THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1892. THE ROANOKE NEWS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24, 1892. RINGWOOD. H $icknkss mr. t. h. taylor judge Gregory's letter me. Cleveland fine tobacco sales climate, boil, railroad prospects per SONAL. Our esteemed townsman Mr. N. A. Spivey has been quite sick for two weeks. His many friends wish him a epeedy re covery. A little daughter of Mr. George Davis, of Areola, is quite sick at the home of Mr. T.H.Taylor, where she has been going to school to the accomplished lady and teacher Miss Mary Wills. In staying all night with Mr. T. II. Taylor recently he gave me a history of his prison life at Point Lookout and Elmjra and it is as interesting as it can be and filled with hairbreadth escapades, and thrilling adventure. Mr. Taylor is one of the best conversationalists I ever met and can interest you for two hours at least on his prison life. The letter of our countyman, Judge Gregory, was widely circulated and did the cause much good. Judge Gregory is an able and competent officer, and his letter was admirably written and well conceived. Long may he live to battle for the right. ' The election of Mr. Cleveland is a triumph of the people in spite of the fine service of Messrs. Croker, Shehan, Cock ran, Hill and all of the braves of Tamma ny, whose efforts we have no wish to underate. Not they, but the patriotism of all America elected Grover Cleveland. Patriot and spoilsman alike may be sure that while he will acknowledge just obli gation to friend and party, he will not forget or disappoint the disinterested millions whoso votes are appeals to his manhood and honor. Mr. Cleveland at present is the most splendid figure in the world; he is the representative of the justice and truths of the people; he is the chosen champion of the pure in politics, called and chosen by a people tried unto exhaustion with the practice of the base and will show to the people that he has not unlearned his old knowledge of how to be a pure man and a patriot, how to be an American and a statesman us well as a chief of party. Hurrah for Cleve land. Recent tobacco sales at Rocky Mount have demonstrated the fact that we have the finest tobacco lands in the Stete. Mr. Joe King, farming for Mr. T H. Taylor, Bold at an average of $125 00 per acre, and many others did as well or better. Mr. J. W. Cole, Mr. Williams' tobacco manager, who has been one of the best and most successful for the past three yean says our lands are the best in the world to raise the golden leaf tobacco and there is money in it to those who are painstaking and work. So with the prospect of a railroad to utilize our fine timber and other products, our fine to bacco lands, heathful climate, and fertile soil, we will have the fair Goddess of Plenty to reign over a smiling land. Miss Fannie Vinson, one of Brinkley ville'i charming and accomplished daugh ters, was visiting friends and relatives in our town last week. Miss B. R. Proctor, one of Virginia's brightest jewels, is making wonderful success with her well equipped school here. Messrs. Harrison and Beavans, two of isnnkleyville s most brilliant young men, were in town Sunday, "rushing the girls in style." Dr. A. 8. Harrison, of Weldon, much esteemed by all, is in town; I heard Rev. Mr. Vanderbogart preach at St. Clements church on Sunday night. His discourse was on "Christian unity," and was instructive and interesting. G. E. M. AN OLD FRIEND. We do not know how many votes our Old friend in Halifax, Capt. Edward A. Thorne, received as the Weaverite can didate for Congress, but he did not "get there," and made rather a poor run in Warren and his own county, Halifax, Where he is best known. He was on the Wrong ticket He had really no excuse for training with the gang he did. Born Well, with a partial course at the Univer sity, a man of sense, a life long steward in the Methodist Church, he ought to have kept away from such madness and folly. He wounded many friends and damaged himself and yet all in vain, for be is still "out in the cold." We can never cease to feel very kindly for him, for oar friendship has been exceedingly close for thirty-three yean nearly, but we profoundly regret bis very unwise coarse. We hope he will return to the old party of wisdom, principle and opportunities. His vagaries shall not affect our friend ship for him. We do not turn our back upon a true and tried friend, however much we may, deplore unwise and unfor tunate conduot. We must be very glad in bis defeat, for be deserved it Wil mington Mttttnger. , , 4 mmmmmtmmmmmmmm ForMalaria, Livor Trou ble, or Indigestion,uae BROWN'S IRON BITTERS SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. SKETCHE8 OP CHIEF JUSTICE SHEPHERD ASl ASSOCIATE JUSTICE BURWELL. t Raleigh Chronicle. CHIEF JUSTICE SHEPHERD. James Edward Shepherd was born in Nanseaiond county, Va., July 26, 1847. His parents, Thomas, and Ann Eliza (Browne) Shepherd, were also Virginians by birth and of English lineage. Part of his ancestors were North Carolinians, and one on his maternal side, Dr. Albrighton Browne, a surgeon in the English navy, purchased lands on the Nottaway and Chowan rivers and settled there. Judge Shepherd's mother died when he was but two years old and the death of his father followed in 1859. Soon thereafter ho came to North Carolina with bis oldust brother, William S., and settled at Murfrecsboro, which he made his home till the war came on, when, at the age of fourteen, he enlisted in the Confederate Army. Being too young for other service, he was made a ''mark er" and as sUah continued for twelve months, when he wss selected as military operator in which capacity he did both field and station work till the close of the war. Here as elsewhere he distin guished himself for his fidelity to duty. The fall of his elder brother Lieut. W. S. Shepherd, while leading his company at Sharpsburg, deprived him of his chief counsellor and friend, and when tbe wor closed he had to begin the battle of life alone, without money and dependent up on his own exertion. Not discouraged, however, he took charge of the telegraph office in Wilson, N. C, and supported himself while he prosecuted his stadie especially tho law, for which be early developed a fondness and aptness. After several years of such preparation aofl wrk, he entered the State University, where he studied law under the late Wm. H. Battle, and was admitted to the bar in 1869. He began the practice of law in Wilson, but in 1871 moved to Wash ington, N. C., and formed a co partner ship with Major Thomas Sparow. Already rising in his profession, in 1872 he was most happily married to Mi Elizabeth B., eldest daughter of Mr. Silvester T: Brown. Two sons have blessed their union, James E., deceased, and Silvester B. Shepherd. Judge Shepherd was a member of the constitutional convention of 1875, and though the youngest man in the conven tion, he was on the judiciary committee, where he showed his usual skill and in dustry.' He began his judicial oareor as a judge of the inferior court in 1876. His bearing and conduct there and in his profession was such that in the summer of 1882 he was nominated superior court judge for tbe first district, to which po sition he was elscted at the ensuing elec tion, filling in the meantime, by appoint ment of Governor Jarvis, the unexpired term of Judge Eure, who had resigned. Serving with fidelity and acceptability until 1888, he was nominated and elected a justice of the supreme court, which po sition he oecapied until his recent ap pointment as Chief Justice by Governor Holt. On the bench Judge Shepherd has de veloped his fine legal ability by the most patient and assiduous study. He is noted for his moderation and conservatism. Iu manner he is kind and affable, modest and unostentatious. He is popular with the bar as well as the people. This ap pointment is eminently fit. It will give universal satisfaction. The new Chief Justioe will prove a worthy successor of the profound jurists who have gone be fore him. JUSTICE ARMISTEAD BURWELL. This gentleman was appoiated by Gov ernor Holt a Justice of the Supreme court last week. Justice Burwell is the second son of the Rev. Robert Barwell, D. D., of Ral eigh. He was born in Hillsboro, N. C. October 22, 1839. He was prepared for college at that plaoe aud entered David son College, where he graduatod in 1859 with the first honor of his class. After 4.W .hh. u . IHlMUOl IQ t 1 1 Statesville, N. C, and in the summer of 1860 took charge of a sohool : Prioce ton, Arkansas, where be resided at th breaking out of the war. He entered the Confederate service as a member of the 4th Arkansas cavalry,' being one of six brothers who served in the Southern army, and was soon made adjutant gen bral of General Frank Armstrong's oav- airy brigade. In the fighting before At lanta he wm wounded in the right arm and disabled from farther aotive service in the field. -After the war he made Charlotte, N. C, bis home, and was for a time principal of tbe male academy of that city, studying law in the meantime under Col. John E. Brown. In 1867 he obtained county court license, and in 1869 Superior Court license. For sev eral years Mr. Burwell was a law partner of Senator Vance, which partnership was dissolved only when the Senator was elected Governor in 1876. He served in the State Senate from Mecklenburg county, and took a high stand in that body. At the time of his appointment to the Superior court bench he was a member of the law firm of Burwell & Walker, which enjoys a large and lucra tive practice. Mr. Burwell is regarded as one of the foremost lawyers of the State, and in every respect qualified for a place on the bench of our highest court. He is a gentleman of high social position of unblemished reputation and enjoys the confidence of the whole people. In war he was a gallant soldier, and in peace he has ever been loyal to the best interest of his State. His appointment will give great satisfaction to his section, and will be re ceived throughout the Stnte with marked approval. Mr. Burwell was married in 1870 to Miss Ella Jenkins, of Salisbury, and of this merrioge there are three chil dren two daughters and one son. BY A TOUCH OF THE HAND. REMARKABLE CURES EFFECTED BY AN EVANGELIST IN A PENNSYLVANIA TOWN. A special to the Philadelphia Press from Wiikesbarre says: This town is excited over some won derful faith cures perfuimi'd by a man calling himself ''The Healing Evangelist; who has now for two days been healing persons who for years have been sick. The first service was held last night at (he M. E. church. After a sermon by the healer a hre number of sick persons 1 were treated by laying on of hands, und some very remarkable results were ob t lined. Several deaf persons were made to hear; several were freed entirely from rheumatic pains and stiffness. A man with heart disease suddenly felt the heart beating naturally. Another unable to bend his back from lumbago and sciatica quickly and easily stepped to and from the floor. A woman in an agony of extreme pain instantly declared her an guish had gone, and kneeling down with sobs and tears thanked God for her wonderful improvement. A man nearly blind said his sight was greatly helped, and he then correctly described objects fifteen feet distant, which was impossible before. Many others were treated with remarkable success. Another meeting was held today and the little church could not hold the large crowd which assembled to see the won derful healer. After discourses by the pastor and Rev. P. Warnon many treated the previous evening arose and emphati cally testified that the benefits they ob tained had eoutinued permanently. A large number of new patients were treated. Ensign Wedcmans, 45 year?, totally deaf ear, instantly heard a whisper, and the same happened to the totally deaf ears of T. Davenport, E. Evans and several others. William Lane said tis asthmatic symptoms were instantly re moved. Mrs. L. Reeve's withered and totally powerless arm relieved instantly, and she raised it to her head and the long, bent and crooked fingers were loosened add straigthened. Mrs. S, Wincom's rheumatic pains ceased right away. Mrs. M. Butler's chronic neural gia ten ner at once. Mrs. tsrenner s rheumatism yielded and for the first time in years she knelt, raised her feet to a chair seat and ran and jumped like a girl William Hajdcu's lost speech was greatly restored, and his rheumatic feet, that he could nut raise, were hi helped that he lumped on and ofl-a thair aud then ran and leaped. "Praise God," he said, and all the audience responded with a hearty "Amen. scores ot other equally strilt ing results were obtained.
