Mrs. Joseph L. Barnes.
En'ered into life eternal at her home
near Dawsons, N. C, Monday evening,
December 2, 1901, Nannie Applewhite,
beloved wife of Joseph L. Barnes, and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Apple
white, in the 32i year of her age.
Her sufferings, which had been very
great fcr more than ttvo weeks, were
borne with patience and fortitude; not
a murmur escaped her lips, and she
was thoughtful and considerate nf
others to the last. Everything was
done that medical skill could suggest,
and she was faithfully and tenderly
nurssd by loving hands, but nothing
could arrest the disease. She gradual
ly grew worse until the summons came
calling her away. No fear of death
disturbed her, but with unwavering
trust in her Saviour the sweetly passed
into the presence of the God she loved,
there to bask forever m the light of
his countenance. Loving hearts went
with her even to the banks of the
river and in thought could follow her
as with the angels sent to bear her
sweet spirit home, she swept through
the gates of glory, and imagire her
rapture when "within the walls" her
freed spirit took in the glories of Para
dise. Never from childhood did she
wilfully cause her parents pain or
grief. She was a dutiful and devoted
daughter, a tender, loving wife and
sister, a faithful, conscientious mother,
a kind friend and a consistent Chris
tian. Every one who knew her loved
her. How she will be missed 1 Her
husband and little children will mies
her lovina:, tender care ; her parents,
her sweet home coming, and friends
her unaffected sympathy.
Early in life she gave her heart to
God, and ever since, has led a conse
crated life. Her virtues and graces of
character will ever be treasured as a
sacred heritage from him who gave us
in her lila a sweet and" beautiful ex
ample of how a Christian should die.
God grant we may so live that we may
meet her ":n that blessed home to wlmb'
she has gone to be forever with her
Lord.

The editor of The Commonwealth
spent a few days last week in Wake
and Harnett. The same old bills and
dales and dashing, dancing streams are
there as years ago, but changes in oth
er things are marked.
The passing of a decade or two
writes new lines even on the face of
nature. Familiar names are heard for'
which there are no answering1
yoices ; the Etately forest hera and
there has fallen before the woodman's
axe ; the fields are not just as they were
in the long ago. Heme which were
then only "poor land" are now fertile
indeed, and some which were then
fairly fertile are now the "pine thicket''"
or the sedge field. .
Faces which were bright and laugh
ingly gay have become furrowed with
care ; locks that were "raven" then
now show the frost of years ; - and the
then auburn hair now has the ''silver
threads among the gold" ; the then prat
tling child is to-day the sturdy young
man or the lithe and graceful young
lady.
Some changes are pleasing while
others are sad. The school bell tolls
from more steeples now than then, and
the children trooping their way to
school know more of the modern idea
of country school life ; but we doubt it
their rudiments of education are bet
ter founded than in the days when
everyone, large and small, took at
least one turn a day at the long lines
in the old "blue back".
poor crops all along.
It is usual to hear from every
part of the State that crops are poor,
but the people of Scotland Neck - and
Halifax county have no conception cf
the destitution in some parts of other
counties. In some parts of Wake and
Harnett renters who pay stipulated
rents did not make the rent, to say
nothing of paying for supplies. While
we would net be an alarmist, we say
plainly that we are more convinced
than ever that people generally need
to practice economy more rigidly than
in many years.
