But above all and em bracing all, I am profoundly grate ful to the kind Benefactor of us all for health and strength, and I trust a good degree of his spirit, which has actuated me to be on hand at every appointment in the discharge of my official duties for the past six years. Most respectfully submitted. Alexander Baker. Death of a Christian Young Man. Our community and the neighbor hood in which he lived (Carlton) are greatly grieved over the death of Mr, Ashton A. Hicks, one of Granville's most excellent young men, at St Luke's Hospital, Richmond, Va., on Inst Wednesday night. His death was a shock to his family and friends. This greatly esteemed young- man had a severe attaak of appendi citis and taken there to be operated upon, but the disease had such a firm hold he only survived about 50 hours after the operation. The remains reached Oxford Thurs day afternoon and carried out to his home at Carlton, and at 6 o'clock were consigned to the tomb in the family graveyard amid the tears of grief-strickened loved ones, friends and neighbors. The deceased "was the brother of Senator A. A. Hicks, of Oxford; Mr. T. T. Hicks and Mrs. S. R. Harris, of Henderson; Mr. Hewitt Hicks, Mrs. J. T. Cozart and Miss Maggie Hicks, and to all of whom the sympathy of the editor go out in much tenderness in the unexpected death of a devoted brother. Mr. Hicks was a most exemplary young man, and greatly endeared by association to many of our people as he was reared nearOxford.He was 30 years of age, and a true member of the Methodist Protestant Church and lived the life of a christian. He was a quiet, manly young man,and wore his faults on his sleeve. Warm-hear ted and generous, his finer and bet ter qualities were known only to those who had the pleasure of an im mediate acquaintance. One of his neighbors, who knew him from boyhood, remarked in the editor's presence that "Ashton Hicks was one of the best young men he ever knew, honorable and upright, and of unblemished character." "Rock of ages cleft for me, Sung above a coffin lid, Underneath all restf ully, All life's joys and sorrows hid. Nevermore, O, storm-tossed soul!. Nevermore from wind or tide, Nevermore from billows roll Wilt thou need thyself to hide. Could the sightless sunken eyes Closed beneath the brown hair. Could the mute and stiffened lips Move again In pleading prayer, Still, aye still, the words would be Let me hide myself in Thee." It is easier to keep well than get cured De Witt's Little Early Risers taken now and then, wi 1 always keep your bowels in perfect order. They never gripe but promote an easy gentle action. J.

Mr. Pat Smith, of Oxford, has been almost a regular attendant of the Methodist Sunday School for 70 years. i The Kind You Have Always KAtlTfl til A MEMORIAL SERVICES SUNDAY At Methodist Church in Memory of Oneof God's Anointed, Mr. John W. Hays. A special service was held at the Methodist Chureh last Sunday morn ing at 11 o'clock in memory of the late greatly beloved John W. Hays, which was attended by a very large congregation, many members of the Baptist and Presbyterian churches, including their pastors, at tending. The service was very interesting, the remarks that were made being especially appropriate and the sing ing of choir with Miss Eva Minor at the organ, and the solos by Mrs Sid Hunt and Mrs. John Booth being ex ceedingly touching. The program began with an an them by the choir, "Nearer my God to Thee," followed by a Draver by Rev. J. S. Hardaway, pastor of the Baptist Church. After the choir rendered "The Home of the Soul" Mr. R. L. Brown, Superintendent of the Sunday School, spoke of Mr. Hays as a Sunday School Worker. The speaker went on to relate how he first met Mr Hays in church, and upon his being introduced to him as x great Sunday School and Church worker, Mr. Hays replied, "No, I am not a great worker, I can hope to do but little except as a connecting link to hold things together," and that now we begin to appreciate what a valuable connecting link his life has been. He spoke of Mr. Hays' untir ing zeal as a Sunday School Super intendent and worker, always being present even when others more hardy might have reasonably excused them selves. He said that Mr. Hays was so ex cellent a teacher In the Sunday school that he had been the theologian of the North Carolina Conference, and more than one distinguished divine had been of his class and sat un der his teaching. That while Mr. Hays was for so long Superinten dent and teacher of the Sunday school ne was always progressive, and a man of broad religious views, not narrowly sectarian; that he accepted in its broadest sense the doctrine of the great apostle as to charity and made it the essence of his work; that It was a privilege to have been asso ciated with him, and the benediction of that life would be appreciated by every member of the Sunday School. The speaker stated that it was the custom of Mr. Hays at Sunday school to write on the blackboard the gol den text and pointing to a section of blackboard, framed, hanging on the wall in the rear of the pulpit on which were written the words, "Lovest thou me." This, said he, was the last text he ever wrote on the black board in this life. Those chalk marks may be erased, but the influence o the character of John W. Hays wTil go on to eternity. Concluding the speaker exhorted his hearers to imitate the example of him whom we mourn and follow in his footsteps in the service of the Master. After the rendering In a, sweet voice "Raise me Jesus," a favorite of Mr, Hays, by Mrs. J. S. Hunt, Dr. Ed.T White spoke"of Mr. Hays as a church steward. He said that during the 1 years he had leen associated with him on the board of stewards he had been their tower of strength; that his office had been the place of al meetings of church committees and himself the chairman, secretary and central figure; that his humble service and devotion to his church would stand as a monument to his memory; that he was so gentle, calm and self- denying that they sometimes impos ed upon him, and in his humble.quiet way he had directly helped and bene fitted the church in a thousand ways that neither pastor nor the church were cognizant of. The speaker said these lines of Tenyson's were pecu Harly appropriate: "I would the great grew like thee who Grewest not alone In power and knowledge, But by years and hours In reverence and charity." That no service was too arduous or painstaking for him, though fra gile and delicately constituted. That he drew us not by power of mind or strength of arm nor did he hold us to him by hooks of steel, but by the gentle influence of a godly walk and by the tender cords of love. That he was systematic in his wrork that by an approximate calculation he made 10,000 trips to church, walk ing 8,000 or 10,000 miles, sufficient to have taken him to the place where they tell us the garden of Eden was situated in far off Asia. That he was the same under all circumstances, whether arguing a case before the Supreme Court or conducting a week ly prayer meeting. In temperament smooth and even, with tne finest equilibrium the speaker had ever seen displayed; a man of dignity, the essence of prudence and the quintes sence of goodness. That from as sociation with him the speaker could say he exhibited the truest and high est type of our Christian civilization. Mrs. John Booth beautifully sang "Not half has been told," the choir Ininlne- In the chorus, after which Mr. . . . . Sldnev VV. Minor SDOke Ol Mr. liayS as the Christian Lawyer and Chris - tian Citizen. He paid a very high tribute to his character, saying he was the most remarkable man Ox ford ever produced; that as a chris tian lawyer he was -known through out the State by bench and bar as being without a peer; that he never stooped . to take advantage of any man, but always fought in the open and with unfailing courtesy and pa tience; that throughout his whole career there never entered the mind of any one the suspicion that Mr.Hays departed one iota from the path of duty as shown by a trained and un erring conscience. Mr. Minor feelingly related how Mr. Hays had influenced his own life for good, and what a debt of gratitude he owed him. - That as a christian citizen the pu rity of his life and the nobility of his character were too well known to need further encomiums from him; that the Influence of his life and teach ings upon those with whom he came n contact would outlive time, and that he had left behind him a nrloe. ess heritage of a stainless life. Mrs. John Booth then sweetly and touchlngly sung "Thy will be done." The last speaker was the pastor, Rev A. McCullen, who paid an elo quent and feeling tribute to the char acter of the fallen leader in Israel. He began by saying he would al ways be glad he came to Oxford be fore Brother Hays died; that he had never met any one who so profound ly impressed him with the possibili ties of human life, and that the influ ence of his personality would go with him through life. Speaking of his character Mr. Mc Cullen said he had a clear conception of truth; that while prejudice, pas sion and policy will warp most of us his soul sought after, the truth. That as he had talked with him he could almost feel the frail bodv pass away and the great soul within shine forth. He was a thinker, thought for him self , and statements made to him must be analyzed. He was a digni fied man, yet very approachable, ge nial, lovable. He was my ideal of a hightoned, courteous, intelligent, christian gentleman. He was one man In whom if there was a fault I never discovered it. He left his family the wealth of a good name and a pure character that no thief can steal or time can corrode. He was a gifted man. He had a crea tive brain. God did much for him, and he did much for himself. Lack ing the brass to push himself to what the world calls success, he looked up and took his ideal of life from the God of the Universe and he won. He was a man of prayer. His faith went beyond cause and effect. He loved the church of God and gave himself to it. I loved him in life and was glad when they placed his body in the cemetery next to that of my baby boy. May the mantle of this saintly man fall upon his bright boys and send them forth into the world to perpetuate such characters among men. After another hymn the services closed with benediction by Rev. John E. Wool of the Presbyterian church. This Will Interest Many. To quickly introduce B. B. B.
