Mr. Whitaker was the oldest son ol the late Ferdinand H. Whitaker, and besides a large number of other near relatives, he leaves a wife, four sons and one daughter. BRIEF SKETCH. Mr. Whitaker wai born and reared near the place of his death, having 6pent most of his life in sight of tbe church at WhltaKers unapei, wnicn ne loved so much and to whose interest he devoted so much of his time. He was educated at the academy near bis home, at Horner's School at Oxford, comDletine his education in the M. r Hollaee at Westminster. Marvland. About the age of fourteen he joined the Methodist Protestant church at Whitakers Chapel, of which he re mained a consistent and consecrated member until his death. Returning from college he turned his attention to agriculture, to which work he devoted nis Hie. On April 17, 1S87, he was happily married to Miss Lillian Whitaker, and truly they were "no more twain but one", for their lives were beautiful in all the be coming affections of husband and wife, and this devotion was as marked in the last year of life together as in the first ; and it was the loving, tender, so licitous wile who watched by the fad insr life ail through the four weeks in which the fever did Its daadlv work. and aeainst whose consuming nower the vital spark could hold out no longer. Mr. Whi taker's death was a great surnrisa and a crftnter shrwk to hun dreds and hundreds of people through- "WW Iff . out tianiax county wno Knew and loved him for the good hn had dona. From his earliest years he was a most consecrated unristian, and stood for righteousness under all rlrcnm- fttaneeR. Whi 1ft nnifn n vnuntr man hn became fond of Sunday-school work to which he was tnorougbly devoted as lone A3 he lived. For vaorn hn won president ot the Halifax County Sunday-School Association, to which he gave much of his time and thought at considerable sacrifice : but he was am ply rewarded even here by the general it j t i . . i auecuun auu esteem oi me gooa pec Tile of thfl COlintv nf nil dnnnminnt.innn He was also a strong advocate of tem perance reform, and for several years was president ot Halifax County Tem perance Association, whinh flnnrlnhnd and did great good under bis guidance, but went down soon after he ceased to ba its president. When the interests of the Southern farmers began to materialize in the boutnern Cotton Association more than two years ago, Mr. Whitaker took a keen Interest in the matter and of. tended a convention In New Orleans He was the first man to make effort to have the farmers of Halifax county organize, and as soon aa thev were or ganized he was elected president of the Halifax countv branch of the Southern Cotton Association, and held that hon ored and trusted position until his death. Ha attended several farmers' nnnven tiona in Raleigh and Asheyille, and always returnea nuoa wun an enthusi asm which rallied his brother farmers to greater activity in their organiza tion. He labored incessantly and per niatentiv to have Halifax countv farm ers thoroughly organize, having visited every township in the county within less than a year before he died for that purpose, and some of the townships he visited two or three times. As a Christian his life and example will live on through generations yet to oome ; as a citizen ana patriot nis n fluence will live loner in his native county to whose every interest he was committed with an unaeihsn devotion ; X MEMORY OF ROBT. G. MAN NING. rn Rundav afternoon. August 19, lanfi t. 3 :30 o'clock, death entered the quiet and peaceful home ot Mr. Mack Manninz and roDDea aim in uu ui son, Robert Gilbert.

Ha vnaa taken sick SOme fOUr W66kS ago with typhoid fever and was brought to hia father's about one mne irum town where all was done for him that kind mother and a loving sister could do. . He waa born on January lztn, into, and waa therefore thirty-one years, seven months and seven days old ; but God in His wise providence knew Dest, so He called him home, where we hope tn meet, hv and bv. He leaves a latner ana moiner, iwu loving sisters, Mrs. Susie Thomas and Miss Eva Manning, and a host of rela tives and friends to mourn their loss. Lord, thou has conquered death we know, Bestow to life again, I said, This one who died a while ago, He smiled, "He is not dead !" Dftar Lord, how shall we know that they Still walk unseen with us and Thee, Nor sleep nor wander far away? ' He emiled, "Abide in Me !"
