Court is-in session at this town, and his Honor Judge BoykinJ pre siding. The charge to the Grand Jury was clear and forcibly put.

E. for this circuit filled the pulpit at the M. E. church, Hertford, last Sunday night. His subject was missions, and to say it was a grand sermon would feebly express it. The sum subscribed and collected was $1,25. This ' money is for Home and Foreign missions. Among the many loved ones that gathered here last Sunday to witness the last sad rite over the remains of Mrs. Hayes was: Dr. John Reed, of Norfolk, Va. ; Dr. Oscar MdMullan and wife, of E. City, N. C. ; Dr Jack McMullan and daughfer, Miss Pencie, ot Edenton, N. C ; and Miss Edith Hayes, sister of the beivaved hus- i band. These men with Dr. attached to their name, flooding the country with quack medicines, are be coming very numerous, and to at tract a crowd they have men, for the business, to paint themselves in the most heidous ways. A word to the wise just now W9 think will be prudent. Beware of such men and their physic. Those of them who sell standard medicines, and who come even year are the most reliable. For instance Dr. No witizky comes twice a year among our people and they are glad to see him, and his medicines are sold to nearly every family in this sec tion. His medicines stand the test.

He has cast his lot with us, and his family will come some 1 time the first of the Fall. IN MEMORIAM. While we cannot understand why the one should be taken and the other left, we are confident that God knows best and we are His. Indeed "The golden bowl has been broken and the silver cords unstrung;' that bowl over flowed with our love, those cords .bound heart to heart. For God in his wisdom has taken from our midst a choicest flower, one He found more befitting for a heaven ly home, and from the pains and toils of earth conveyed it to that 'sweet rest,' On the 22nd of March at 5 P. M., in her home at Whaleysville, Va., Mrs. Emily McMullan Hayes, wife of Mr. Jesse Hayes, died of pneumonia. Her remains were brought here Saturday and, after a touching burial service, were in terred in her father's square in the cemetery, Sunday at 11:30 A. M. She was sick only a few day and no one knew the near end. Mrs. Hayes was born 1867, mar ried 1889. She was the oldest child of Mr. L. W. McMullan, an alumna of Wesleyan Female Col lege, a devote member of the M. E. church, a serving christian, a devoted daughter and wife, a loving sister and mother, a true friend. Her work in the church can only be repaid by the treasurer in heaven. Upon conquered tempta tions, she had built a character strong and noble ;by deeds of kind ness, she had filled a crown with stars of glory ; by an honest Unas suming christian life, she had won the friendship of all ; with her in telligence and brightness, she had drawn within her circle number less admirers; for, toknowher,was to love her. In the pureness of such a life man sees that God is love; in the calmness of such a death, he recognizes God as our Father, for when the end had come, and the cold, cold hand was upon her, when the angel whispered and her soul was loosed from its snares, her face was radiant with the re flection of that angel's smile, and her lips half parted with the last chanting 'Sweet Rest.' The uni versal demonstration at the funeral was the most touching we have ever witnessed and stands an in dex to her universal friendship. We sympathize much with the ber?aved husband and family and shed an extra tear for little Mary, (her only child) who scarcely re alizing the; strength of a mother's love, said, 'My. mama is in heaven." Yes, dear little one, a bright star has gone out from our lives and left a dark cold space in the firmament of our hearts, but only gone out to shine brighter, in the infinite bosom of heaven, "be yond the stare where there is no night, no darkness, forever and forever.- - .
