Death of Mrs. Lucy T. Powell.

On Thursday morning at $3.50 o'clock,
October 22nd, death came into the home
of our Confederate Veteran brother, Ed
ward l.. Powell, and took from his side
his faithful companion, Lucy T. Powell.
1t was sndden summons, but her friends
are assured that it found her prepared.
She was Ga years of age last February.
Last January she moved her member
ship from the NJ E. church at kittrell to
the Chapel at the Harriet cotton mill.
She had lived a consistent Christian life
for many years. She was of few words,
and none of them were harmful to her
neighbors or to her loved ones. She never
turned one away from her door hungry.
She was true to her high calling Of wife
and mother.
Her comrade and her children are sore
bereaved. But they have consoling hope
in their sorrow They have much to live
for more than ever. If mother on earth
affords one the very highest earthly incen-
tive to live nobly, what an inspiration
it must be to know that ones mother is
looking upon him from her heavenly
home!
Mrs. Powell's weary body was laid to
rest in the churchyard at Plank chapel,
on Saturday afternoon, October Oath.

Massenburq-Barnard.

The following account OF the mar
rage of Miss Maggie Barnard and
Mr.. Andrew Clifford Massenburg last
week was kindly furnished by a lady
friend at our request:
At high noon, on Wednesday, Oct.
Dist, at the handsome home OF the
brides sister, Mrs. L. D. Stainback,
in this place, Miss Margaret Smith
Barnard was married to Mr.. Andrew
Clifford Massenburg, OF Hampton,
Va.
The bride, attended by her maid of
honor, Miss Leona Currin, entered
the beautifully decorated hall, where
she joined the groom with his best
man, Mr.. H. Stanley Parker, Of
Hampton, Va. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. D. Bundy.
The bride was attired in hand
some going-away gown of blue cloth,
and carried a bouquet of white car
nations. Her maid of honor wore
gown of champagne crepe and pic
ture hat, and carried pink carna-
tions.
Those from a distance were Mrs.
F. A. Rees, OF Hampton, Va, sister
of the groom; Mr.. Fl. Stanley Par
ker, Old Point, Va.
A delightful course luncheon was
served, after which the bride and
groom left for New York and other
Northern cities.
The bride is beautiful and attrac-
tive young lady, daughter OF the late
John NJ. and Maggie Barnard, and
has many friends and admirers here.
The groom is worthy and efficient
young business man, and is held in
high esteem by those who know him.
They will reside in Hampton.

A Towns Territory.

An exchange sizes up the matter
correctly when it says:
The trade territory of town is not all
dependent upon the distance to neighbor-
ing trading points. The trade territory
depends upon the enterprise of the mer-
chants and the residents of the town. If
a town does not reach after trade it will
come only as fast as it has to and will
grow as it is forced to.
But if the merchants go after business
in the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way and making good
every word of their advertising trade
will come from an increasing radius, the
town will gain a reputation for being
awake and will forge to the front 1t is
the men living within a certain number
of miles from it that make the town.
In addition to the above good roads
should be built to the town and every
thing should be done to make visitors
comfortable, and to make them feel at
home

Popular Interest in Seaboard Air Line
Railway.
LumbertOn Robesonian.

Lumberton Robesonian.
Every Southern man along the line
feels that in some degree the Seaboard
Air Line Railway is a Southern en-
terprise, financed by Southern capt.
tai, directed by Southern brains, and
traversing Southern territory. Nat
urally, they feel a pride in it, and it
was with regret that they learned of
the financial disaster threatening
j. William Middendorf & Company, OF
Baltimore, and John l.. Williams &
Sons, OF Richmond. Va, the largest
dealers in its stocks, and who have
furnished much OF the operating cap
ital. 1t is gratifying now to learn
that the committee appointed to in
vestigate their affairs report them in
good shape with assets far in excess
OF liabilities, and recommend that
they be granted the asked for seven
months extension. Their failure
would have materially affected the
road, but with the extension grant
ed, the pressure is relieved, the dan
ger averted.

digested. FORCE ready-to-serve wheat

A DoubIe-Headed Snake.
Newton Enterprise.

Newton Enterprise.
The whole neighborhood two miles
East OF Newton is somewhat excited
over remarkable snake. 1t is copper
head three feet and four inches long,
with two heads. The prongs contain
ing the heads are Ii inches long. One is
a little larger than the other, and indi-
Gated that the snake before it was killed,
could have used one mouth as we'll as
the other. Below the fork it looks like
any other copper head snake This won
derful snake was killed Saturday by
young John Moose, son of Mr.. George
Moose, the blacksmith He went for the
cows late in the afternoon and took his
gun along to kill rabbit. He came
across this snake. He saw that the two
heads, each of which showed fight, were
connected with the same body, and shot
to hit the snake at the largest part of
the body. AS soon as he had killed the
double-headed snake he looked around
and saw another copper head about the
same size but with only one head, and
shot it.
The news Of this curiosity soon spread
over the country, and Mr. E. NJ Travis
tells us hat the double-headed snake
was seen Sunday by at least a hundred
people.

Barnes Big Furniture House.

The advertisement Of Barnes Big
Furniture House speaks for itself
The furniture he sells is not exactly
turned out in this machine made
fashion, to be sure, but at the prices
he sells goods you would think SO.
He has a tremendous stock and the
grade of the goods is higher than he
has ever~handled before. No matter
what you want in the furniture line
Barnes has it. One needs to see his
stock to appreciate it's immensely
and the high character OF the goods.
But to the uniformed perhaps the
greatest surprise will be found in the
low price at which he sells.
