Sunday morning our clever friend, Mr. J. J. Fisher, sent us, ready dressed, a fine rock fish which gave the entire family a splendid dish for dinuer. May tueee good friends be prospeious and live long and happy lives, is the sincere Wish of The Record. Death, of -Sit. T. B. Reeks. Rev. T. B. Reeks was born in Gran ville county, N. C, June 4th., 1825. Was married to Miss Annie E. Brame in tfovetnber, 1847. Died te 10th. day of April, 1899. Brother Reeks joined the North Carolina Conference S5T h-h M. E. Church South in 1844 at Pittsboro. N. C. and was therefore in his 55th. year as an itinerant Methodist, preacher. He had been in feeble health for some ye'irs which necessitated his taking a supernumerary ftbeiioc in 188. De spairing of the recovery of his health at the conference of 1893 he asked for and obtained a supeiannuated relation. During the work of his active ministi-y he served many charges and left wherever he went his impress as a man of God. He was anxious to do the work of the "ministry even when fail ing 'strenglit admonished his friends that he was overtaxing himself be in sisted on making appointments and preaching the gospel. He leaves a family of children who were 'trained iu'the nurture and .admoni tion of the Lord by him, all of whom a; e members of the church that he served so faithfully and loved so well. It was our pri'.e'ege to visit him sev- iiil times dnHir his slSiction a:id we alwo.vs found him rsi-nir-d, patient an ! ;-wa:t:':-e ?!;: niinmons that Ik frit would rr,u.p. to call him up higher. He lost, his home by five luet yea and nearly all of his earthly effects but none of these things moved him to complain his home wo in heaven. God raised up for him a home for the time Ueiug iu the hospitable home of his brother-in law, John M. Brame. Esq., where he died his own home not having beeu rebuilt. As a man and a citizen brother Reks was universally rived aud esteemed. As a minister he was always regarded as a pure man against whose character never rested a stain. The laige concourse of people who gathered to honor his memory, and who followed his remains to their last restiLg place tell hi what esteem he was held by his friends and neighbors. We laid him to fe'sl in Vhe old Brame burying ground by the side of his wife who had preCeteded. him to the grave. He rests from histodK&ndliis works ao follow him. J. O. Guthrie. J. M. Rice.

An attempt was made to arrest him and send him back, but he made good his escape. That "spring is coming'5 is a true saying, but that ''spring has not come" is also true. Two or three bright, balmy days, fooled some of us into be lieving that spring was really here, but "one swallow doesn't make suni mer.' Prof, and Mrs. Ciillom will leave for Louisville, Ky., about the fiitst of May, where they will visit relatives and at tend the Southern Baptist Convention, beginning on the 12th. For that rea son Prof. Cullom has advanced his Bi ble examination issveral weaks. Two cases of smallpox have been discovered just without the coiporate limits. After t9ing examined they were at once removed to tbe pest house and put under guard. This dread disease is confined almost entirely to the negro race, yet they seem to have no fear of it. After this week the boys will fietlle down to work in earnest, preparing for examinations-, which will determine whether they shall advance one class or be relegated to th:it number known as "fails."
