In Memory of Ernest Burrill.
A TRIBuTE TO FATHER.

A TRIBUTE TO FATHER.
The angel of death has come once more
And taken onr JOY and pride;
And father has gone to that heavenly throne
Where the angels of God reside.
Our father dear is in his grave,
He cannot hear our weeping,
Quietly he lays at rest,
Beneath the willow he's sleeping.
A last farewell he has received
From those who bore him home,
No more We'll hear his footsteps sound,
No more We'll see him roam.
And in his cold and silent grave
No wind nor storm can shake him;
No earthly music reach his ear,
No mortal tongue awake him.
He's slit ng by his Masters side,
mid the true and blest;
He's free from ain aud earthly care
He's gone to a home of rest.
And if the Saviour words are true
Well meet to part no more;
Well see our dear father
On that far distant shore.
Father. thou hast left us,
We no more thy face shall see;
But in our loving memory
Thou shalt ever be.

hero, John Paul Jones, it is at
this port the landing ought to be
made. 1t was from this port that
John Paul sailed on some Of his
most venturesome cruises. It is
from Philadelphia that his COM
missions are dated. Singularly
enough, it was on the vessel con-
fded to John Paul by congress
that the first national flag was
hoisted and the official record is
something of a romance. The event
is thus recorded in the journals
of Congress:
"Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and
| white, in a blue field, represent
ing a new constellation.
"Resolved, That Captain John
Paul Jones be appointed to COM
mand the ship Ranger"
Jones had before this suffered
untold afronts from the naval
committee, though he had fairly
clothed Washington's when
it was most in need of clothes, by
his captures from the British. In
the meanest Of improvised YES
sells he had boldly attacked the
British conveys, and in every at
tempt he had won his prey. For
months at a time, while the Brit

three prizes a week; frequently a
prize a day. Yet the jealousy OF
the native rank and file in the
navy kept him back, and to the
end he vas cheated out of his
ranking number in the navy list,
With the Ranger he crossed the
Atlantic, and for a year became
the terror of the British coasts.
One of the objects he had most
at heart was the capture Of
enough Britons to make the en-.
envy exchange prisoners taken il
the colonies, who we're treated in
the most barbarously inhuma1
manner in British bulks and for
tresses.

BUSINESS CHANGE.

coed HIM
coed III

sale grocer, Who Las i'teh dlrecIly
connected with tie ,uslness IN
terests of Goldsborc for the past
Is years, has sola his grocery
business and good vii to Messrs.
b. Frank Best and John L. CHM,
who will conduct the business
along the same lines at the same
stand, on the orner Of Walnut
and John streets.
The deal, which had been under
negotiation for several days, was
finally consummated last night
and an inventory Of stock is being
taken to-day.
The purchasers Of the stock
are not by any means new men
In the business. Mr.. Best has
been at work for Mr.. Pipkin for
the past nine years. He is,
therefore, we'll acquainted with
the public and has many friends
among the wholesale trade who
will be gratifed to learn that
he is in business for himself.
MI John T. CHM, the other
partner in the transaction, has
been IN the retail grocery bust
ness in Goldsboro, at the corner
of John and Ash streets, for a
number of years. He is no less
popular with the retail trade than
is his partner with the wholesale
trade. He has by fair dealings
and courteous treatment increased
his business from year to year
and his many patrons and friends
will learn with pleasure Of this
his latest enterprise, which is Of
course indicative Of prosperity.
The retirement Of MI Pipkin
from the mercantile business will
be sincerely regretted by the
trading public in general and by
his army Of customers especially,
for he was ever cheerful, hopeful
and courteous, and to his indom-
liable energy is due not only his
own success, but, in large meas
ure, the success of the great
watermelon industry of this sec
ton, that has brought so many
dollars to the farmers hereabouts
from lands that would otherwise
have been absolutely proitless.
He has in this regard, therefore,
been indeed public benefactor,
and-what is not always the
case-the people whom he has
thus benefited appreciate him as
such and he will ever hold a
warm place in their hearts.
This move on the part of Mr..
Pipkin does not mean his loss to
us as a citizen, for he holds firmly
to the abiding truth that we've
got the best town in the State /.
It will, on the contrary, give him
freer latitude to indulge in his
propensity for trucking, and we
may, consequently, expect to see
planted in these parts the coming
ceason the biggest crop of truck
and watermelons on record.
Then, too, he will have more
time and opportunity to elaborate
his excursion exploits for next
Summer, and there is no telling
but what he may run one to the
Paris Exposition. "Pipkin's Elk
cursion" is a household word
and he does not propose to retire
from the business that has afford
ed and will continue to afford sc
many people profitable sight-see
ing and pleasure, now that h
has reached the acme of renow1
in that business.
In all his avocations Mr.. Pipkil
will have the best wishes of thu

gentlemen who succeed him il
