Rev. G. I. Lumpkln Resigns.

At the close of his sermon last
Sunday morning, Rev. G. T. Lump
kin offered his resignation as pastor
of the Baptist church here, to take
effect February 18th. Mr.. Lumpkir
stated that for some time he had felt
that he would be compelled to take
this step for the sake of his health
which he found was being impaired
by the effects of this climate. He
said that his resignation was final
and he desired the church to act
on it at once and secure another pas
tor as soon as possible.
After the observance of the Lords
Supper, MIR. Lumpllin retired and
the church held conference to con-
slider the resignation of the pastor.
While Mr.. Lumpkin's resignation
was great surprise to most of the
congregation, and keen regrets were
felt on all sides, in compliance with
his wish the resignation was accept
ed and a committee was appointed
to seek out a new pastor for the
church at once.
In offering his resignation Mr..
Lumpkin took occasion to say that
the Scotland Neck Baptist church
furnishes one Of the most desirable
pastorates in his knowledge. He
said that the loyal support which the
| church gives its pastor and the large
number of we'll trained church work.
ers, make it a most desirable pastor
ate; and that words were Inadequate
to express his regrets at having to
offer his resignation and sever his
connection with the church.
He has been pastor of the church
for more than three years and half
and the church has greatly prosper
ed under his ministry, the member
ship having been enlarged and the
contributions to various benevolent
causes having been greatly increas-
ed. He has been one of the leading
spirits in the Tar River Association
and he has greatly endeared HIM
self to the Baptists of this part of
the State and to the people of Scot
land Neck and community generally,
He has done a good work in this
community. Perhaps his most con-
spicious achievements were accom-
plished as leader of the temperance
forces in Scotland Neck in winning
the prohibition victory last Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Lumpkin has accepted a call
t. the Broad Street Baptist Church
in Winston-Salem.

A Family Reunion.
reported to The Commonwealth

tRcported to The commonwealth
December oath, 1907, by previous
arrangement friends began to gath
err at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ru-
fus Cherry in Roseneath township,
Halifax county, where there was to
be a gathering of friends to enjoy
Christmas festivities.
At II o'clock Christmas morning
there were gathered happy COM
pany of the following: Mrs. Sue
Helen Draughan, Mrs. P. A. Askew,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Askew, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Barns, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rufus Cherry, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
F. Leighton, Miss Hannah Wilkins,
Mr.. Isaac Draughon and Mr.. Paul
Cherry.
These, with the children, made a
happy throng, who were invited in
to the parlor, in which stood large
Christmas tree loaded with presents
and decorations. The wax candles
and flashlights made the scene one
Of marvellous beauty. Soon Messrs.
Rufus Cherry and William Askew
began to distribute the presents and
all present were happy by being re-
membered.
The grandmothers lived again the
days Of childhood in the shouts and
merry laughter of the children, and
by the happy twinkle Of their eyes
and the tinge of cheek, one could al
most read the thoughts of their by
gone days.
After the distribution of the pres
ents, all were ushered into the din
ing room, where a rich feast was
spread of which all partook and en-
joyed.
After dinner the parlor was given
up to the children, who with blast
of horn, crack of toy pistol and
shouts of glee made the old house
ring.
AS soon as the dark shades of
night came the Roman candle, the
sky-rocket and the cracker told
again of their joy.
When the company broke up, all
felt younger and happier for having
forgotten the cares of the world and
for a short time lived again the
scenes of childhood which told US
again, that, after all, we are all
children trying to keep in mind the
joys of past days.
We are all very much indebted to
MIR. and Mrs. Rufus Cherry who
spared neither pains nor expense to
make all happy, and we return to
our homes praying that God will
grant US many such scenes before
He calls US to the great reunion
above.

Does No Harm, But Much Coed.

Mix the following by shaking we'll
in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce;Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. A local druggist is the au-
thority that these simple harmless
ingredients can be obtained at nomin-
al cost from our home druggists.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
Kidneys, overcoming Backache,
Bladder weakness and Urinary
trouble Of all kinds, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this says it
positively overcomes pain in the back
clears the urine Of sediment and re-
gulates urination, especially at might,
curing even the worst forms of blad-
der weakness.
Every man or woman here who
feels that the kidneys are not strong
or acting in healthy manner should
mix this prescription at home and
give it trial, as it is said to do Won
ders for many persons.
The Scranton, (Pa.) Times was
first to print this remarkable pre-
scription,in October 1906, since when
all the leading newspapers of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and other cities have made
many announcements of it to their
readers.

An Aged COlered Woman.

Harriet Clark, an aged colored
woman of the old school, and who
used to belong to Mr.. Isaac Smith s
family, a member of the Episcopal
church for many years, baptized by
Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire and
confirmed by Rt. Rev. Thomas At
kinson, Bishop of North Carolina,
passed away to the unseen land Mon
day morning, December 3Oth, in the
full assurance Of the living faith in
her Lord and Savior. She went off
as peacefully as a little child falls to
sleep in the mothers arms. Thus
God gives peace and rest to his peo-
pie. The burial was made in the
Episcopal cemetery Tuesday after
noon, December 31st, 1907, at 800
o'clock. Many of the colored peo-
pie, old and young, gathered to see
their aged friend laid to rest. For
she had taught them through many
years Of patient suffering and sick
ness how to live for the right and to
keep the way Of peace and good will
to men. G.. w. PHELPS.
