' This i:-, a ft i"on on the R- A' D. Railroad, twelve mi'es north of Green, boro, which is so situated at to render it a place susceptible of much improve ment. Quite a number of years ago that vicinity contained a number of promi nent persons who were merchants, farmers and manufacturers, such as Robt. C. Rankin, thi father of John C. and Wm. W. Rankin, who still sur vive; E'igah Chilcutt, sti'l represented by sons and daughters; No? h M. Cly mer, who long lived at Monticello, orig inally knowa ai Ramsboro; Cants, Whartons, Vanstory's, rritchetts, Brannocks and Thack-.rs. ,Rank:n, Thacker, Chilcutt, Clymer, were at one time very prominent as memberfr of Fair Grove church, at which from i8j5 on, a succes;sion of camp meetings were held. The neighborhood in the olden time was an excellent one, and although the elders have passed away these have in some cases left worthy successors. Many observations might be made concerning those seniors and the substantial manner in which they lived. There wrre perhaps more tan neries in that neighborhood than al most any other. " Rankin, Thacker, Clymer and Brannock, each, at least, having one. i The late Isaac Thacker, whose wid- dow still occupies the old homestead, was one of the most energetic and pros perous- men in his section. In his day he conducted a tannery, also the best equipped shops for the manufacture of waeons, the entire work " bcinir done under his superv.sion. The writer remembers heaving heard his toict about day break every morning calling up his workmen, which was the signal that he himself would be in the lead. - And he had fine success by pushing his business before ' him. ' He was the last to piss away if thef itai. wart men of fifty yeats ago." Like the others mentioned he was $, free hearted man; and notwithstanding that his busi ness engrossed so much of his time. He was a tenter at campmeetings" and an attendant af the protracted meetings of his neighborhood. Eligah Chilcui... is known among other things, for his great memory, and for having read through the bible con secutively for about 125 times. i It would be vei interesting to the more aged of the survivors to read a particular accountiof tiiese old citiznes, but the narrowness of, the space at command necessarily forbids an ex tended notice. ' , A new generation, and one necessa rily different from the old has risen up, and are filling the places of those who have passed over to the other side. Fair Grove church stands as it. was j in i860, since which time Browns Summit, three miles away has sprung up. ' Here there is a neat new church, with bell in its tower to call together the Worshippers of the village, whose pastor is Rev. R. H. Wills. Rev. T. T. Ferfee, M. D.f who lives in the vil lage, is not only a practitioner sjf med icine, but also occasionlly preache. Browns Summit occupies agooaposi tion, and is surrounded by a clever and prosperous community. , . - " vD ' What thev very much need now, and could have if they would, is a good academy building with a good teacher, and certainly they will lie most dere lict Ware important sense iC they do not make a move soon in the direction Indicated. ' Somebody only needs to object caa be The Marrlr.je. It was Mr. Jas. A. Hadley, ol Bes ton, a ra:,Toad town between Golds boro and I -a Grange, who canie up a few days ago, and on Tuesday evening was tnpiied to Miss Swann Brower, of Libe ty. ' The groom is a solid man of his sec tion and a prosperous farmer where firming is done in the best of style. He is a brother to D;. M. Hadley, of La Grange, a fanner and pracUtioner of medicine and otherwise prominent in his town and county. Like the Doctor, the groom is a first-class man. He was accompanied by Mr. George Hadley, only son of the ' Doctor, who played the part of best man in good The bride is a daughter of the late Washington Brewer and of his 'telict, Mrs. Nellie Brower, of Liberty, whose excellent personal qualities are ' well known, the only regret being that Lib erty loses-what Beston-gaias. . - - The ceremonies were attended by only a few persons, after vhich an at tractive and appealing supper wis par taken of. Next morning atroo o'ekek the bride and groom, attended by Mr. Geo. Hadley and : Mr. Lilly Broker took conveyance, to Siler City, at which place a complimentary dinner awaited them.

Mr. Most appeared and argued that the commitment of Mrs. Tourgee was not legal, inasmuch as the judgevwhb ordered it ; did not have jurisdiction, it not being proven that Mrs. Tourgee was guilty of con tempt, that the lady was "h6t regularly subpoenaed to appear, and that she has not handled any, funds ' belonging to her husband since 1880.
