I'ndt r tbc weight of many years, and the attending infirmities of old ago, Mrs. Jaioi P. Ilxymore, wife of Mr. German llaymore, of Mount Airy, N. C, has been declining lor quite a while, until Sunday night, February 0, lSOtl, at 0:35 o'clock, surrounded by her fcur daughters, two of her S"iis, her hut-band, and sympathizing friends, she passed away as quietly and sweetly as an infant going to sleep on its mother's boaoni. She was the daughter of John B. and Sallie Pittman ; born in Henry county, Ya., in the year 1S07. She wis reared in the very lap of plenty, her parents being wealthy, but in their declining years they were reduced to very moderate circumstances, throwing her in her young womanhood largely on her own resources. But in that fttte, as iu all others dining her long, eventful career, she proved equal t.j every emergency. She was mar ried on Jan. 3, lS3n, in her 23rd year to German Havmore, with whom she lived nearly 07 years, and the surviving, meek, model hus band, says, without one singie un duly harth or cross word between them. She was the mother of 9 children, all of whom lived to be grown, and S of them now living. Mr. John Hay more died in the Confederate army, on April 22, 1SC3. Her greatest earthly ambi tion was 6o to tear her children that they might be honorable, useful, pious, and prosperous. She lived long and saw all nine of them take the det-ired stand in the world. She was a strong Calvinist iu her religi ous views, and lieing much under the Oldside Baptist influence, she professed faith in Christ altout the year 1850, and joined their church at Stewart's Creek and was baptized by Elder Johnie Jones in the year 18GS. As the result of a severe attack of typhoid fever, she became totally blind, and remained patiently 60 for 28 years. Religions services were conducted Tuesday following her death at 11 o'clock at the home, in the presence of a large crowd of citizens, friends and relatives, by J II. Lainberth, pastor of the liaptUt church. Psalm 00, and Ecc. 12:1-7 were the jwrtions of scripture read, and t comforting talk made to con sole the bereaved, instruct the liv ing, and pay a last tribute of respect to the departed saint, wife, mother and friend. After which the re mains were laid to rest in the new cemeteiy, where the otbfr mem bers of the large fumily in due time will join her in blended dust, till ihe happy morning, when we all hoe to awake in tne likentsi and image of our risen Lor'.

A revival of relipion is needed in Mount Airy such an awaken ing as comes from earnest and con tinued prayer and supplication. It ttio Christians ot our town would ask God for a baptism of the Holy Ghost they would receive that bless ing. (tod's promises bear us out in making this assertion. It you feel specially impelled to pray for t revival, or for any other object in which you have no separate per sonal interest, yon have a right to assiimo that the impulse to pray comes from the Holy Spirit, who is our appointed Guide in prayer. In such a case, it is your duty and priv ilege to pray for that object as if there was no ono elr-e rray'ng fr it ; feeling that God has laid upon you a special responsibility in the matter. 1 oil have a right in such a case to plead God's promises, and boldly claim their accomplishment. And when the blessing c mes, you have a right to thank Gjd for it as a personal answer to you, no mat ter who else may have been pray ing for the fame object. Your business in the matter is with God direct, arid no ono else can come between, or in sny measnre take away from the closeness of the con nection between yonr prayer and (Jod's answer. Arrested Charged With Stealing Tobacco. June I-ewis, who lives in the vi cinity of Turner's Mountain, was arrested Thursday morning charged with stealing leaf tobacco from Mr. Hugh Hill, of the same neighbor hood. Mr. Hill missed his tobacco and instituted search at once, dis covering wagon tracks that soon convinced him that Iewis had his tobacco and was on his way to sell it in this place. The tobacco waa found at Graves' warehouse and had been sold by I'wie to C. T. Brower and Andy Beasley for $15. Lewis waa promptly arrested, tried and jjlaeed in jail. by do men commit crime, knowing its results? That is a qcettion which wili perhaps never be answered ; there have always been criminals and doubtless always will be, what motives can actuate some to their crimes are a mystery. Go into a court room and "listen, look npon the dejected counten ances of the prisoners, contemplate their possible sentence, and if you are not moved, then nothing will move you. We have never hmked njMn a prisoner without buing sor ry tor him ; not sorry that he must lie punished, because tlmt is neces sary, but sorry that he has. brought it upon himself, sorry that the law has been broken and must be vin dicated, sorry that the prisoner has so degraded himself, put himselt beyond the pale of mercy.
