Negroes TO the Cotton Fields.

The cotton fields are white and cooks
washerwomen, and other servants are
scarce and nard to get. Itdoes seem that
some other kind of servants than negroes
will have to be used in this State before
long. The situation grows worse every
year. The negro servants are incompe-
tent, careless and lazy, as we'll as totally
unreliable. One never knows when d
cook will take a notion to leave and of
course they never say anything about it.
You are liable to wake up any morning
and find yourself without a servant.
Those in the towns should unite and
refuse to employ negroes after they leave
and so to the cotton fields in the fall, If
they knew they couldn't get work after
the cotton picking season was over, they
would hardly desert their employers when
they were most needed.

Death Of Mrs. S. M. Flint.

Mrs. Deborah MANN, widow OF Seth
NJ. Flint, died at 3 o'clock Sunday MORN
ing, after weeks illness, at the home OF
Mrs. A. }. Boyce on Central street, where
she had been boarding for two months.
Owing to the increasing infirmities of
age, Mrs. Flint reluctantly gave up i'm
January the home on Main street in
which so much OF her life had been passed
and in which she had lived alone since the
death OF her husband nearly four years
ago. The winter was spent with relatives
and in June she found pleasant abiding
place with Mrs. Boyee on Central street,
within easy reach OF her friends.
She had been usually well until a slight
illness, which she was too feeble to resist,
prostrated her the Monday before her
death, and heart failure arising made the
fatal complication that ended her life.
Mrs. Flint, who was 70 years old the
first OF June, was born in Randolph, the
daughter OF Joel and Lousia (Holman)
Mann. April IS, 1858, she was married to
Seth M. Flint, and four children were
born to them-twin sons, who died IN in
fancy; daughter, Minnie, whom death
claimed in 1859 at the age of 16; and
younger daughter, Mable. who reached
maturity, became the wife OF Gardner
Brewer OF Burlington and passed away in
1894, fair young woman OF a lovable ma
ture and strong mental eniowments.
Sorrow and bereavement but tempered
the fine character Of Mrs. Flint and made
her heart more tender to the sufferings OF
others. None looked ia vain 10 her for
sympathy, and in time OF trouble, many
stricken household knew the value of her
gentle ministrations.
Bereft Of husband and children, death
came to her as release from the lcncli-
ness on earth and a glad reunion with the
loved ones gone before.
OF near relatives, she left brother,
Charles Mann Of this village, sister, Mrs.
Allen Kenyon of Mhoon Valley, Miss,
and several nephews and nieces, among
them Clayton and Eugene Mann and Mrs.
A. NJ. Hubbard.
The funeral was held at O'Clock Tues
day afternoon at Mrs. Boyce's, Rev. sam
uel Knowles of the Baptist church ofiiciat-
ing in the absence Of Rev. Fraser Metzger,
pastor Of the Christian church, TO which
Mrs. Flint belonged. The bearers were
the brother, Charles Mann, the son-in-
law, Gardner Brewer OF Burlington, and
the nephews, Eugene and Clayton Mann.
The burial was in Southview cemetery.
