On Saturday, August 14, Mrs. Wil lis Halt's died at her home In Zebulon in the 61st year of her age. She had been critically 111 for two weeks of typhoid fever, and the feeble frame, already weakened by 111 health, could not withstand the inroads of disease. All was done that willing hands, prompted by loving hearts could do, together with the best medical at tention and trained nursing, but to no avail. Her mission on earth was completed, and the spirit returned to the God who gave it. Her devoted husband went to the better land six years ago, and many times she had expressed the desire to be with him. She knew in whom she had believed, and the summons found her with fait firmly fixed. She died as she had lived, calmly resting on the promises of the Heavenly Father. The songs, "Shall We Gather at the River" and "I'm Going Home to Glory," that were on her lips almost in her dying hour evidenced this fact. To the devoted sons and daughters who mourn their loss she has left the heritage of a selfsacrificing life, a devotion to principle, and an un swerving faithfulness to duty as it came to her. Such women are a blessing to the world, leaving be hind them an influence that will last throughout eternity. "Servant of God, well done. Rest from thy loved employ. The battle fought, the victory won, Enter the Master's Joy." A FRIEND. Wendell, N. C. A Hurry Up Call. Quick! Mr. Druggist?Quick!? A box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve?

LOST In Smithfleld Friday, Aug. 27, a ten dollar bill. Finder will be liberally rewarded for returning same to me. E. A. LEE, Beasley, N. C. LEADER AMONG NEWSPAPERS. The Philadelphia Record a Journal { That is Not Selfish as to the News. \ Ou<- of the many traits that com mend the Philadelphia Record to people who do not live In the great cities Is that it Is a newspaper that Is not selfish about Its news, and la not city-centered in its ambitions. There has long been a well-grounded complaint that most of the great metropolitan dailies are provincial, and take It for granted that city news Is all that It Is necessary for them to print. The Record apparently takes a dif ferent view. While giving a faithful chronicle of all that occurs In Its own city, It does not neglect nor skimp the news of any part of the wide field that It covers. Any Issue of this big newspaper is full of proof th.V It prints full and reliable re ports of everything of Interest that occurs in Its whole territory. The Record Is refreshingly differ ent from other big dailies in many ways. It is steady and reliable, and not prone to get wildly excited over some spectacular muck-raking cru sade of its own making. Instead of packing its columns with frenziedl dis cussions, it simply prints the news, and, according to wellverlfied claims, more items of news than f>i>y other newspaper in the country. To Speak on Good Roads. Arrangements are being made for a speech on good roads at the court house In Smlthflcld during court week.
