One of Lonisbargfs Oldest Physicians Passes Away. Dr. Orren Littleberry Ellis, one of Loulsburg's oldest phjrflcians passed away at his home on Main street In the eighty-first year of his age on Thurs day night ot last week, after many months of . ill health. Apparently making a most wonderful recovery from an attack during the winter, his death coming so unexpectedly was quite a shock to his many friends. He was born in Hinds county. Miss.. October 7, 1834. He studied medicine in the South Carolina Medical College -and later graduated In medicine at the Medical College In New Orleans that cfterwardB become Tulane University. He practiced medicine in Loulsina until the outbreak of the Civil 'war, when bo volunteered among the first. He fought through the four years of the "war, wr.s wounded severely once, was injured seriously by explosure, and was promoted for spcclal gallan try on the field. Soon after the war he came -to North Carolina to marry Mrs. Mary McKnlght Egertcn, the widow of the late Charles Egerton. In 1875 he c oved his family to the present home stead lc Loulsburg where he has re mained ever since. Dr. Ellis was a man always loyal to his h;gh convictions, and alwa/ ready to Rerve his friends and his com munity. He was especially Interested in matters of education and was for years prominent on the Board of Trus tees of the Male Academy. He also served several terms as Mayor of , Loulsburg, having been called to tills office by a unanimous vote and with out being candidate. For many years he served also as a Justice of the Peace and so fearless and fair was he that the humblest negro was sure of justice before him, no matter how wealthy or prominent his opponent might be. . ... I Dr. Ellis had been In feeble health for many years, .During the past win ter he was confined to his bed and rolling chair for many months. He leaves a wife and one son, Pro fessor A. Caswell Ellis, ot the Univer sity of Texas. The funeral services were held from the resid8nJB-?n Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. A. D. Wilcox, ofythe Methodist church, i^who. read Berveral selections from the ?'Bible and Rev. W. M. Oilmore, of the Baptist church; who read a beautiful tribute to the deceased prepared by his son. Prof. A. C. Ellis, as follows: Friends ? Because my father did not hold the usual orthodox convictions and spoke so seldom of his own, be lief, I want to say a word now in order that his friends may better understand him. My father -was not a member of any church or a subscriber to any creed, because he had honeat doubt or the en tire correctness of all creeds, and was too honest, too open, and too fearless to pretend to accept what he did not believe. Though he did not claim to fully understand God's plan, he be lieved that the Creator of the Universe waa just and righteous and that that life only was worthy whloh expressed this righteousness, whether within or without the church. In a day when too many are sac rid-, clng character for wealth and power, he placed honesty and goodness above all, not from fear of God but from love of Godlike qnalltlt* In man and from scorn of all meanness. He believed that only rlghteonaness exalted a nation or a man, aad I never knew a storm of opposition. Or fear of danger, or lure of worldy advance ment to force him to aot contrary to hU principle*. He had htt human fra ilties, as all mortal* hare, but he ever held stedfaat to the principle* of right eousness and believed that the In finite Creator of man would deal justly with his creatures. God bless his brave noble soul, and help his family and his friends to take continued Inspiration from his fearless honesty and his . nobility of character. The service at the home being con cluded the remains were taken to the cemetery and tenderly laid to rest The services at both home and ceme tery were attended by large numbers of friends and the floral tribute was especially pretty. The pall bearers were as follows: Honorary ? Judge C. M. Cooke, Hon. T. W. Blckett, Dr. R. F. Yarborough, Mr. H. D. Egerton, Capt. P. O. Als ton, P. R. White, A. S. Strother. , Active? L. P. Hicks, W. H. Ruffln, R. P. Taylor, E. H. Malonc, W. D. Egerton, Q. W. Ford. Makes Good Showing. ? Capt. R. C. Langdon, of the United States Army and who Is detailed for Inspection and Instruction of the National Guard of North Carolina, was In Loulsburg Saturday for the pur pose of Inspecting the Loulsburg com pany ? this being necessary at this time as It was a new company. The company under Capt. Boddla and Second Lieutenant G. A. Ricks, made a most excellent showing and re ceived commendatory remarks from the Inspecting officer many times dur ing the drill. With an enrollment of forty-nine there were forty-five pres ent. There would have been forty eight present save for the fact thai the Inspection was called for 1 o'clock, p. m., and afterwards changed to 10:30, as three other members re ported for doty by one o'clock. This was a most remarkable per centage present under the circumstances. What will please the Inspecting offi cer as much aa anything else when he makes his report Is the condition of the supplies and the arrangement of the quartermaster sergeant, Mr. M. F. Houck's department. It i s one of the most completely and conveniently arranged departments of its kind to be found and does not fall to receive the admira tion of all who see It There la no trouble for Sergeant Honck to give to any man in the company his full equipment at a moments notice. Mr. Houck Justly receives the congratula tions of his superior officers aa well as the men under htm for the nice and satisfactory manner In which he looks after the property of the company. Home Demonstration Work. The canning clubs were fortunate In having Miss Ruth L. Evans, of the De partment of Agriculture with them last week.

It you cant fill up or drain the stagnant/ water, sprinkle crude oil over It once a week and agitate or dis turb the water. You can buy. air slaked lime at half price. Qet a lot of the good cheap mater ial and scatter over all dirty damp looking places, pig pens, privies, ctc.

The local newspaper Is one of the greatest assets of any section of the country and should be supported and encouraged as such not with a feeling of charity toward the editor, as Is too often the case, but In the firm con ? Tletlon that In supporting the paper you are contributing to the uplift of the community and the consequent enhancing of the value of your own holdings. Without your home paper your town would lose much of Its attractiveness ?s a place of abode, would become a barren spot In the field of knowledge. The community would be groping around In the Intellectual darkness of uncertainly and speculation, while other cities and towns would be climb ing upwajd and onward to better things. ? , The dissemination of nows would return to the ancient method of month to mouth, wKh lta consequent delays, distortions and ommiastot>s?~ 1 The business Interest* wttuld luBCT from lack of a medium of communica tion between buyer and seller, com mercial rlvalty would be on thS^yane, and the American spirit of "I will" would sink Into disuse and eventual obliteration. How many years hare you been reading this paper, anyway! And don't yon feel deep down In your heart that It It has been worth more to you than It has cost you?' How would you like to be deprived of the opportunity of ever seeing another Issue of It? In other words, Just how would yon like to live in this community It there were no paper published here, no medium from which you could ascer tain the doings of the people of the community, no medium of exchange In the matter of barter and sale, no medium through which you could make your wants known to the peo ple by climbing Into" a buggy and spending days In flrJvTn); from 999 place to another? Just how would you like that? The pill would Ve somewhat bitter wouldn't it? . Well, don't worry ? you are In no danger of losing your home paper. This article was written merely for the purpose of causing you to do * Uttle thinking along the right line. We want you ? all of you? to realise that this paper Is not being published Just for tho glory of the editor." <1 It Is a public Institution, it is an Im portant part of the community Itself It Is about the only Industry with which the community could not dis pense without Intellectual stagnation, for when people cease to read of home affairs their lntelllgenco pays the penalty. This paper is for progress, tor coot merclal advancement, for community pride, for the development and en couragement of every legitimate In-, terest that will be of value to our peo ple. We are laboring to that end, and we want you to labor with ua. And th&t our labors may cover, a greater field and bear belter fruit, we. want every family In the Community to read the paper to know what others are doing, to lend a helping hand In making of this one of the most thriv ing and prosperous sections of the State. Get rid of the idea that when you hand us a dollar you are "helping the editor along." You are helping the editor, yes ; but you are helping yourself more than yon are him, for you are getting more than value receved for your money. You are supporting a business enter prise that labors diligently day by day for the social, Intellectual and com mercial advancement of yourself and every other section of the' community. And no other business enterprise can speak louder or more to the point. BIckett at Epsom. We take pleasure in announ clng that Hon. T. W.
