Drug Wednesday the 15th. Ed C. Townsend- Contributed, dwakd Carney Townsend was born August 18, 1881, and died of pneumonia February 28, 1900, after an illness of only twenty-sevn hours, and was buried in Pine Hill cemetery, this city. March 2. At the time of his death he was in school at Oak Ridge, where be was preparing himself to enter college at the beginning of the fall term, with the profession of civil engineer ing in view.

Ed. was an unusually bright and promising young man, and was loved by all who knew him, as was evidenced by the regret expressed by every one when it was announced on the streets Thursday morniDg that l. Townsend was dead, and by the large concourse of friends that fol lowed his remains to the grave. His death was peculiarly sad, coming, as it did, just as be was passing from youth to young manhood; just when, from a human -land point, be was getting ready to live; just when a life of usefulness seemed to be opening up before him. It seems hard that tbe fondest hopes of father, mother, Bisters and brothers should thus be shattered, and we prone are to ask, why was not Ed.

who was so full of ambition to accomplish something in the world, spared to us? Bat we should remember that the great God, who rules tbis universe, never makes a mistake; that though His providence at times seems dark and unwise, chat at pometime it will be plain; that all these trials and heartbreak ings we are called upon to endure are but the refiner at work upon us to fit us for a higher life; that it may be. "Not row, but in the coming years, It may tie in the better land, We '11 reaa the meaning of our tears. And then, sometime, we'll understand. "God knows the way. he bolds the key, He guides us with unerring hand; Sometime with teailess eyes we 'il see; Yes, there, up there, we '11 unaer-staud." We recommend the heartbroken family, to the One who said "My grace is sufficient lor thee;" who is ever listening for the cry of even the east of His oreatures; the One who is always ready to comfort us; to weep with us; to go down into the deepest alley of sorrow with us, and who alone can comfort us in such afflictions.

May this sorrow, which is so hard to understand, "Work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." For we sorrow not as those who have no hope. R.E. H. Burlington N. O.

VVe undersUnd that Mr. Leslie Maa- dor sailed, last week, for Porto Rico, Mr, Jamie Sharpe, for some reason, was not taken. Il is supposed that he will sail later. It was quite a sad blow to the two boys to be thus separated, as they bad been such close friends so long.

It is not known when Mr. Sharpe will sail. The editor was very highly complimented last Monday night a week ago, by the baud coming around and serenading him. The boys, led by Mr. Er-win Holt, discoursed some sweet music.

He tells that be has killed within tbe past year twenty-two hawks and five large owUti Since the beginning of this year ha has caught thirteen hawks and four targe owls in the same trap. Mr. Wyatte says he has not spent over an hour'j time in this work, as he had the traps near his shop. Mr. Wyatte is a hustler anyway.

The Durham Siu thinks that the new moon which has been seen for the past few evenings is a dry moon, that it is lying on its back. Well, Bro. Sun, we have been too busy to notice the moon since it come out this time, but if its lying on its back look out. There is trouble ahead or rather there is water ahead. But we'll take a look at it tell you about it next week after we see whether it is going to raiu or not.

We were up at the postoffivje on last Monday and Mr. Gutberie told us that people had alrrady began calling for the News for this week. They were anxi ous for it. He said he co ild truthfully say that at least two hundred people called at the offije each week a day or. so before publication day for tbe News Mr.

Guthrie also tells us that since he has begun the publication of the list of dead letters received at this office, be has no trouble in delivering them to the right parties. The people love to read the Nbws, even the ads." The Filipions are still fighting, and it is announced that a oompaign of regular guerilla warefare may be expested for a long time yet. In South Luzon where it was reported that they had been whipped out fighting; is still going on. A force of 2,200 Americans were engaged by a handful of insurgents.
