A colored boy, just grown and fresh from the country was walking along Cabarrus street yesterday afternoon with a five dollar bill In his hands. . The boy had an un shaken confidence in the world at large and his mind was centered on city objects rather than the five dol lar bill of which he was the proud possessor.

With a look of wonder the beguiled countryman saw the swift footed lit tle nigger dash past and as he did he "reech" after the greenback. The unsuspecting countryman was. not so slow in taking in the situation and he put out in chase of the boy. But the nimbleness of the town boy's limbs was too much for country .

Young, aged three years and five months. The above announcement will briDg sadness and grief to many hearts in this cimmunity. It has been known for several days that little Kenneth was very ill and grave fears were excited soon after the first appearance of the attack which proved fatal. All that loving hearts and skillful hands could do to aid him in the battle against the dread ful disease (membranous croup), was done, but all proved to be of no avail. His sickness iame with the wintry storm and he perished with the flowers. It is not very often that God sends into this world such bright-sweet- little spirits, as was tbot of Kenneth Young. His .pres ence brought joy and sweetness into the home where he spent his brief sojourn here on earth, and wherever he went there was sunshine and gladness. He was the object of universal admiration and affection. The home which he made so bright and happy is left dark and sorrow ful and loving hearts are bruised and bleeding; but he has passed from the shadows and sorrows of earth to the brightness and bliss of the Paradise of God. The strongest desire and the highest ambition which he came to know' while in this world was that he might become a "choir boy. ' ' Now he is among the white robed throng where he can sing eternally the song of Moses and the Lamb." The funeral will be held ifrom the church of the Good Shepherd to morrow at 10:30 o'clock. Friends of the family are invited to attend, i IS MACEO DEAD. NoNews of it at Washington Bnt H Is Phy sician Confirms It. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Havara, Dec, 10.

May Davenport's Burlesque Com pany appearea at Metropolitan Opera House last evening. Let us hope that the Davenport aggrega tion has gone for all time. The au dience was a kindly disposed one. It confined itself to hissing. We have seen audiences, that under similar circumstances, would have resorted to more heroic measures to evince its feelings. No personal or bodily injury was done tne Daven p rt aggregation and therefore we sav the audience was a charitable one. There was not one commendable feature in the entire miserable per formance, which was the commonest most vulgar and undeserving show ever presented to a Raleigh audience. The people of the show have all seen better days. Most of them are aged. There Is no excuse for such a per formance. The manager of the Salisbury Opera House, yesterday evening telegraphed the Davenport snow which Is booked to appear tsere to- n'urht, to cancel their engagement.

" Mr. Allen will have erected at Warren county a stamping mill and cloronization plant at once. BUTLER HOTLY ROASTED Tom U'at9on Scores fully. Him Vnmerel- Tom Watson's latest utterance re garding Senator Marion Butler is as follows : "As long as Marion Butler is Chairman of the Populist Commit tee it will be utterly impossible to get the real Populists to take any interest in campaign work. They knew him to be a selfish, unprinci pled trickster, and nothing he can now do will ever cause them to for get what a liar and traitor he was during the campaign of 1896. "Judged from the Butler stand point, Populism is a mere article of political merchandise. He is devo id of any sense of honor. Words are to him the mere tools in the game of deception . He does not mind telling the truth provided he loses no point in the game by doing so, nor does he mind telling an untruth even if it yields him nothing more than the casual pleasure of having deceived. "We harbor no resentment against Butler. It would be unjust to do so. When a constitutional coward runs away from the battle-field all generous men feel a profound sym pathy for the victim of a natural de fect of character. In the same way we judge Marion Butler. Nature made him what he is and he cannot help it. "To be foxy, double-faced, false of tongue, and treacherous at heart is natural to him, and when he be. trays those who trust him and de ceives those who are silly enough to take him at his word, he has no more sinned against his nature than does our friend, the 'Willian Goat,' when it fights with horns rather than mouth or feet. "Too much Butler limbers us in the regions of our faith. Too much Butler gives us the inclination to look with longing eyes in the direc tion of the mountains of Hepsidam. "This deponent has had enough of Butler to last bim a life time, IT IS BEARISH, The Government Cotton Report Iadfeatea a Ueayy Crop, By Telegraph to the PreBe-Viaitpr, Washinoton, Dec. 10.
