Death of a Lovely Young Woman.

Contributed
Miss Iveater Robards died at her home
near Bearpond on Wednesday evening,
April 18th, at Z o'clock, She had only
been sick eight days. Miss Robards was
q devout member Of the Methodist Protes-
tant church, having joined at Union
Chapel at the age of - years, and lived
a true Christian until her death. The
writer knew her from childhood and
there never was any child more dutiful
to mother and father than she was. She
gave up all her pleasures for them. In
all of her sickness she was never known
to complain. The only request she made
was that her father would pray that she
might die easily and when the end came
she only fell asleep, the sleep that knows
no awaking in this world, but only with
her God. She was
Only waiting, waiting till this weary, weary
life is DER,
Only waiting till her Saviour called on that
other shore.
She was in her twenty fifth year. The
bereaved parents have the sympathy OF
the entire community. The remains were
taken by kind friends to the old family
burial ground at Mr.. J. II. Fuller's cher
uncle) and there laid to rest, the burial
service being conducted by Rev. A. L.
Ormond. of Kittrell.

Bows Are Watched.
Saws an exchange:

Says an exchange:
When we see the boy on the streets
and public places we often wonder if
they know that business men are
watching them. Inevery bank, store
and office there will soon be a place
for a boy to fill. Those who have
the management OF the affairs OF
business will select one of the boys;
they will not select him for his abili-
ty to swear, smoke cigarettes or tap
the beer keg And the society swell'
who is daft about little social func-
tions and is happy in the conceit
that he is ''just the article that
young ladies find Indispensable on
all occasions, is as little demanded as
the beer guzzler or cigarette smoker.
Business men may have few loose
habits themselves, but they are look
ing for boys who are as near gentle
men in every sense of the word as
they can find, and they are able to
give the character OF every body in
the city. They are not looking for
rowdies. When a boy applies for
one q these places and is refused
they may not tell him the reason
why they 90 not want him, but the
boy can depend upon it that he's
been rated according to his behavior.
Boys cannot afford to adopt the
habits and conversation OF the loafers
and rowdies if they ever want to be
called to responsible positions.

Letter From EPSON.

EPSON, N. c., April Goth, 1904.
AS Henderson, Louisburg, Kittrell,
and other neighboring places of import
ance We're well represented at the dedica-
cation of the Christian church at EPSON
last Sunday, it is useless to attempt to
mention the names of all the visitors, or
to describe the sumptuous dinner fur
nished by our good Chpistian people
Suffice it to say that the realization
equalled the anticipation in almost every
respect. We have seen largee crowds
here, but not more enjoyable ones. The
dedicatory sermon preached by Rev.
J. 0. Atkinson of Elon College, and the
music OF the choir, led by the accomplish
ed organist, Mrs. Prior Smith, were also
enjoyed by the entire congregation.
Another treat is in store for us, but as
propriety demands silence just now, we
with patience, await the coming of the
fourth OF May, when again we may be
seen vending our way through the soft
twilight toward the sanctuary And as
the Baptist is just over the line in Frank
lin county the papers will have to be
obtained from Louisburg, ,notwithstand-

Weldon Roanoke News.
Nathan Wilcox, colored, the oldest
man In Halifax county and perhaps
the Oldest in the State, died at his
home near here last Friday, April
9Th; aged 118 years. He was born
in 1856 and consequently he had
lived in three centuries. His mind
was remarkably clear up to short
time ago. He was 13 years old
when Geo. Washington died, and re-
menbered hearing talked about it.
Some of the oldest citizens of Halifax
county say that the age OF Nathan
Wilcox is we'll authenticated. They
themselves remember that he was a
very old negro when they were little
boys. Of course, it is a we'll known
fact that it is hard to determine just
how old a darkey is. They love to
appear old and nothing is so inn
pressing to the spirits of the average
colored man, who imagines that he
Is 100 years old, to be told that he
is only 6S. While Nathan Wilcox
was, perhaps, 100 years old it is
doubtful about his having been 11S.
