REPORT or ?RASD JURY The following is the report of the Grand Jury which completed its work by noon yesterday and was discharged by Judge Cooke with the thanks of the court. To Hon. C. M. Cooke, Judoe Presiding. We beg leave to make the following report: We have passed on all bills given us in charge, and have attended to all matters that have been brought to our attention. ' We have visited the county jail in a body and find the same in need of more conveniences for the prisoners. We find that the prisoners need cots or mattresses upon, which should be raised from the floor, as they are now on the floor withont anv ai?r\r??rt Wo further find also that the jairshould be cleaned and the walls washed and especially the quarters where the prisoners have to sleep. The prisoners seem to be satisfied with their treatment and board. We haye visited the county home for the aged and infirm and find the home all right and well kept. We have examined the county offices and find the records well kept, and reccommend that a new floor or the one paired. We recommend that a now room be put to the Clerk's office as at present he has no place to, try cases which come before him and also need more room to file cases. We earnestly recommend that a room be built or added to the Court House for the Grand Jury as at present the Grand Jury has no place to meet without displacing one of the other officers of the court house. Respectfully submitted, J. H. Eavans Foreman Grand Jury.

Person On Saturday morning, August 11th, 1911. at two o'clock, in the stillness and sweetness of his earthly slumber, God gently laid His hand upon the soul of Mr. Samuel J. Person and carried it to the land beyond. Ooing to bed on Friday night perfectly well and happy with intentions oi making an early start next morning to visit his sister, he little dreamed that he'd take a much longer and brighter journey ere morning dawned. His wife awakening, touched his hand and found it cold in death. She summoned from their room her two sons, who with her. used every effort to arouse their loved one, but to no avail. He was beyond all human help. His face showed no mark of suffering, and serene as though sleeping, it only reflected In death the sweetness and gentleness|always reflected there in life. Mr. Person was sixty-four years old, and had lived almost the whole of his life in the old family home where he died. He was a consecrated chiistian gentleman with a heart ever filled with the milk of human kindness, free fiom malice and uncharitableness. A loving, helpful husband and father always, he had so endeared himself to those in his home, that they can never cease to miss him. His triends and neighbors loved and respected him both for his admirable traits and tor his kindness and goodness to them. He never turned a deaf ear to a call for help and often extend worthy aid without being asked. His home has ever been one of cordial hospitality, and he was kindly gracious to all alike, rich and poor, high and low. Even the poor peddlers tramping through the country often sat by his fireside in winter, finding food and shelter for the asking. Mr. Person married Miss Mary Smith of Granville county, and for about thirty-five years they have lived happily together in their peaceful home. He leaves two sons, William Smith Person and Matthew Maurice Person, one brother, Mr. J. J. Person, of Louisburg and two sisters, Mrs. W. M. Person auuiMrs. W. M. Montgomery.?? He was fan earnest and consistent member of Serspta Methodist Church, . N T ! STATE. THE UNION. FRIDAY AUGUST 25. 1911. and the Church has indeed sustained a loss in hia death. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Thompson at the home and continued at the grave in the cemetery in Louisburg by Rev. Mr. Bailey. The pallbearers were the nephews of Mr. Person and were as follower. A. W. Person, J. M. Person, Howard Person, M. S. Clifton, B. 13. Perry, S. G. Boddie, L. L. Joyner, Jno. W. King and S. P. Boddie. The flowers were beautiful and profuse betokening the tender love and esteem of friends and loved ones. At the grave the hymns "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" and "Some Day We'll Understand" were sweetly sung by members of the Methodist and Baptist Choirs. The devoted wife and sons have the heartfelt sympathy of the whols community. May Cod who doeth all things well comfort and cheer them uport their earthly pathway, and so bring them safely home at last where they shall see their lowed one face to face. MUNN-SHIPP. A Beautiful Home Wedding. On Wednesday morning at the home o( Mr. E. 11. Sine, oh Kenmore avenue at 11:30 o'clock was the scene of a most beautiful home wedding when Mr. A, N. Munn, of Phoenix, Arizona, and Miss Erin E. Shipp, of this place, were happily made one The parlor of this hospitable home had been beautifully decorated by the friends of the bride with palms, ferns, cut flowers and potted .plants arranged such that the room presented a most taty appearance and was lighted with numerous candles. At the proper time the bride and groom entered the room to the strains of Mendelssohns wedding march, gracefully rendered by little Miss Ulah Kuth Oldham, of Ruleigh, marching to the centre and taking their stand upon a beautiful angora rug, where the solemn vows were taken and they were pronounced man and wife by Rev. L", W. Swope, pastor of the Baptist church, in a most beautiful ceremony. During the ceremony "Hearts and Flowers" was beautifully rendered by little Miss Oldham. o The bride wore a behutiful trayeling suit of grey cloth with hat and gloves to match, and carried a boquet of brides roses. She wore a handsome diamond and pearl necklace which was the gift of the groom. The bride is the sister of Mrs. E. H. Sine and has lived in Louisburg for several years. She is a young lady of refinement much admired for lier lovely disposition and beautiful manners by all who know her and possesses the necessary qualities that gc to make a true helpmeet. She has many friends here who will regret to see her leave. The groom is a most successful r>i ? * ' i jyjhue ni?u ui ruueuix, Ariz., noiamg the positions of Master Mechanic and Assistant Superintendent of the Anizona Eastern Railway, and is popular among a host of friends. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom left by automobile, accompanied by a number.of the bridal party for Franklinton, where they took the north-bound train for Washington, New York, Massachusetts and Canada returning to Plioenix Arizona, their future home by way of Niagria Falls. The presents were both nurperous and valuable attesting the popularity of the contracting parties. Among the large numbeT artriends of the family present were the following out of town guests: Mrs. G. A. Oldham, daughter, Ulah Ruth, and son, Geof jc A. Jr.. of Raleigh, Mrs. S. E. ^hite, of Portsmouth, Va., Miss Annie Pegram, of Henderson. Among the many congratulations extendi was a telegram from friends of the crroom in Phoenix, Ariz., wishing them a pleasant journey through life's pathway in which the many friends of the bride here heartily join. Engagement Announced. The announcement of the engagement of Miss Eleanor M. Lambertson to Mr. Glenn L. Crowell, of Louisburg, N. C.> - was made at a garden party given recently in her honor, by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Johuson Patterson, in Greenville, Tenn., where Miss Lambertson has resided since the departure of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lambertson, from Asheville a year or so ago. The home of Mr*- and Mrs* Patterson was formerly the home of President Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth president of the United State*, of whom the present owner is a grand son. Mr. Patterson was consul to British Guiana during the Cleveland administration and in the beautiful and quaint old garden where the party was given, a number of tropioal birds and agorgsous Macaw, flew about at will, having become very tame since their importation \ . - * . -< IMES ? LOUhBURG'S TOBA( Warehouses Will Celebrat on Next to this country. There were three other guests of honor. Mrs. Thomas Brubsan. nee Miss Josephine Susong, a re- ; cent bride; Mrs. H. Robert Pbinney, of! Richmond, Va., and Mrs. F. JJ, Boyd, j of Knoxville. The guests were inter- j rupted, while playing bridge, by tho j arrival of a telegram which was addressed to Mrs. Brabsan, who read tlie j announcement of the engagement of Miss Larnbertson and Mr. CroWell, which was followed by an avalanche' of good thrashes and felicitations, Miss Larnbertson wore a lingerie gown trimmed with baby Irish lace, a silken cord of blue defining the waist line. Misa Larnbertson is a beautiful girl, her coloring being rare and brilliant, and during her residence in Asheville made a great maoy warm friends who will be glad to know she is to return to this , state after lier marriage, which takes place in the autumn. Che engagement of Miss Larnbertson was rumored in these columns some months ago, but the formal announcement was not made until several days ago. Mr. Crowell has spent much of his time in Aaheville and is one of the most popular and estimable of the younger men.?Asheville Citizen Necessity of Organic Matter , In The Soil. *>e ao not advise the use of any leguminous crop in the treatment of these poor lands the first season. You will do well to get a good growth of rye on the land and in order to do this you | may have to use one or two hundred | pounds of some good grade of commer- \ cial fertilizer. Begin in the fall. If I the land is rather heavy, break it as | deeply as your teams can pull it but d j not sub-soil. Sow a bushel and a half of rye per acre and use ^home grown Bsed if you can possibly get it, at any .ate. get seed grown in North Carolinao In the spring, if the season is good and the rye is growing off nicely, it j might be well to clip it when it first comes into head, in order to let it make a second growth. Your main object' ,now is to secure a large Amount of vegetable matter to be plowed under. . Therefore, leave the clippings on the ! ground while the rye makes its second . growth. When the second growth begins to bloom, run a heavy roller over , the ground; follow this roller with a , good sharp disc harrow, and disc the , land until the rye is cut into bits. Then , turn it under as deeply as your treams can pull it, provided, the land is not too wet. The plowing should be about . eight inches deep. After plowing, set the disc harrow at a slight angle and , xun over it another time in order to , break clods and pulverize the surface. Let the land lie about a month and seed , it to cowpeas, using, if necessary, about 100 pounds of Acid Phosphate to the acre. When the peas have made their growth roll an- run the disc harrow over them about twice; cut them to pieces and plow them under deeply and let the land lie until it is time to sow rye again. Sow rye and crimson clover after the peas. The following spring treat the rye as you did before,?Clipping, rolling, discing, plowing. You should, clip iust before the ertmsoii_clorer comes into head, or, be sure not to clip the clover when you c'ip the rye. The second growth of rye is likely to come off about when the clover is ready to turn under. Then ro'l, disc, and plow as above directed. Now, wait for a good rain and disc the surface twice and prepare to plant corn. You have now worked this land one year without getting a crop?that is, you began last Jail a year ago. planted it two crops this summer and fall, plowed tLem all under and this spring you are growing corn on a piece of land which perhaps has not been fanned in ten years, and you are going to get more corn off of it tfiis year, in all probabili- j ty, than you have been getting off of your best acres on other parts of the farm, and you will hayq done it all by deep plowing and green manuring, with the addition of a little cheap commercial fertilizer. Your land is now brought up. The value has changed from say $5.00 an acre to $40 an acre for actual . farming purposes. Next week we shall continue this discussion of rye as a green manure, and hope to bring before you some interest-1 ing facts which we have not been able! to bring out in the above discussion.? 1 J.

SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PBR YEAR ' NUMBER 27 :C0 h^RKET OPENS e Their Formal Opening Thursday PROSPECTS FOT HIGHER PRICES THIS SEASON EXCEEDINGLY GOOD. The Riverside and The Farmers Warehouses Only Ones to Open Next Week?Arrangements for Opening the Harts Warehouse Not Yet Made. The people of Louisburg are going to join hands with our clever corps of warehousemen in throwing the gates to our little city open to the entire public on next Thursday?it being the occasion of the opening of the tobacco season in Louisburg for 1911. Each of our warehousemen have been busy the past week or two preparing for the formal opening of the several warehouses and they are not sparing pains or expense in being sure they are making everything lor the accommodation and convenience of their many friends among -the many tobacco farmers of this and adjoining counties. They inform us that it shall be their aim this year to see how many customers they can get from a distance by showing them the advantages of Louisburg over other markets in their sales on the floor. With a determination of this kind you may have no fear of placing your to- ( bacco nn n flfwe in * ?? ? ?-- ..i uuuiauuiK, as your interests will surely be looted^after ia an earnest and enthusiastic manner. Amonir th(e buyers here this year will be Mr. Thos. D. Tyack, for the American Tobacco .Company, Maj.. J. B. Thomas, for 0. B. Cheatham, and also will make individual-purchases These two gentlemen will in all probability buy strong and with the increase in the pnce of the golden weed will no doubt lend their assistance towards creating the smiles among the fanners. Since last season the Farmers Brick [Warehouse has been purchased by [ Louisburg's pioneer tobacco men, I Meadows & Uarris, who will continue at this same place this season. They inform us that they will leave no stone unturned to give to every one of their customers the best of salisfaction. In their office will be found G. C. Harris, book-keeper, and W. D. Fuller, assis- ? tant book-keeper and weigher, with B. T. Bailev as auctioner. With this force and with Messrs. 8. S. Meadows and John N. Harris to look after your tobacco you may be assured that they will live up to their promises. The Riverside Indipendent Warehouse that has made its reputation as a place for the sale of leaf tobacco so long ago that it becomes unnecessary to reiterate it, will be run this year by, as thev term themselves and which they are entitled to owing to their success in looking after the farmers interests so well, the "ycung reliables," Messrs. E. S. Ford, B. N. Williamson and J. R. Collie. This is the third season of this warpliniiBu imHpr wiuno?omar.k tsgViaaWJU of the two former young men, Vwho have met with wonderful success, tylr. Coilie has been connected with the 'tobacco business here for the past fifteen years and has equipped himself fully f<?r the position he is assuming. D. T. Williams will have charge of the books and the thtee managers will give their personal attention to all the other branches of the warehouse thereby assuring satisfaction to each and every one of their customers and patrons. B. T. Bailey will do the auctioneering for thw warehouse. The Ilaris Warehouse from what we can learn at this writing will not be run this season. To sum upthe entire circumstances connected with the market this season everything indicates a more live market than we have witnessed heref in some time. Newspaper Luck. Editing a newspaper is a nice ' thhig. If we publish jokes, people say we are rattle-brained. If we don't we are fossils. If >v? publish original matter they say we don't give them enough selections. If we give them selections ? they say we are too lazy. If we don't go to church we are heathens. If we do we ate hypocrites. If we remain in the office we ought to be out looking for news items. If we go out then we are not attending to business. If we don't wear good clothes they laugh at us. If we do wear good clothes they say we have a pull. Now, what shall we do? Just as likely as not jwme one will say that we stole this from an exchange. So we did. V ' ? v -t
