priate RemarksThe Cere
monies Very Impressive.
Ia accordance' with the announce
ment in the Times of last week, quite a
number of oar citizens assembled at
the Court House last Sunday after
noon and proceded in carriages and
buggies to the Cemetery, where, un
der the auspices of the Joseph J.
Davi Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, appropriate me
morial services were had, and the,
graves of the Confederate Soldiers
who are buried there, were decorated
with flags and beautiful flowers.
At the request of the daughters,
Mr. W. H. Yarborough, Jr., acted as
Master of Ceremonies, which heopened
with a short, though beautiful tribute
to the dead heroes, who fought so
bravely tor their country. , . His re
marks were very appropriate and
touching ana wer irequenuy ap
plauded. After the singing of "How
Firm a Foundation," Rev. J. O.
Guthrie, of Raleigh, led in prayer.
role, containing the names of the
Soldiers who are buried in the Cem-r
etery was then read by Mr. W. H.
Ruffin, which he followed with a few
well chosen and appropriate remarks
suited to the occoasion.
Several appropriate hymns were
then 8ung,and these were followed by
the decoration of the graves by the
ladies.
It was a beautiful day, the sun
shore brightly, and all ame-away
fueling better, on account of having
had another opportunity of showing
their respect for and of honoring our
heroic dead.

Sheek Killing Dogs. , ,
We hear great complaint from va
rious sources of the ' existence)!
sheep-killing dogs . in this county,
and in consequence a growing senti
ment in favor of a stringent "dog
law" a lawthat will exterminate the
miserable dog and protect the sheep.
Mr. J. H. WoodTof Cedar" Rock,
who for years has taken much interest
in raising a few head .of sheep, for
market, has recently been a sufferer.
Only a short time ago some miserable
ogs trot into his flock . and killed 22
head of sheep mostly lambs, and
last week, he had : six more;: killed.
Of eourse he is "furious andwe
don't blame 'him. He;- informs
that he has succeeded in killing six
of the miseiable canines , np to Jast
Saturday, and that he keeps his guns
loaded, for every dog , that comes
on his premises, ? Vt ; ' - -

"Friends and Neighbors- I am grateful for past favorir'
and, having supplied my stpre with a fine line of choice 1
liquors, allow me to inform you that I shall continue to
make drunkards, paupers and beggars for the respectable
part of the community to support My liquors will excite
riot, robbery and bloodshed,
. "They will diminish your comforts,' increase your ex
penses, and shorten life. I shall confidently recommend
them as sure to multiply fatal accidents and incurable dis
eases. "They-will deprive some of life, others of reason, many
of character and all of peace. They will make fathers
fiends, wives widows, children orphans and all poor.
"I will thus 'accommodate thepubljic it may be at the"'
loss of my never-dying soul. But I have a family to sup-
port, the business pays, and the public encouiages it.
"J have paid my license, and the trafSc is lawful, and if

t .Thou shalt not kill'; 'No drunkard shall enter the king-
