The section of country between
tbe Roanoke and Chowan irivers, in
faot the whole of the Northeastern
part of the State, is a favored sec
tion, the soil being fertile, for the
most part, and the climate favorable
t growing a great variety ol crops.
It is a noticeable fact that ship
ments to this section of the products
of other sections of the oountry have
been on the deorease for few yars,
while, a greater variety of products
go from here to other markets.
During several months of the year
cabbage are sold in all the towns ol
this section that are erowu in the
trucking section around Norfolk and
later .fro'n New York and New Jar
sey. But there is really no reason
why oar farmers should not supply
our markets with cabbage. A few
enterprising farmers have been
growing them for market on a small
soale while others' grow enough for
family use the year round. This
year we saw one of our young farmers
8. T. Gay, Jr., of near Jackson sell
ing potatoes in Jackson, and iu con
versation with him about his farm
ing operations learned that he could
have" nice cabbage, of his own
raising, on his table everyday in the
year. This year he had ripe water
melons July 6, about three weeks
earlier than most farmers. Last
year bis first ripe melons were gath
ered July 15. What Mr. Gay has
accomplished other farmers can do,

Ad Interesting Question,
A gentleman traveling in Or
egon some time ago purcnasea a
stone upon which could be plainly
seen the imprint of a fish's tail.
Believing the specimen to be a
rare one, he brought it to Boston
and with proper tools worked
atientiy and carefully five hours
eachdayor six weeks, picking
out the pieces of stone bit by bit,
when he was rewarded by finding
s perfectly formed petrified fish.
over seventeen inches long, some
thing like a cod in appearance.
The dark outline of the tail, up
per and lower Acs and small rip
bones is unbroken, the head is
very natural, and tbe vertebral
column clearly defined on th
light stone. The specimen was
found on a ledge of rocks on top
of a mountain near Portland '3000
feet above the Ifcvel of the sea.
How many years ago this fish be.
came entombed, or lived, is an'
nteresting question. Christian

: Mrs, W. It. Buufrham,
In toying remembrance of Elli
P. Baughaua, wife of W. R.
Baugunvm.; who departed this life
sixth month, 19, 1900, in the 29th
year of her age, aftet- severe ill
ness for nearly two weeks during
which time her suffering was be
yond human expression. For
more thao six years she bad
been a constant sufferer from
that most dreaded disease dys
pepsia," w blob doubtless bus ten
ed her final enJ. But amidst all
her afflictions she never forgot to
labor for the comfort of her bus
band, and for the welfare of her
relatives and friends, one man
ifested a childlike interest in her
older sister, deeply sympathizing
with her in her sore trials, and
was ever thoughtful of her well
beiog, aud to the end loved and
coofidenced her as a mother;
often remarking while in usual
health, that, "She loved "Sallie'
ass sister but "Sis" as a mother.'
Her affection during her last
sickness was almost indescriba
ble. It extended i.ot only to her
relatives, but also to her friends.
She seemed toappreciate every
kindness, often expressing her
thankfulness, for having such
good nurses, end so long as con-
sciencousness and strength last
ed, would gather those about her,
in her weals: embrace, proving by
ac.ions as well as words, that her
love was far reaching. Ore ol
the saddest scenes, lo the writer's
mind, connected with her death,
occorrtd on the morning of the
last day of her life, when tbe dear
father, who is now more than
turee score years, visited the
dying daughter, and bade her a
lust farewell. As we watched
him gently lifting her fevered
hand la su and giving it the last
parting Was, which to her was
uokcows, she being too uncon
scious to recognize his voice, we
could bst be reminded of the fact,
that only a few more fleeting
years at longest, and he too would
be called away. -
Her funeral was conducted by
W. F. Jones, Pastor of Rich
Square circuit, who visited her
several times durrcg'her sickness,
and eudeavored to speak words
Of comfort to the troubled ones,
mingled his tears with thoseof
the bereaved acd who spoke in
appreciative terms of her value.
Abram Fisher of the Society of
Friends also spoke a few words,
adding testimony to her worth.
Her remains were then placed in
the Kiiugbani burying ground
near her two little babes who bad
one before, leaving behind a
dear lifant for whose life she
earnestly prayed; saying more
than once, that '-'She felt perfect
ly resigned to go herself but
craved that her darling might be
spared." But He who never
makes a mistake and who knows
what is best saw fit to remove it
only a few days following its dear
mot'ier s departure, and we doubt
not bt t mother and children are
now enjoying a happy reunion in
that better world beyond
She leaves behind her a devot-
ed husband who watched her till
the last, a father, stepmother,
sisters and brothers besides a
host of relatives aud friends who
deeply mourn the loss of one so
loved on earth But while we J
