Matthew Wilder, Esq., of Harnett County, near Winslow, N. C, is one of the oldest citi zens of Hector's Creek Town ship. Years ago he brought his second wife j to his home, n.nrl tn 1p t.lif mnt.lipr rf Viic Lhililrpn nnr! Pmnfnrt '-in his declining "years." A purer, sweeter, better woman, the wri ter has never known, a woman ainst whom he has never heard one word. She was a member of the M!. E. Church at Harnett's Chapel ; was always promptly in her seat, when the preacher came, to sing and to weep and rejoice, and to make all feel better who came in close touch with her!. She was a model christian, a tender gentle wife, a good mot ler, a true and constant friend.

'Matthew Wilder Esq., a more honorable, upright, christian gentleman, than whom the county of Harnett has never known, is now an object of pity. Feeble and old, and alone, partially deaf and an im paired sight will miss her so, upon whom he has so confiding ly leaned, and to whom he has with such certainty in his de clining years and failing health looked. But the' grace of Him whom lie lias so faithfully served for more ' than half a century, will be sufficient in his hour of sorest trouble; The deceased was buried at the cemetery of Harnett's Chap el church, by Rev. Mr. Stamey, the preacher in; j charge, after a beautiful sermon which he de livered in the j presence of a large congregation of sorrowing ones in the afternoon of Sep tember 14th 1897. Yes, Sunday night September 12th, the deceased retired as usual about 10 o'clock, in per fect health so far as the family knew, and while she slept the sleep of the pure and the good, in the arms of a trusted hus band, death came and severed the ties which bound them to gether on earth for many hap py years, and said to her spirit "Be ye free." ! All this was done so peacefully, so quietly; that not a member of the fami ly knew, that when wife and mother woke, she would be with the angels. When with the sun she failed to rise, her husband called : "Fannie I can not wake your ma!" When Fannie came, and too tried in vain to wake her, had felt for the pulse, and listened for the throbbing of the heart, she in all the anguish that reality had the power to force her. to feel said: "Pa! ma is dead!" and all the story was told. Imagine if you can, the grief of that fam ily, the anguish of those souls, when it was known, and real ized that she was indeed dead. That no more would they meet around the family altar, around the table, and the fireside, no more would they feel the be nign influence of her presence, or look into the. depths of her soul-lit eyes, " or listen to the tones of her sweet voice, or feel her hand soothing a fevered brow or have administered by her, cooling draughts to parch ed lips, for ma was dead. In all the years that have passed, sne lias succeeded in filling that most difficult plaqe to nil, that of step-mother, with perfect satisfaction to all,' no difference known, or felt be tween ner own and her hus- band's children, and none could tell the one from the other, by the signs of grief when she died. One was heard to say, "Ma came here when I was a little boy and in all the past, she has never given me or one 01 tlie children an unkind word, but las been to us all the best of mothers." May her example ong linger with those who to-day mourn not without hope of meeting her again. S. N. Betts. Winslow, N. C, Sept. 15, 1897. The Telephone Newspapers. For the past two years there las been in operation in pesth, Hungary, a telephone newspa per. It is the only paper of the kind in the world and is looked upon by its subscribers as a uxury, especially by those who are troubled to see to read. It is called the telephone Hirnon do, or Herald, and costs two cents a copy and is like a print ed newspaper. The thousand subscribers re eive the news as any telephone message is received. The main wire which, extends along the windows of the houses, is one lundred and sixty- eight miles ong and from this extend the short lines into the houses. Within the houses are long flexible wires which can be car ried to anv part of the house, or to the bedside of the sick or the The paper is as carefully edi ted as anv other one. The news is arranged and sent in regular order, so the subscribers may enow at what hour to expect any particular kind of news. First come the night telegrams from any part of the world, the events of the day, city news and hotel lists, and lastly, the arti cles on music, literature and irt The staff is on duty at 7.30 in the morning till 9.30 at night. After the copy has been duly inspected by the editor, it is given to "speakers" to trans mit. There are ten men with strong, resonate voices who talk the news into the telephone. They take turns in working by sets of two. There are twenty-eight editions of the paper given through the day and any additional news that transpired is added as new items. In ad dition to this, at intervals through the day, vocal and, in strumental concerts are given. At first these concerts were giv en in the Herald office, but now the wire is connected with the Opera House and Music Hall and on Sunday with the church es. The music is sometimes sent over the wires to other pla ces in Austria-Hungary and sometimes even to Berlin, Ger many, and in each place it is heard with remarkable clearness.

In establishing postal savings banks a nation carries its peo- ole forward a step in civiliza- tion, inasmuch as it is giving to them an additional security against misfortune. A person who puts his savings into the postoffice bank will know that when hardship and want over take him, whether because of misfortune or declining years, his money will be forthcoming. The fact that there is such a safe place -of deposit provided will induce.many to make pro vision against future want who otherwise would" permit them-; selves to become' charges upon society when misfortune over takes them or when old'age finds them unprepared to earn a support by their labor. To the persons for whom the postal savings bank is intended the rate of interest paid on de posits is of minor importance. What such persons want above everything else is absolute se curity against loss. They want to eliminate from life the dan ger that in their declining years they may find themselves with out the means of sustaining ex istence. Congress should establish a system of postal savings banks for the people of the United States without further unneces sary delay. Chicago Record. Mr. James E. Ferrell, of Burnt House "W.

He has used it in his family and sold it to his customer for years, and has no hesitation in saying that it is the best remedy for colic and diarrhoea, be has ever known.

Worthington's Magazine. 1 Rev. Sara P. Jones, in a re cent sermon makes these, perti nent remarks concerning the doctrine of "holiness" or sec ond blessing : "A man is never better than his heart. A clean heart is the need of every Christian man or woman. This should be the cry and the plea and the ear nest object of every believing child ot God : "Create in . me a clean heart, O God,!" Thank God that many people seek and obtain it. I don't care what you call it, whether the second or third or thousands blessings it cleans out and then cleans up purifies the heart, cleans the life and, thank God, so benign and wondrous and so needed a work of grace can be possessed by men and women. I welcome it under any name, and have a profound contempt for the spir it which would depreciate the people who possess it, or the great grace which has come to them." To Whom it JIy Concern : I have been in the drug bu.iness for twelve years, and during that time, have sold nearly all the cough medicines manufactured; and from my personal knowledge of such rem edies, I say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy gives better satisfac tion than any other on the market.

William Graham, a con sumptive, and his wife Jived in a cottage here. On Saturday night Graham apparently died. An undertaker was called in and prepared the body for burial, Ihe frenzied young wife was finally allowed to'go into the room, and in a par oxysm of grief she threw her self upon the body, straining it to her breast and calling'to her loved one to come back. It was some minutes before she could be led away, and then it was noticed that a slight shudder ran through the man's body. Restoratives and massage were applied, and within an hour Graham was able to speak again. Graham says that he went out of this life and journeyed ihto another country. He de scribes a beautiful road lined with stately treos, strains of music were in the air, and he says that along a ( pathway his father came to meet him. He tells of their greeting and con versation, and then of his' being torn away, called back to his worn and aching body by the insistent calls of his wife.

The correspondent of tho London times describes tho railway as "unique." Difficulty was an ticipated on account of want of water, but eighty miles out an abundant supply of good wa ter was found by digging to a depth of sixty feet. Fifty miles further on another well has been begun, and in tho opinion of engineers wells sunk at inter vals will rob the deserts of its terrors. Along the line of reg ular intervals are placed, small stations, with a plentiful re serve of water and food, so that in case of a breakdown nobody will suffer. That armies' havo in past times tried to cross this desert with less adequato pro vision is shown by the discov ery 50 miles from the river of 500 water canteens, evidently the remains of the deserted bag- eof some' small army. It s nopd with-some surprise that great numbers of gazelles are found 100 miles from the Nile, and traces of ostriches. Tho railway work is hard the tem perature being. very , high, dur ing the day. Rut the climate is healthy and at night so cool that the men need to sleep un der three blankets. IV t Very . Welcome. The following is copied from from tho. North Carolina Hap- tist, which copies it from tho Alabama Baptist, and it is re- roduced here as a matter of human interest. It relates to the recent baptism by -immersion of Mr. W. P. Fife at Ocean Reach, on the coast of Maine : "If our information is correct Mr. Fife is a North Carolinian, and a Presbyterian. Probably there is not aT5aptist preacher in North Carolina who would be so discourteous as to baptize a person while yet a member of another Church. Presbyterians have announced their convic tion that immersion is not a Scriptural form of baptism. Mr. Fife gets oil to a summer resort where the surf-bathing is good ; discovers that he has al ways been troubled about ba li . tsm ; nnd.s a slip-shod IJaptist preacher who is willing to "take in washing," and proceeds to net un a scene, lo make it mi- , passive, they have a season of i private prayer, taking along a i reportc.r to convey it to the j proper ers ; while yet on their , knees, though violative of Ros- ton rules of vocalization, they impress ihe Lord with a little SOI1g about following where he loads, and then no further to I transgress the teachings of the Churches to which they belong. No doubt such scenes are im pressive, but impressive for evil and not for good." Charlotte Observer.
