Ford, of Oak Hill township, after suffering six weeks with the whooping cough, died on Sunday night, aged 2 years. Mrs. L. N. Cavenish, of Stem, died last Wednesday week after a lingering illness of over 12 months. We trust she is now numbered among the redeemed in glory everlasting. Messrs. Campbell & Co., the Richmond photographers and artists of reputation, have already made a large number of sittings here. They are doing first-class work at very moderate prices. There will be a public installa tion of the officers of Knap of Keeds Lodge, A. F. & A. M., on Saturday, 25th. The following distinguished speakers are expected to be present: H. A.

The sweet little babe loaned by the Father's love has left the presence of those who would have clasped her to their bosom for ever and now basks in the smiles of Him who died for her: she has only obeyed the call "Suffer little chil dren to come unto me." A few days age we had an op portunity of riding out into the coun try and stopped at the hospi table home of John B. Elliott. He is a prosperous farmer and has a beautiful growing crop. We champ ioned his little son to beat him eat ing cherries. The boy went up one tree while we took to another but in a short time we found he was too much for us and we crawled down from our tree gracefully yield ing the palm to our little friend. The following is a list of candi dates for the nomination of Register of Deeds as handed in by a subscri ber : Jeff Daniel, C. F. Crews, B. F. Hobgood; W. P. Lyon, T. J. Smith, L. V. Peace, M.

Go it bojs ! we bet on the one that gets the nomination, as either one of these gentlemen would serve the county with credit. We saw Dr. Herndou's fine pair of horses hitched to one of the new Deering mowers this morning. The horses were fine the mower very substantial looking, and upon the whole it was a fine turnout. Hope to see a great many more just such turnouts. Edwards & Winston sell the new Deering mowers and their sales have thribbled that of last sea son. Why? Because they are the best mowers offered in this country and the people are finding it out daily. SPIDKR WEB PARTY. A Happy Social Event Near Minors Mill Friday aright. The ''Spider Web Party" given Friday evening at their residence near Minor's Mill by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Bryan, complimentary to Misses Annie and Nellie Bryan, of Edgecombe county, was a most de lightful, unique and successful social affair. It was largely attended, and among those present were quite a number of young people from town. A huge spider web, made of many strings of different lengths, was in geniously arranged in the house and about the grounds. The "guests, af ter alighting from their vehicles, ran against these strings in the yard and were entangled in them in the rooms. They were everywhere. The centre of the web was in the parlor at the hanging lamp, to which one end of the strings was attached. These ends and small sticks were given to the young men and they were told to wind up the strings, the ones to get through first and last to receive prizes. It was rare fun. They reached up to picture frames, crawled under tables and sofas, ran up and down stairs, climbed 'porches and wander ed through the grove. Gus Hob good won the first prize, a beautiful bouquet of flowers. S. W. Minor was the longest in finishing his task, and was awardedja h( v containing a fat and lively toad frog, which he had to open in the presence of the entire oompany. The prizes were gracefully presented by R. H. Mc Guire. A grand supper was served, and there was good music and dancing during the evening. Everybody had a good time. Highest Point in These Parts. The highest point in this part of the State is Bowling Mountain, in Southern Granville. It is about eight hundred feet obove the level of the sea. Hundley Bros. & Co., of Oxford, are clearing it of some timber,' and J. C. Hundley, the senior member of the firm, who has been superintend ing this work, says that since the re moval of a number of trees he can, by standing on the top of the raoun tain, see eight counties Granville, Person, Durham, Orange, Wake, Chatham, Franklin and Vance. Trains on the N. C, O. & C, D. & N. and R. & G. roads are cleai'ly visible from this point. Bowling Mountain possesses great natural beauty, and is supplied with a number of mineral and freestone springs. Mr. Hundley says it is not improbable that it will be made a summer resort. There is talk of building a fine hotel on its summit. Mining Capitalists In Granville. Messrs. Rife, Kautz, Bartholomew and Logan, of Pennsylvania, spent the week m Granville county look ing after their interests in the Knap of Reeds Iron Mines. They all say they are well pleased with the pros pects at Knap of Reeds. Iron ore found there is pronounced by fur nace companies as being of supe rior quality, running low in all detri mental qualities and high in metalic iron. Recent analysis shows this ore to be a 55 per cent iron ore, tak ing the general mining run. They speak in complimentary teims of the general hospitality of theSouthern people, also of their employee's taithful performance of their duty. It was Messrs. Kantz and Bartho lomew's first visit to the Old North State and they were very agreeably surprised. All hands were delight ed with the climate and the good people of this section. The mines here will be pushed for all there is in them. PERSONAL SAYINGS. OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TOWN.
