Ic e t c h es of the various raem
lbert of both honsw of the Legis-
latare and has the following to
i Bay of Senator Lovfll .
"E. F. Lovill was born in Surry
r county February 10th, 1842. He
wa educated in the common
nchooUi of hw county and at
East Bend High School. Full of
energy and ambition he began
the f tudjr of law and today is one
of the leading practitioners of
hiu sections, jie waaa Confed
erate eoklkTand served with
distinction a Captain of Com
pany A. Twenty-Eighth North
Carolina Regiment, lie was
wounded three times at Gettys-
- burg, fleams Station and at
Jones' Farm. He was married
to Mws Josephine Marion, of
JBurry county, February 15th,
I860. He is one of the most in
fluential and Jeading citizens of
lhe State, and has represented
hi county and district in the
House -of .Representatives and
Senate a number , of times. In
1893 to 1897 he was Commission
er to the Chippewa Indians, and
chairman of the Board of Trus-j
tees of the Appalachian Training
School at Boone. He was chair
man of the Commit te on Man
ufacturing and wired as a mem
ber of the following committees:
Appropriations, Tensions, Ed
ucation Internal improvements,
Finance, Insane, Public Buildings
and .Grounds.
"Senator Ixvill was especially
interested in the cause of educa
tion, lie i? an eloquent speaker,
devoted to the upbuilding of the
1?tate, and was particularly inter
ested in the pasnage of the bill
that will insure the building of a
railroad through two counties
in iis district Ashe and Alle
ghany. His campaign for election
was one of the most notable of
1906. The district had become
what most people regarded as
hopelessly Republican. When
.nominated, Capt. Lovill, who,
though a Confederate veteran,
has more vim than many young
men, enteral toe campaign re
solved to win. He was one of the
men who believed the Democrats
- could succeed and the victory
w as largely due to his magnifi
cent campaign and hi personal
popularity."
. Of Reprewntative W, D. Far
thing it says: . . "
W. D. Farthing, of Matney,
Watauga county, was born June
7th, 1875. in that county, and
was educated at Holly Springs
College in Tenn., and at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma. He went
west at 20 years, but returned
to North Carolina in 1906, when
he was married, and was elected
to the House of Representatives.
On April 21st, 1906, he was
married to Miss Beulah Edmisten
pf Watauga county. His profes
, sion is farming, and he is a high
ly esteemed citizen of his county,
his people sending him to t h e
House with a majority of 107
.votes. He is a member of the
Baptist church. Mr. Farthing
devoted his effort in the Legis
lature principally to the securing
of local acts, and he served on
the following committees: Con
stitutional Amendments, Educa
tion and Oyster Industry.- v
;The office of the Collector of
Internal Revenue is' very soon to

Collector. It was still there when
he was succeeded by the late
T. N, Cooper until 1883. Jfc after

All jurors summoned for both

etc., are expect to lie present on
Monday morning next, at which
time, the Judge writes Sheriff
Hodges, he will be on hand an I
coort will be convened.
Of course this delay will entail
quite an expense on the county,
but it seems to be one ol the ua
avoidable. We take it that the
Judge was entirely unable to at

A Greensboro special of the
22nd says: "In the Federal Court
this morning sentence against
the following Wilkes county
men, who had pleaded guilty of
illicit distilling, was deferred - un
til the regular term of court be
ginning in April: Carl Eller, Jas.
Ellis, W. R. Combes, Adney Fos

and W. S. Sraithv.
"Judge Boyd said he would
give the defendants until then to
get the cash ready, it being un
derstood that fines ranging from
f 100 to f 500."
Ex Beputy Collector R. H. Har
din, of Wilkes, was convicted of
false returns of destruction of
still, and fined $500.
Distiller Poley Halfer, of Alex
ander, plead guilty of removing
and concealing, fined f 300.
Distiller James Combs, Wilkes,
plead guilty of removing and con
ccaling, fined f 1,000.
Z. C.Davis, of Haywood, plead
guilty of filing false vouchers fin
ed $300.
Ex-Deputy Collector L. E. Da
vis, of Wilkes, plead guilty of fil
ing falne vouchers, one year in
the Atlanta penitentiary and
fined $1,000. Judge Boyd deems
Davis the ''king bee" of the en
tire squad. He said it was surpri
sing how moderate rooonshining
had been in Wilkes in 1904 and
1905, considering that the reve
nue officers had practically given
up the territory to them.

For near 2,000 years, Caesar's
famous 'dispatch, "Veni vidi
vici" .has been quoted as one of
thejm&st, if not the most terse
commuication8 ever made. But
it has been criticised as being too
long. His critics say that it was
only necessary for Caesar to
unite '-Vici" as the othprs would
be implied for how could he con-

could lie conquor if he did .come,

Jacob Frederick Wagner, lath
er of Rev. Geo. 8 Wagner, of the
Holston Conference, was born" in
Johnson County, Tenn., Dec. 29,
1831, and died Feb. 13, 1907,
aged 75 years, 3 months and 15
days. He suffered greatly for a
week before his death, but pray
ed fervently to die easy and his
end was sweetly peaceful. ,
He was marriedjito Miss Mary
E. Fry of PearisbnrgVa,ml859,
and had 12 children, 8 sons and
4 daughters. He leaves a widow
and 9 children to mourn their
loss.
He was converted and joined
the M. E Church South in 1880,
under the preaching of Rev. F. A.
Austin, at Henson's Chapel. He
was a kind, indulgent father and
husband; a strong and substan
tial citizen; a man with convic
tions of his own and with moral
courage to stand by thofe con
victions. He loved to discuss re-1
ligious themes and strongly ad
vocated the doctrine of panctifi
cation to the writer. He was a
whole-hearted man, given to hos
pitality. He was a true hearted
man, seeking to owe no man any
thing. He was a happy-hearted
being, full of good cheer. He was
not a man who seemed to want
to accumulate any great fortune j
and never did. but he always bad j
something to divide with the
poor and needy and his house
was the preachers home. He
gladly shared what he had with
God's ministers, his friends and
neighbors, and they loved him.
We feel sure that he did not live
m vam, out tnrougn nis am c
t ions he had that kind, fender,
care that a father of such noble
character should have thegain
of victorious palms and an im
mortal crown.
At Valle Cruris, by the side of
the beautiful Watauga, we laid
his body to rest in the grave till
the resurrection morning, then
we shall him again, where sor
row is unknown and where sepa

Plans for an historical exhibi
tion at the Jamestown Exposi

will show the strength, growth,
independence and progress of the
American nation as influenced by
the Presbyterian and Reform
churches.
Three scholarships for Chinese
girls have been offered at Welles-
ley College, and the Empress of
China will select the girls who
shall come to America to accept
them.

The Life Guards are two regi
ments of cavalry forming part of
the British household troops.
They are gallant soldiers, and
and every loyal British heart is
Kroudof them. Not only the Kings
ousehold, but yours, ours, every
body's should have its life guards.
The need of them is especially
great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases find allies in the very
elements, as colds, influenza, ca
tarrh, the grip; and pneumonia
do in thejBtormyjmontn of March.
The best way that we know of to
guard against these diseases is
to strengthen the system with
Hood's Sarsaparilla the great
est of all life guards. It removes
the conditions in which these
diseases make their most success
ful attacks, gives visor and tone
L to all the vital organs and func
tions; and imparts a genial
warmth to the blood. Remember
the weakerthe system thegreater
the exposure to disease. Hood's
Sarsaparilla makes the sysem
strong. '-.
