Dauk, u he rrM familiarly
known in his younger days, died at
Ragnettsarillc, and was buried in
dbekiughara, last Friday, ife
•dfved in the Cuban wwr, and has
been ill at a hospital, in 8«v*u
nah, for several mouths. About
a week before hia death, he untfc'r
tuok, like a loving pbild, to make
his way to hia pld child-home, to
get one more light and one more
kies front hia t&ur old mother, but
Uod saw At to take him array, al
most in sight uf the dear old home.
Thao too, he cloned hia eyes in
death before his fond wife could
give a parting kiss. Death, atany
time, end under all circumstances,
castsa gkmm over the home of
be reared ones, and leaves a lonely,
vacant chair; bat in this case, all
the environments were calculated
to intousify grief in the family
cirels, and culatge the sympathy
of lifo-huig friends. They hare
lain him away, dust to dust aud
earth to earth, to await the resur
rection mom; and while aympa
tldsiog friends mingle their tears
*tth the loving bereaved, all are,
encouraged to hope that they may
m^t again, where all is Joy and
peace and love—where sickness
and death are .never knuwn, and
storm clouds never rise.
Confederate Kntertaiuueeot.
Don't forget the entertainment
to be given fur the benefit of the
old Confederate soldiers. From
what we cau learn, an immense
crowd will attend, The cause is a
very commendable one, and there
is efeiy aasnmnce that the enter
tainment will be nnneually at
tractive. Lai everybody come out,
and let those -who cannot come,
send in and boy a ticket, and help
that much, to enable three good
old soldiers to meet their com
rades ou this aide of the river.
Some who meet at the re-union,
will never moet again until the
resurrection reveille shall awake
the sleeping dead who di«l in de
fense of Southern manhood. Who
would not give 26 cent* to such a
cause. Remember the date, Hay

It was indeed a pleasure to hare

the same sterling Democrat as of

love for his fellow working man.
May ilia shadow never grow lees.
George Freeman was in Hamlet
Sunday.
Tom Cooper is moving his dbd-il
lery from lie* goat farm to Ham
let, having rented the former site
T. F. Boyd’s distillery.
Where is the mad suitable place
for a distillery—out in the sand
hilla, where scarcely any one lives
or in a live, hustling town, whore
it is right in sight of your door. ,
Listening to ■ conversation
between Mr. George Warburton
and llr. George Freeman relative
to the remakable growth of Ham
let. They told of a conversation
they had several yean agu at the
old Hamlet woolen mills where
they predicted that in ten yenn
Hamlet would be quite a large
town and a railroad center. At
that time there wee only two or
three houses at the place and land
could lie bought for almost noth
ing. in fact Mr. Freeman Iwught
quite a quantity at thirty six cents
per acre, and only a short wh:le
ago sold a building lot of tlisaame
ground for 922G.00, end could soil
it all at such prices. Mr. Free
man predict* that in HO yean from
now this will be quite a city, with
factory* of different kinds, alec
trio can and so on. Who knows
but It will be as true as his and
MryWarburton’s predictions some
eighteen yean ago. The late Johu
Shortridge in his life time, end be
ia the first one to svor come to
Hamlet and give the plain its
name Urbeh he built his woolen
JfUtttore, said before hie death
Vthe whistles of tlio engine*
be heard orery hour in the
day before ninny years at Hamlet, i
Verily that prohecy has cornu true.
And at the present rate that build
ings are going up it will ere long
be a city. Kow ia the time for
some cotton mill men to strike a
beautiful location, a healthy town
for the operatives, good lielp of
our own countrymen in an abun
dance. Whv nor oomc on with
your mills?
Glad that the president of the
Rattlers Club of Roberdel has
struck a profitable buainees, but
surely he don’t intend te give the
presidency for he is uudoubtably
ths best qualified min in that
community for the position,and
improves ss the yearn roll by.

A Democratic town convention
was held in Hamlet Thursday
evening. M. C. Freeman was
