he, "and the people OF the county

Judge Council charged the grand

due to the people of the county whose

Death of Mrs. ]. M. Morrisett.

Mrs. J. M. Morrisett died at her
home in Scotland Neck at o'clock p.
m January 81, 1904. She was buried
ia the Baptist cemetery the following
day at 2 80 p. M, Rev. B. Craig, of
Rocky Mount, conducting the burial
service.
Mrs Morrisett's maiden name was
Angerona War;. She Was born In the
State O! Tennessee November 8, 1887
She was married at Hamilton April S,
1 i54 and so lived almost to the time
of her ffLieth marriage anniversary.
She leaves husband, two daughters
and three sons to hold in sacred memo
~ her beautiful and cody lite She
was Laptized into the Baptist church
at Hamilton in 1857, and remained a
co lsstent memher of the church in
constant and faithful service to her
Lord until the hour of her death.
On the first Sabbath in September,
1874, she changed her church men,
,,ership from Hamilton and was re-
celved into the Baptist church Of Scot
land Neck. A strong and vigorous
writer Of the present time recently
wrote: cit Is the ons with the great
soul, who does things without strain,
without buster; who is the healthful
one, whose last days are the sunnlest.
and whose memory is sweet bene-
diction."
Such was the life of Mrs Morrisett,
whose good and gracious impress ia
desply stamped upon all who ever
knew her. She was good and she was
true in her home, she was the charm
of lie to husband and children in her
association with friends and nelghbors,
SIZE was gentle and obllging; her
life was without bIemish her walk
was blameIess I; her service to God was
conscientious and unfaltering. In
whatever of pain and suffering which
came to her in life, and even under the
shadow OF deep sorrow, she was patient,
brave and strong, and murmur was
not known to fall from her lips.
For her worth and Christian charac-
ter she was greatly esteemed in this
community and notwithstanding hel
| burial occurred almost in binding
snow storm and on one Of the coolest
and most inclement days of the winter
the long procession which followed bel
| body to Its last resting place OF earth
was an eloquent tribute of affection by
her reighbors and her friends.
The deepest sympathy is felt for bel
aged husband in his loneliness ane
grief, and also for her children as we'll
blessed are the dead which died il
the Lord. = Yea, saith tn,
Spirit, that they may rest from tbei1
labours; and their works do follow
them"
so softly death succeeded life in her,
| She did but dream of heaven and shl
was there"
There is no death What seems so i

| This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call Death

They buy poor paint good deal
they don't mean to; they don't know

Bad paint isn't good. 1t looks good
enough for a year then begins to get

notice it.
Looking isn't ALL. The business oil
paint is to keep house dry inside, the

ting and rusting. Takes good paint to
do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one

the price at all !; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing to do with goodness

Solicitor paniel was at his post ready

did powers for the Interest of The Stats
in prosecuting the vlolators OF the
criminal law. Mr.. Daniel is one of the
States best and most efficient solicitors,
and it may b. doubted if ever a better
solicitor has appeared in the courts of
the State at all.
THE JUDGES CHARGE.
Judge Council gave a very clear,
even, plain, able and instructive charge.
He greatly emphasized the dignity
aud importance Of a grand jurors Office
and wis particular to impress upon the
grand jury their duty to the State and
county.
The charge embraced the criminal
law in general, and dwelt with special
emphasis upon certain crimes, among
them SANDER, disturbing public wor.
ship, carrying pistols and cruelty to AM
mails.
Men who roll SANDER as s'swee,
morsel under their tongue" found colo
comfort in the words of Judge Counci
in his denunciation of that crime Pts
tol-tcters were admonlshed that the,
are great factor in the lawlessness and
murder that sometimes prevail. Judge
Council said that statistics at the Stats
prison show that 80 per cent. of the
murders In the State are one way or
another the result of carrying pistols
The grand jury was urged to indict
any and all persons found guilty OF
this violation of law.
Cruelty to animals was discussed
with clearness and force, but Judge
Council said that he believes the law
against cruelty 10 animals Is the dead
est letter on our statute. He said
that during his four years experience as
a Judge he has had only two persons
before him for cruelty to animals, one
of them was convicted and the other
acquitted. Nevertheless, he said 1t
was law that ought to be enforced
and all persons who practice cruelty to
animals ought to be fully punished.
1t was a good and able and sensible
charge.
