Death of Mr. Riddick. After an illness lasting only a few days, Mr. P. G. Riddick died at his the home of his brother, Mr. J. T. Riddick, at Spring Hill, Saturday about 12 o'clock. Mr. Riddick was about 50 years old and wa3 well known to many of our readers. About six years ago Mrs. Riddick died, leaving her husband with five boys. Their ages now range from 13 to 24 years, and . they were all at the bedside of their father when the end came. The three younger chil dren will remain under the care and training of their aunt, Mrs. A. M. Riddick, of Scotland Neck, while the two older ones are grown young men and are engaged in business one in South Carolina and the other in Maryland. On Thursday before his death Mr. Riddick expressed a willingness to die and we trust that his soul is now at rest. The interment took place at the Baptist cemetery Sunday afternoon attended by a large concourse of people. The service at the grave was conducted by Rev. O. L. Pow ers, pastor of the Baptist church. To the bereaved sons and other relatives we extend deep sympathy. -:'C it ira3 el ghosts, rev; people Ynt f !ie rhoGt is a fancy and ;t.

One of the State's Most Promi nent Ladies Passes Away, Be ing Surrounded by Her Entire Family, After a Brief Illness. January 9, 1848 August 15, 1911. Mrs. Maria Arrington Kitchin died at her pretty country home near Scotland Neck, at 4 o'clock, Tues day morning, August 15th, 1911. She was born at Brinkleyville, Hali fax county, January 9th, 1848, mak ing her stay on earth 63 years, 7 months and 6 days. She was a daughter of William Walton and Annie Maria Alston Ar rington, and received in her child hood that careful and proper train ing which vouchsafed the noble life she lived and the distinguished and conspicuous' place she filled in her community. During the months of July and August of last year Mrs. Kitchin was seriously ill and during that time her life was frequently dispair ed of. She apparently recovered from that illness, however, and dur ing the past few months her health had been unusually good. At 7 o'clock on Monday morning, August 7th, she was stricken with paralysis. From the first it was seen that her illness was quite seri ous and there was little hope for recovery, although there was an oc casional slight improvement. Two trained nurses were in constant at tendance during her illness and every possible care was given her through skilled physicians, trained nurses and every member of her own de voted family. On January 6th, 1864, she was married to the late W. H. Kitchin, who preceded her to the spirit world several years, he having died on February 2nd, 1901. There were born unto this union twelve children, ten sons and two daughters, all of whom survive except one infant son which died some twenty years ago. At the hour of death Mrs. Kitchin was surrounded by her eleven living children and the wives and husbands of all who are married, which in cludes her entire family, except her two youngest sons who lived with her. Besides her immediate family she leaves an only sister, Mrs. D. M. Dunn, of this place, and a large circle of influential relatives and friends throughout Halifax and oth er counties of the State. From the date of her marriage Mrs. Kitchin had lived near and in Scotland Neck and was well known to the people of this entire region. During a great revival meeting in 1867 she joined the Baptist church in Scotland Neck, was baptized by the late Rev. C. Durham, and con tinued her faithful church relations until the end of life. Mrs. Kitchin's entire life from childhood until death was marked by a strong personality. Added to the charms of personal beauty and in tellectual superiority, were the noble and appreciative characteristics of an amiable disposition. Her life w?.s indeed one long sweet breath of love and helpfulness to all who came under her influence. All that the Divine Mind contemplated as a suitable helpmeet for a noble and manly husband was found in her as a true and faithful wife. Mother hood was blessed and glorified through her in the careful and ten der rearingof her children. Social life and true neighborliness were beautified and made sweet by the touch of her life with those who knew her best. All that goes to make up a life of noble womanhood was con summated in her experience and touch with the world from birth until death. She loved her own and was broadly kind to all the world beside. It falls to the lot of few to ob serve and enjoy as many immediate family distinctions as did Mrs. Kitch in. The noble young man into whose keeping she gave her life in vows at the marriage altar in the troublous days of war, distinguished himself on many a battle field and won for himself a name that will Jive un til the story of the bravery of Southern heroes shall have become old. Then in the activities of civil life he won distinction in being the first Democrat elected to Congress from the Second Congressional Dis trict since the war. He was elected in 1878 and and served in the 46th Congress, and rendered conspicuous political service to the State as long as he lived. Mrs. Kitchin's later years have been blessed and made bright by honors that have come to her dis tinguished sons, three of them hav- j ing occupied and are still holding high positions of trust in State and national affairs. Hon. W. W. Kitch in, now the trusted Governor of North Carolina, served the State for twelve years as Congressman from the Fifth District. Hon. Claude Kitchin is now serving his fifth term in Congress from the Second Dis trict. Hon. A. Paul Kitchin, having served two terms in the lower house of the General Assembly is now a member of the State Senate. Her other sons are taking high places in business. and agricultural interests. Her two daughters, Mrs. Archibald McDowell and Mrs. C. L. McDowell, hold high places in the community as queenly wives and charming home keepers. Truly the sunset of Mrs. Kitchin's great and good and noble life was golden, and it was fit indeed that the close should be calm and serene, as she had lived. Such a life is a benediction to all the world! The interment will take place in the Baptist Cemetery this afternoon X Wednesday) at 5 o'clock but we go to pre-ss too early (at 12 o'clock) to give an account of the services. Death of Mr. A. A.
