Two hundred and fifteen applications for church mem bership one hundred and twenty-five to the M. E church, sixty-five to the M. P. church, fifteen to the Baptist, and ten to the Presbyterian. Over five hundred mtn came up under a pledge to abstain from intoxicating liquors of any kind. Cider sellers knocked the bungs out and poured the cider into the street.

That would never have been done if it had b e 1 intended that tin plate should really be made in the Unit ed States. Cheap nig tin is required for a real tin plate industry.

Born and reared in sight of the town of Wilson, his life has been spent in our midst in the exemplifi cation of the highest type of the citizen, the patriot and the Christian. Full of years and honory and first in the hearts of his people, in the words of Randolph on the death of Macon, we feel that the last of the old Romans is gone. He had represented tho county and dis trict in the House and Senate, and, until advancing age prevented, he was an in fluential factor in public life.
