Sept. 20th, announces the death of his wife, Sarah Morris Schuster, at VZi'iQ a. m., on that day. Mrs. Schuster, ueo Sarah Morris, grew to womanhood in this town, where eighteen years ago she lived with an uncle, Mr. K. II. Butler, then the leading druggist of the town. With the young people she was ever the life und center of at traction. In Sunday School and all church work she was always a will ing worker, being a member of Grace Episcopal church. A friend, kind, atl'ectionate and true, she made her self a favorite with old and young. Those who are left to rem umber her will Breathe a sigh of pain as they read tins notice of her death m tar olf Texas. There in. a strange land, yet sur rounded by her devoted husband aud children, and we dare say, many new made friends, her beautiful Christian life ended and hor spirit was wafted home to its God, and her leuiains were laid to rest in the Episcopal cetnetary according to the rite of that church she loved. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the bereaved family in their dis tant home. F. Reform Congress.

Q. lioper has been ill for several days, It is hoped she will soon be well again. Mr. II. II. Davis continutsquite sickf which is much regretted by his many friend. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Norman were here on Sunday. So we were Mr. and Mrs. k K. Johnstou. Mrs. Geo. Waters and Mr. Watero' mother went to Mackey's Terry Tuesday, to visit relatives. Miss Knth Whitehurst, of Princess Ann Va., is the gut st of Mr. and Mis. Warren Cahoou at liuueombe Hall. Mrs. Ellen Pt acock aud daughter, Mrs. Spivey havo returned from a pleasant viuit to relatives at Blauchards aud Windsor. Mr. B S.

Shj visiu-d the tauiiiy of Mr and Mis Jofhuay Mitchel and made many friends in this town. Mr. W. M. Batemau certainly his a fine crop of cottou, corn, peanut, potatoes, itas and uraye vines, on Elm tlurst Farm, ! but we did not know that he. intended to enter the contest for the lirgest snake, lis startled the natives here last Saturday inoiuio" by bringing to towu a ' ratler" five feet two incbea long. aud beariug four teen rattles, lie was discovered by a col ored woman while picking peas Luckily it was the end of the week, or Mr. Bate man would uot have gotteu those peas as he did. Uh no ! the notches (rattles) ou his tail don't count. I am not banking on the knowing ciiZeu anj more. No more notched tails as age registers for me. Kt t!e buakea iu captivity have grown fiom o ie to three rattles in oue year, though the 6uake with a la-ge number is certainly qu.te old. A cirioin thing about (h ) rat tle siKike is that its colcnug is io irregular ii nd uncertain that it id impossible I" ted to wb d branch of the ritth r fami y one belongs except by certain shields upon the head. This specimen had the b- autilul markings ol the SoPlhtm I ianioml rattler about the front of the b. dy, wl-ilo fully one-third, inc uding his tail, was quite Hack. I heie is no d ul-t about on- tning however, and that is lh.it the Devil hhowt-d great cunning iu assuming the form of a serpent when he entered the garden of Edi-n. Pdy poor, inocent Eve, in the pn stnee of such a merciless monster. I imagine the modern trust assumes the same shape about election time, when it argues tor the good ol its employee. One look at its hiihous fangs is quite enough lo con vince the unfortunate laborer, with a de pendent family, tlat he had bettar do the ' Boss'" bidding quickly. And there are little serpentf, with little fangs, and ho often these merciless devils siriku their victims without warning. They hi.-s a little, sometimes, when they see their he lp less victim writhing in his death agonies, but their warnings are the warnings their noble prototype used to helpKss Eve, when ho denounced Cod's laws as false. The hideous Python of greed, tightening its coils about the institutions of a freo country. What a spectacle ! Nothing win siay him but the bollot of an intelligent citizeu honestly, fearlessly cast- Keveuge! Greed of "gain ! What despicable motives are these, to guide the hand of a freeman casting that mighty weapon, the ballot. B. To The Farmers.
