Death of Mrs, Huldah T. , Dawson, We clip the following from the Golds boro Argus, relative to the death of Mrs. Huldah T. Dawson. Mrs. Dawson was the mother of Mess. J, B. and J.

Dawson departed from its tenement of ci a j anu wwgeu iw way w iuh ceicswtu city. A long illness patiently borne pre ceded the final ending of a long life well worthy or emulation. For the past sev eral days the loved ones who had watch ed at her bedside could see that the shad ows were perceptibly lengthening the light of a beautiful life was growing dim with each succeeding day and while , the nnai end was not unexpected, yet it nas caused a deep pall to fall over the house hold, and hearts are bleeding today with a sorrow too sacred for human effort to assuage. The deceased was the widow of the late Thomas H. Dawson, of Lenoir coun ty, who preceded her to the tomb years ago. She was 76 years of age and leaves an immediate family of eight sons and one daughter, 87 , living grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and a large con course of relatives and friends to mourn her loss.

The iFnsiIier brigade, : yesterday, took Hlangwana Hill, the right of the enemy's position and . commandiog Colenso, the rest of the force advancing towards the Tngela.

The legitimate business of the place was the? manufacture of stew pans and kettles, but when trade was dull in. that way any sort of antiques for which there happened to be a de mand was produced Instead. . An old Incense burner, for example, would be reproduced by the dozen by hammering over a chuck. If orna mented with pierced work, the copies would be' coated with aspbaltum, through which the design would be traced, when it would then, be eaten out In an acid bath, saving the time which would be required to cut out the pattern; with a piercing saw, , The bath leaves thin edges, by which such work may be detected. , 1 aV The - work would ' then be annealed and would be permitted to oxidize and scale. Pickling with muriatic acid and salt, to produce a good coating of ver digris, would complete the Job. Some times these "antiques' would be pur posely broken and would be clumsily mended with .Solder or with pure tin if the piece was; to pass for a very an cient one. Chiseled metal was repro duced by casing and "dubbing" over with the hammer,' then pickling, an nealing and pending. In such ways helmets, copper and brass castings for antique furniture and the like were made. Art Aiaateur. iveii "Our little ton tmdrnms really "Can you "Oh. we Dick wants self.M-Ind!

' Madame Elrado, the palmist, made her appearance in Kinston last Saturday. She attended services at the Episcopal cnurcn Sunday morninor. ' When Are snd denly broke out in that building, shortly after services had begun, Madame Elrado was one of the very first to commence help saving the church furniture. - There was no hesitation in this little woman. She showed she was quick to think and act. , , She stated then that she had predicted to a gentleman the day before that be would attend a church in Kinston Sun day that would be burned, aud she thinks she saw nim that day. ; Madame Elrado had conducted herself as a perfect lady and this assertion of her's was not hoot ed at. d .... ...v4 : On Monday morning she offered volun tarily to donate half the proceeds she takes in during her stay in Kinston for the benefit of the Episcopal church. She did not do this, as has been asserted, to escape a heavy taxation, for Attorney General Walser has given a decision that she is not liable for State tax. Since Monday Madame Elrado has been rushed from morning until late at night She has comfortably fitted up rooms at Hotel Bailey. One room she uses as a sitting room for the accommodation of those who have to wait. , The other is her private consultation room. As one enters this room, they are made to feel at their ease at once by the tact of Madame Elrado. f The madame is dressed in an Egyptian gown and makes a very prepossessing appearance. She is a little woman, with a bright, intelligent looking face, and she makes a friend the moment onw comes in contact with her, . M She has a book explaining the science of palmistry, with pictures of a number of impressions made from the bands of famous people, one will gladly show this, and talk about - her science to all who may so desire. She has the skull and also the impres sion of the hand of a noted Australian wife murderer, who killed nine wives. ?A11 come out of Madame EIrado's rooms with smiling faces. r: While; some - who have never visited the little woman ex- Eress incredulity of her power, no one we ave yet seen express dissatisfaction at spending their money. But nearly every one expresses wonder as to how it was possible for her to tell past events in their lives that could not have been known be forehand, one also predicts the future, and many marvelous things are told of her powers in this direction. 1 ' . , Madame Elrado comes to Kinston well recommended. She has shown to the writer letters? of -high commendation from prominent citizens of every town she has been in in North Carolina. Thoss who have visited ber here for consultation are of the best class of our people. . t ; Madame Elrado has already given sit tings to 80 people. The church gets f 20 of this amount, and will receive more by night. She expects to leave Sunday for Greenville. . ' SEVEN SPRINGS ITEMS.

The company has not yet been organised bnt will be Boon. The mill win hare, about 7,500 spindle, with a capital stock of some 1110,000. Ult seems probable that the fusionista will nominate Marion Butler for gov ernor in North Carolina and S. B.

The senate Judiciary committee ? on Monday considered the report of the sub committee upon the nomination of Jndge Ewart, of North Carolina. At the request of Senator Pritchard, who , said he wanted to presents more evidence, the case was again referred to the sub-committee, ' , s : The secretary of agriculture says it is certain that there will be a considerably larger cotton acreage planted in. the State this year. Most farmers deny this, but it is their custom to endeavor to make it appear that they will plant less than they intend to plant. Dealers say a larger acreage is a certainty, t hey say very frankly that the farmers are going against tneir own interests in increasing' the acreage, but that the recent advance in prices is a more potent iufluemt lhan any advice. T , " ; . It is probable that the largest mm ton mill in the south will be located at Statesville. The Cooleemee coin puny, which is composed of Mebane, Dukes and other wealthy citizens, and which has an abundance of capital, will build a mill in that section. They have already placed the order for the machinery for 100.000 spindles and 5,000 looms. The mill is estimated to I cost two or three million dollars. This company recently bought Lookout Shoals, a very valuable water pow er on the Catawba river in Alex ander county, from Mr. W, M. Cooper, Of Statesville. They hate been investi gating with a view to building the mill at the shoals, but have decided that they prefer to locate the plant at Statesville, and transmit the power from the shoals . by electricity. - ....
