No death in Granville county
within the last year has produced
more genuine grief than that of
Vernon Walters. He was born De
cember 10, 1877, and died July 27,
l'JRi. Aa a christian he was most
exemplary; he professed faith in
Christ last year at a meeting which
was being held at Providence, and
joined the church, and has ever been
loyal and true to his church to the
end. He had a great heart, and
P'ke his Master, whom he loved and
served so faithfully, he found his
greatest enjoyment in kindness to
his family, neighbors and friends;in
disposition he was modest, kindly
and unassuming, always concerned
for the comfort of others more than
for his own. He was a man every
body seemed to like. He had been
ill for only a short time, and the
end came suddenly and found him
prepared. His home life was a most
happy one, having been extremely
fortunate in the selection of a good
wife who was a help-meet indeed.
He was an ideal husband and good
father, exemplifying before his chil
dren Christianity. He is survived by
a widow and four small sons, and an
aged father, two sisters and six
brothers. The death of Mr. Wal
ters takes from his neighborhood
one of its best men and one who
had a host of friends, as his dispo
sition was so gentle that he enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of all
who knew him. Rev. Tunstall, who
conducted the funeral services
which was largely attended, paid
high tribute to his memory and
pointed for consolation to the God
who could comfort all hearts; that
earth has no sorrow that heaven
cannot heal, that in the Father
above can be found consolation for
all, and that God would be a father
to the bereaved widow and orphan
children; that under the shadow of
his wing let us trust, and in his
word let us hope forever. The
funeral cortege was a long one and
at the family burying ground there
was a large assemblage for the
funeral services.
Death of Former Oxford Lady
Mr. F. J. Mallory, of Wellborn,
Florida, who, with his family had
only a few days ago arrived in Ox
ford, to spend the month end with
his aunt, Mrs. Callis and other
relatives, was on July 29th called
to the bed side of his mother, reach
ing her just in time to see her pass
into the sunlight of eternity. It
was a sad ending of a long, antici
pated visit but we trust a peaceful
and glorious ending of a christian
life. Mrs. Mallory, the deceased,
was the second daughter born to
Amos T. and Harriet Duty Jones,
who for many years lived in Ox
ford. Mr. Jones serving as post
master here for about 27 consecu
tive years. Mrs. Mallory holding
the office for him during the un
certain term of the Civil War.
She was born July, 15, 1838, was
married by Dr. R. H. Marsh, April
19, 1869, to Dr. William C. Mallory,
a young practicing physician and at
once made their home at Wellborn,
where she died having been preced
ed by her husband ten years.
As "Miss Bettie" she will be re
membered by some as a teacher of
their youth, and perhaps by a few
remaining schoolmates as an early
pupil of Dr. Shook and later of Mr
Jack Mills, teaching for the latter
several years prior to her marriage.
Please allow me to say that Mr.
Mills once remarked that, "for
readiness in speech and pen Bettie
Jones was equal to a Philadelphia
lawyer."
But neither her intelligence, her
fine conversational gift nor her
logic appeal to us today; none of
these waft the sweet perfume that
her life leaves behind ;none of these
bring the tears nor cause the heart
to swell. Deeper and more power
ful than all else stand out her sweet
christian faith and her tender love
and kindness. To those who kr ew
her in the different relations of life
she was a smost devoted wife,
mother, sister, and friend, and in
her relations as a child her mother
often spoke of her as her right
hand. The writer of this tribute
to her memory was tenderly nursed
in her arms, gently guided in the
way of Truth, and it is to "Sis
Bettie" that many early impressions
of God and Heayen are due, She
leaves three children and nine
grand-children and the friends of
! a long life to feel the absence of
her love. To these her Granville
friends and loved ones send their
sympathy. "Sis Bettie!s" last
visit to North Carolina was made
two years ago, when Mr. Terry
Callis went to Wellborn and brought
her back with him to see his moth
er. But she was too feeble to go
out, even then. Three sisters and
two brothers remain of one of Ox
ford's once largest families and
silver threads and unspoken glimp
ses of the world beyond remind
them that, for them too, the day is
near when the telegram from above
shall bid them "come at once."
Not gone from us
But closer nearer
Not lost to us
But lovelier dearer.

THE PRAISE CONTINUES.
Everywhere We Hear Good
Reports of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Oxfod is no exception. Every
section of the U. S. resounds with
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thirty thousand persons are giving
testimony in their home newspa
pers. The sincerity of this wit
ness, the fact that they live so near,
is the best proof of the merit of
Doan's. Here's an Oxford case:
G. S. Daniel, grocer, Clement
Avenue, Oxford, N. C.,says: "One
of my family suffered from back
ache, pains in the kidneys and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. Do
an's Kidney Pills were procured at
Hamilton's Drug Store and they
brought the most satisfactory re
sults. I consider Doan's Kidney
Pills a medicine of merit and am
pleased to give them my endorse
ment." Mr. Daniel is only one of many
Oxford people who have greatfully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mr. Daniel had the remedy backed
home testimony. 50c. all stores.
