Editor Gold Leaf: When I read the nice letters in vour valuable paper from my neighboring commun ities, I feel impressed to help Epsom turn loose her tongue occasionally, for I am sure she can boast of as many good qualifications as the majority of her sister neighbors. We wish to say, that while we are young, we are, at the same time, on a boom. We nave two drv goods stores kept by the active and enterprising Dickie Mothers, two shops m which all kinds of repairiuir are carried on. both in iron anil wood-work. Two colored men conduct the iron work ing, while Mr. C. A. Woodlief super- ntends the wood-works, painting, etc. We also have two churches, the Baptist, whose pastor is Rev. G. N. Bray, and the Christian church, the astor of which is the Rev. Dr. Hern- don, of Elon College. Our post-ollice is kept by S. W. Duke, Esq., who is also prepared to attend to "Cupid's" business at all hours. Now, last, but by no means least, we have a tme nourishing school superintended by Prof. W. T. Alleu and Miss Annie Abernethy. These teachers are well qualified to instruct the "vountr idea" how to shoot in foreign languages, in music and col ors, as well as in his own tongue.

Two of the special articles in the April number of "McClure's Magazine"' are very fitting to this season when the new life of nature in the Spring draws our thoughts from the cities, merchandise and men to field and wood. Ihe first of these is a wonderful story of the beaver, written by William Davenport Hulbert after a long study of the auimal in its home amid the wilds. The author's account is made complete by a series of pictures drawn by A. Radelyffe Dugmore. an artist sent into the lieaver-country for this purpose by the Magazine. The second article is by Martha MeCulloch Williams, and in it she o-ives a ereonrie on "Ploughing." The reader is borne bv the magic of her syra pathetic art into a day's life on the farm, with scent of clover, song of birds, glint of sun. and sweet smell of fresh furrows The illustrations of the article are as delightful as they are distinctive. In another direction this number of the Magazine is equally attractive and valu able. "Walks and' Talks with Toistoy.' an illustrated article by Andrew I). White. Ambassador to Germany, affords. a vivid picture of the Russian genius's character and personality. An uisiaricai article of importance is by Ida M.

It furnishes les sons that teach its students to avoid mauy of the ills of life, and to attain perhaps the greatest enm of earthly good and joy. Born Nov. 17, 1818, before the birth of Queen A'ictoria, while Bonaparte wa a prisoner on St. Helena, six yean before the death of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, nearly twenty years before the days of railroads and tlie innumer able other world-transforming inventions and discoveries of later times, he fought life's battles with three generations of men and usual 'y came off victor. He was a cheerful, hopeful man, full of life and spirit. Barring the infirmities of flesh he was about as young and sprightly at eighty as at twenty. His fatal illness was referred to by the writer in conversation with a youthful business man of the town, in n'o way related to hm. He replied: "I'm sorry; I like him and he likes me." The words meant more than they seem to. Friendship and companionship between men of one score and four score implies qualities possessed by few whose heads are "whitened by the snow that does not melt.'' He was a grown, live, virile, clear-headed business man from long before th first upade of earth was thrown to start the town of Henderson until his last sickness two weeks ago. His holograph will written in January last is abundant proof of this if any were needed. During all those years his word was as good as his bond, and his promises were always kept and performed. He was during the greater part of his life a farmer, but for many years from its first building he was road-master of the Ral eigh & (Jaston Railroad. He was a long time a merchant. For years he operated a mill, he bought and sold lands, and whatever he did prospered. 'This long record of business success is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that so many fail when prices decline and seasons are unfavorable and bad trades are made. Good judgment, great industry, good conscience and the guiding hand of (Jod carried him safely through every difficulty. Jessed with Lhnstian parents, "trained up" in the way ho should 20. helped and sustained from early manhood to the end of his course by a noble and faithful wife whose love and companionship were all that he could desire, his life was a con tinual triumph over the forces of evil and defeat. He was not without hie full share of the afflictions of life. As a result of the war the earnings of nearly fifty years were swept away. His two little girls, aged and 4 years, died within a week, of scarlet fever. His first born son was slain in battle. This loss he felt all the more keenly as long as he lived; because he felt that President Davis should have accepted the terms of peace suggested by Mr. Lincoln at the Hampton Roads con ference. Another son in the prime of life met his death in a railway accident: still another fell a victim to disease. Four teen children were born to him, but only five survive him. Thev prize above all other earthly considerations the heritage of a good name and noble example that he has left to them of duty and truth and trust in (Jod. Truly "the memory of the just is blessed."' His parents were Presley and Keziah Harris Rowland. He was named for his maternal grandfather the original George Harris. He was born and lived all his life and died in this neighborhood. He married Catherine J., daughter of the late Mr. Ishatn Cheatham, on July 23rd, 1840, and they two trod the long journey together happily a "help meet" for each other. He was thus related by the ties of blood to the large families of Rowland, Harris. Hicks, Duty, Stone, Watkins and others, and by marriage to the families of Cheatham, Barnes. Bobbitt and others. At the time of his departure he had more living relatives than any other man iu the community. tie lacked not our love and veneration while here and yet we feel more keenly now than then what a treasure his pres ence, his prayers and his blessinsr were to us. May he look down on us from the sprit land and inspire us to keep our honor and the family escutcheon bright and clean; that we all like him may have "A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience;" and that we, as free as he, from the stains of sin, may reach the end of life.

Only the Two Clock Towers and Part of the Court Hall Left of the Mac nlficent Hotel. Richmond, March SO. The magnifi cent Jefferson Hotel, the pride of Richmond, was practically wiped out bv fire earlv this morninjr. All that remains of the splendid structure, which was built and furnished by the late lewis ointer. at a cost of over $1,000,000, are the two clock towers and part of the court fronting Frank lin street. The tire was discovered near midnight high up in the Main street section of the building and was not considered serious at first. The hotel apparatus was brought into play, but the hose burst. The flamea spread rapidly and messengers were sent through the building to awaken the guests, many of whom had to be dragged out of bed. nen tne jelierson Hotel tire was finally extinguished this afternoon. tne towers ana tne northeast wing were standing and these and the heavv grauite foundations, it is esti mated, will reduce the expense of re building about S5 per cent. The total insurance is $550,000. The total sal vage in furniture, pictures, etc., can not be estimated at present. The direct representatives of Major Uinter s estate are not here, and will not be here until Monday. Nothing definite can be decided about re building until they arrive, but those acquainted with Major Ginter a wishes believe the hotel will be re built. 'TIs Easy to Feel Good.
