Eastern Carolina News
Sheriff Harrison way in Trenton
Saturday, and he says quite a num
! ber of persons have failed to pay
their taxes, and while he regrets very
much to resort to extreme measures
to collect, yet the law is plain. He
urges you to attend to the payment
of your taxes at once.
An unusually large congregation
[attended the prayer meeting last
Sunday night, conducted by Prof.
|W. H. Rhodes. Ilis talk on love
and our duty to each other was in
j stmetive and greatly enjoyed. We
; are glad to note the increasing sptr-
I ituality in the churches in Trenton,
and the great interest some of the
members manifest in its upbuilding.
■ The second year of the existence
of the News will begin Feb. ist,
when we shall erase from our books
all subscribers who have not paid
their subscription. We dislike to
do this, but necessity forces us to
take this step. Wc hope you will
send thq small amount you owe us
at once, and save us the unpleasant
task. As before stated wc shall
send thd News only to those in fu
ture who pay in advance.
We inadvertently failed to an
nounce in last week’s News the
pleasure of having our esteemed
iriend, W. C. McAllister, Esq., of
Monroe, with us two days during
the holidays. He spoke of the
marked change Trenton had under
gone during his absence, and was
very mnch pleased to see such. We
wish him much success in his under
takings, and there will ever be a
tender spot in our hearts for his
welfare.
NOTICE^
The Supervisor desires all teach
ers, who may need certificates be
fore the next regular examination
days, to meet him at his office in
Trenton Friday, Jan. 14. 1
W. H. HAMMOND.
LET EVERYBODY ATTEND.
There will he a meeting at the
court house in Trenton, Saturday,
Jan. 22nd, of the farmers of Jones,
at which time Cant. E. M. Pace, of
Newberne, will deliver an address
on the cultivation of Tobacco, and
at the same time distribute seed and
literature on the subject. One and
all are invited.
MAYSVILLESUPPLY CO.
We call the attention of our read
ers to the new advertisement of the
above company. This firm does
perhaps the largest mercantile busi
ness in. Jones county, having com
modious quarters in which to sell
goods. They carry a general stock,
and can supply your every want.
The managerof this company, Chas.
Fey, is accommodating and treats
I his customers with great respect, and
: his clerks are gentlemen of high or
der. The success of this company
is almost unparallel and it deserves
; even mert:.
IJlplL).
It is said that "the good die young.”
This has been verified in the death
of Miss Minnie R. Dowdce, which
took place in Newberne about noon,
Monday, Jan. 3rd. ai the age of 24.
She had been a sufferer for many
months, from that slow, torturing di
sease, dyspepsia, and death, which
to many brings such tertrors, came
to her as a happy relief.
She was, and has been for many
years, a Christian and member of the
Centenary Methodist church.
She expressed her willingness to
die, showing that she had no fear of
the hereafter.
What a blessed comfort that must
be to her sorrowing sisters and
friends. While they monrn the loss
of a loved one, they can but know
that their loss is her gain, and it
would be cruel to wish for her back.
We join them jn their sorrow, and
we also rejoice with them in the be
lief that after many days and
nights of continual suffering, she is
now ,
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
