AN INFANTS DEATH.
Our Community Mourn 1t AS a
Personal Sorrow.

Personal Sorrow.
Monday night at o'clock, after an
illness of three weeks Of fever, at the
| home of the parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
E.. B. Dewey, the Death Angel took
from them their infant daughter and
only child, Edith Brownrigg, fifteen
months old, and in this sad vista
ton and irreparable bereavement
they have the unspeakable sympathy
of our entire community, for every
one, old and young alike, had come
to love this sweet babe, and dailyand
hourly during it's weeks of illness
have we all sought news from it's
bedside and hoped for it's recovery,
and to-day sorrow broods in every
home of our community and the ten-
derest solicitude of our hearts goes
out to the fond parents whom God
has thus so sorely chastened.
Leaves have their time to fall.
And flowers to wither at the North winds
breath.
And stars to set, but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own. o DEATH
But the love of human hearts and
the wealth of human sympathy,
however sweetly uttered from lips,
know r true, cannot soothe the
sorrow that such deaths bring into
lives that have been intertwined with
those of the dear ones we mourn:
only He who is from everlasting to
everlasting-infinite in love and
abiding in mercy, can succor and
sustain while His inscrutable dis
pensations fall upon us.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at 10 O'Clock from the home,
Rev. DIR. M. M. Marshall, rector of
Christ Church, Raleigh, who bap-
tised and married the mother and
baptised little Edith some months
ago, officiating, assisted by Rev. F.
w. FAIRIES, pastor Of the Presbyte-
rian church.
The interment was made in beau
tiful Willow Dale cemetery, where
beneath a teeming wealth of beauti-
full flowers, sweet tributes of sympa-
from friends absent and near, the
baby form will await the awakening
touch of the Resurrection Angel, in
good time.

REUNION THURSDAY
The Annual Reunion of Confederate
Veterans Held at Pine Forest
Was a Brilliant Occasion.

The annual reunion of Thos. Ruff.
fin Camp Confederate Veterans OF
Wayne county, held Thursday at
Pine Forest, in Fork township, was
perhaps the most enjoyable one ever
held by the camp since its organize
tion IS years ago.
Besides a goodly number of Vet
Grams IN attendance a large number
of the sons and daughters Of the Vet
Grams were present. We do not think
we have ever seen a better spread
table at any picnic ever attended.
Hams, barbecue, chickens, pies,
cakes, and pickles that were prepar-
ed by the good people of that section
in abundance, and in such style as
would have tickled the palates of an
epicure. Nothing occurred to maj
the pleasure of any one, but every
one present seemed to be perfectly
happy. 1t was a great pleasure to
be with such a people.
AT the meeting of the camp the
following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
w. II. Smith, Colonel.
Jno. HI. Hill, Lieut.. Colonel.
DR.. J. B. Kennedy, Major.
a. 3. Hollowell, Adjutant.
DR.. Thos. Hill, Surgeon.
Il. P. Howell, Quarter Master.
j. f. Hill, Captain.
A resolution was passed endorsing
tie action of the committee on the
Soldiers Home for Wayne county
and urging it to renewed effort for
building the home at the very earli-
est possible time, pledging them
selvei to do all in their power to
hasten the construction of it.
Speeches were made in advocacy
of erecting a home for INDECENT Ex-
Confederate Soldiers by DR.. J. F.
Miller, Messrs. J. II. Hill, A. B.
Hollowell and others, and about
$500 was raised among the members
of the camp and other citizens pres
ent.
No worthier cause claims the at
tention of the people than this. We
are satisfied that the citizens of our
good old county will respond liber-
ally to SO good a cause and we hope
by Christmas to have the home
erected and ready for occupancy. It
is badly needed.
There are at least in this county
40 of the poor old fellows who ought
now to be in such a home. There
is ne room in the State Home for
them, and provision will have to be
made for them here. Wayne county
was first in North Carolina to send a
company to the Confederate Army.
It sent more soldiers to the army
than any other county (nineteen
companies), and we believe it is the
first to take action toward the cree
ton of a home for them.

THOUSANDS Of women suffer from
| systemic catarrh. This is sure to
produce such symptoms as colo feet
and hands, sick headache, paIpitation of
the heart and heavy feelings in the
stomach.
Then begins a series of experiments
with medicine. They TAX medicine for
SICK headache. They take medicine for
nervous prostration, for palpitation of
the heart, for dyspepsia. None of these
medicines do any good because they do
not reach the cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once m~itigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
tem1c catarrh pervades the whole svs-
tern, ederanges every organ weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

tress of Drum, S. c., writes:

some FEW ADVANTAGES.
WHICH THE RAILROADS
HAVE GIVEN TO
GOLDSBORO.
The Latest Is a Mail Service Which
Brings New York Papers
the Same Day They
Are Printed.

Whatever OF prejudice that might
exist against railroads in this sec
ton OF the State should be dispelled
by the manner in which Goldsboro
has been treated by the railroads. 1t
can be said truly that the railroads
have certainly been good to the Gem
City of the Plains. From time to
time all three of the important lines
which centre here have madeimprove
ments in their service which have
been Invaluable to the citizens of our
progressive town as well as a great
convenience to the travelling pub
lie.
Beginning first with the A. & N.
G. r. R., which under the able adj
ministration of president Bryan has
given us a double daily mail and
passenger service between here and
the other terminus at Morehead
City. We can then recall with pleas
ure what the great Southern Rail-
way has given Goldsboro. It does
not require a very old person to rec
ollect the time when the Southern
only gave us n passenger and one
freight train each way every day.
Now we have three passenger trains
each way over that line together
with a local freight, which also car
ries passengers. s.
1t would be a difficult task to i'm
prove upon this service, and the peo-
pie are not unmindful of the great
c~onveniences and advantages which
this excellent service offers.
And then comes the Atlantic Coast
Line, which has also shown great con-
s~ideration for Goldsboro. 1t is not
very difficult for the young people
of G~oldsboro to recollect when the
old Wilmington and Weldon road
only gave us one passenger train
each way every day. Some few years
ago that road put on what is known
as the shoofy, which passed through
here, as it does now, in the morning
early, and returned between 9 and
10 o'clock at night.
About three years ago i twas found
that still another train
would be of much benefit to Colds
boro, and a train was put on to run
between here and Norfolk, leaving
here in the morning for the north
and returning in the evening. This
train has been running without a
mail a until recently, when a
mail service has been put on which
brings the New York papers to
Goldsboro the same day they are
printed, a convenience that has not
been enjoyed since the Atlantic
Coast Lines fast trains were trans
ferred to the Fayetteville short cut.
By this last addition to the mail
service a person can write a letter
here in the morning and get an an
swer from Norfolk that night. The
Southern Railway now brings us
mail from the extreme south and
the Atlantic Coast Line brings it
from the extreme north the same
day, while the A. & N. G. gives us
two trains a day from the seacoast
and enables the citizens of Goldsboro +,
to obtain the delicacies of the sea in
a few hours after they come from
the water. With these and many
other. advantages which are at Our
door it is no wonder that the wheels |
of progress are turning more rapidly |
of late.
