only daughter of the late Capfc' Juliua
Sidney Joyner and hi* wife Eliza
Jeffreys, died in Franklinton od
Sunday morning, August 21, 1910
at live o'clock.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist c-burch of which the
deceased was a member, conducted
by Rev, W. W. Rose, pastor of that
church, and Rev. G. P.' Harrell, of
the Baptist ohnrch.
Mrs. White was born in Franklinton
December 19tb, 1876, and was
mairied to Mr. R. Bruce White in
November 1905.
The deoeased was the writers ideal
of a beautiful character. She was
to him the embodiment of all that is
gentle and good and beautiful. Universally
beloved by all who knew
her both for her loveliness of dispo
Bition ana person, a datum and devoted
wife, daughter and sister, she
has left an aching void in a wide
circle of sorrowinq hoarts. Her sweet
and gentle influence impressed all
who came in contact with her. As
the budding flower emits its fragrance
to the passing breeze so did
her lovable character pour its virtuous
impulses into the hearts of
others. When but a little girl she
gave her heart to God and united |
with the Methodist and from thenc
onward till death out her down in
the bloom of young womanhood her
life has been an illustration-of happy
cheery, sunny Christianity, tall ot
earnestness, purpose and devotion to
duty. For twelve years she was organist
in the Sunday school of which
the writer was SuDerintendent. Jt
was during those years he knew her
best. At times when tilings were
not moving smoothljyw-hen the Superintendent
was'^ilespondent Miss
Jennie, (before hnd after marriage,
I have known her only as Miss Jennie),
always had a word of cheer and
was always helpful to me. For a
ureal number of vaara aha hiH a
claw of-boys in the Sunday school
and they were ever devoted to her,
indeed the devotion was mutual.
Her class was No. 5, and when she

died they ordered a design from the
florist, a figure five.
The pall-bearers weija her S.unday
school class, G. L. Cook, J. W.

D. Collins, Calvin Brown, Lawrence
Moye, Carter Cooper, G. R. Moye,
John Allen, Carl D. Harper.
Monday afternoon, July 22, at four
o'clock. -The chancel was a bed of
fldwers and made into many beautiful
designs, anchors, orosses, harps,
crescents, pillows, stars and erowns.
All evidences of love add esteem.
The auditorium and Sunday school
I annex was filled to overflowing
nnd perhaps so large an audience
was never before present on a funeral
occasion in Franklinton. Everybody
loved Miss Jennie and they
came to pay their laBt tribute^of love
and respect.
The choir rendered musrc appropriate
to the occasion and was assist,./!

Riverside Warehouse Opens.
The formal opening of the Riverside
Warehouse was celebrated here
yesterday by a big barbecue and a
big sale. The proprietor, Mr. E. S.
Ford, informs us that the amount of
tobacco far exceeded his expectations
and a big crowd of people were
present. The tobacco was a fair gf ade
tor the season and the price gpoa.
The break reminded us of the late
fall, as the floor was at least twothirds
covered, and the sale was
crowded with people from all adjoining
counties,/
The tobaceo market has been doing.
Well since its opening and the'
prioes have been very satisfactory to
the farmers, all of which goes to
show that the farmers who have,
tried the Louisburg market in the
past are well pleased with the re-<:
suits and accomodations they received
and indicate an increased amount
of business for this season.

would not aocffpt the nomination for
this office but he would accept the
the nomination for Treasurer. After
this the name of T. H. Wbitaker .was
put before the Convention, but not

much laughter.
Before the convention was called to

they had been , hard at work on- it
1 for some time they soon had every
thing all right and it passed oft very
smoothly, no muoh so that it was easily
seen that their troubles had all been
attended to before the work begun.
