but when they arrived here at 8 O'Clock
q telephone message was waiting to
tell them that he was dangerously i'll
and soon a telegram came saying that
he was dead.
The family were completely pros.

Death OF Mr.. Rufus Walston. II.

On THURSDAY at IL m, July ID
1904, Mr.. Rufus Watson, Jr., died at
his home in Scotland Neck, aged about
% years. He was the second son CT
Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Walston, and
leaves father and mother, two brothers
and sister. The remains we're In
TERED in the Baptist cemetery the fol-
lowing day at IL o'clock, Rev. G. T.
Lumpkin, assisted by DR.. Hufham,
conducting the burial exercises.
The long procession and the large
and beautiful floral offerings indicated
the popularity of the young man and
the deep sympaty felt for thu bereaved
family.
Mr.. Walston, Familiarity known here
and in other towns as "Nick," was a
printer by trade. He received his
FIRST training in The COMMONWEALTH
Office and worked here until a few
years ago when he went to Kinston
and took work on the Free Press
There he made himself favorite With
the Office force and soon occupied an
important position with that paper
which he held until his health failed
About two years ago he came home
sick and broken down and his condi-
ton gradually grew worse until the
final summons came.
His was familiar figure here walk
ing slowly about the streets but never
uttering syllable of complaint during
all the period of his falling health.
He met death calmly and without 8
murmur as he had borne his affection
from the beginning.
He was good printer and had
evinced great aptitude in the art from
his very childhood and had the span
of life been heightened to mature man.
hood and middle life he could have
made marked achievements in the pro-
fession to which he turned his energy
and ability.
1t is sad, indeed, to see a young
man of bright hopes thus cut down in
the opening years when llfe's horizon
begins to lit and show what there is
in the larger sphere for one who is
c. pable and willing to strike hard and
high for good and worthy achieve
ment. But He who knoweth best and
doeth all things we'll hath willed it,
and We must bow in submission with
kind remembrance of him who has
gone the silent way which is appointed
unto all men and through which all
must pass at last.

Death of Mr.. George Robinson.

He died without a struggle about
IL 20, July Is, 1904. He was fully
conscious and knew when death struck
him. He told us few moments be-
fore the end that he was dying, and
called his loved ones and friends, and
with death In his eyes, babe all fare
we'll. Then he asked us to sing. lie
was asked when he was too weak to
speak if he was satisfied and be answer
ed yes bv motion of his head. He
told his mother that be was fully
trusting in the Lord. He listened
carefully to the reading OF Gods word
and tried to follow its direction Ter
the lost soul tor several days before he
grew so weak. He was truly repentant
and prayed 80 earnestly for pardon and
salvation, and wanted rybody else to
pray for him. And while the writer
would not encourage death bed repent
ance as the best, yet this is clear
case of a sinner saved by grace. His
testimony was so clear. There was
not cloud, and the waves were calm
when he put out to sea. Not even a
ripple marked bis departure, but his
spirit had gone before we knew 1t, and
like sleeping child his body lay at
rest.
We buried him about IL O'Clock
Tuesday at the Methodist church at
Palmyra.
May the God OF conssl .tion strength
en- the sad ones left behind and sanctify
chs sorrow to the salvation of every
one.

Death of Mrs. Selistla Weeks.

Early Sunday morning, July 10th
at het home at Eptofth;in Eagesomte
county; Ms sel:~tia Weeks departed
this life, full OF ears and crowned with
honor. She lived eight taaaths and
one day over the allotted three score
years and ten, and then in the grayness
of the dawn of another day she dropped
asleep to await the trumpet call.
As is frequently the case among
Primitive Baptlsts, to which faith she
adhered, she never united with any
church.
She was the widow OF Silas Weeks,
who passed through the valley of the
shadow some years before her, as did
also one of her sons and her only
daughter.
She leaves seven sons, with twenty
three grand children and three great
grandchildren to mourn their loss in a
loving mother. Their deep grief and
sore bereavement is shared by a host
of friends and relatives who loved her
dearly for her devoted life in the inter-
est of her home and friends. The gen.
teel bearing of her we'll bred boys, who
are among the best citizens of Edge
combe county, is living testimony to
her lnotherly care and training. The
further testimony of those who knew
her is that she never said charm
word"sof anyone, and no one can speak
evil of her.
May the peace OF Him who is able
to heal the broken-hearted be with the
bereaved ones in their affection.

RUM0RS COMING
THICK AND FAST
One Story of japanese RepuIse
With Heavy Loss.
TALE WAS NOT CONFIRMED
ST. PETERSBURG NOW REPORTS
EVERYTHING QUIET.

St. Petersburg, April %, 2:O5 p. M
Everything is reported quiet from the
theatre of war.
In spite of the reports from Seoul
and Toxic that the Russians are mass
ing 5G,0OG men TO resist the Japanese
crossing the Yalu river. it can be as
serted with great positiveness that OBJ
stinate obstruction of the enemy's
crossing is no part of General KurO-
Datkin's tactics. The Russians intend
that the Japanese shall have the river
behind them before giving battle in
force. General Kuropatkin's plans in
this respect are fully approved here.
OF course, the Russians will do all in
their power TO render the crossing as
difficult and expensive as possible, but
the first decisive engagement will oc-
cur in Manchuria, where the Russians
believe they viii have ali the advan-
tage Of position.
The Japanese fleet is again reported
to be off Port Arthur, but the report is
not official
5:1S p. ma rumor is current in this
city that the Japanese sustained heavy
loss while attempting q landing near
the mouth of the Yalu river. Accord
Ing to the report. which is said to be
based upon private telegram from
Port Arthur, the japanese lost 1000
men. The story is not confirmable at
this hour and is discredited in quarters
where the Associated Press correspond
ent made inquiries, but an absolute Of
fetal statement has not yet been OBJ
tanned.
s p. m.-The Associated Press is au-
thoritatively informed that the gov
eminent has no advices supporting the
rumor of heavy fghting on the Yalu
