When onrl'ito war c uumeuci d he j lined n enmpany of cavalry, (company I )
nl the ilr.l Va. Itcgini 'iii. It wis the lir-t to leave tho county, lie served
on the Petiin-iilar, near Vorktown; was wound, d on lite retreat of the army
from that pi. ico to Kiehinuud, and was sent to a hospital in Itichmood, from
there tu Petersburg and from there home on furlough. On his rot urn to tho
army he was pronounced unlit lor field duty and detailed as assistant in the
lio-pital at llanovir iluuctioti. While then, wits appointed enrolling olliccr
fur liinwiddie county, Va., and served in that capacity for nearly a year. Tiring
of which, he returned to hi- company, iheii in the Valley of Virginia. In the
hailleol Cedar Creek lie was again seven ly wotiml 'd and this end, d his milita

Na-h county, whore he taught foi two years wit'i sue'e-s. When Mrs. liruwu'd
health became bad he returned to Virgiuij. She died iu I SOU. llo spent the year
ISliT in Virginia, fuming.
In ISliS Ins brother, Mr. John N. Ilrown, of Halifax, was elected Hegister
of Hjeds fur the county and wrote him to come out and take charge of the
olliie, which he did, m in iging for two years. At the expiration of this term
of office, at the suggestion of friend-, he anuoiitiee l luuis of an in, lop, in
dent candidate for llie cilice. Ju-t before the election the Heiunerats nomi
nated a ticket niel Li- name was placed on it for the olliee and lie was defeated
by John Judge (as was lit.! whole ticket ) but ran four hundred votes ahem of
the ticket. Judge w is the lvepublican candidate for that oll'iee. Soon ulier-waiil-
he opened u drug store in W'eldon, where he made and slil! has uiany
warm friends. About ibis lime ho w.iscle. t. 1 Treasurer of tho U lanoko and
Tar Uiver Agiiculiiir.il Association, n pasi.iou which lie held fur about seven
teen yens, being by its iii 'tiihers annually re-elected, on account of the great
sati-faelion ho gave and his evident fitness for the position. To some this may
npp ar to have been a place of little importance, but at that time this association
was, no doubt, one of the most successful ol its kind in the South. In fact for
a lung time ii was ihe niily one in North Carolina or Virginia. Some days,
dining ils fairs, tin- crowd- wore estimated at seven or right thousand persons. Tho
Treasiiiir had to toil yt and dish-jts.: a!! ihe money i.f'tbis association, it being

How She Saverl Him,
SHE HAD BEEN HIS ANGEL.

Woman's Work.
T UK only person I ever met who knew
Jenny Lindin her childhood was Max
HroD'.'l. n, an old musician. I a-kol him
In tell me of In r, and llie old man's fur
rowed face became radiant wilh a smile
"Hi llli lllb. her?" said I .-III! blls
been the angel nf my life, the memoiy
of her Voice was my salvation. She and
I were once alike r r. We were young
and happy. Hand in hand we used lo
wand, i in the lields and un the hills of
old Sweden.
Years pissed, and she became llie
idol of priii-'es and kings, and from afar
1 worshiped her, us I worship a star in
yonder heaven. I tried to keep peace
wilh her but failed. I became a victim
of strong drink, and with that vilepa.-ion
ambition was buried. In IS 111 1 was
passing Her Majesty' Theatre in London
1 was soln r enough to recogniz; the clear
ringing thrill th it thrilled tie,' in my buy
hood days. I was pcnnile.-s, but dcUr
liiiiiid lo enter and hear that voice once
more. I watched luy chance. A crowd
of ermine-el.id men and women were
passing iu. I rushed into the throng,
evaded tho ticket agent and gained
entrance. In a shadowed rcee-s I
crouched and listened. L rcia di L iiiiincr
muor was the opera, and she was Lucia.
I saw her appear iu the firsl scene, joyous
and happy. I" very part of the character
she portrayed with heart-searching truth.
Then came the climax of her powers, her
ultimate mildness, the crushing of tho
h ait and mind which produced the death
sienc iu the last net.' I'or a moment
thoie was thrilling silence, then a tcuipc-t
ofapplaii-c tiinlo tho li use tremble. It
w.i- then 1 fnrg .1 ib.it I wa- a del.a. .1
vagabond forgot (he ihr.mg and the
lights, audall, save that I -a the little
barefoot girl of my boyhood's idolatry a
i'icen among men. I rtt-hed forward
and cried.
"Jenny, my little Jenny! I told ymi
so ! I said that you would one
day rulet he World wilh that voice! Speak
to me and tell me lint yi.u remember!"
"Put him .oil' put hi ii ..in!" slnon. d
theuiiilliliidc. "Hois mad uwav with
him!"
"A strong arm seiz-d mc. and I w nild
have been hurled out inio ihe darkin. .

"Spare him. and let mo hear hitn'
What is it. my p -or tu in?'
