Departed this life on Sunday morning. Jan. 31st, at his homo in South Mills, Camden county, after a short illness from domestic bereave ment, Er. Frank Nixon Mullen, in he 82d vear of his age. The funeral knell announces a broken link in the charmed circle of our schocl days at Edenton. The year 18i)G has thinned our ranks as never before. Two years ago there were twelve on our roll of the 2,000 girls and boys at the .old Academy on the hill, iu the decade of 1820- 1S30 seven girls and five boys. Then the inexorable Kcytheman cut us dowu to nine five girls and fouw boys. This, thought we, proves the greater tenacity of woman, to life than man. 189G came, and death, he gourmand, swept off three of our girls in quick succession. Mar garet Blount, Louisa Collins, Annie Iredell, within three short months, sustained by an unfaltering trust, oined the innumerable caravan that moves to the pale realms of shade." Ind now Frank Mullen has gene "Where each shall tafce lis chamber in the silent halli of death," and five of us are left two girls and three boys, like weak swimmers in the whirlpool of life. Mullen's youth was a presage of his age.' Calm, self-posessed, quiet, I Ktmlinu. iiertverintr. These were I tho features cf his bovhood at school. Indeed, in the sense of characterif tics, he never was a boy. He was too earnest for the frivolities of boy hood. His manhood realized the promise of his youth. He was a marked success from his entraiice upon life. As a physician he was learned, careiui, tnougniitu, Bucccbu ful, and he attained the first rank in his profession. As a business man he was wise, ''sagacious, farseeing. He won distinction in his profession and wealth in his business pursuits. In social life he . was a model of everv virtue, as a citizen he was ex emplary and as a public man in pub lic life he was steadfast in his con victions and firm in maintaining them. He was at one time a" mem ber of the Legislature of North Car olina, and while not conspicuous in debate, as he had never cultivated the habit of public speaking, he was doubtless wise in council, and one of the most useful' members. Dr. Mullen was bereaved in the death of his wife about a month be fore his decease, with whom he had lived in the perfection of domestic , r I i atL ir ; V,a Oliss ior over uuy euro. w last ef his family. He has been our steadfast . friend from the time when he was Frank and we were Dick to the extreme limit of his patriarchal age, and we mourn his decease with the sorrow of sincere friendship. Water Works. We are glad to hear that water works for the town is a subject of interest and agitation. It involves the question j of health and the question of j protection against fire, two of the most important con siderations that can engage the at tention of any community. Cleanli ness is nex to Godliness and fire is the most potent agency in the de struction of life and property that we have to encounter. If (there were an abundant supply of water at a moment's notice in every 'occu pied house in this town, it would be absolutely safe against fire and these would be no necessity for insurance i against fire We are not an engineering expert, but common sence tells us that where an inexhaustible supply of water suitable for all purposes is within 500 yards of the town limits, t can be conveyed into the town by aqueducts at comparatively small ex- pense. Uur supply oi water is iresn. pure and' healthy, and only one case in over fifty years have we known it to be impregnated with' the saline water of the ocean, and it was only affected for a few days. Once in troduced into the town no house hold would be without its protec tion' and benefit. The following is a list of jurors drawn for the spring term of the Superor Court of Pasquotank Co: John W.
