New Berne Academy Closed.
On last Tussday and Wednesday
evening* the New Berne Academy
closed what wee probably the most suc
cessful school year in the history of
that institution. A large crowd of
people assembled to witness the exer
cises which w ere of e most interesting
nature and which showed that the
highest grade of work had been done
by the teachers. The exorcises con*
sisted of the reading of essays, declama
tions, debates and etc., rod were got
ten up with the object of showing some
thing of the work done in the school,
No one was disappointed, for if skill in
rendering the parts assigned the stu
dents on such occasions is a criterion,
the wisdom of the Board of Regents, j
In selecting this efficient corpe of in
■ tractors was folly demonstrated.
There are no better teachere in the
State then Profs. Foust and Warren.
The New Berne people realise this
and have reelected them to conduct
the school another year as joint' prin
cipals. They ere to be congratu
lated npnn the success in obtaining the
services of such able young men.
Redmond Farm-
One of the finest and most produc
tive forma m Jones county is that ol
Mr. James Redmond, situated about
three-quarters of a mile from Trentou
on the FollokevlUe road. This form
was once .the property of Mr- James
McDaniel, one of our wealthy men of
former years. It contains 1.334 acres,
533 of which is cleared, and the balance
696 acres in timber land. The form is
now occupied by Mr. L. A. Haywood,
and through energy and {perseverance
this has btcorns one of the most pro
ductive in the county. The. laud will
grow cotton, corn, wheat, oats; aweal
and Irish potatoes, also flue tobacco.
It* contiguity to Trenton make* the
plaec doubly desirable as a quiat coun
try home. it being with easy access to
the churches and schools In the town.
This farm c<>uld be divided into a nano
bci of small ones or ran as a whole.
Much of the timber on this land is ot.
great value. It is composed ot pine,
oak. cypress and gum. and being near
Trent river. It could be easily floated
to New Berne where a ready market
it found.
We do not know that Mr, Redmond
.desires to tell the farm, but if it could
he purchased of him, and any one de
slriug> farm, located in a first-clar
neighborhood convenient to chur -
and ecbools, and healthy, thev
do well to correspond with him ■ •

Tripp*
Died In Stonewall, N. G. May 18th
1897, John A. Tripp only child of llev.
Henry E. Tripp, age 14 years and five
month!.
John was a bright, promising hoy
and far advanced in his studies fur one
of his age, a loving son on whom all
tbe holies ole fond lather were cantered.
How s*d the bereavement; how deop
the affliction. His remains were
brought to Trenton and placed beside
his mother who went to heaven less
than a year sgo, when Bro. Tripp was
pastor of this work. His funeral was
conducted by the writer in the same
church where about two years ago the
deal boy knelt aud gave his young
heart to God.
The sympathy of the entire commu
nity goes out to this bereaved father
who is now separated from tbs earthly
enjoyment of the feet member of his
family.
Christianity doss not repress weep
ing, nor crush back tears. Christian
grief finds vent heavenward in cheer
fol submission to the Divine will and
in sweet communion with the Great
Sympathiser, who knows what it Is to
weep, aid who has over "borne our
grief and carried oar sorrow,”
Brother, we can only weep with yon
but we remember a loving hither has
raid "what I do thou knoweih not now
but thou shalt know. You devoted
your son to God. If his b dy hae bseu
hut in the grave, be is free from the
evil of am and free from suffering, and
God watches the dust. "It is well
with the child. His earthly ministry
was well dons, and he has helped to
sauctify and lift heavenward the very
heart that breake at its farewell. Like
a broken flower plucked ere the winds
chilled or tbe rains stained it. He ha*
gone to expand and unfold in the Olees
kd garden cf God, snrely pro’onged life
endear th bath no boon like this.
He died to sin, he died to care,
But for a moment felt the rod,
Then springing on the ooiwelees air
Spread hie wings aod soared to God.
J. M. Benbow.
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Barton, W. Vm., and
one of tin moot widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism af
ter three yean of suffering. He says:
"I have not sufficient command of lao
gusge to convey any idee of what I
suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could bo done for me and my
friends were fully convinced that noth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co..recom in ended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swoolen to more than doable
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after I
began using tbe Pain Balm the eweil
fog began to decrease, the pain to
leave, and now I consider that 1 am
entirely cured. For sale by J. P, Bree
