2 LAID TO REST AT HOME * v- THE REMAINS OF THE LATE HILL H. KERR ARRIVED YESTERDAY, AND ARE BURIED INOAKWOOD. MR. MOORE S BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS The Ilodv Accompanied by the Widow and a Party ot Friends is Met by a Large Deputation of Raleigh Friends —Fnneial From the Presbyterian Church—The Pure Character of the Deceased Impressively Outlined by His Former Fellow Pupil of Twenty Years Ago. “Why did Will Kerr have so many friends who loved him ?” asked a gentle man yesterday when he saw so many prominent men here to attend his fune ral. “Because,” was the reply, “he loved men. No man was ever truer to his friends, more self-sacrificing, or happier in giving pleasure to others. He never seemed to be able to do enough for his friends, and by his great hearted clever ness to them and his upright character, he bound them to him with hooks of steel. { “There was another reason. He loved North Carolina with a surprisingly pas sionate love, that was as fond as the love most men bear to their sweethearts. There was a touch of romance in this affection that came out in his calling his home ‘Cherokee’ and his yacht ‘Wa tauga’. This attachment to the State drew him close to all who labored for its uplifting and advancement, and they fully reciprocated his regard and affec tion.” According to arrangements which had been made, a detailed account of which has already been published in the News and Observer, the remains of the late Will H. Kerr arrived from Baltimore in the Union station yesterday afternoon at 1 o’clock. They were accompanied by Mrs. W. H. Kerr, Mrs. George F. Atkinson, wife of Prof. Atkinson, of Cornell University and sister of the deceased, Mrs. Patter son, ot Salem, the mother of the surviving partner of the deceased, Mr. S. F. Pat terson, of Baltimore, who was a partner of the deceased and who is a nephew of Mr.S.L Patterson, Commissioner of Agri culture, Messrs. Sloan and Boykin, of Baltimore, Rev. Walter W. Moore and Mr. H. L. Smith, professor at Davidson College, both of whom were school and col lege mates of the deceased, Mr. F. H. Fries, of Salem, brother of Mrs. Patterson. Mr. W. R. Odell, of Concord; from Durham, Messrs. J. T. Kerr, cousin of the de ceased, Geo. W. Watts, Julian 8. Carr, Leo D. Heartt, J. B. Fuller W. H. Hanks, W. H. Branson, Mr. Pat terson, brother of Mr. S. F. Patterson, Mr. Scott, of Mebane and others. The company were met at the station by Rev. Eugene Daniel, paster of the Presbyterian church, and a large num ber of friends. Mrs. Kerr was escorted from the train by Mr. W. C. Stronach and the rest of the party followed taking carriages which were in waiting, the ladies being driven to the home of Mr. W. C. Btronach. The casket containing the remains of the deceased, followed by the procession, was taken to the Presbyterian church where it was placed in front of the pulpit to await the services of the afternoon. Rich flowers in appropriate design were put about it. A little before five, the time set for the funeral services, the people began to come together at the tolling of the bell. Presently those who had been stricken came in, preceded by Rev. Mr. Walter W. Moore, who was to conduct the ser vices, side by side with Dr. Eugene Daniel. The pall bearers were Messrs. Leo D. Heartt, Geo. W. Watts, T. B. Fuller, Rufus Patterson, of Durham; Prof. J. A. Holmes, of Chapel Hall, Mr. F. L. Newell, of the Geological Survey, Washington; Mr. Henry Lewis Smith, of Davidson College, Richard Battle, W. 8. Primrose, D. H. Hill, B. R. Lacy, and Josephus Daniels. The choir sang, very softly and sweetly, “Come to me.” Mr. Moore arose, and read a hymn, beginning “Thou art the way,” a hymn, he said, which his dead friend loved, and which he had listened to with pleasure in this same church. Then he read from the bible, those com forting lessons in which occur, “ye sorrow not as those who have no hope,” and again “He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” Mr. Moore then followed in a talk of half an hour, which in every way was perfect. Mr. Moore is Professor of Greek at Hampden, Sidney College, Virginia, and twenty-two years ago was a fellow-pupil of the deceased, and later was a co stu dent with him at Davidson College. The whole talk clustered about the bible notions of admonition and comfort, which gave superhuman warmth to words that were tender with june-lights. From his opening sentence until he had closed, there was hardly the sound of a breath. He told of his lad friend of years ago, of how their lives had come together so naturally, and character-colors came out under his touch which probably would never have come to human eye except under the spring glow of words from a friend of his own years and of his own heart. Ripples of sunlight followed shadows in his picture of his friend, but it was mostly a picture of light, with only fly ing drift-clouds here and there. And it was all so simple, the telling of the tale, because the words were simple and put together with a finish that was Attic. Had the friend been absent, the scholar could not have so spoken, and had the scholar been absent, the friend could not have so spoken. The people drank in deeply everything that was said, and the shades of the afternoon seemed to make the message more sacred. Then, too, to many, memories must have come of the going away of a young man, of his fight with the world, of his success, of his purity of life, of his home love, all the time during his life, and of his home coming even after death to the folk and land from which he he sprang. Then, too, to all who knew of the details of the death, there came the picture of love and home intensified, in the giving up of his life for that of the child. Rev. Dr. Daniel closed with a prayer of much chasteness and comfort. So that when the services were over, all went out subdued at what they had heard. They followed the hearse to Oakwood. There Mr. Moore said a few parting words of prayer. Then as the little company about the grave were going away, the closing words of Mr. Moore’s remarks in the church may have come to mind: “For,” said he “let me tell you the story of his life, listen; ‘and Enoch walked with God and was not. ’ ” And he was now laid to rest among his own. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not sur vive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery ; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in re sults.” Trial bottles free at John Y. Macßae’s drug store. Regular size 50c and sl.

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican i*lustang Lini ment extensively advertised hero Induces me to tell you how useful It Is to persons In the livery business. I have used It for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stlfr Joints Ido not think It has an equal, and for such things as harness galls and rubs It is wonderful. I once had a very flue driver who was thrown from his car riage In a runaway and so severely bruised about hls shoul dors and breast that I did not think he would ever be able to get on a carriage again. 1 remembered, however, what Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses in case of bruises and had him use it constantly, and in about two weeks he wa9 as good a driver as ever, and not an a<-he or 1 know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but I thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful ness of Mustang Liniment.
