etery
From the Messengers report of the
regular monthly meeting Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, held on Thursday
January 9Th, we take the following ex-
tract:
President Chadbourn stated that a
northern gentleman who had been in
correspondence with Mr.. J.. w. Nor
wood, president of the Atlantic Ma
tional bank. had been in Wilmington a
few days ago prospecting for a loca-
ton for an Important manufacturing
industry. He met the gentleman and
he was driven around town ara was
much pleased with the city. He ass
40 capital cooperation from our citi-
zens but wanted to ascertain if he
could secure the friendly interest and
encouragement of our people. On mo-
ton the secretary of the chamber was
instructed to write the gentleman a
letter assuring him of the hearty CO.
operation and well wishes Of this cham
Der and Of the people Of Wilmington,
and the committee on industries was
also requested to address him a COM
munication Of similar purport."
The gentleman who visited our city
was Mr.. D. Ashley, head of the firm
of Ashley, Bailey & Co., Of Patterson,
N. j., and the important manufac-
turing industry" for which he sought
a location was a silk factory.
The Messenger is gratified to state
that Mr.. Ashley was SO much impressed
with Wilmington and so we'll pleased
with the hearty encouragement of our
citizens that he has decided to locate
his silk factory in u city. He ar
rived here Tuesday, n or yesterday
closed a deal for five acres Of land
lying on Mill Creek and facing on the
road jus4 opposite the National Gem
etery.
The land was purchased from the
VIM. A. Wright estate, and it will be
surveyed today and the deeds made
out at once for the transfer of the
property.
Mr.. Ashley was introduced at the
special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon and met
many Of our leading citizens. He re-
turned last night to Patterson but will
be back here soon. He to
right away to erect the
buildings for his silk mill, and will nave
it in operation in a few months. The
buildings are to be brick, and if the
industry meets with the success which
is anticipated for it, it will be greatly
enlarged n will no doubt lead to
! other developments.
We learn that Mr.. Ashley's firm has
three silk factories in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.

How TO Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic Of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any ten
dency ofNa cold or la grippe to result
in that dangerous disease.t It is the
best remedy in the world for1bad colds
and Ia grippe. Every bottle warranted.

A SAD DEATH


y
Ing, Inconsoilable, the loss ola
Beloved Daughter.
Mrs. Carrie Boyington, wife of H. |
ID. Boyington, who resides three miles
south of town, died last Monday at
O'Clock p. m. Deceased has been
sufferer for more than year with
What was pronounced consumption.
In May 1898 her only daughter,
Florence, a bright and promising girl
of fourteen years, died suddenly from
an attack of spinal meningitis. The
shock utterly Frustrated the mother.
Her rugged constitution departed
with the death of that loving daugh-
ter. There seemed to be nothing left
for memory to dwell upon that could
soothe the pangs of separation. For
many weeks she appeared to be un-
conscious OF all save her own bereave-
ment.
Last summer her husband sent her
east, hoping the scenes of her child
hood days would wear out the re-
membrance of her sorrow. After
| spending some time at her former
home she returned to the scenes of
her affection, convinced that nothing
| could cure the silent and devouring
melancholy which had entered into
her very soul. She wasted away in a
slow but hopeless decline, and at last
sank into the grave, victim Of con-
sumption--so the physicians say, but
more truly the victim of broken
heart. There is an enduring tender
ness in the love of mother for her
child that transcends all other affec-
tions. A poignant sorrow will some
times make her feel the impotency OF
consolation.
The interment took place on
Wednesday from the Methodist
church, the services being conducted
by Rev. T. G.. Hodgsom. Her re-
mains were deposited beside those OF
the daughter whose life was SO com
mingled with her own that the de-
parture of one caused the untlmely
taking off of the Other. She leaves Il
mourn her death husband and soI
who have the sympathy of this en-
tire community.
