Mrs. Mary Winifred Riddick, Mrs. Mary Winifred Riddick wife of Julian S. Riddick of Spring Hill, passed out of this life of pain and suffering into .the life of joy and peace, Wednesday night. June 5th, llJ07, about 11 p. m. at Sarah Leigh hospital Norfolk, Va. Mrs. hiddick had been a sufferer for several years from some subtle disease which had been all the while gradually sapping her strength and vitality; so that no one knew, until recently, that her case was one of such extreme difficulty and danger and, when .scarcely anything could be done to ameliorate her awful suf fering, then as a last resort, she was taken to the hospital, where, after everything was done for her that the best skill of wise and able physi cians could do, she passed into the life where there is no death. Mrs. Riddick was a good woman good from her childhood, always loved truth and God, and hated falsehood with all her soul. The way of righteousness was joy to her. When 14 years of age she was con firmed in the Episcopal 'church, in Trinity church, Scotland Neck, April Jrd, 1892 by Bishop Theodore B. Lyman. One year afterward, on Easter day, April 3rd, 1S93, she came for the first time to the Holy Com munion, t rom that day until death, she lead a sincere Christian walk with God. Her three children will no more know the sweet influences of her mother love. Their errand-mother. Mrs. Mary E. Darden, will tenderly care for them. But no one else on earth can ever completely fill the wonderiui and the unique position of the affectionate mother. On Friday, June 7th, 1907, at 1 a. m. the funeral services were held in Old Trinity church. Many kind friends and neighbors were present to manifest their love and respect for our departed sister. They brougt many beautiful flowers, and wreathes of roses, and fragrant lilies to lay on the grave, as a sweet tribute of affection, and loving remembrance of her, who is "Asleep in Jesus." We cannot understand the myster ies of God. But we must know that God doeth all things well. He alone ?eeth through all the subtle intrica sies of things in heaven and earth, and knoweth the wisest means of working out the greatest good for the souls of men, whom He wills to rejoice with Him in eternal glory. And suffering, and sorrow, and loss, and pain, and death "are the agencies that God uses to bring men to Him self, so that, as it is written, we must "through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of heaven." And labors, and afflictions, patiently borne, "are not in vain in the Lord." But they are the forerunners of that "glory which shall be revealed in us." And of that welcome into rest, "well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord." G. W. P. An Important Suit.

AllsDrook Mr. James Henry Allsbrook, Sr., died at his home three miles from Scotland Neck Wednfday night June 5, at 9:30 o'clock, aged seventy nine years. His remains were inter red in the Episcopal cemetery Thurs day afternoon, June 6, Elder W. B. Strickland conducting the burial service. The members of the imme diate family are a wife, three" sons and one daughter, Mess4 T Mi Alls brook, of Kenly, N: U N S: Alls brook, of Louisburg, N. C;j Willie' Allsbrook and Mrs. L. Wilkinson, of Scotland Neck. Mr. Allsbrook was one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of this community. He had for many years been a consistent member of Kehukee Baptist church, and was devoted to it in prbrript at tendance as long as. he was able to go. He had devoted most of his life to agriculture and was quite in dustrious in the work of his choice. He was a good neighbor, an upright citizen, a fond father and devoted husband. His death Is a great loss to the community, the county and State. The loss of one of an upright life means much to any community; but it is a pleasing contemplation that Mr. Allsbrook came to a ripe old age with the heritage of a good name to his posterity. In the service of the Southern Confederacy, he cut the timbers for the Confederate ram Albemarle, which was built on the Roanoke river about six, miles from Scotland Neck. He was a man of remarkable physi cal strength and endurance, and maintained it until a few years ago when his health failed. The large concourse of people which followed the remains to the cemetery attested the high esteem in which he was held in the commu nity, and the many friends of the family keenly sympathize with them in their great affliction.

'Ennett, of Middle Sound, and Mr-. George W.

E. Church, Rev. Kenneth D. Holmes, pastor of the congregation, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner received the happy congratulations of many friends. They will make their home in this city, the groom having a responsible position with Messrs. Levi McMillian, the shoe merchants on North Fourth street." Children's Exercises. There were interesting exercises in the Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. The children who par ticipated were from the infant class, and their songs and recitations did great credit to the training which had been given them : by Miss Annie Biggs. Some two yeai s ago this Sunday school took up the cradle roll work, which has been under the manage ment of Miss Annie Biggs; and part of the exercises Sunday was the pro motion of twenty-five little children from the cradle roll to a place in the infant class. Each one was given a certificate of promotion. Destructive Hail Storm Visits Hobgood. A destructive hail storm visited the Hobgood community last Satur day afternoon, extending over a ter ritory four miles in length and one mile wide. It was one of the sever est that ever visited that communi ty, and the cotton crop was almost entirely destroyed. Corn and pea nuts were badly torn up but the damage was not so great as to the cotton. It is said that, some of the of the farmers will plant peanuts in the place of the destroyed cotton while others are ordering more cot ton seed and will plant a second time. Will Preach at Roseneath.

Death of Thurman A. Pierce. (Cor.ti The Commonwealth.) Hobgood; N. G. Jttne 16th, 1807, At eight o'clock Saturday morning June 8th, 1907, near Speed, N. C, death entered the peaceful home of Mr. and Mrs. William Pierce and robbed them of their only son, Thur man, who closed his eyes to the scenes of time to bpgii thghi upofl the beauties of enternity. Little Thurman was blind and never knew what it was to see. No one can tell the affliction and pain he suffered. His age was six years five months and twenty-four days. We know he has gone to rest ahd we cannot murmur. Thurman was a sweet child, but God's wisdom cannot make a mistake and we know it was right. We be lieve, we love, we submit. Death is sad and separation tears our heart, but hope in Christ is the sweet consolation and the Comfort ing thought that drives the gloom from the grave. Many were the friends who went to weep with the bereaved .ones. And for them and myself I speak the consoling word and commend them to Him whd doeth all things well. His body was taken to Hobgood Sunday p. m. and laid to rest. He leaves to mourn a father and mother and two dear little sisters, Misses Sarah and Nannie. We deep ly sympathize with them in their sad bereavement. Mr. Pierce wishes to express his sincere thanks and gratitude for the kindness and sympathy of the people of our neighborhood during the sick ness of his child. Hattie Jones.
