The arms mother earth has garnered to ner another one of our older citi- ,'ciis. Mr. Charles Stein who died the morning of the 2Stli. was buried today beside his wife ill the city cemetery. He was born June 14. 1832, nt Holtz iiiindeii. State of Rrunswlck, Germany, ind came to this country when he was I wcnty-foiir years of age. He has been a citizen of Raleigh for about 45 years and to a generation ind a half he hail been a familiar figure insin our streets as he Wlent from his home to his place of busi ness. Sonic forty years since he wns mar ried to Miss Flirabcth Baugh, who died seven years ago. Four daughters survive them. Mr. Stein leaves one sister In Washington ii y as the only surviving member of the family in this country. A nephew. George Stein, is n prosperous business man in the city of Washington. As a boot and shoe maker Mr. Stein 'earned his trade in Germany and has lu i n one of the most efficient workmen the city of Raleigh has had. A a citizen he was quiet and order ly, minding his own business and hav ing harsh words to say of no one. Gen tle and unohtrusive in his manner he loved the quietutle of home. Few homes in the city have more tender a friction in them than was found in his and his deep interest in his dangh lers and bis tender solicitation for their welfare was clearly marked. He will never cross the threshold of his home again, but good assurance was given of an interest in a house not lade wilh hands, eternal m the henv- f'HS. The burial service was conducted by Revs. A. M. Simnis. W. C. Norman and Dr. M. M. Marshall, the latter rending the burial service at the grave. May the grace of God fill the hearts if I lie liercaved ones. A FRIEND.

C, send The Sun a miio mary of a statement made by Mr. J. llowd Cheek, a Confederate veteran, which will doubtless prove i f interest to the people of Baltimore. Th-; sum mary is as follows: "Mr. J. Dowd Cheek, nn old Confed erate soldier of Silcr City, Chnthain county, N. C, desires to return thanks to the good HMple of Baltimore for the kindnesses shown him when he was on his way from the prison at Elmira, N. Y. He wants them to know that he siill remembers them, and is always glad to hear of their prosperity from our merchants, who buy the greater part ot tneir goons in rammore. "Mr. Cheek, who belonged to the Forty-first North Carolina Heavy Ar tillcry, was captured at Fort Fisher and imprisoned at Elmira. When he was released, owing to some delay in procuring trausirtation, he consumed all his allotted rations before he left Elmira. The train he was on took three days to make the trip from El inira to Baltimore, and for all that lime lie was almost without food. But lie had hardly reached Baltimore, which he did early one morning, be fore he and about 20 of his compan ions wore met by a widow, who took them to a restaurant and ordered the keeper to provide them with whatever they wnntd to eat and drink. "After that he found nothing but offers of food and assistance on all sides. He was given 5 by as many ladiw, and one man gave him an order to his store for a suit of clothes, which he failed to go for, but brought the order home in his pocket. A gen tleman, to whose store he and a com rade went to buy some tobacco, not only gave them tobacco in abundance, but also compelled them to stay for dinner with him. For all these and other acta of kind ness Mr. Cheek feels love and grati tude for the people of Baltimore, and he wants them to know it. He is now 72 years old, , but has the heart of a young man, and with a wife still young and two daughters live prosper ously and happily . on his farm near Siler City, N. X" A company may he formed to construct a railroad lm ifirom Washington to Van dimere, a distance of forty-five miles. Dr. D. H. Abbott is one of tbe promoters of tiia enterprise.
