These Good Women put Many of us
the Blush

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-I noticed
made by Bro. Shaw, and published
in last weeks paper showing the
sacrifice of one of his faithful Chris
tian ladies in walking nearly 124
miles through all weather, in the
discharge of duty to her church,
during the past year. There is a
lady member in the Baptist church
who lives 800 yards from the church.
During the past year she has
attended three services week for
45 weeks and II meetings of the
Sunbeam Society during the year,
making, 81 in all--walking 1900
yards each trip or 444,6O0 yards oil
252 miles during the year. These
remarks should put many Christians
to the blush who neglect theil
church duty, when it is too warm
when it is too cold, TOO wet or too
dry. 'Who shall be the greatest il
the Kingdom of Heaven?'
Surely these quiet and unassum
ing sisters who delight in the worl
of the Lord and are ever willing tx
make any sacrifice in His cause
shall shine so bright in the Kingdom
that most of us will be made tt
cry unworthy. unworthy" Thes'
examples of Christian sacrifice con
denim me. for unfaithfulnesS.
thank Bro Shaw for his rebukc t
those of us who have consulted oul
own ease rather than duty.

Death of Mr.. Will LOugiyiin.

Mr.. William L. Loughlin, profess
Sionallv known as William CASTILLO,
died in St. Vincent's Hospital, Nor
folk, Wednesday of last week, Dec.
2Sth Deceased was brother of
Messrs. David G.. and Arthur E.
Loughlin, of Henderson, and was well
known here where he spent much Of
his time s.between seasons His
death causes profound regret to all
who knew him. OF temperate habits,
agreeable nature, honest ami straight
forward, he was greatly liked. Pro-
fes,onally he was one Of the clever
est men in the business and command
ed a high salary, engagements being
always open to him with the principal
circuses touring this and foreign
countries.
Mr.. Loughlin entered the profession
in 1881, training with his brother
David. He was finished artist in his
line and as an all round acrobat, gym
mast, leaper and aerial performer had
few equals. In his career he visited
seven different countries and had
been seen here with Sells Brothers
and in local entertainments on the
trapeze and horizontal bar and other
performances.
In August, 1897, while filling an en-
gagement with Sells Bros. at Lynn,
Mass, Mr.. Loughliu received a fall
which disabled him. He went to
Michigan that winter, but the climate
aggravated his trouble. He had been
playing in tropical climates the pre-
viOus winter and the change was too
radical. His lungs became involved
and he died of quick consumption.
He had been in the hospital about a
month going there for the purpose of
having a simple operation performed.
But he was too weak at the time and
continued to decline until the end
came.
His brothers David and Arthur, and
his uncle Mr.. J. J. Loughlin, ST., of
Warrenton, went down to Norfolk in
response to kilograms and attended
| the funeral, which occurred at 1C
o'clock Thursday morning. The in
| terment was in Elmwood Cemetery. A
large delegation from Norfolk Lodge
| No. SO, p. p. o. Elks, OF which de-
ceased was member, attended.

NOT TO BE SCARED OR CAJOLED.
A Lady Wipes up the Earth With a
Needle 1an.

Some time ago there was sent to
lady living in the lower part of the
county package of needles (pur-
porting to contain 20 papers when in
reality there were but 1S) without
any solicitation on her part. They
came in her absence and supposing
it was all right were taken from the
post Office by some member of the
family. Subsequently request for pay
came from the concern which sent
them out. No attention was paid
thereto in the absence of the lady.
Finally threat was made to put the
claim in the hands of an attorney or
expose the party by publication in
the papers' This much by way Of
explanation and now we will let the
lady speak Or herself In reply to
the impairment threat of this
rascally and extorting needle concern
the lady in question wrote postal
card (she would not waste 2-cent
stamp and stationery on them) of
which the following is an exact copy:
Sir:-The package OF needles sent to
Manson, n. c., in my name, containing
eighteen papers-purporting to contain
twenty-is still in my possession If
this postal, will ship them back to you.
Miss -- desired me to say the same

say a few words to you. Who gave you

name in any unpleasant way il you dare,
and you will think cyclone has strHc',

tainly walked up the wrong passenger this

In few days thereafter the writer
of the postal received an envelop
containing 2-cent and a 1-cent
stang. But that was all, they made no
| reply. We learn that other ladies
in the same neighborhood have
received packages Of needles, cheap
jewelry and the like from the same
concern unsolicited. If they fail to
scare or coerce the parties into pay
ing for the things they lose but little
and those paid for puts the concern

attention to matter which concerns
persons using the mails. In mailing
packages or letters the sender should be
careful to have them properly stamped.
Scarcely day passes that letters are
not deposited in the post office un-
stamped-or what is equivalent-with
revenue stamps attached. In such cases
it is the postmaster duty to notify the
person addressed that such mail matter
is held for postage and on receipt OF
stamp will be forwarded. In the mean
time the sender is ravirg mad because
his or her letter is not answered. Short
postage on first-class matter Oettcrs) is
common occurrence. In these cases the
letter is forwarded with the amount due
stamped on the envelope When the
envelopes bear request to return. our
postmaster usually notifies the sender
(as an accommodation but is under no
obligations to do so. Much mail 10
deposited addressed to the proper post
Office but wrong State, or the right State
and wrong post Office. and SO on through
long list of mistakes. Much trouble
