The death of DIR. j. F. Millel
was a shock to u community
where he was universally loved ane
esteemed by every one. Since HI
moved to the Eastern Hospital, owe
which he presided with such sequa
ability, being then a voter in gu
township, I'VE felt that he was on
of US, and this feeling was intensi
fed by the warm interest he took il
US, and the brOtherly grasp OF tina
hand which Was ever ready to LEM
help to his fellowmep. It was sucl
as he, of whom the Psalmist spok
when he said, "Mark the perfec
man, and behold the upwright; TO
the end of that mar is peace" III
leaves behind him the richest herr
tage possible for a man to leave thi
world, while before him spread tn
realities of those Divine promises
in anticipation of which, his lif
here was Zone grand sweet song.
May the God, whom he SO faithful
ly served, comfort his bereave
family, and grant us the fullness {
that inheritance to which he hs
been called.
The question of location of tn
Union Depot in "Greater Gold.
boro" is now interesting many, an
so far as we are concerned, we cour
try people would prefer the track
away from the center of the city
like we have ours. In our town tn
Depot is some distance from Mai
street, and the passing Smithfiel
Limited does not disturb the peac,
full serenity of old "Celum" as "
drive down on a shopping expedi
ton, or to peddle our taters an
other farm products. The Dep
has been in the centre of your cit
as long as we can recollect, and i
keeping with a progressive spirit,
it is moved and a better one, thu
wont leak, is built, (the only fau
: ever found of the old enc was il
