The following paragrah, from the
State Chronicle, ? will give pain to
many .readers of the Advance :
"Mr. Theodore Hobgood, formerly
of Wilson, who has for some years
lived at Seattle, State of Washington,
is dying of consumption."
A valued subscriber of the Ad
VANCE, who lives in the Western part
of the State, in remitting for his sub
scription, takes occasion to say, and
we thank him for it: "I am much
pleased with your paper; please con
continue it and I will send you an
other remittance shortly. Am ever
jlad to hear from and learn the
doings of old Wilson county the
home of my childhood. A Western
gentleman in speaking of Wilson a
few day ago described her as a town
of beauty and genteel refinement. "I
was much pleased to hear it. May
she grow on in beauty, and if possi
ble, ' excel the description he gave
her.
PERTINENTLY PERSONAL.
Meartily Welcome. -
"Our young friend and townsman,
W. H. Yarborough, Esq., who se
cured his license to practice law at the
beginning ol the present term of the
Supreme Court, has decided to locate
in the beautiful and growing town of
Wilson, N. C, and will leave one day
this week for that place. He has as
sociated himself with State Solicitor,
Jno. E. Woodard,who is one of the
leading lawyers of Eastern Carolina,
which coupled with the learning and
energy of Mr. Yarboro, this firm bids
fair to become one of the leading
firms of the State. The Times re
grets exceedingly to see Mr. Yarbo
rough leave Louisburg, but wishes
him an abundant success and much
happiness in his newly adopted home.
As we have said before, he is one of
the most. promising young lawyers in
the State, and has a great 1 future be
fore him."
The above is from the Franklin
Times. We heartily welcome Mr.
Yarborough to Wilson. He has as
sociated himself with one of the lead
ing members of his profession in the
State and will succeed, we feel quite
sure, in winning fame and fortune.
And he will also live in the prettiest
and most, prosperous town in the
State, amid a cultured, social, hospit
able .people, than whom none are more
so.
In justic to .both we may say that
in criminal practice they will be sep
arate, and only be associated in civil
cases.

Mj K. . L. Moore, who lives 7
miles from Wilson, on the old plank
road, had an experience last Friday
night that he doesn't care to have
repeated. He was on his way home
and was crossing Toisnot Swamp,
four miles from town. The night was
dark. The darkness was of that
murky blackness that you can reach
put after and gather in by the
handfuls. He was in a top buggy
and his horse was walking slowly
along right about the central bridge.
Suddenly a voice called, "Whoa!"
and his horse stopped. The figures
of two men took shape in the dark
ness, one ol whom stepped between
the wheels and said: "Give me yonr
money, or your life !" in true high
waymen style. Mr. Moore replied
that he had no money. The man
grabbed him by the vest and attempt
ed to drag Mr. Moore from the
buggy. This was too much and Mr.
Moore grappled with his unknown
assailant, seizing him by the throat
and choking him ' so stiff that he
released his hold and fell forward on
the dash board. The second man
stepped in just here and as he grabbed
hold of him Mr. Moore seized his
whip with his left hand and brought
the butt end down upon the man s
head. At the same time he struck
his horse and the animal bounded
away on a dead run. When fifty yards
away a Shot was fired, but did not
hit the buggy or its occupont. All
this happened quicker than you can
read about it. Mr. Moore thinks one
of the men was white and the other
colored, but the darkness was so
intense he is not certain about it. He
has no idea who they were, but
thinks robbery and perhaps murder
was intended. Such are the facts he
related to us yesterday.
A They Change, "
It was a big surprise to Wilson
people that Rev. Jno. N. Cole should
be moved away. Nothing but the
fact that Dr. J. H. Cordon is to take
hit place reconciles them to the
change. Rev. Mr. Cole has accom
plished much good here this year.
He has done a big vear's work, and
possesses the love, confidence, and
esteem of our Deoole irrespective of
denomination. Yesterday's Chroni
cle truly says : "Rev. Jno. N. Cole,
who becomes pastor of Edenton
street church, comes from Wilson
where he is held in the highest
teem. He is an all-round man-
excellent preacher, a systematic stu
dent 'a taithlul Dastor, and a man
whom to know is to love. Two years
apo we heard him preach a sermon
in Central church which ranks among
the best sermons we remember. He
is not brilliant but solid, thoughtlul, a
growing minister."
As to his successor, Dr. Cordon,
the Advance need say nothing. He
has lived here and our people all
know and love him. Monday's
Greenville Reflector says : "The
sermon by Rev. Dr. J.. H. Cordon
on Sunday afternoon was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large congregation
that worshipped at the Methodist
church at that hour. It was a ser
mon of much beauty and tenderness.
Dr. Cordon is one r of the most de
lightful spirits in- the Conference. He
is exceedingly beloved by his breth
ren and is a great favorite wherever
he is known. He has a noble face
and is decidedly one of the hand
somest men in the Conference."

Glenn Mrs. Mamie E. Glenn,
consort of Rev. E. C. Glenn, of the
N, C. Conference, was born in Pitt
countv. N. C. Tan 16, 1862, mar
ried to Mr. Glenn, Dec. 22nd, 1880,
and died at the home of her father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Cherry, of Greenville, who still sur
vive her, Nov. 21st, 1891. Mrs.
Glenn was happily converted, under
the ministry 01 Kev. L,. L-.-iNasn, in
May, 1880. She soon after joined
the M. E. Church, South, and, up to
the time of her death, had lived a
consistent, christian life. It was a
great pleasure to her to work in the
Sunday-school and the church, where
she aided much in bringing souls to
a knowledge of the truth. A sufferer
herself, she deliehted in visiting and
caring for the sick. She sympa
thized with all forms of suffering, and
was ever ready to help the needy
She was devoted to her parents, her
husband and her friends, and no less
was she loved by them, indeed, al
who knew her loved her. Those
who knew her first, loved her best.
She had a large circle of close friends.
Mrs. Glenn was a great admirer of the
beauties of nature, bhe was especi
ally fond of flowers and landscape
scenery. She possessed an exquisite
taste, and was endowed with keen
perceptions of the beautiful and the
sublime. In her last sickness, she
suffered much, but was never heard
to murmur or complain. As the end
drew near, she became calm and
cheerful, and being perfectiy resigned
to the will of God, she laid aside
the tabernacle of clav with which
earth had furnished her, and crossed
silentlv over the dark river of death,
