A RUSH TO DELAWARE PARK,
Twelve Excursions Already Booked
for the Month of June.

In spite OF the late spring and COM
parativeIy cool weather OF May, the ex-
curslOn fever seems to have taken pOs-
session OF everybody.
Early i'll the month over 1000 people
went to Delaware Park for the day, and
instead of being jaded by the jaunt re-
Turned refreshed; for cOnveniences and
diversions afford one an opportunity for
rest and creature comforts in the midst
of pleasure.
AS many as twelve excursions are
already booked for Juneby the Seaboard
Air Line and unless prompt application
is made for the grounds there certainly
will be difficulty in securing suitable ar
engagements.
Outing parties, picnic parties, associa-
tons, convention parties, Sunday school
parties, all kinds of parties should apply
at once to l.. S. Allen, General Passenger
Agent, Seaboard Air Line, Portsmouth,
Va.
There will be q rush all the summer for
this resort which is growing phenomenally
in popular favor. There is fine fishing
and boating for the children on the
famous NOttoway river flowing pictur-
esquely at the foot of the breezy and
winding hills of the Park. The spot is
beautifully situated forty miles from
Norfolk and 13O miles from Raleigh
covering II acres of ground all nclosed
and protected by Il high fence
The observatory commands a rare
stretch OF rolling country and there is
perfectly equipped ten pin alley, merry
go-round. shooting gallery, pavilion for
dancing on the river bank and other
spacious pavilions amply protected
against both storm and sunshine. 4
grand piano is on hand for concerts.
quadrllles and cake walks as the case
may be.
Stages may also be erected for theat-
rIcal or other festive entertainments.
The Park as pleasure ground is not
surpassed IN the South and the water
alone IS destined to make it permanent
summer resort.
There are three Sulphur springs said by
many to be equal in their tonic and alter
native effect to waters of the renowned
Greenbrier White; there are other mineral
springs, also. including the notable
Magnesla spring, the sanitary effects of

There are over one hundred improved

DEATH OF REV. j. II. LAMBEETH.

II is with sincere regret that we
chronicle the death of Rev. Joseph II.
Lamberth, popular and widely
known young Baptist minister, genial
gentleman, and loyal friend. We
first met him 1T Waynesyille in the
summer of 1888. and had ever since
esteemed and admired the man.
He was native of Reidsyilie aud
was about II Years OF age. In the
Biblical Recorder we find the following
brief but atfectionate tribute:
Joe Lamberth," the genial, clever
and generous friend. the beloved and
faithful pastor. the loyal worker for
every OBJ ject of the Baptist Conven-
ton, the devoted follower Of Jesus,
passed away. after protracted i'll
ness, at Roxboro, in the home Of his
dear friend, Mr.. \. K. Foushee, May
2Sth.
This news will burden many hearts
with sorrow Men have had no better
friendship than that Joe Lamberth
ALWAYS gave, and men have not loved
friend more truly than he was
loved. A genial soul is a precious
light in the world, and when it de
parts it is sorelv missed.
Sincere, tender, atrectionatc, and
trimming over with genial spirits,
his presence at various meetings was
a social benediction: humble. de
voted, man of prayer and faith. an
able preacher and magnetic pastor,
wherever he labored it was with re-
markable success. His churches
loved him with complete love.
Joe Lamberth died without an
enemy, numbering his friends by the
extent of his acquaintance. 30
doubt as this paper goes from home
to home hundreds will feel distinct
personal loss.
But it is better for him. He was
ready to depart. There was no
shadow of darkness upon him rs he
looked forward to the valley. His
eyes found long ago the Star that
lights that Valley, and constant to it
in the day of his strength. he found
it constant at the last
Joe Lamberth is in Heaven; Goti be
praised for his life.

VICTIM OF NEGRO FIEND.
Criminal Assault by a Black Brute
Upon a Young White Woman in the
district of Columbia

Last week the GOLD LEAF published
an account Of the narrow escape OF a
negro murderer from being lynched
in the District Of Columbia, as re-
ported in the Washington Post. Since
then a Young white woman has been
the victim of a criminal assault by 4
black brute in human form, the
crime being perpetrated just outside
of Washington while the people in
the city were enjoying the Peace
jubilee celebration. We copy from
the Post:
A black fend, who is still at large,
brutallv assaulted Mrs. Ada Hardy, d
Young white woman near Wesley
Heights, yesterday morning, in the
| absence of her husband at his work.
Mrs Hardy's home is small cottage.
isolated from the few houses-in the
eigborhood, and her two little chill
dren were the only other occupants
when the negro entered and COM
mitted the criminal assault upon the
mother. A spring about
100 yards from the house supplies
the water they use, and Mrs. Hardy
went to this spring yesterday morn
ing, about 9 o'clock. She left her
two children, one an infant and the
other about three years old. in the
| house. The house is half mile
from any other dwelling.
When Mrs. Hardy returned from
| the spring and was about to enter her
house she saw big negro sitting on
a couch in the front room. The
sight of the man frightened her.
Fearing first that the negro might
contemplate an attack upon her
children or the robbery of her home,
Mrs. Hardy armed herself with the
blade of an old scythe and entered
the house. AS soon as the negro saw
Mrs Hardy he drew revolver and
pointed it at her, ordering that she
instantly drop the scythe blade. The
poor woman, who began to recognize
her desperate position, stood irreso-
lutely, but rough-spoken threat to
shoot made her let the weapon fall
from her hand to the floor.
|
Then followed the dastardly crime
for which the perpetrators pay fear
full penalties farther South. The
poor woman's cries were not loud
enough to reach the nearest human
beings, gang of workmen quarter
of mile away, and when she finally
made her way to neighbors' she
was so weak and overcome that she
could hardly speak and told the
story of the outrage with great diff
Guilty.
The crime was quickly reported,
and the police took instant action fo'
the capture of the brute. A large
squad of mounted men were with
drawn from the Jubilee parade and
sent to the scene of the crime, from
which they scattered, following every
clew, but without success.
The story spread, hundreds of men,
many of them armed, began the
search, and if the negro had been
promptly captured and identified by
his victim, the District police would
probably have been spared any trouble
in the matter.

for a graded school in Henderson. II
our neighbors will allow US to say
it. without seeming officiou5, they
will be very much behind the times II
they do not arouse themselves ana

OF course it will take money to do 1t,
but it will be money well spent. AS
an object lesson to the people OF
Henderson who are lukewarm Oh the
subject, the Sun invites them to come
over to Durham and see the work
ines of our splendid schools, and they
will have their minds enlightened
upon the subject. Not only that we
have voted SIC, 600 worth OF bonds 10
erect another school building. We
invite Henderson over to the com
mcnccment on June End, and they
will see the work Of model school,
and the interest manifested in it
Durham Sun.
We thank our esteemed contempora-
nv for its friendly interest and kindly

else but officious We admit all 1t
saws about the workings Of Durham ;
splendid schools and want to see
Henderson pattern after its example.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUr OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
nanently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
