Sate in the funeral rites. The

tbeia departed brother.
The services at the residence
having been concluded, the long
procession formed and turned
toward L^ng Creek cemetery,
three and a half miles away.
There was a long procession of
carriages and pedestrians. At
the cemetery many people wait
ing, and the entire concourse
made one of the largest gather

this noted burying ground.
Hen the first pert ol tbe
Masonic ceremonies was con

and the concluding part by the
Rev. Dr. W. S. Fitch, who closed

and regret and when the end
finally came, his entire home
town was in sorrow.
This brief sketch is closed by
Quoting from the concluding por
tion of tbc eloquent snd touch
ing funeral address of Dr. Pitch,
as follows:
"Dear friends, I consider the
Scriptures which I have quoted
in this imperfect address to bt
peculiarly appropriate to the oc
casion, in view of the well-known
and recognized Christian charac
ter of the deceased.
Onr departed brother gave
bis heart to God‘eight years ago
and traveled in the highway of
God, and baa now come to Zion
with songa and everlasting joy
upon hia bead. He has been
for these years a consistent and
faithful member of the Church
of God, but the great Head of
the Chnrcb, the Bishop of Souls,
has transferred him to the ranks
of the Church Triumphant,
which is witboot spot or wrinkle
before the throne of God in
heaven.
"These dear friends, tbe wid
ow and children of tbe deceased
saint at whose bier we gather to
day are able to cherish tbe sweet
est and fondest memories of the
tenderness, patience, fidelity,
love, devotion and sacrifice, of
him who proved himself a true
and noble husband and father.
n My dear sister, God bless and
keep you and yonr dear children
and comfort your hearts, as He
only can in this sndden and un
expected bereavement which baa
come to you.”

East Gaston. N. C., March 21—
We enjoyed wry much the arti*
cle in The Gazette of last
Tuesday, written by Mr. O. J.
Jones, one of the most pious
young men we ever knew. He
is a son of Mr. W. M. Jones, one
of the best farmers 'and moat
substantial citizens of Sast Gas*
ton. We. like the editor of Thr
Gazette, hope it will do some
good.
Mr. M. i*. Canslcr, or rather
Martin Luther, (or better known
as "Sling") and his good wife of
East Gaston have returned from
their recent trip to Catawba
countv. They had been to viait
their daughter. Mrs. Barbara Fio
ger.
Mrs. N. P. Farrar, though get
ting along in years, is still pret
ty spry. She lives about five
mile* from Ml. Holly, where she
has been recently visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Hoover. When
her visit was concluded she
struck out md walked, taking
her home-folks greatly by sur
prise when she stepped in.
The tide has turned. Instead
of teeing our fanners going np
and down the road, they are now
to be found in their fields. The
familiar sonnd of woh, ha, gee,
get up there, can be heard on ev
ery aide. It is late, but if the
farmer* can get good weather
for a while they will have every
thing in good shape. One can
didate has already been teen out
in the field riding along follow
ing a farmer trying to persuade
him to cast bis strength for him.
Would it not be better for the
candidate to come with the plow
and hoe, for just a little while
anyway?
We note several farmers are
sowing oats and small grasses.
This u the thing they should do
and not go wild on cotton. The
raising of home supplies is what
makes a farmer, now-a-days, no
matter what price be can get for
cotton. Show us a farmer that
raises his horn: supplies, and
then what cotton be can and we
will show you a man that lives
at home, with plenty around him
and some to spare.
It Is he that pats down the Fiddle,

to pills, drags or other stomach
