STOKAOE WAREHOUSE. Mr. T. B. Parker, Siaie Direc tor ol I'uiihc warenousrs, was here last week, by appointment, to meet the citizens of Weldon and vicinity, looking to the establish mem of a large storage warehouse here, at least large enough to take care of all the cotton that rightly belongs to this community. He is in communication with ihe Cham ber of Commerce and will send a specialist here in a few days to in vestigaie in regard to erecting the building. This is certainly a step in the right direction. The farmers of this section have lost thousands of dollars, simply because they had no safe place to store their cotton. Let the warehouse be erected by all means. Capt. William R. Bond, soldier, scholar and gentleman, ' passed away yesterday evening about 7 o'clock, after a lingering illness, in ihe eighty-third year of his life. He was among the few surviving officers of the Civil war, having served as an aide upon the staff of General Junius Daniel. He was educated at the University of North Carolina, where he was a member of the class of 1 86 1 and left there to join the Confederate Army as a Second Lieutenant in Co. F. Forty-ihird Infantry, was promoted io first lieutenant and as signed to the staff of General Dan iel and served as aide until severe ly wounded at the battle of Gettys burg. The wagon train on which he was being sent to the rear was captured in ihe retreat from Get tysburg and he was sent North with other prisoners and impris oned on Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie. After the surrender he was parolled and sent home. After the war he wrote a number of articles concerning the war and gained considerable attention and mention through his history of the battle of Gettysburg dealing partic ularly with the charge of Pickett or Petiigrew in his pamphlet, "Pickett or Pettigrew." Hiscon tributions to the history of the Civil War did much toward giving North Carolina iis rightful place among the Stales of ihe South as to the part it took in ihe days of 18(31 1865. Capi, Bond was born August 20, 1839, and was the son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Bond. His moth er was, before her marriage, Miss Mary Rebecca Long. He was married December 18, 1872, to Miss sarah Elizabeth Hall, daughter of Dr. Archibald S. Hall, who survives him. The interment was in the old Trinity Episcopal Church ceme tery, Rev. Reuben Meredith, officiating. The following were the active pall beaiers: Dr. J. E. Shields, Hugh Johnson, G. H. Johnson, Charles S. Shields, W. E. Smith and Charles H. Smith. The honorary pall bearers were Messrs. A. B. Hill. G. Hoffman, H. Applewhite, Stuart Smith, L. M. Piiiman and Norfleei S. Smith. It would not be fining to let pass without recognition the death of one who had so singularly lived the life of a real Christian gentle man in every sense of the word. William R. Bond was a proud but timid man, modest, with the modesty of a maiden or child. A comrade of his in the war said he was the purest man he had ever known. He was proud of his name, his lineage, and his honor, but with an unassuming pride; with a priJe which never appeared except to those who knew him in timately and well, and they were few, for he was always reserved and not easily understood. He walked with head erect, with a steady firm tread, which was characteristic of his every thought and action, and which ex emplified his very life. He feared no man, beoause he had nothing to fear, for he lived truly a life be yond reproach, and without injury or injustice io any man. Integrity with him was a passion. William R. Bond was moulded of finer day ihan most mortals. In the truest sense he was one of "God's noblemen." Honor, cour tesy and generosity were counter parts of his character. A gentleman passed) ! What more could be said. Scotland Neck Commonwealth, June 21. Farewell June. The year is half gone. Blackberries are ripening. June apples are on the market. Next Tuesday is the 4th of July.

This is the lime of year when those people who like summer better than winter should have nothing to complain about. If the movies are responsible for the crime wave of tod ay, where did the people of half a century and more ago get their evil ideas? The only trouble about a dreamy pair of eyes, says the Augusta Herald, is that you don't always know who they are dreaming about.
