She .leaves besides har husband five children and many friends 'to mourn her exit from this world. The deceased had been m .ill li'salth for several months but , w giemed to be improving until a few days before her death when she become much worsQ and gradually grew weaker until the final dissolution. The remains were laid to rest in the M.- E. Church yard on Rundav evening at 3 o'clock, Rey, M. Y.

Ono of his salesmen, Mr, Henry Gavlord having had some exper ipnceirLNavication agreed to go to Washington and bring the boat around through' the Lower Sound to Plymouth. He went to vv ash- ino ton. Monday the 12tn mst , and there secured an engineer a Mr. Wnsht and one 1 o ciQCK that night steamed down the Pnmlico.enroute for home In the Pamlico Sound on Tues day, he struck heavy .waters and had to put in harbor from there until Saturday night the gallant little shin battled with sea from time to time, reaching Sandy Point Saturday night Tuesday c;he started up the beach and went in North River for the night Mr. Avera and the friends of Mr. Gaylord here, as well as the friends of Mr Wright at Wash intrton were alarmed and feared that the little boat had been lost as no tidings were had from them Theboat not having been heard from JMondav last, having been gone a week, Mr, Ayers secured the Rio Grande" and manned by Cant. A. J. Newberry, a skilled NaviVator and Mr. Clarendon Willoughby, they set out to search for the missing boat but had onlj gone as far down the Albermarle as the Railroad Bridge when they met the "Bettie" C". and found friend Gaylord as fat and happy as ever, none the worse for his rough voyage The two boats came into port about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon and Mr, Gaylord met a happy welcome from all his friends who Drainage Item, While at Creswell the past woek it was our pleasure, upon invitation from Mr. A, G. Walker, to visit the drainage work now boinf? done by him for the benoflt of his Weston" farm property on Lnko 1'helps iuul to view the work already done through the "efforts. of eueh men as he, Dr. W, It. Ilardi.-on, Alfred Alexander, W. T. l'belps, J. J., .S.. XV. and G. F. Wood ley and others upon the upper Seuppeniong .Kiver. No pen can adequately describe the improvement this work has already- accomplished ; the premises must be viewed "before and after" to realize the immensity of the ben efit so far derived, or to even dream of what the "future development of this section will eventually mean when the drainage project is carried to final completion. To say nothing of what the avork ha3 done for the farms along the river, the writer passed over the river swamp, on the public road, just above the town "of Cherry a short while before the Work wag done. Then he had to get upon the buggy seat to keep dry and the pun cheon road was so full of holes, that he expected every .minute to be wrecked or for , the horse to fall. To day the road-bed is dry, barn and smooth, and the run, instead of being an jinsightly branch is to day a navigable stream, oyster boats and li tee craft easily coming up to Cherry. And if the government could be induced to straighten but a few sharp crooks below this point boats of 50 tons or more could reach iiere and would place one of the best and most prosperous sections of the county within, easy touch with the markets. 1 But to go back to Mr. Walker's personal work We went up a canal at. right angles from the river toward the Nortjj-easteru point of his farm. This canal i now about one and. a quarter miles long, is cut 30 feet wide and 8 feet deep, and will be continued about one mile further. 1 We went upon the dredge and gased in astonishment at what ay before it. Behind lay a stream 30 feet wide and S feet deep ; ahead iy a dense gum swamp, with trees up to 14 indies or more in diameter. the uniniated it looked lmpossi- Dle for this littie machine to poub ts way through such obstructions, ,ut look to the rear ana see-tne placid stream, with banks of stumps, ogs, debris and earth on either side and the proof of its power lay before you. . Mr. .Walker informs us that this work is being done, at a cost not to exceed $2,000 a mile. There is a eeson in this to thoso interested in rainae, and we would advise such to visit tins work, for they might earn much from Mr. Walker's ex- lorience. . 'Tis a pity this work was not be gun earlier, but wo live and labor for those who are to follow, and we ave full "confidence in the assertion that within a few 3 ears this county ill be one of tho most wealthy and nroressive counties in the state. We heartily exclaim, Hurrah! for Gus" Walker, and lor nil these who are lending helping hands in the development of our farm lands, for in tlu'se lie the future greatness of Eastern North Caroliua.
