A Former Pastor at Scotland Neck.

To The COMMONWEALTH In the
throng that attended the commence
ment at Wake Forest, it was pleasant
to greet Rev. T. J, Rookie, my immed-
late predecessor in the pastorate at
Scotland Neck. Time has dealt gent
ly with him. He does not look a day
older thar when first met him nearly
aquarter of century ago. It may be
| that the occasion gave him an alert
ness of look and movement which be
does not usually wear. He had come
to witness the graduation Of one OF his
sons who had not only won the yal-
edictory but taken the highest marks
ever given by Wake Forest to one OF
her graduates. His grade was ninety
nine aud one-tifth. t have thought
that this Bit OF news from the COM
mencement migt interest some of your
Scotland Neck readers who still hold
their former pastor in loving remem-
brance.
Mr.. Rookie, finding that the college
expenses were rather heavier than he
could bear with ease, determined to
tighten them by boarding himself.
This he did, purchasing his own pro-
visions and cooking them himself. 1t
is net strange tina. man with such a
spirit should win college honors or
that several excellent positions should
have been rendered him before he
graduated.
Next to Mr.. Rookie the man who
won the highest honors was the son of
another Baptist preacher, Rev. J. Q
Adams, the beloved pastor of the flock
at ReidsvilIe. His grade was ninety
nine. He has brother who gradual
ed with credit in the same class.

Death Of Miss Came Amanda All.brool.

On the morning Of June s, 1901, in
Scotland Neck, Miss Carrie Amanda
Allsbrook. daughter of Mr.. B. I. and
Mrs. Della Allsbrook, aged "a years,
peacefully passed away. Thus she leaves
father and mother, brothers and sisters,
in weeping and distress at their loss
ana large circle of friends mourn In
sympathy with them.
Brief were the years of this dear
young lady ON earth. But. no doubt,
she had as bright anticipation of life
with its pleasures and enjoyments, its
labors and rewards, as any Of her youth
full friends and companions. But in
the inscrutabIe providence of God, it
was not His will that she should real
ize the things hoped for on earth.
But she was called to seek the dura-
able riches, and the crown that fades
not by many months of pain, and
through much suffering, anxious days
and weary nights, and in the deep,
secret, subtle soul of paryer, that no
ear heard, but the ear of her spiritual
Father, God, who answered out of the
realms OF peace and light, "Come home,
my child, lay down your burden OF
flesh, and come to me and find rest for
your SOUL" So she passed from the
things seon to the things not seen, the
spiritual and eternal.
And in the calm afternoon OF Sun.
day, June 9th, about FIVE O'Clock, In
the presence of large gathering of
people, the remains we're gently borne
to the grave in the cemetery of the
Baptist church. The burial service of
the Episcopal church wa, read, and
while hymn, claiming the lore and
mercy of the Savior was being sung,
the last sad rites of the sepuiture were
completed.
Then the beautiful wreaths of lovely
fl )wers were arranged on the grave,
the benediction was given, and the large
{: g emily silently dispersed, carrying
'ay in their hearts, no doubt, the
solemn sense, that 'in the midst of life
we are in DEATH"

"Soon after the CEREMONY they left
on the Atlantic Coast Line train for
Washington and other Northern cities.
"Miss Clark is splendid young
lady, perfect In figure, and as lovely in
character as she is in person, and the
many handsome and valuable presents
she received attest to some degree the
love and esteem in which she is held
in the community.
"Mr. Lawrence is native of Scot
land Neck and holds an important
position here with the Atlantic Coast
Line. He is one of the most popular
young men in town and his many
