From Tlmberlake. , Mr." Lawrence does not stop for the snow, he hauled logs on last Friday, if any one has any logs that they cannot manage and want to turn into money call on Mr. Lawrence. ' The good house wives were very uneasy, thinking that the snow had destroyed their turnip salad which was thriving so plen tiful, but it is yet looking fresh and green. One of our young men went to see that bright eyed , little 'dove, and some of his rivals changed his buggy wheels by putting the front wheels behind and the hind wheels in front of his bug gy, and the youngster and his father both decided that the buggy was badly under repair, and took the vehicle to a wheel right, and he told them to again change their wheels, and their buggy would be in good running condition. .

Ai nis norae iver. o. ruw came to the end of life's journey on the 21 of heart failure, but was some what in a lingering concnuon Deiorenisaeain. cruin r Brown seemed to realize life's final steps, and as David ex pressed "there is but a step be tween me and death,' and our departed friend had made the necessary preparation for taking that step which was not alone, but Jesus the Good Shepherd was with him, so the step of death was not difficult to take as Jesus lifted him above death in to those bright shining regions of celestial praise, joy and light Brother Brown commenced teaching school about 19 years of his age, and as a teacher he exerted a wiJe influence and the sun gone dowri left penetrating life giving rays which regenera- grasped as its life prejerver, As the babbling brooks, rivers and oceans are purified by the influence of the sun, so the im pressions that our brother im parted as an Instructor will live on throuzh the ages to render homazc to his worthy name. At one time in the history of Brother Brown's life he held a county office, and if I am not mistaken it iwos that of county Clerk and in that office he raised himself in tlio estimation of the citizens of Person and did much honor to himself. About 40 years ago he decided to enter the gospel ministry, and Kev. J. B. Thompson said of him that he had heard Brother Brown preach some sermons that were worthy of any preacher. He was a sound compel preacher and m accomplished much good as a minister in Person and adjoining countiesx Helena church, which I ..- J .... . saciive ana growing is a proauci or his faithful labors. About 1883 the subject of this ketch was attending the Metho- mt conference in Greensboro, .1 . 1 - k . m "Qwnue tncre ho received a that time died, requesting Broth er Brown to come and rear his three little, children. Earl, his daughter arid"" John and Eugene Richmond, his two sons, and there he mad a ucce33 as an orphan's father for we do not i know of three more high toned persons in Person fcounty, and at his grave they wept as if he , was their father. He did not .squander the Richmond estate but managed it wisely and ju diciously until the children reach ed the ages of maturity, then they looked after him as their father until death. v- On the 22 which was the last 4th Sunday the deceased - was conveyed from his home at Hur dles Mills by Rev. Mr. C. C Critchard's hearse to Mt' Zion church where he held his mem bership, and was interred with masonic honors. , The following were appointed by the Worship ful Master. Pall bearers, Char ley Ilolman, Ira Jones, Charley Brooks, R. H. Jones, G. H. Jones and Dr. B. E. Love. We removed the casket from the hearse into the church, where very appropriate services were conducted in honor of the de ceased by Revs. J. B. Floyd and J. B. Thompson. Then the last remains of Brother Brown were conducted to the crave' in the church yard, and there amidst the largest concourse of people we ever saw assembled around grave, the body of Brother Brown was buried with the hon ors of the Masonic fraternity conducted by Brother C. H. Hunter, the master of Roxboro Lodge where Brother Brown was a member and the order that he loved next to his church. Our Brother had honored God, and was a true man, honest, gen erous, loyal and religious, f His faith was steadfast in God, and was his anchor in passing through the chambers of death. His virtues were greatly to be praised. His life was a benedic tion to thousands while his de parture makes earth sad, let us lok up and see him among the angel host made glad. Roper. Deal!) cl Mr. Dana. Rev. J. S. Dunn, chaplain of the R. F. Webb camp of confed erate vetrans, died Saturday morning at his home on Pear mill hill after an illness of many weeks. Mr. Dunn was a retired Meth odist minister and had been about the city but little recently bu was always strong enough to at tend the reunion. He was a de voted confederate and in the church was as militant as upon the battlefield. He went through the army and served his section well. Mr Dunn was a member of the Methodist Protestant faith. He had not done active ministe rial service "in several years however preaching occasionally in other pulpits. He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter, a brother. 80 years old. and a sis ter living in Bladen county. The funeral was held Sunday after noon at 20 o'clock. -..

Died Ptillllplne Islands. Mr. J. W. Tatum yesterday received a message from Chief Edwards of the insular bureau department at Washington, an nouncing the death of Mr. Ta- um's son, Earl J. Tatum, Sun- dayjngthe Phillipine Islands. ; The telegram bore no - news further than the story -that a cablegram had been received by the chief. That official wired Mr. Tatum: "Regret to inform you that a cablegram has just been received from the governor general of the Philipines that Earl J. Tatum died March 20 of smallpox and that the body had been cremated." . . There is not one circumstance that is not infinitely sad in the chronicling of this death. Young Tatum had been upon the point of coming back to America and Durham and one year ago had almost decided to do this. But he was unusually successful and the opportunity , for doing work and making his reputation were so enticing that he decided to re main over another year. He had been promoted and was making money very rapidly in the ser vice. S Mr. Tatum left Durham five years ago and went to Washing ton. There he was electrician in the service and was so much lik ed that he wa3 promoted to bet ter work in the Philippines. He wa3 called to the Philippines as electrical engineer and tookrbis position in November of He grew steadily in the graces of those higher up and at the time of his death was doing hand somely. One of his fine trails was shown Christmas when he made his father a Christmas gift of $500 earned in the service of the government. Recently it had installed some large automo biles in the work there and his last word written to his home people was of those big machines that he was putting in shape for mm m t use. He reveled in M3 worn. The saddest item of the death of this young man, but 23, is that within ten days he was to have been married to Miss Elli son, who is a niece of the gov ernor general. They would have celebrated their wedding next week and the sudden and shock ing death falls as heavily upon her as upon the father whose lat ter several years has been filled with grief. Mr. Tatum lost his wife nearly three years ago, and while crushed by the death of his son. had a little grandson in Virginia now at the point of death and a relative living twen ty miles from Durham also criti cally ill. His son. Mr. B. C. Tatum. was, here yesterday re turning from a visit to his aunt who is so low. and while here re ceived the message of his broth er's death and later of the dan gerous illness of his little boy. He went immediately home. In Durham, where the young Mr. Earl Talum attended school, lived, worked and spent his boy hood, there is no end to the sor row felt over his death in a for eizn land. The shock and the sadness are complete and they touch the family and friends wholly unprepared for such dis tressing news. A Very Enormous Bog. When Mr. E. B. Cozart was in the office the other day, he was asked about the enormous hog that he owns. Mr. Cozart is preparing to take a trip and is mapping out his itinerary. He will first exhibit the montrosity in Durham, where he will remain for a week. He will from there travel South to New Orleans, stopping at Atlanta, Montgomery and other cities on the route. Coney Island will be his next point and, after completing the allotted time there. Mr. Cozart will journey to Niagara Falls and over in Canada as far a Toronto. Mr. Cozart has been in eleven States with his hog, having spent six months at the Jamestown Ex position last year. The animal weighs 1460 pounds and is of prodigious dimensions. IU is 8 feet, 4 inches in- girth and measures 9 feet. 2 . inches from tip to tip. To give some idea of his vast proportions, Mr. Cozart says that his hogship is three inches larger in girth than the largest horse known to be in existence in the country, which is the Morroccan horse now on exhibition in Toronto. Canada. and wonderful to say. the hog has achieved all his distinction in the space of 3 short years, which i$ the animal's age. He certain ly pught to bo proud c self, for he won a gold . d at Jamestown, Mr. Cozart says the hog is a very small eater, and , fed on meal and apples, with a few sweet potatoes to diversify his diet." He seems to thrive on that bill of fare, for he has never been sick. In spite of his corpu lency, he is able to get about re markably well. He is an aristocratic hog, for he has a good pedigree. He is a cross between the big bone and little bone Poland China, but as to why he grew to such colossal proportions, nobody knows. He is a freak of nature. Oxford Ledger ,.

The West Durham Baptist meeting closed last Friday night after ten days and its successful ness is pronounced in the thirty six penitents who received the rite of Baptism. The revival was conducted by Rev. J. J. Beach, who came here from Kings Mountain and preach ed stirring sermons every night. At each service there was a tre mendous crowd and last night the church was not able to hold them. Concluding the series of meetings was the baptismal ser vice in the pool arranged in the church and the thirty-six candi dates for baptism were prepared. There were 14 girls and 22 boys, all of whom were baptized by Rev. 0. W. Triplett, the pastor, who aided Mr. Beach in the ser vices. Iben i RulModi ol Slot an Covercl The L. k M.
