Miss Cora Shields, daughter of the late W. II. Shiefds, died at her home in Scotland Neck, Tuesday, June 4th, 189o, at 0 o'clock, p. m. Her death lias cast a gloom over the community. Her many friends here and elsewhere will greatly regret to learn of her death. Thf Demockat joins in sympathy for tlr- -tricken family. An obituary will appear in our next issue. Death of Mr. L, B. Manning. We were sorry to learn of the death of Mr. L. B. Manning in Henderson a few days ago. Mr. Manning was form erly a resident'of this county and was well known to many of the people of this community. He was the father oi Mr. Thad. E. Manning, editor of the Henderson Gold Lea f, and also of Mrs. C. W. Dunn, ot Scotland Neck. The Democrat extends sympathy to the stricken children m the loss of their father. Died at hc-r home near Deep Creek church May I7th, ltC, Mrs. Dolly Pope, relict of the late Marcellus Pope, aged 7" years. The eun had just ri.-en and Hooded the earth with sunshine, ushering in a beautiful Sunday morning, when our dear friend was called away to enjoy the glories of an eternal Sabbath. On Monday afternoon she was laid to rest beside her husband, who had preceded her but a few years, to sleep until the resurrection. For some time she Lad been in de clining health but for more than a year she had been making lengthy vis its to her children and relatives. A few weeks ago tshe became anxious to return home where she frequently said she wished to die. She was as well as usu al until Friday previous to her death. She sewed eteadilj- all day, retired at her usual time, but was taken yery sick about 9 o'clock and gradually grew worse until she quietly and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. Although she had the greatest respect for Christianity and felt an interest in her soul's salvation it was not until late in life that she con fessed Christ, was baptised and connect ed herself with the church at Deep Creek where she loved to worship. Her seat was never vacant unless kept awav by sickness or uncontrolable circum stances. As she was a person of great energy in temporal affairs, so when she put on Christ, was zealous in His cause. Kind, hospitable and sympathetic, no one ever appealed to her for help in vain. The weather was never too in clement, or she too wearied to minister to the sick and sorrowing. Her child ren will miss the faithful counsel and loving words of a devoted mother. Her neighbors will miss a kind friend and her church a consistent member. Dear old friend, farewell ! a few more years perhaps ; and we will meet in the sweet bye and bye, where there will be no more parting, and where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and fear ed no more. Her children mourn their great loss, but they should remember it is her eternal gain. We sympathize with them in their affliction, but God alone can comfort them. She was glad to depart and be with Christ, and could say exultingly with St. Paul, "I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me a crpwn of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day." A. Hobgood Chips. "John Doe" and "Richard Roe." The two white men tried in the Su- "ior cout in Halifax last week under t names "John Doe" and "Richard Roe," had no counsel.
