DUNN, Harnett County, N. C. DUNN, N. c., September 25,1901. Funeral Services Of The President. Last Sad Rites at Home, Church and Tomb. Canton, Ohio, September 19. With majestic solemnity, sur rounded by his countrymen and his townspeople, in the presence of the president of the United States, the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, senators and representatives in congress, the head of the military and naval ertablishments, the governors of states and a great concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that is mortal of the third president to fall by an assassin's bullet was committed to the grave today. It was a spectacle of mournful grandeur. Canton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city. From every city and hamlet in the state of Ohio, from the remote corners of the south, from the east and west, human tide flowed in to the town, until 100,000 peo ple were within its gates, here to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The final scene at the First Methodist church where the fu neral services was held and at the beautiful West Lawn Ceme tery, where the body was con signed to a vault, were simple and impressive. The services at the church consisted of a brief oration, prayers by the ministers of three denomina tions and singing by a quartte. The body was taken to West Lawn cemetery and placed in a receiving vault, pending the time when it will be finally laid to rest beside the dead children who were buried years ago. The funeral procession was very imposing and included not only the representatives of the army and navy of the United States, but the entire military strength of the state of Ohio and hundreds of civic, fraternal and other organizations. It was two miles loiig. One of the most pathetic fea tures of the day was the absence of Mrs. McKinley from the fu neral services at the church and in the cemetery when the body of her husband was laid to rest. Since the first shock of the shooting, then of the death and then through the ordeal of state ceremonies. She had borne up bravely; but there was a limit to human endurance and when today came it found her too weak to pass through the trials of the final ceremonies. Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the minis ter as the body was borne out of the house. After that Dr. Rixey remained close by her side, and although the full force of the calamity had come upon her, it was believed by those about her that there was a providential mercy in her tears as they gave some relief to the anguish of her heart within. PRIVATE SERVICES AT THE RESI DENCE. Now the deep toned wail of the church bells began and ev ery steeple in Canton gave forth its dolorous plaint. It was 1:15 o'clock and the time had come for taking up the body. A brief private service had been held within the darkened chamber, Dr. Manchester say ing a prayer, while the relatives gathered around, and Mrs. Mc- Kinley listened from the half open door of her adjoining room. The double file of body bear ers now stepped into the room and raising the flag-wrapped casket to their shoulders, bore it through the open entrance. A solemn hush fell upon the multitude as the bearers ad vanced with measured tred. Not a bugle blast went up; not a strain of the hymns the dead ruler had loved so well. The scene was majestic in its si lence. As the casket was borne alone above the line of heads could be seen the enfolding Stars and Stripes, and on top the great mass of white roses delicate lavender orchids. Ten derly the coffin was committed to the hearse and the silence was boken as the order to march passed from officer to officer. Th§ Oranduro of thd Old | North State. A TRIP THROUGH THE "LAND OF THE SKY." The editor, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. W. F. Pear son, visited the famous and beautiful city of Asheville last week and there spent two days beholding nature in all its grandure. We boarded the Southern's Special in Selma Tuesday morning the 17th. On and on we journeyed, and just as the sun and sinking be hind the western horizen and darkness begin to wrap the earth, we saw in the distance a glimpse of the Blue Ridge as its lofty heights were raised to remind us that we were near ing our journey's end. After many miles lind been covered we found our train moving at a remarkable slow speed, and we knew we were then passing over Round Knob. On we went, through the tunnels into the city of many visitors, arriving at 10:30 p. m. We were soon driven to the "Bon Air House" near the heart of the city. We were received by Mrs. McDonal, a most excellent christian lady who spared no effort to make her guest comfortable. We were fortunate in finding such and excellent home. Wednesday morning we awoke and looking out found ourselves surrounded by all the grandure that it seemed possible for nature to give. At 10 :30 in the morning we were driven in the best of style by Mr. Dick Weaver, of the livery firm of Chambers & Weaver, who by the way are the leading livery men of the city, to the Biltmore Estate, and as soon as we pass ed through the arched gate-way into the parke, all that greeted the eye for a drive of 20 miles was all that skill, art, money! and time, crowned with nature, could make it. The estate em braces 120,000 acres of land, the park contains 10,000 acres, and an estimate of the different plants along the dries in variety is put at 6,000,000. We soon found ourself gazing upon the marble palace of the northern millionair. Seeming ly ever shrub, rock and granite walk was as perfectly arranged as art and genius could make it. This indeed is a most magnifi cent home, and reminds the vis itor that every capacity of man, whether thought, emotion, de ■ sire or volition, must have ex pression. Without that they ■ neither live nor grow nor work. That expression may be by let ters, by art, by works, or in 1 many ways ; but everything in man of any force expresses itself and every man writes his life upon the world in some kind of expression. Biltmore palace 1 stands as an expression of the life of its builder. The building of this palace cost two and one-half million dollars. The amount spent to gether in the building of tho palace and grounds is estimated at about $9,000,000. After re NOTICE! Taxes have now been due since Sept. Ist.

I will be in the office at Lillington or have a deputy there to receive your taxes until after the accounts are put into hands of deputies for collection, after which time no taxes will be paid at Court House, payment to be made to deputies only. The law gives me authority to levy and sell property for taxes after November 1. I shall endeavor this year to follow the law more closely than ever before. November Court convenes this year on November 11th. I shall not have time to make two calls for taxes before Court as heretofore. You must, therefore, pay at office in Lillington by November 25th. Make payment during court week. Meet me at some one of the above named places or have your account turned over to deputies. Remember that tax claims have precedence over all others of any kind, and must be paid first whoever be the creditor. Thanking you for promptly meeting me and making settlement of your taxes, I am, Very respectfully, 8. A. SALMON. SHERIFF OF HARNETT COUNTY. Special Notice to Subscribers. Those who are taking THE BANNER, published at Dunn, will have an opportunity to : settle for the same, as the editor will accompany the Sheriff on his round through the county. Please meet us prepared to settle y»ur account as we need the money. Yours truly, J. P. PITTMAN, Editor. turning from this driVe, visited [ Battery Park; from thereto got a splendid view of the great range of mountains that sur round the city. We see from - this point Mounc Mitchel, the king of mountains this side of Pike's Peak. It lifts its fair crowned head 6,711 feet above tide water. l:i the distance yon behold picturesque Pisgah, this contains eighty thousand acres ©f laud and also belongs to Mr. Vanderbilt. 1 On Thursday we visited Sun- Set mountain and standing on its heights 6,500 feet above the city of Asheville we could see; the city far below which looked ; almost as a speck upon the earth. We visited some other points of interest but space for bids their mention.. ROUND KNOB. At Round Knob we more readily conclude that the genius of mind can conquer any ob stacle. Here is the finest feats of railroad engineering in the United States. In cutting its way through and across the Blue Ridge the railroad plunges through numerous tunnels and winds in serpentine fashion higher and higher up the moun tain, in one place being visible at seventeen points below to the passenger. On this spiral road, after having travelled seven miles, yet you are only one mile from the starting point. Much more could be said of the trip but space forbids. The people of this part of the State should visit Aslieville. To miss it means that you miss the grandest scenery on the conti nent.
