If you arc going to the country
and want to lend a few gray hairs
to the heads of Postmaster William
E. Kelly and Albert P. Kuclr, super
intendent of mails at the Brooklyn
(N.; Y.) post office, just ship your
suit case to its destination by parcel
poet. Or, better still, after you get
there, fill it with laundry and send it
to the city to have th^thincg done up
tad returned to you. Everybody7*
doing it ? . .
, Acoording . to Superintendent
Kuck the practice ofsending clothes
and linen to and from the city to be
laundered and returned has grown to
be quite a fad. .Every two boon
there are between ?0 and 30 suit
cases received at the main poet office
in Brooklyn for parcel pwt ship
ment. The low cost at ijhjch Ship
ments can bo made has made it - a
very attractive custom to hundred*
of vacationists, the charge for any
point within a radius of ISO miles
: being only Ave cents for- the first
'poood and one cent for each addi
tional pound up to SO. An empty
suit case weighs about four or five
pounds, and when fall about thirty

REV. Y.E.WRIGHT
SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA ? The
North Carolina HI. E. Confer
ence and Farmvllle Circuit loses
In the Death of Mr. Wright one
of its Truest Ministers of the
Gospel.? Body was laid to rest In
Cemetery at Farmvilie.
Rev. Yancy Ellerbc Wright,
born in Richmond county, N. C.
March 24th, 1868, died in Farm
ville, of Pneumonia, Thursday
afternoon April 29ih, 1915, in his
47th year. He was licensed to
preach in his 22nd year and
joined the North Carolina Con
ference of the M. E. church at a
session held in Elizabeth City
the fir? of December 1895, and
was firil appointed to pa?lorial
work on the Pantego circuit,
which he successfully filled for
two years. Other charges served
since, arc Roanoke, Washington,
Clinton, Scotts Hill. Whiteville,
Magnolia, Rose Hill, Roberdell,
Richmond, and. at the lait an
nual meeting of the Conference,
which was held in Washington,
he was sent to the Farravillc cir
cuit.
In the death of Mr- Wright,
not only has the. M. .E. Confer
ence lo& one of its be&, taoSi
consccrated and truest ministers
of the gospel, but Farmville cir
cuit and this grand old common
wealth has loSt a man in whom
the spirit of God ?dwelt? a life
that means more to a town, com
munity, Slate and nation than
the human mind can begin to
fully estimate. His life in Farm
ville, though but a few months,
has been a great blessing to those
with , whom ho. mingled and no
death cbuld have ca& a heavier
gloom of sorrow upon Farm
ville and this setfion.
The funeral services of Mr.
Wright were held in the Metho
dic church laft Friday afternoon
juil prior to the burial which
took place in the cemetary here,
and was conducted by Presiding
Elder, C. L. Reed, whose head
quarters are Washington; assist
ed by Revs. M. Bradshaw, of
Wilson; J. M. Daniels, of Crecn
ville; C. O. Durant.of Snow Hill;
J. W. Bradley, of HooUerton;
and the following local preach
ers: R-.iv. John Matthews, of the
Episcopal church; Rev. J. E.
Kird, of the Baptist church, and
Rev. C B. Mashburn, of the
Christian church. Each of whom
spoke in higher praise of their
associatifin with tbis man of
God. Beautifully was bis life
presented to the large number
present on this sad occasion by
those men in the higher circles
of the church of Christ, and
though he will be with us no
more on earth in person, his
?chrifliaacbaratfcr will linger in
the minds and hearts of every
one throughout tbc ages; for his
was the true life, and now he has
gone to receive his precious
crown of glory.
Carrying out the requeC of
Mr. Wright, "that his body be
buried where be gave up the
cause of Chrifi," the remains
were placed In the cemetery in
Faripvillc. The floral designs
were many and moA lovely seen
here io years, showing the high
e&eetu In which he was held by
out people. The honorary and
a dive pall bearers were Messrs.
t, W. Parker. A. C Mofak, Jmx
T.Thome. J. M. ChriAm.o, W.
F. Boyce. Lee Wilkinson, W. A.
White, G. Allen, and Messrs. J.
