbor. May his soul rest in peace

AGED TWINS.
Vance County a Good Second to Har-
nett, and Goes it One Better in Pro-
ducing the Oldest Twin Sisters.

The GOLD LEAF published last
| week a sketch of the oldest twins in
North Carolina, Hugh and Hector
Mclean, of Harnett county, whose
ages are SO years. 1t may be claimed
that Vance county has the next old
est twins in the State, certainly as far
as is known.
Messrs Thomas and VIM. L. Moss
were born in 1922, hence are 76 years
old. The former lives six miles
from Henderson near Union Chapel
and the latter about one mile from
kittrell, and have always resided
within few miles of their birth
place.
Both were married in early man
hood but their wives have been dead
a number of years and they have
never married again. William was
blessed with family of seven chill
dren and his brother Thomas reared
one.
The brothers are very remarkable
men, and honorable, upright citizens.
They are hale and hearty and still
able to make good support.
Thomas is member of Union
Chapel NJ. Z. church, while William
is deacon Of Sims Chapel, Baptist
church
They are quite active for men of
their ages, carrying on their farm
work in all its branches, plowing or
doing anything that comes to hand.
They believe in hard work and tenn
perance in all things.
These remarkable men are bro tn
ers of Mr.. Charles Moss, of this
county, and uncles of Mr.. W. f.
Moss. one Of the popular statesmen at
Samuel Watkins.
Vance also comes forward with
perhaps the oldest twin sisters in
the State. They are Mrs. Mary g.
Ayscue, wife of Capt. Charles f.
Ayscue, of Henderson, and Mrs.
Martha l.. Parham, who lives near
town. Their maiden name was
Peasants. They were born in 1882
and are therefore &c years old.
Early in life they acquired a spe-
cial fondness for reading, which they
still retain to a remarkable degree,
spending considerable time in keep
ing their minds informed with good
reading. Their desire for literature
is equal to the warm, sincere atfec-
ton the sisters have always enter
tanned for each other.
The close resemblance of these la
dies was always very striking. A
true story is told on Mr.. Ayscue that
when he was seeking the hand of the
lady who afterwards became his wife
it was with considerable difficulty
at times that he could distinguish
one from the other. And when the
wedding day came the sisters APP
peared similarly dressed. The groom
approached looking slightly embar-
rassed and undecided as to whom he
was to marry, and when asked which
one he would take, replied that
either would do.

most every lawyer in Raleigh, and sew

ings, with two insignificant excep-
