Miss Mary Ann Dickinson. Because the announcement of the de cease of this lady al the age of eighty- one years is to so many a message freighted witli great sorrow it is thought well that the sense of bereavement should have public expression. Now that lite grave has closed over her form for ever, aud the mortal part must hence forth be a memory only. Recollection brings up many incidents of her life which associates her memory with Him who was called good because He stopped on His journey and His business to suc cor the woundel and distressed whom many passed by on the other side. There was a time in the history of New Bern when that dread scourge tcar Ici fever in its most malignant form was raging through the county carrying death aud fear in its path. Iu some households the whole family was sick at ihe same time and there were instances of two or three deaths in the house in one day. So fatal was the scourge that many of the afflicted were unattended except by the physician, and members of the same family; and vv hen they were all sick t here was suffering for want of nursing; but if others avoided in fear the houses when the pestilence stalked at noon day, not so did Miss Mary Ann. Inone hour, the husband and wife, three small children and a servant were all dangerously sick with the disease. A nurse could not be had for love or money. Apparently everybody was frightened, but through It all, and in the midst of the pestilence. Miss Mary fear 'esslv and without reward met the doc tor at the bedsides of this family, took his directions, carried them out and supplemented his skill with her own re markable inborn faculty for relieving disease. In this case her ministrations were given, not only at great peril to her person, but also at the risk of sacrifice to her pecuniary interests. Kor the last reason her visits were usually made se cretly by climbing over fences ami pas sing over back lots. She kept a change of clothing in an out houseof the place visited so that she would not bring the well in contact w ith the garments that had been in the Infected atmosphere. All this she did for those who were then neither friends nor kindred, with no mo tive save duty, and no thought of rew ard besides the approving smile of her Mas ter who said "go thou and do likewise." she was then young, but even to the late year of old age her life has been devoted lo others. She was never married, but there will be sincere aorrow in the hearts of many grateful parents and their children when they are told that Miss Mary Ann is dead. A Hinrfiuahy. The Lost Ariosto. Capt.

Friday evening a field of dry grass and vegetation was being burned on a farm belonging to James A. Bryan near Have lock. Clifford Hogerson, son of Capt. Wo. Hogerson of this city, stationed himself near a house to prevent the fire reaching it. After the tire had swept through, the other men came to where Hogerson had been stationed, and found that he had moved several hundred yards from his first position and that the flames had caught and burned him to death. The burial took place Saturday at llavelock. The deceased was 28 years old. Madam Amae.

It it a sacred seasoa of venerable an tiquity, aad whether It was observed by the Apostle as a fixed period of fasliag or waa aot established until tha organi sation of the church, all authorities agree la saying that for a time at least before the anniversary of the Reenrrec- tloa of Christ a fast was obaerred by the primitive Christian; and it is the gener al concensus oT modern opinion that this fast of forty day was practically the ancient type of the modern laws. It 81. Luke v., 35, Christ said: "But the days will come when the bride groom shall be taken away from them., and then shall they fast in those days.'' This was taken by the early Christians to mean that there should be a period of self-denial and fasting before the events leading up to flis Passion and Crucifix ion were commemorated. ' Even If Lent was not a long season of fasting among the primitive Christiana, it soon became so, and there are ecclesi astical records lo show thst prior to the Fourth century the Lenten season was generally fixed at forty days, and this period preci eded the festival of the Resurrection or Faster. The custom has lasted then for at least 1,500 years, prac tically as it is todayv The Roman eccle siastical name for Lent is Jejunlum Quadragesimale, "the fast of forty days." The hngliah word Lent is from the Anglo-Saxon word Lencten, meaning Spring, with reference to the season In which it occurs. j The manner of observing Lent during the first seven centuries of the Christian eta varied, yet it is also true that very strict laws for its observance were en acted, and Charlemagne, when he con quered Saxony, went to the length of or dering lliat a Saxon should be liable to death if he wantonly disregarded the prescribed observances of the holy sea son. It lias always been the general opin ion that the early and finally the pre vailing idea of fixing the Lenten period at forty days grew out of the forty day periods in the Bible. Jonah, in his denunciation, gave Ninevah forty days of grace. Moses and Kl i jah w ere forty days iu the wilderness. Christ fasted and underwent temptation for forty days. So it was natural that a it real commemorative and penitential observance like Lent should by general and gradual consent and custom fix itself upon a period of forty days. Successive edicts of the Church mold ed Lent Into Its present form over 1,000 years ago, and since then it has remain ed practically unaltered. Many Protestants voluntarily observe Lent with prayer and penitence and feasting. In the Roman Catholic Church, the Creek Church the Anglican Church and the Episcopal church, in this country, which is one in doctrine with the Angli can, or English Church, the observance of Lent is obligatory. The custom of celebrating Easter Sun day with elaborate services of song has been greatly amplified in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches within the past few years, and nearly all the Potestant denominations, particularly in the cities, have begun to take notice of the day. Ash Wednesday, falling on February 28th this year, makes Palm Sunday April 8. Qoed Friday, April IS and Easier Sunday April loth. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. For Harmony. Chip. March 3rd. Ed.

Time For All ThlnfS. Bellair, March 6th. Here we are roabed Into the presence of long hungry March, perhaps tho best of all the months for creating an appetite and the poorest for sstisfying It. Vege tables are generally scarce, spring chlekens are too small, and the country ' housekeeper often looks with anxious care for something to make up the neces sary variety for the table, and if it were not for the busy hen and the faithful old cow, March would be a hard month to the country housekeeper. . We have had some peculiar weather lately, farmers have been looking anx- ioualy for the work spell that usually comes between the freeze and the rain but these have come so near together this winter that for three rains past, the ground did not thaw before the rain began to fall, and ene freeze, a hard ne too, came in three or four hours after a hard rain, so the farmers claim generally lo be behind with their work. Potato planting is usually about finished by the first of March, but here is the fifth snd witn some potato plant ing is just well under way, owing it seems to rain and freeze being so near together. There seem! to be the usual crop in eur midst lo be planted this season. The turnips have been killed so badly that sowing over wss necessary. Today reminds us of real spring, cool enough, warm enough, and pretty enough for any kind of outdoor work. Farmers are pushing work as they have not this season before. Yesterday was such an ideal day that we fear some few who ought to have been at the monthly meeting of the U Q Missionary Society were looking over fields or planning for today's work. Seed lime and harvest are promised us by our kind Father but the Holy Sabbath is not for temporal seeding or plan ning. Measles are prevailing in many places around us and if a child or young person who has not bad measles gets poorly they think a case of measles is at hand L. A FATAL DISEASE Physicians Unable To Diagnose It. Three Fersons Dead. A seeming fatal disease which has a similarity to dlptberia, but which the physicians in that part of the country have not yet been able to name, has made its appearance in the, vicinity of Davis Shot and Smyrna. Some two weeks or more ago tt will be remembered that Mr. William Willis, a well-known citizen of that section, died with this disease; and several other deaths have b en caused by it since November. Last Monday Mr. Banister Willi, a man about alxty years of age, and one who waa highly respected by all wba knew him, died of the same trouble after a very brief illness. Monday night Miss Effle Willis, of Smyrna, was suddenly taken with the unknown dliease and be for medical assistance could be obtained she, too, waa dead. Dr. Mclntyre, of Morehead City, waa summoned and started early Tuaeday morning, but wst met by tome on who informed him of ber -death, which occurred about 7 o'clock, a. m. Mis Willis was a daughter of Mr. David Willis, of Smyrna, and waa an accomplUhed young lady of about IS years of age. ' 8h was organist of Smyr na Baptist Church, and was much-loved by all who knew her. Beaufort Herald.
