The tariff bill has passed and carpets are reduced wonderfully. We have been waitiug for the passage of this bill so we have not bought any carpets. Most merchants went straight on and bought carpets and bad thera shipped right out regardless of the tariff and they will try to Argue you into believ- iug the tariff don't affect carpets right away. This is not true. In 10 days from day of passage it goes into effect and you can save one quarter of the price of your carpet if you let good aeuse prevail. We will have a stock of carpets such as you rarely see. Our buyer is to go to New York this week for carpets. Yours truly, D. T. Swindell.

Hill Lodge of Masons. The inscrutable fate of mortal man. and indeed of all living things upon this terrestial sphere, is that none es- ape the icy grasp of death. It shuns ueither the palace of the great and powerful, nor the hovel of the most wretched add degraded. It is familiar in the frequented haunts of men, and equally present in the seclusion of the closet, or the solitude of the wilder ness. Science with all its vaunted pro gress has not yet learned the lesson of prolonging the average of life, much less the obliteration of death. "All who live must die," is the im mutable condition upon which exist ence, as we understand it, is assured. When we consider that the choice of life, or its rejection, upon this condi tion, is not permitted us, life indeed would be a bitter irony were death the end of all. To live but to die, and death being 'a) solute destruction, total annihila tion, utter obliteration," were a fate so cruel and releutless as to suggest that the tu in furies of injustice a ndhate presided at its con. eption, instead of the divine attributes of justice, love aud mercy. The argument proves too much. It leads to conclusions which cause the rejection of its premises. Aside from divine revelation it is at variance with an indefinable something evolved from the inner consciousuess, the soul, of man. It is not consonant with what we see iu all the universe the light and beauty, the harmony, law, order, symphony, which pervade all the heavens, which characterize the celes tial bodies and direct their move ments. That the infinite power which crea ted man has ordained for him a gran der destiny than to live in mortal form only, is an eternal truth whispered in the music of the celestial spheres. John Bennett Neathery was born in the county of Warren on the twenty ifth day of December, 1835. In ear ly life his parents moved to Franklin .Minify where he attended the public schools for a few years, and then en tered a printing office in the town of Warrenton, where he learned the art of printing. In 1855 he came to Ral eigh to follow the calling of his cho sen profession, where he resided until the year 1859, when he moved to v'hapel Hill, and became the publisher of the university magazine. Upon the breaking out of the w ar and closing of the university of the state in 1861 he re turned to Raleigh j and with the mili tary rank of first lieutenant served in the office of the quartermaster gen eral till the cessation of hostilities in the spring of 1865. Until the first of January, 1866, Bro. Neathery was connected with a literary paper then published in Raleigh, when he became a member of the publishing firm with which he remained for several years, and from which he retired on account of declining health. Later he became the executive clerk of the governor of the state, and on a change of the ad ministration was made the governor's private secretary, which position he tilled with distinguished ability until about the first of 1877, when he was appointed treasurer of Wake county, which office he filled until 1885. He then became an active member of the firm of Alfred Williams & Co., of Ral eigh, continuing until the time of his death August 29, 1894. In all the relations of life, as a citi zen, a public officer and a Mason, Bro Neathery has gone through the world with a character unsoiled and a repu tation untarnished. As a public man he leaves a long record of useful and honorable service which his state will remember with gratitude, and .of which those dearest to him may well be proud. He was a man of high sense of honor, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He was courteous to every one with whom he came in contract, the high and the low alike; and in tarn commanded the highest respect and deference from everyone He was free from concealment, from 1 - 3 J Vln1 CUUUlUg BUU UOUObtUU VI I 1 Ha was frank and outspoken, leaving nothing iu doubt as to his true posi tion. As a husband and a father be was a model of all those flue qualities which go to make home as near per fection as it ispossi' le for human man to make it. To his anil ted widow the death of our brother and her com panion is an irreparable loss. She has great couiol.it ion in I lie fact that he leaves nothing behind that could mar the happy reflections on his well spent life and uniinpeacha' le char acter. While he sleeps so silent beside bis only child, the phenomena , .f nature will go on iu their appointed courses just the same as if he and the hosts who sleep ftith him had never lived or never died. '1 he days will continue to come and go in splendor with dawn's red light and suuset's blush. The nights will evergem the sky with stars; the seasons as iu all time, will mantle the earth with bloom and verdure, will deck the fields with harvests r shroud them with snow. And as the hours and days and sea sons come and go, by a kind provision for our happiness, time will dull, as it ever does, the keen edge of grief. In years that are to come it may be, it must be a consjlation to his relatives and friends, and especially to her who has been left to go down the path alone without the companion with whom she "climbed the hill together" it must be some solace to them to feel that the priceless heritage of a name honored, esteemed and beloved, is theirs. Bro. Neathery was initiated into Hiram lodge, No. 40, on the of , 18 . On his removal to Chapel Hill he was elected master of the lodge at that place, from the floor, and under a special dispensation of the grand mafter of the state was iu stalled into office. When Wm. G. Hill oage, o. sies, was established in 1864 he was made its first master. From that time until the day of his death he has been an active and faith ful member, having filled almost every office, from time to time, that could be conferred on him. It was in the mys circle that those finer qualities with which he was so abundantly blessed shone most brightly. He was the life of our social meetings, full of good nature, genial and entertaining. He possessed a fund of humor that enlivened our meetings and drove away the monotony and dullness that too often characterizes our lodge com munications. Brother jNeatnery was a masonic student, and was perhaps the highest authority on the ritual in North Carolina ... Possessed of a fine memory, the command of elegant language, and with patience and talent for the teach ing, he did much towards correcting many of the errors and inconsisten cies that had crept into the unwritten ceremonies of the order. His journey is ended. From time to time the pilgrimage of life is over I'he weary feet and brain are at rest Another of our brothers, one who was strong in mind and purpose, with an intellect of superior brightness, with a wealth of honors, blessed with the love of home and friends, has passed through the portal of the unknown Helpless we stand at the dark gate way and vainly . ask the dead to tell us of the sliadowy real to which we also hasten. As a further expression of our sin-J cere sorrow the following is offered. Resolved, That the lodge has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Bro. John B, Neathery, past master of this lodge. : Resolved, That in his demise this community has suffered the loss of a valuable citizen ; this lodge one of its most, faithful and beloved mem bers ; the fraternity at large one of its brightest lights and - most learned in our mystic rites and his family a de voted father and husband. Resolved, That this lodge will at tend in a body the funeral of our de ceased brother. ..' Resolved, That as a further testimo ny of oar sorrow the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for the period of sixty days. Resolved, That the foregoing be in serted in a memorial volume and for warded to the widow of oar deceased brother. R. H. Bradley, Wm. Simpson, D. E EVlBITT.r Committee.
