Mrs. Wilcox was the grand-mother of our townsman, Mr. 0. P. Shell. It reads:] "This venerable lady died at the residence of her son, Rev. A. G. Wilcox, near Brinkley ville, N. C., 011 the 22nd of December, 1901, in the 93rd year of yer age. It is not given to many to live so many years. Sister Wilcox had been in feeble health for several years; but her mind remained unim paired to the last; and with un abaited interest she devoted her self to her loved oues, planning and working for their happiness and comfort. Her efforts in their behalf ending only with her life. Sister Wilcox was born at Gretna Green, Halifax county, N. C., on the 26th day of Sep tember, 1809. She was the daughter of James Alston, Esq., and was, therefore, a member of the large and influential Alston family which is scatter ed throughout several Southern States, many of whom have oc cupied in war and peace po sitions of honor and trust. In her seventeenth year she was uuited in marriage to a Dr. Thomas Shell, of Va. This happy union lasted but a short time ; for the beloved husband, in the bloom of his young man hood. was attacked with yellow fever, and died in New Orleans where he had gone on business. The fruit of this union was one son, Oliver P. Shell, of War rentou, who for many years has been an important factor in the the business life of the com munity. His habits of industry,' careful business methods, genial disposition, devotion to friends, purity of life, and integrity of character indicate, in no un certainwwar, the character of that mother with whose wise training he was blessed. After nine years of widow hood, Mrs. Shell was united in marriage to Rev. Thomas Wil cox, of Brinkleyville, and enter ed upon a life for which she by nature and trainning was pe culiarly fitted. Mr. Wilcox was an untiring and successful work er as a minister of Jesus Christ; and no doubt the wise co-opera tion and helpful sympathy of this devoted wife contributed, in small degree, to his labors and success. She brought into his home that refinement of character, influence of culture and knowledge of affairs essen tial in the wife of a minister of the gospel. She presided with genial dignity in her elegant home, dispensing a liberal hos pitality, and making sun shine for all who came under her per sonal influence'. It is safe to say that the needy were never turned empty from her door, and the stranger was always welcomed to the hospitality of that home. Her friends and neighbors, especially the young, delighted to visit her, where under the influence of her in teresting conversation, poetic imagination, music and art, they were not only made hap pier ; but went away with high er and more beautiful ideals of life. Two children, a son and a daughter were the fruit of this second marriage; Rev. A. G. Wilcox, of Brinkleyville, and Mrs. J. J. Allen, of Louisburg. Perhaps there were others, I do not know. After the death of her second husband she contin ued to preside over her house as in former years. The ordina tion of her son to the ministry brought pecular joy into her life ; for, although not a mem ber of the church, she had been a professor of religion for many years; and had only deferred her baptism because of distress ing doubts that would arise con cerning her conversion. She now decided to follow Chsist, and was one of the first baptiz ed by her consecrated son. The marriage of her gifted daughter to Mr. J. J. Allen, and that of her noble son to Miss Maso, brought changes in-1 to her home that required new ' adjustments, these she unhesi-' 1 tatingly made, and went for ward in her life-\%ork with the z«al and energy of former years. Her devotion to her children, to those whom they had mar ried. and to her grand children was strong and tender ; and to the very last day of her life she actively devoted herself to their , welfare. She had the soul of a poet, the eye of an artist, and lived the life of a saint. It s«d to know that we shall meet her no more on earth ; but, i "Yet again we hope to meet her, * When this spark of life is fled, : Safe in heaven we'll gladly greet her, Where no farewell tear is 3 shed." T.J. TAYLOR. Warren ton, N. C. . FOR THE COMPLEXION. The complexion always suf fers from biliousness or con stipation. Unless the bowels are kept open the impurities from the body appear in the form of unsightly eruptions 1 DeWitt's Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in t healthy condition and remove the causes of such troubles. C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., says : f "1 took DeWitt's Little Early I Risers for' biliousness. They were just what I needed, lam fe.ding better now than in years." Never gripe or distress. . Safe, thorough and gentle. The ' very best pills. Hood & Gran tham. = Brick Passenger Depot. r r Monday there was a petition circulated among the business * men of the town asking the A > C. L. to build a brick passenger " depot, something that has been ? greatly needed for many years. 5 As the town goes forward the r people see the need of a new ' depot and all that is necessary. ■ we think, is to call the attention 1 of the railroad officials to it. - and we have 110 doubt but what * in the near future we shall have a handsome brick structure for J the accommodation of the travel * ing public s One of the greatest reasons ( why the Company should build * a brick depot, is, that as the - town progresses their amount of * business will necessarily in ? crease. Wit h the present * amount of travel from this place ? and amount of freight shipped ' to and-from here, it is nearly ' impossible to accommodate the - people. There is, we are in ■ formed, as much or more travel . to and from this place as any ' town between Wilson and > Florence. f We hope that the railroad - people will see the necessity of f this building and at once take ■ the matter up. ) PRACTICALLY STARVING. "After using a few bottles of * Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife 1 received perfect and permanent * relief from a severe and chronic ? case of stomach trouble," says " J. 11. Holly, real estate, insur ' ance-and loan agent, of Ma " comb, 111. "Before using Kodol Dyspepsia (Jure she could not > eat an ordinary meal without ' intense sufi'ering. She is now > entirely cured. Several physi cians and many remedies had 1 failed to give relief." You don't " have to diet. Eat any good food you want, but don't overload 1 the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia t Cure will always digest it for you. Hood & Grantham. [ Shooting Saturday Night. ; On last Saturday night a ne gro, whose name is not known, did some reckless shooting near Phillips & Go's store, lie seemed to be shooting at 110 one especially, although there was a negro woman connected with it but says she does not know where he was shooting at her or not. Dr. M. W. Harper, a promi nent physician of our town was on the other side of the street in front of Lay ton & Pearson's, store and the ball missed him' but a few inches, striki g a box.. We often'hear shooting over' the town. It should be lookpd after, as it may sooner or later resulo in the death of some in- j nocent man. While the towu authorities put forth an effort to catch the offender Saturday ; night they have as yet been unable to accomplish anything. ~~~ j i A Friend's Advice.

United States has there! been a mere striking exemplifi cation of the adage that politics makes strange bedfellows than is to be seen in the present ngreeuifnt as tu the Philippine question between Senators Hoar, of Massachusetts, ajid Tillman of South Carolina* The clcvernst judge of hu man nature would iitnl it dil ficull to suggest anything else upon which these gentlemen could agree, but as to the scut tle policy in the Orient they are in harmony. Arm in arm these representatives of New England Puritanism and South ern chivalry would walk out of the Philippines and glory in the performance as an act promot ing liberty, the rights of man, and the dignity of the republic. Both of these irreconcilables have undertaken to justify their ittitude relative to the Philip aiues by referrences to past 1 episodes in American* history. Mr, Tillman can find nothing with which to comp are the tyranny and scoundrelisiu of the Philippines except the comparatively recent invasion and subjugation of the slave States by th" North. Mr Hoar 1 finds his terrible example in the war against Mexico by the ' United States. Wile Messrs. Hoar and Till man could not possibly reach an agreement 011 either of these propositions, they are in more perfect accord on the subject of the Philippines than is the case with any othn- members of the Senate who are opposing the policy of the administration. The others are divided by every description of sentiment and opinion, but these two would haul down the American flag and sound the retreat at Ma nila exactly as Mr. Hoar would have done at Monterey or Che pultopec and as Mr. Tillman would have done at Gettysburg or Appomattox. Mr. Hoar has quoted approv ingly the celebrated remark of Tom Cor win to the effect that he hoped the Mexicans would welcome the American army of ip.va c ion with bloody hands to , hospitable graves. The re were all too inanv such graves for the heroic soldiers of the North, but the sentiment of tin- American people toward them was not voiced by the treason able Corwin. It has found last ing and beautiful expression in the words of the poet o'llara: On Fame's eternal camping grou nd, Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards with solemn roti nd The bivouac of the dead. If Mr. Tillman had a sense of humor he weuld supplement Mr. Hoar's appeal to the treas on of Corwin by citing some of the utterances of that other distinguished Ohio recalcitrant, Clement L. Vallandigham, who, during the civil war, held the same attitude toward the Fed eral government that Corwin maintained toward it at the time of the war with Mexico. Mr. Hoar cannot possibly in dorse the disloyalty of Corwin more enthusiastically than Mr. Tillman can subscribe to the disloyalty of Vallandigham. All this can be said without denying the courage and the patriotism in a general scute of Corwin and Vallandigham and of Hoar and Ti'lman. The mistake which all of these men have made, lies in the fact that they have carried their oppo sition to a policy to a point where it has amounted to hos tility to the government. They have set th°ir judgment against that of the great mass of their fellow-citizens and they have permitted their opposition to politicians to place them in a position of hostility to the armv and the flag.—Chicago Chroni cle, Democrat, Some Reasons ; Why You Should Insist on Having ' 1 SpBEKfl HARNESS OIL [ Unequaled by any other. | Renders hard leather soft. | Especially prepared.
