Commissioners Sale of Land rursuant to an oruer oi the Superior court of Warren County made in the petition for the sale of land for partition in the matter of Lewis T. Christmas, et als., ex parte, I will on TUESDAY, the 14 day of FEB RUARY, 1911, sell at public au ction, for cash, to the hi w. bidder at the Court House door in Warrenton, N. C., the follow ing described tract of land sit uated in Warron County, N. C, adjoining the lands of the late Erasmus Christmas, H. J, Green and others, and bounded as fol lows, to wit: beginnng at a stone on the south-east side of the Warenton Road and running thence South 57 E. 186 poles to a Holly bush, thence North 85i East 4G poles ten links to a pine, thence Norh 37 East 23 poles to a sweet gum standing on the south side of Fishing creek, thence up the creek its various courses to the Long Brdge, thence across the road south- westwardly to the beginning, From the Warrenton Male Ac ademy he went to Randolph-Macon College, then located at Boyd ton, Virginia, and from that Institution, in 1859, he was graduated with the highest hon or of his class and of the College. He then, with the purpose to prepare himself thoroughly for! the Christian Ministry, com menced a special course of study at the University of Virginia. . Upon the breaking out of the war, he returned to . his home, and enlisted in May, 1861 in the Warren Rifles, Company, C. Second Regiment, Volunteers, afterwards Twelfth Regiment N. C. State Troops; and was promoted from the Captaincy of that Company to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Regimet on the 24th of May 1863 That rank he held throughout the Jwar, al- - Alw . l-.K J.J. X .'' v . ' - tached from his Regimnt and appointed to higher commands, notably to the command of Hokes old brigade, at the battle of Beale Grovet, October 19th 1864, in which battle he lost his left arm. He richly deserved a per manent promotion, ' but the unfortunate interference of the Richmond Civil authorities in the affairs of his Regiment, un known to tho Military powers, the particulars of which would be inappropriate to mention in this sketch, prevented. This . writer, with others more competent to judge than himslf, has always thought that Coolnel Davis was the best equipped soldier of his grade in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was thoroughly just in the treatment of the men, a disciplinarian without being a martinet, brave vigilant, sagacious and under fire, calm. In every battle in which he participated-nearly every one fought by the Army of Northern Virginia up to the one in which he was disabled, his clear and resonant voice, without tremor or excitement, could be heard n the din of bat tle and the roar of cannon and musketry, giving steadiness to ana while encased acted . un derthe injunction, "Whatever thy hand f indeth to do, do it with thy might." He was from his boyhood of a deeply pious disposition. There was no need for him to announce, as by a creed, that he was a christian. His conduct in all his life gave notice that he was guided by the principles taught in the Four Gospels. He was always on the right side of every question involving public morality, or private conduct. He was generous and forbear ing m nis disposition and con siderate for the opinions of thosQ who differed from him, and charitable to those who had commtted open faults. His modesty and gentle bearing were as distinctly marked in his every day life as were the heroic dualities that made him such a distinguished soldier. He was always ready to express nis u pinion in every matter of pub lic consequences, but in the pri vate concern of individuals and their intersts he never inter fered unless his advice was sought. In the year 1885 he was ordain ed a minister of the Methodist Church, and was able and faith ful in his sacred calling, until September 1897 while engaged in religious services, in the pul pit, he was taken ill with para!- i i n t i 1 7 jysis, the eiiects oi wnicn were so serous as to compel his retire ment from the ministry. After that calamity, there were only a few occasions when the writer was able to see Colonel Davis, but when such arose he availd himself of the opportuni ty. As time passed by, the in telect, in sympathy with the bodv. grew teenier, un one 10 r particular visit, at our first - - - A. greetings, jus lace lighted up and its expression was natural; but bye and bye, when, in the course of the conversation a question was asked concerning some partiular part which he took in one of the great battles of the War, a shade of distress neautiful marrias-e was sol emnized in the M. E. Church on Wednesdy evening, January the 11th. Miss Sallie Miles Johnston becoming the bride of Mr. John Pelopidas Leach. The church was beautifully decorated in white and green; festoons of ivy, growing hyacinths, narcissus and ferns being used with char ming effect ;myriads of candles throwing a subdued radiance over the scene. Just before the ceremony, "0 Promise Me" was sung uy iirs. J. r. rippen, a sister of the erroom. At 9 o'- iock, the appointed hour, Men delssohn's Wedding March was skillfully rendered by Miss Carrie Helen Moore, while the bridal party entered as follows; first the ushers, Messrs. J. P. Pippen, R. E. Morriss, T. N. Harrison, Jr., and Dr. Willis Al ston. Next came the daintv lit tle flower girl Miss Ellen Doug las Pippen, a niece of the groom, ami uie nanasome nttie ring bearer, Master Fredrick Fetter, nephew of the bride. Following these were the dame of honor, Mrs. F.A. Fetter, of Wlming ton.JM. C, and maid of honor, Miss Rebie Johnston, both sis ters of the bride, handsomely gowned in pink messaline ' with crystal trimmings, wearing black picture hats and carrying pink roses. Then came the lovely bride, attired in white chiffon satin and pearls, carrying brides roses, with her brother, Mr. L.M. Johnston, of Wilmington, while the groom with his best man. Mr. H. B. Tarry, entered from the rear of the church, meeting them at the altar, the ceremony being impressively performed by Rev. R. H. Willis. The nridal party drove immedi ately to the residence of the groom's parents, Capt. and Mrs. J. P. Leach, where an elegant reception was tendered them, The presents consisting of sil ver, cut glass, china, linen, etc, were numerous and beautiful. Mr. andlMrs. Leach left on the mid-night train for an extended Northern trip. Mr. Leach is one of the most prominent and successful young business men of this section, while his bride, who is a daugh ter of that well remembered Con federate soldier, Col. W. A. Johnston, and a niece of Mr. T. J. Miles, is one of Littleton's most popular young women ac complished, attractive and of the highest intrinsic worth. Mr. and Mrs. Leach take with them the warmest good wishes of a host of friends. Gupton-Shearin. Areola, N. C. Jan., 12, 1911: A very pretty marriage, of much iterest, took place here to-day at the Methodist Church when Miss Bettie Gupton of this place was married to Mr. Robert Shearin, of Rocky Mt. The church was very tastily decorated in- white and green anof the soft light of many can dles cast a glow over the entire church, making it very pretty and attractive. Promptly as the organ pealed forth the strains of Lohengrins Wedding March, beautifully ren dered by Miss Mary High, of Whitakersthe bridal party en tered as follows, First came ush ers, Mr. Linnie Gupton, brother of the bride and Mr. Luther Fishel of Battlesoro, taking their places to the right and left, just behind a large arch under which the bride and groom stood.

The other young ladi3.in attendance were very prettily attired in white. The Rev. B. C. Thomp son pastor of the bride in his usual impressive manner said the words which made them man and wife. The bride is the youngest dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gupton and is a young woman of charming personality while the g oom is the son of Mr. Gard ner Shearin of Rocky' ML and is one of the firm of Shearin and Parham of that place. Immediately after the cere mony the happy couple left a mid shower of rice for Little ton where they boarded 33 for Rocky Mt. CHURCH. DIRhCTORi. V A K U J NTON t CI RCUIT. D. Cnviuess, pastor.

Regiment at Gettysburg, and its slow and painful retreat at Winchester, will always hear even the tones of his voice, com manding and encouraging. He was a favorite of General Ram seur; and General Rodes always spoke of , him, publicly, and in private, in the highest terms, especially as to his conduct on the field of Gettysburg. In the last days of the War his and perplexity flitted over countenance ; and then a settled resignation and silence. Past occurrences in his stirring and eventful life had lost their dis tinctness in his memory; and he was' conscious of the fact. For years withdrawn from the world, his family and friends recognized that he was no more as he was in the old days. But they had the consolation that in the knoweldge that his' affec tionate disposition, his simplic ity of character, his gentle na ture were still a part of him. And all through to the end, "as in those early days," his breast was pure; no guile taint ed it; only peace and good will dwelt in it."
