It is with the deepest regret, that we announce the death of this well known and highly esteemed citizen which took place at his residence, No 324, South Blount street, this morn ing at 7:30 o'clock, aged 65 years. Mr Weathers had been a great suf f erer from disease for more than three yoars, and bore his troubles with all the resignation and fortitude of a consistent Christian. For a long time be has been a most devoted member of New Bethel Baptist Church and was noted for his many virtues in all the different spheres of life. Before the war he was engaged in business in Raleigh and was a most prominent merchant. He has since been con tinuously.engaged in mercantile pur suits here, and classed among our most worthy and reliable tradesmen. He leaves a widow and seven child ren to mourn their great and irsepara ble loss with whom in common with our entire community, we most deep ly sympathize. The funeral services will take place from the Baptist Tabernacle Church tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The remains will be interred in Oak wood Cemetery. A Beautiful and Flourishing Farm. Yesterday afternoon G F.Kennedy, Esq., superintendent of Mrs. Julia Fisher's farm, invited us to ride out to the farm, which is located one mile east of the city. We accepted the invitation, and do not remember en joying any ride so inucn in a great while. Mr. Kennedy is a most agree able companion End noble heart ed i entleman, and understands his business well. He has been in charge of the farm for eight years. He told us he had never bought any fonge or feed of any kind for the t'di'iu during the eight years he had charge; that some years had been al most failures with farmers generally, but that he bad made from J to 1 bag of cotton to the acre every year. It was a grand sight yesterday as we rode through the vast cotton and corn fields. He has this year one hundred acres in cotton and it will average now two feet high and is literally loaded with squares and bolls. Mr Kennedy confidently expects to make 100 bales on the 100 acres, and we are fully satisfied he will do so if not more than that, if seasons con tinue propitious. He has 45 acres in corn wnich is unusually fine, all splendid and should we have rain in a few days he will most assuredly make. 25 bushels to the acre. He had some fifty acres in oats, but they were almost a failure. Since harvesting the oats the land has been sown in peas which will be a great improve ment to the land. Take the farm al- ! together this year it bids fair to be a great success. All the crops are clean and in the best condition. It is one one of the best managed and finest farms in this vicinity and is proof that Mr. Kennedy understands well the business he loves so well the grandest of all callings farming.

A large meeting of the stockhold era of the new cotton factory took place last night at the Mayor's office. Mr. C. B. Edwards was called to the chair. It was found that a majority of stock was represented in person and by proxy. Mr Latta reported a resolution re commending that $50,000 of bonds, bearing 6 per cent interest be placed npon the market for the purpose of raising additional funds with which to carry on operations of the factory. Mr. Latta stated that, up to this time, $84,000 of the capital stock bad been paid in, and that it is estimated it will cost $120,000 to get ready for work, including 6,193 spindles. Mr Paul C Cameron favored assess' ing the 6tockholdrs to raise addition' al money. If the stockholders owned railroad or bank stock let them sell it and take stock in the cotton mill He had never lost money on cotton mills, but he had lost money on banks. Of all the cows he had an interest in he had found that cotton mills gave mor3 milk and butter than anything else If he were asked for advice he would say to increase the stock and raise the money. After some f.irther discussion the resolution was adopted. Mr. Cameron, after the adoption of the resolution, stated that he felt thoroughly confident of the ability of the board to manage every question of finance or economy that might come before it to the satisfaction of all. The meeting then adjourned. Nuts for Advertisers to Crack. The man who does not find adver tising profitable generally finds busl ness unprofitable. A business may be likened to an arch; if capital aad labor represent the pillars, then advertising is the key stone without which the struc ture must crumble. Was newspaper advertising a sue cess with you last year. If not, why not? It pays others, It ought to pay you, and will if wisely done. Ayer's Newspaper Manual. Let your advertisement, in all cases exactly correspond with what you really propose to sell. Be prepared to show the customer wno inquires the identical goods, and let price and terms always tally with your an nouncements. Half the battle in advertising is in knowing what to say and how to say it. Of all things don't try to say too much in one advertisement. Remem ber that "Brevity is the soul of wit." If you've a thing to sell, name it, with the price, briefly. If you want any thing, waste no words in needless ex planation. Mutes are said to make good ser vants. Illinois dentists are prohibited from advertising. It is reported that the New York and Pittsburg League Base Ball Clubs are on the point of going under. A Georgia man had to sell his last cow to pay the expense of a lawsuit about some chickens. The longest railway tunnel in the world is at Schemnitz, Hungary. It measures 10.27 miles.
