1897, was a day and always will be a day in our recollection. Little George Rowland and Johnnie Fletcher went with the big boys-, but Jimmie "could not stand it bis religious persuasiou being such tbat he could not stay where there is "much water." We are really here and have been ever since 5:30 yesterday, ihouyh 'a soon as we arrived the 'Squire said in mournful tones: "Lord, Lord! there's nothing here but sand and water and if I had my black horse here I would find a ford to this thing aud go home for breakfast." However, the ford couldn't be found and black non est and we are still here. Last night we ate supper! We did, in fact, and one man said, the second time since we left home, 'That's the best I ever saw aud cooked to my notion." And I do wish Si Powell and Havana could see the water and gel an appetite. But we ate supper, I say it with emphasis, and we ale with emphasis. After that some went to bed and some to the beach aud saw the moon rise right out of the "old original and ancient" Atlantic, saw id come right out of it aud water rip off of it so we tore blankelsnd wiped off the face of moon and went to bed.

But we We the our the are up again, and mean up and no mis- take; none of your half way ups but up, well up, up in the world aud up on the world almost aud up in spirits now I mean "the spirits of just men," The sand, that is the sand we ee. looks to some like a sea of silver and free coinage would make the world rich. The sounds we hear are some what different. Extravagant sounds like this from a man nearly a hundred years old: "Tie them sheets to the bed stead or this wind will blow them into the ocean before we can get breakfast." The sheets having been properly tied we ate breakfast, our crowd some how being severely hungry again, and fishing was the next order and we fished until it seemed cruel to flsh any more. So we decided to wade some in the sound.

We all decided but we didn't all wade we did all roll up our pants but one in the crowd, upou examining his legs, said he believed in his soul his legs were so crooked the scat of his pants would drag the water before he got knee deep. I dou't think it is a true bill but he didn't wade. The fair sex seem to be partial to our crowd, especially to the one a hundred years old, which excites some little jealousy in the next oldest in the party. So he inquired into the cause of said partiality, and it was declared by a certain belle that he looked so fresh aud chipper they couldn't help it whereupon he said "there was a certain apple tree in father's orchard that never bore any fruit and it was always green and fresh looking, aud looked like it might live a thousand years, and you may make your own application." But the old mau has untied the sheets from the bed and laid him to pleasaut dreams, so good-night, Mr. Editor, I go with him.

But hold, I can't go; the centenarian snores and the other old man can not stand it! He snores louder and longer breaths and the other old man is in despair no sleep to-night. But lo! relief and once for good and all; there comes a hitch iu his snoring aud he hangs tire and from the devout iips of the old He no man we hear this: "Thank God! is dead at last." There absolutely are no flies. mosquitoes and uothiug but the pleas- antest of pleasantries.

Death of Mrs. D. E. Stalnback. It was indeed with regret that we learned of the death of Mrs.

Minnie B. Stainback, beloved wife of our esteemed friend Mr. D. E. Stainback, editor of the Roanoke Neves, which occurred at her home in Weldon on Monday morning of last week, aged 37 years.

Deceased was a most excellent lady and her death will carry profound sorrow to the hearts of a wide circle of friends and admirers. She leaves besides her husband two bright young sons. Mrs. Stainback was a daughter of the late Co). D.

B. Bell, of Enfield. The body was taken there for burial and was laid to rest in the cemetery by the side of her father, mother and sister. The Enfield Enterprise in noting the death of Mrs. Stainback says: It is hard to bring the bier and shroud and consign our loved ones to the cold oblivion of the tomb, but it is sweet to know that 'tis but the setting sun of earthly sorrow, pain and suffering and that beyond these clouds of grief and the awe-inspiring mystery of the grave the radiant sun of a new born hope is ever breaking resplendent on the enraptured vision of the redeemed of the Lord.

Our heart goes out to the bereaved ones in deepest sympathy. Wanted. Old gold and silver wanted. We will take old gold and silver for any goods or repairs in our line and allow the market price. Jewelers and Opticians.

Death of Jas. A. Ludington. It is with re-ret that the Gold Leaf notes the death of Mr. James A.

Ludington, a former resident of Henderson, which occurred at his home iu Chicago Heights, 111., on the 2nd inst. From the Signal published in- that place under date of July 9th, we take the following particulars which will be read with melancholy interest by many who knew the deceased an honest, industrious, true hearted young man, a loyal friend and devoted aud affectionate son aud brother: After a protracted period of intense suffering James A. Ludington died at his home ou Twenty-third street Friday evening, July 2, surrounded by his relatives and friends. The funeral services which were held in the Pres- byteriau church Suuday afternoon at 2:30 were conducted by the members of the Tribe of Ben Hurr of which he was an active member. The sermon was delivered by Rev.

Hoke and the remains were laid to rest in the Crete cemetery. James A. Ludington was bom in Woodstock, Canada, Nov. 1803, and at the age of eight years his parents moved to North Carolina where he entered a newspaper office and became au expert printer, and by hard work and economy he soon became the proprietor of a job office and did a thriving business. While only thirteen years old his father died leaving him the maiu8tay of the family.

Light years after the father's death they moved North, locating at Rogers Park, this Stale. Four years ago he came to Chicago Heights with the Canedy Otto Mfg." buying out the Fletcher Machine Shop and formiug a partnership with Stanley Searles which cou-tinued up to the time of his death. At the age of twenty-three he united with the Presbyterian church and remained an earnest member up to the last. He was a man of stroug convictions, upright and honest in his dealings with his fellow men. During his long illness which dated back to last February he bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude, content to go if the Lord so willed.

Eating watermelons is an art, learned onlv by experience. As a dessert it is not a success. It falls too heavy on dinner. Like a pretty girl, it is best by itself; it loses half its charm by being mixed in a crowd. The melon should be cold, should be ripe, its flesh should blush like a graduate; its heart glow like a sun kissed cloud at the close of day; and its temperature should be as chilly as the smile of a Boston belle.

Millions of ns suffer from indigestion, but we often don't know it. We think it issomething else. Even doctors often mistake the symptoms. Pale, thin people, who are overworked, who need strength, who seem in want of proper food, should take Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is astonishing what food will do, when properly digested.

It will make you strong, revive you, refresh you, sustain you, make you fat, restore your color, make muscle, brain fibre, courage, endurance, energy; increase your power to throw off disease and kep you healthy and happy; Indigestion does just the opposite, but indigestion can be cured and prevented with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

The conductors' excursion to Norfolk last week broke the record for gigantic affairs of this kind. It had to be run in two sections in order to accommodate the crowd and then hundreds of people between Henderson and Weldon wee left high and dry at the stations as the trains sped by.

The first section, from Baleigh, carried 17 coaches, all packed to their utmost when the train reached here. The second section, from Durham, had 13 coaches when it pulled away from Henderson aud there was standing room only. It is estimated that both trains carried between 2,500 and 3,000 people into Pdrtsmouth Tuesday afternoon.

Editor Gold Leaf: This old town, known far and wide in the last century as the resort of horse racers and other sports, under the name of Chrisfiansville, hut for the last thirty years as a blue stocking Presbyterian village where immorality of uo sort was tolerated, and which has slept in quiet repose for half a century, is now becoming famous aaiu, because it has recently beeu "discovered" that the water iu one well here is strong in lithia, and another iu calcium.

Tnis water has been here for a hundred years, and it is strange that the many people who drank it aud praised it. should never have thought to have it analyzed until a few years ago. he discovery has leut some vim aud life to the entire town and now the water is being shipped all over the country, a hotel has been built for the accommodation of health and pleasure seekers, aud they arc here basking in the shade of the wide spreading old trees. Citizens who have witnessed the cures wrought by these waters have the same faith in their virtue a child has in its mother. A crowd of North Carolinians have been here since the opening of the season, Durham.

Oxford and Louis-bure being well represented. Dr. I. B. Clifton, wife and son, of spent two weeks here, and everybody was sorry when they left.

At present Louisburg is pleasantly represented by Miss Edith Yarborough and Mrs. Crenshaw aud daughter. Crops are good in this section, tobacco especially, aud the warehousemen are expecting large sales this season. Some new crop was sold on the 13th, the earliest in the history of the town. The Democrats and Populists are fusing in this county.
