Revenged. Mr. J. G. Nettles had a
happy new year and merry Christmas ,
too. The South ebnbs readers will re
member that several months ago it was
in these columns chronicled that a cow
stolen from a gentleman in Rocky Mount
was sold to Mr. Nettles, and that his
search for the vender proved unavailing.
Well, on 27th of last month another ne
gro, lienry 1 ice, and it turned out he
was a partmer of the other "coon", aware
that Mr. Nettles was still enthusiastic
over stock raising brought a cow to be
sold. Mr. N. was a nettle this time, he
recognized the I cow as belonging to a
neighbor. After jewing the negro down
to half price for the cow, he summoned
assistance and di spite a spirited resistance
tied the dealer in cows, and then sent for
a magistrate and had a warrant issued for
him. Before Squire Rillebrew arrived
Tice confessed the theft. He is now board
ing at the Hotel Cobb.
Hamilton Railroad. Captain Hay
wood Clark informs us that his road only
charges three cents a mile for first-class
passenger fare. jThis is decidedly the
cheapest railroad fare in the State and
our people will appreciate it fully.
The distance to Hamilton is 18 miles
and yet a ruund trip only costs one dollar.
We have no doubt this accommodating
rate will enable people" on the other end
to come to Tarboro Jo do their trading
and return the same day. We advise
our merchants to strike out in that direc
tion. By seeking; they may find a bonanza
in this trade. j
The road has' bow a good equipment,
fiat and box cars and a very handsome
first-class passenger coach. A platform
will soon be erected bet ween the railroad
and the river bridge, connecting with the
bridge, so that' vehicles can be driven
from the bridge to the platform, for the
convenience of loading and unloading
freight.

Shivering Chtvalby. Notwithstand
ing the mercury stood a dozen degrees be
low the freezing point last Thursday nine
Knights entered the lists at Mildred, where
quite a number of people ventured to
brave the boreal breezes to witness the
tournay and not for a moment regretted
it.
The riding was good and the time, but
the score apparently nothing to boast of.
The Knights, though it dampened not
their ardour, were almost unanimous in as
scribing the cause to the wind which
forced so much water from the lachrymal
ducts into their eyes that they were not
able to see distinctly. Be this as it may,
artic blasts dimmed not the eyes of the
ladies who watched the tilting till the
judges announced the succesful ones.
The following were the Knights and their
scores :
W. S. Cummings, Knight of Golden Belt,
7; W. R. Edmondson, Knight of Last
Week, 5; E. C. King, Knight of Pitt Co.
6; W. H. Warren, Knight of Conetoe,
4; J. Corbett, Knight of Falkland, 8;
C. B. Hargrave, Knight of University, 2;
Cad Harrell, Knight of Lost Hope, 2;
Henry Harrell, Knight of Mildred, 1;
Richard Felton, Knight of Cold Wave, 1.
The tilt for the tie for honor of crown
ing first and second Maids of Honor be
tween E. C. King, and W. R. Ed
mondson, resulted in favor of the latter
thanks to W. 8. Cummingawho rode
for him.
The four first named Knights, were very
happy in the selection of the Queen of
Love and Beau.y, Miss Maggie Lane, and
her Maids of Honor, viz: Miss Ella Cobb,
Miss Jacksie Daniel, and Miss Addie Har
rell. In the evening over Worsley's store
which was beautifully decorated with
evergreens, the coron ation and ball took
place where from 8 o'clock when the
crowns were presented by the editor of
The Southerner until after three next
morning all paid their devotions to
Terpsichore with Rarest that .betokened
complete enjoyment.
DIED.
In Salisbury, December 26th, 1887,
Mrs. Eixxn II. Summseeix, mother of
Rev. J. N. H. Summerell, of this place,
in the 64th year of ber age. In the
Carol na "Watchman' it is said of her :
She has not lived in vain.
Like the virtuous woman described by
Solomon, Pro v. 81, 28 : Her children
arise up and call her blessed ; her husband
also, and he praiseth her. She was per
mitted to realize one of the dearest wishes
of her heart, and the answer of many
prayers, in seeing a son, whom she trained
for God, fall into the long line of her
ancestors as. a minister of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Through him es
pecially, as well as through others, the
will continue to exert a gracious influence
upon generations to come.
