OBITUARY.
The death of Mr. William E
Bass who died at his residence
in the town last Saturday lias
inflicted upon the community
and surrounding country a loss
which is keenly felt, by all who
had the privilege of his acquain
tance. Mr. Bass was born in
the county of Sampson vor? the
8th of August 1830 and hence
was in the G7.th year of his age.
He had been a great sufferer
for years with a painful and in
curable malady, but through it
all up to a few hours before his
death, he stood up with manly
courage to all the duties of his
busy life. He moved to Dunn
in 1887 and engaged in the gro
cery and shipping business,-and
built up a reputation for hon
esty and fair dealing, of ' which
he was justly proud, and which
his friends remember with
pleasure.
He enjoyed the confidence of
a very large circle of customers
who will sadly miss him from
Ins accustomed haunts for it
was his pleasure as well as
principle to pay the farmers the
highest rfrices possible for their
products. As his j neighbors
and friends gather around his
grave they can pay to his mem
ory that highest tribute ever
paid to man, "He feared God
and loved his fellow man." j
Mr. Bass leaves a wife, two
daughters and an orphaned
grand daughter to mourn their
loss, but they do not mourn as
those who have no hope, for he
left them the precious assur
ance, that his house was in or
der, and that lie was walling to
meet the pale messenger who
must sooner or later come to us
all.
May the God of the widow
and orphan comfort them in
this dark hour of their sore be
reavement, and may they be en
abled to say in truth, "Not
our will, but Thine be done."
"The Lord gave, the Lord hath
Ljf tjie Lord "

Praise, te thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run

From Our News If ox.
Sometime ago we placed a
news box at the postoffice for
the convenience of our friends.
We have received several news
items from it and we would urge
our friends to sign their names
to all articles dropped m it or
they may never be ' printed.
We find an item in it to-day
signed "J." We don't know
who "J" is. We don't want
the name to publish but to know
who the author is so if required
we could give it. The item is
of . some importance and we give
it but cannot vouch for its accu
racy. Here it is : j
"Prof. A. L. Jackson, ot
Wayne county, and a Mormon
preacher got into an argument
about Scripture and did not
agree and fell out and; got into
a little fight when the preacher
drew a revolver and shot Jack
son down. He 1 i v e d long
enough to write a note giving
the full details. The preacher
was arrested' and lodged j in
Goldsboro jail. Jackson had
only oeen married about J tlrree
weeks. I think the people j of
N. C. better rise up against the
Mormon preachers and drive
them from our State."

On July 2nd the death mes-
seneer came to the body ot Airs
Mary Ann Wilburn, the loving
- -r ' -r-r ITT'11 J 1
wife of Mr. J . 21. wiiDurn, ana
called her from time to eternity.
She had been a faithful and con
sistent member of the Methodist
church for many years. Her
rpmains were taken to Olive
Branch church and funeral ser
vices conducted by Rev. Isaac
Avent assisted by Rev. Mr.
Stamev. She leaves a husband
and six children to moUrn their
loss. A gentle and loving wife
a kind and affectionate mother
but the Lord in his wisdom and
mercy saw fit to take her away
She has only gone before and
is waiting for her bereaved
friends. May the Lord bless
and comfort them in their loss
and may they feel that their loss
is her eternal gain.
M. M.
Tliej Old ami Reliable.
Such as the above sentence
can only be used, when -one
speaks of The Lee Hardware
J-Company. It, is justly used,
and not only, is it reliable, but
one of, and perhaps the largest,
hardware firms in Harnett
county.' It has behind it a
record well worthy of mention,
and such history can only le
won by enterprise and push,
both of these qualities connect
ed with that all necessary quality-
strictly business As it
looks back upon the years past
and gone it does" so with a de
gree of pleasure, and as the
future is surveyed with even
brighter prospects ahead, the
manager: feels stimulated to
still greater possibilities to be
reached. The friends and cus
toraers made during the past
few years are of such material
that Mr. Lee feels safe in their
hands, knowing that what is
their interest is his, and his in
terest their interest. Both be
ing thus linked together the
firm moves onward and upward
and is to-day upon solid and
sure foundation .
In the year 1890 the firm
name was McKay, Lee & Co.,
and under this name did a
flourishing business and Jan.
1st 1891 the large brick build
ing in which it is now located
was completed and has since
gone on in the s;ame building;
each year adding new depart
ments and increasing the stock
each year. In the year 1892
the business was bought and
assumed its present name, The
Lee Hardware Company, with
Mr. E. Lee manager. To say
that this firm is well experi
enced in its line is a mild way
putting it. They are experi
enced in buying as well as sell
ing. They are ever on the alert
with an eye single to the ; in
terest of their customers. They
do not claim to give tleir goods
away, neither do they ; claim to
be extortioners, but a reasonable
profit seems to Jbe their motto,
and under this plan their busi
ness has been , steadily increasing-
They sell anything from a
gun cap to a steam saw mill m
the liardware line. In furni-.
ture they can make- the man
ashamed who would rest his
care-worn' body on tlie cold
sod in order to escape the pur
chase of. a beadstead. Any
thing frorri a $1.;25 bed steafl to
a fine parlor suit. They make
poor men glad, and rich men
rejoice that such prices are to
be had in the town of Dunn.
What more can be said of this
firm? Much might be said but
this must suffice. Mr. ELee,
the manager is a highly respect
ed christian gentleman and one
in whom everybody has con
fidence. May the Lee Hardware Co.,
ever prosper is the wish of a
customer and friend.

Mrs. Harriet L. Norris, wife
of Mr. B. H. Norris who lives
about three miles from town,
died last night at 11 o'clock at
the age of 53 years. She had
been a sufferer with consumption
for many years and had been
confined to her bed for several
months. She was a member of
the Primitive church with which
she connected herself some
twenty years ago and remained
a consistent member until death,
when her immortal spirit joined
the church of the saints in the
city of the New .Jerusalem.
On Saturday evening about
4 o'clock at his residence on
Broad street, Mr. W. E. Bass
peacefully passed away in the
b7th-year of his age, after a
short confinmerit to his room
with a disease of which lie had
been a sufferer for years. His
remains were taken sto his old
home in Sampson Sunday and
interred. He wras conscious of
his condition and had made a
disposition of all his business
affairs. .He requested that Mr.
J. L. Thompson should take his
body to its burial place which
Mr. Thompson did. He had
many friends in Dunn who ad
mired his honesty and business
ptegrity who mourn with the
grief stricken family.
We learn that Mrs. Ransom
West died at her home in West-
jbrook's township, Sampson
county, Tuesday"evening, July
(th, after a short illness in the
47th year of her age. Hers was
indeed a sad death. Only a few
(days before she noticed ah in
flamed place on the corner of
her mouth which proved to be
erysipejas, which spread rapid
ly, and inside her mouth and
down into the throat which
caused her great suffering un
til relieved by death. She leaves
behind a husband, ten children,
three boys and seven girls, and
a host of friends. She had been
a consecrated 'member of the
Free Will Baptist church at
Shady Grove for 14 years.
Funeral services were held at
the residence Wednesday even
ing by Rev. R. C. Jackson and
the remains interred in the
family burying ground.
