Sermon 10 the Soldiers,

At the Methodist Protestant church
Sunday morning Rev. j. S. Williams
preached a special sermon to the
Vance Guards. A large congregation
was present and the services were
greatly enjoyed. The music was a
special feature. Mrs r. P. Watson
assisted the choir and sang with
good effect, as she usually does. Her
solo Il Shall See Him Face to Face
was appropriate to the occasion and
was rendered with that delicacy of
sweetness and expression for which
Mrs. Watson is noted as one of our
sweetest singers.
Mr.. Williams is the Company's
chaplain and it is always a pleasure
to the soldier boys to have him
preach to them. Capt W. X. Sturges
was in command, assisted by First
lieutenant Geo. E. Perry and Second
Lieutenant B. f. Payne. Mr.. Will
llams preached Il good sermon, char
acterized by thoughtful consideration
and earnestness of manner and his
hearers felt that it was good to be
there.

GOOD MAN DEAD.
Capt. T. n. Fleming, OF Loulsburg.
Dies from the Effects of an Opera
ton Performed In Baltimore.

From the Louisburg Times of last
week We take the following which
will be read with melancholy interest
by many people in this community
who knew the dead man well. Capt.
Fleming was a brother of County
Commissioner John A. Fleming. and
was greatly esteemed by all who
knew him. The Times saws:
A lew weeks ago Capt. T. NJ. Fleming
left here and went to Johns Hopkins
Hospital. baltimore, to have an opera
ton performed. The operation was. ap-
parently successfully performed, and his
condition for some days seemed to i'm
prove, but complications ensued, and he
gradually grew worse until death re-
LEVIED him last Sunday morning. The
news OF his death was received here with
sadness, as al of our people were fond of
Capt. Fleming. He was pleasant and
kind TO all. and had few. if any enemies
in this community. He was put in
charge OF the Louisburg Railroad mme-
diately after its completion and remained
in charge until his departure for Balti-
more. The few accidents that have Oc-
Cured on this road is attributable to
capt. tlemlngs reliability as an engi-
neer and the careful manner in which he
always conducted the affairs of the road
His remains We're taken to Raleigh for
interment. The NeWs-Obserrer of Tues
day SAYS:
The funeral services Were conducted at
the First Baptist church by Rev W. d.
Hubbard. All of Capt FIeming's chill
drsn were here to attend the funeral and
there was a large gathering of friends
and hponfif, nj dIr I l.
The interment was in lakewood and the
pall-bearers We're Messrs j. H. Briggs,
X. II. Bradley. B. X. Lacy, Anderson
Belts, G. w. Norwood. J. =. Arlington
and L. d. Heartt.
The funeral was under the auspices of
the Masons, Capt. Fleming having been
a Royal Arch Mason.
Captain T. Mortimer Fleming was
born siXty-seyen years ago at Exchange,
Warren county. He was the son of Jer-
einiah Middleton Fleming When quite
young man Capt. Fleming became con-
nected with the old Raleigh & CASTOR
Railroad and remained with the compa-
ny Tor fOrty-five years. After severing
his relations with the company, some
fifteen years ago, he went to Louisburg,
where he has Slice resided.
Captain Fleming married Miss DOME
Alley, OF Raleigh, and four children sur
vlve this union. They are Messrs Van
Fleming, OF Atlanta; George Middleton
Fleming, OF Charlotte; Percy Fleming, of
Raleigh, and DR.. Arthur H. Fleming, of
Louisburg. Capt. Jennings second
wife, formerly Mrs. Spivey, of Franklin
county, died several years ago.
Captain Fleming was a man who made
many friends and he was esteemed by all
who knew him. An earnest member of
the Baptist church he lived up to high
standard. His many friends and ac-
qua'ntances in this city depIore his death
and deeply sympathize with his bereaved

Education for Farmers and Farmers
Sons.

A great opportunity is offered
young farmers and farm boys to get
training in scientific agriculture at
the A. & NJ. College this winter. The
winter course in Agriculture and
Dairying begins January2, 1903 and
lasts ten weeks This is at a time
when hundreds of farmers can be
spared from their work, permitting
them to obtain this important train
ing that will mean dollars and cents
to them. Practical instructions in
all phases of farm life is given: one
young man of last years class de-
clared that he made two hundred
dollars after he got home by having
learned some of the principles of feed
ing.
The training is a paying invest
ment to the farm boy. We hope all
will attend who can. The College
charges nothing for its work; the
only expense is the students board,
room, books, etc, which altogether
amounts to only thirty dollars.
Plan to attend the course, if you
have not already received q circular
write to Professor Chas VIM. Bur
kett, West Raleigh, n. c., for full in
formation.

DEATH OF Mr.. N. LEHMAN.
Summons Came Suddenly Last Thurs
day Night.

The community was greatly
shocked and panied last Friday
morning to learn that Mr.. Nathan
Lehman had died the night before
The summons came suddenly about
II o'clock, the result of hemorrhage
from a ruptured blood vessel Mr.
Lehman had not been in good health
for some time although he appeared
to be physically strong He had
bronchial trouble and his lungs were
affected producing a cough which
distressed him great deal at times.
Thursday night he had a violent
coughing spell and ruptured a blood
vessel. Severe hemorrhage followed
and within few minutes he was
dead.
Mr.. Lehman was fifty years old
He had been a resident of Henderson
"a years the 10th of November.
There was not a better known citi-
zen and at one time he was one
among the most prominent and sue
cessful business men OF the town.

years he was the leading clothier and
furuisher of Henderson. The firm
was n & W. Lehman Upon the
death of his brother William several
years ago Mr.. Nathan Lehman sue
ceeded to the business and has since
conducted it in his own name. He
prospered and erected a splendid
three-story store house on Main
street besides accommodating other
property But reverses came and of
late years his business had fallen off
and he became involved in debt.
This worried him a great deal but he
was still hopeful of the future and
confident that it held better things
in store for him. He had started
with nothing and had made money
and he could do it again, he was
wont to say.
Mr.. Lehman was q native of Ger
many and was proud of the "Fader-
land" He belonged to the German
army and served in the Franco-Prus
sian war. Although quite young he
was proud of the part he bore in that
memorable struggle and delighted to
talk about it with his friends. After
serving his time in the army Mr..
Lehman came to the United States,
settling in Farmville, Va, where he
married. He leaves a wife and four
children, three sons and daughter.
He was a kind and indulgent father,
devoted to his family and true to his
friends.
The body was taken to Petersburg,
Va, and buried in the Hebrew ceme-
terry Sunday afternoon.

CANDLESTICKS AS GIFTS.

Antique Treasures Which May BE
Found In Junkshops.
Candlesticks are decorative, utilitari-
an and thoroughly good form. What,
then, could be more acceptable for
Christmas gifts?
A pair of highly polished brass can
dlesticks give an air of distinction to
even the humblest surroundings. Their
polish reflects the thrift Of the house
keeper, and their presence denotes her
good taste.
The genuine antique candlesticks,
with their quaint. simple outlines, are
preferable to the more modern affairs
that are apt to be tritie too ornate
for really good effect The candlesticks
may often be bought in junkshops for
their gross weight. and many beautiful
specimens have been picked up in this
way by the clever and industrious col
icctor.-New York journal.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replenishes
her supply OF Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. 1t is certain to be needed before the
winter is over, and results are much
more prompt and satisfactory when it
is kept at hand and given as soon as the
cold is contracted and before it has be-
come settled in the system. In almost
every instance a severe cold may be
warded off by taking this remedy freely
as soon as the first indication OF the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving
it to children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.
