Mr.. N. j, Northam, of Wrightsville,

which marred the pleasure of his short
stay.
Mr.. John Corroll, OF Durham, was
here Sunday, to attend the funeral OF
his brother-in-law, Mr.. H. 7. Jones.

Miss Bessie, and Miss Bette Cox have
all been quite sick for several days.
Miss Bessies condition was at one time
critical, but we are glad to know they

There is considerable amount of meat
spoiled in our community, owing to
the spring weather for the past two
weeks. We could not we'll afford to
lose ours, and not having killed yet,
have concluded to carry them over till
another season unless the mercury

caused from Bright's disease, with
which he has been a sufferer for sew
eral months, takes from our commun-
ity one OF it's most successful farmers.
He was a very energetic man, and as a

past finding out. He was buried in the
family burying ground last Sunday
the services being conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Fry, pastor of the Baptist
church of your city, of which he was a
member. There was a large attend
and the number of colored people
present a,tested the esteem in which he
was held by his many friends of both
classes in the community. To the be-
reaved family h entire neighborhood
offers coincidence. May he rest in
peace:
