Fannie Terry died at her home near rally Ho cnurcn, August 29th, 1909, in the 91st year of her age. It fell to Sister Terry's lot to be poor in this world's goods but she was rich in the grace of God. Many years ago she be came a member of Tally Ho Baptist church. For ten or fifteen, years she was not able to earn her own support. It was a joy to the members of her church to 'make regular contributions to aid her.

Everybody loved good old Sister Terry. About all she could do was to knit, and read her New Testa ment, which she loved devotedly. In her last moments she talk ed calmly about her departure, and said she was ready and willing to go. She has exchanged the infirmities of old age for the bloom and eternal joy of heaven. The burial services were con ducted by Rev.

A Stradley, and her body laid to "rest by the side of her husband in the old family burying ground, one mile west of Providence. J. A S. Death of Mrs Knott. Knott, Near N.

of Johnston county. Mrs So- phis Adcock died in Wake county.She was married in 18d2 and lived to see and prosperous descendantcs. In her family, she was exceedinly gentle and patient, industrious, and helpful. She lived to serve. Self denial and loving devotion to to duty were beautifully exempli ed in her daily life.

None knew but to love her: none named her cut in praise. She did good and only good all her days. Early in life she united with Hesters Baptist church and lived a py and consecrated life. She was indeed a mother in Isarel. The last few years of her life was spent amon the children.

When she died.her remains were brought back home She rests in hope by the side of her honored husband in the family cemetery near Hesters church. Her old friend and pastor, Dr. Marsh, spoke the words of comfort and the children spread the tiow-on their mother's grave. Good night we'll see the in morning." M.

Apply, at Very Interesting but Belated Letter Received from our Esteemed Correspondent Big Crop of Snakes Around Sharon in the western part of Granville, the crops are very inferior, not much over a half is expected Three causes have brought about this result.

First in the early part of the season it was so wet corn and tobacco could not be properly worked. Second, much of the corn and tobacco was drowned so that it could not recover from it. Third, after the heavy rains ceased much of the corn and tobacco received no more cultivation and the ground became hard and crusty so that crops were thereby greatly injured. One more working after the heavy rains ceased, to have lightened the surface of the land, would have almost doubled the yield of many fields of corn and tobacco. But the recent showers are making, some improvement in the crops.

There are some pretty good fields of corn and tobacco. The wheat crop in this section is good. Some farmers have wheat enough to last them two years. The laud here is well adapted to the production of corn, oats, wheat, various kinds of grass are a natural growth here. It is a fine section for stock raising.

If people would go into this business it would yield them good money and require only moderate labor, with plenty of wheat and corn to live on and numbers of cattle and horses to sell for money people ought to live well in this section. It is true that they are somedistancefrom railroads but the rural delivery pnts them in daily touch with the outside world. Snakes are abundant this year. A man near Sharon had killed 32 up to a month Perhaps he has killed eight or ten more by this time. The first blind calf I remember to have ever heard of was born a few weeks ago at Mr.

Alfred Den-ney's. It was somewhat deformed about the head; and was helpless, It was regarded as humane to kill it. Mr Luther McFarland who has been afflicted a number of vears is now considerably improved. He is bright, noble youne man and his recovery would be a great blessing. bharon church has just enjoyed good protracted meeting.

Rev. uastor of Roxboro Baptist church preached excellent sermons and did earnest work in the meeting There were right many professions of faith: six mar ried men and two young ladies congregations were large and orderly and the was greatly en joyed by all. S. J. B.

Roller In the death of this good man Ox ford lost one of her best citizens. During the twenty five or thirty years of his residence among us, I have known him intimately; an the better I knew him. the more I respected and loved him. He was a quiet man; he did not talk much a- bout his own business or the affairs of others He was a man of strong and sound common sense. When I wanted information on certain bus iness matters, I felt pretty safe if I acted on his advice.

He was a warm hearted, genial friend. I always loved to meet him for he greeted me with a smileand a cordial hand shake. I regarded him as one of my truest and best riends. Brother Roller was a man deep and solid convictions of truth and duty. He investigated questions thoroughly and when he decided athini to tv rteht.

he finally stood by it. He tried to do faithfully all he thought it was his duty to do. When Bro R.oller first came to Oxford he wasamember ofthe Luth eran church; but their being no church of his denomination town he attended the Baptist church. He began to study the faith and prac tice of the Baptists and after ma ture investigation he decided tnat he could consientiously and scrip-turally become a joined ed the church, and was soon chos en adeacon; and Ihave rarely ever known a more useful church work er than he was. Whatever work, he felt he could do, he did it willing ly and well.

He was always present at services unless providentially nm-dered. He did not look for excuses to keep away from these meetings, loved the services of God's house. Bro. Roller was an honorable bus iness man. a good citizen, a lov ing husband, an affectionae father, a true friend, ausetui cnurcn wor ker and a genuine christian.

AH Druggists Part of Account Written by Sener in Courier of Interesting Occasion of Which Gen. Royster was Orator. The Masonic Picnic was bad on tho 1 Sth. On arriving at Loch Lilly wo found Past Master C. H.

Hunter ono of the brightest Masons in North Carolina or any other state or country with coat off and sleeves rolled up with sev eral men white and colored, as assist- ants engaged in preparing ingredients 0 in i and filling an 8 or 10 gallon wash pot for the Brunswick stew. The said C. H. Hunter chief cook and bowl washer. In preparing the corn bread frying pans were used and the above; mentioned chief cook showed himself an expert at turning stewed corn hoe cakes without the use of knife, fork, spoon or any other implement, by simply thrusting pan forward dropping; the hand with pan a little with a flirt which detached the hoe cake from the pan and the cake was turned and placed back on the stove almost as soon as you could snap your finger.

A toble had been prepared 40 or 50 feet in length. About half afterieleven o'clock the boxes and baskets were brought and the table loaded with edibles until Jthere was not room for more. Gen. Rorster, of Oxford being present was introduced by the worshipful Master of Roxboro Lodge No. 113 A.

F. and A. Cant. Spencer of Roxboro, X. in a pieasant manner witb pleasant remarks relative to the orator of the day.

The generals speech was complimented by many very highly. Not long since there was an organization instituted in the town of Ox, ford, N. C. A prominent citizen was elected president and another secre-. tary.

The object or purpose had in view was not stated at the time nor has it been since. The organizers themselves didn't seem to know, but something ought to be done and we'll organize said they and do something. This scribe thinks it probable that they will conclude to aid the ladies in beautifying the town, or in some way by putting their heads together, to invent plans to benefit themselves, society, and the couatry, as the Kings, ten or more centuries preceding the) christian era, including Solomon King of Isreal, the wisest man the world ever produced, no doubt, proposed to organize, and the king of Tyre, see onded the montion, and there was a meeting called and an organization effected and Solomon was elected worshipful master, and Huram Adiff Junior warden. By what name it was called at that remote period of time I can't say, but at present the order is known ns the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons Instituted now about 3000 years ago, which wiil exist to the remost period of time. It Saves You Money.

Each 50 cent bottle (Mr. J. G. Hall sells it for 25c) contains sixty doses of a medicine tbat is pleasant to take and which can be depended upon to cure the worst case of constipation, dyspepsia or liver trouble. Mr.

J. G. Hall has so much faith in the superior merit of this maflicine that ho says: "If Dr. Howard's specific does not cure you, come back to my stora and I will return your money." This remedy is not an ordinary medicine. It is the favorite formula of a well known physician, and haa the endorsement of hundreds of physicians of eminence in their profession, who prescribe it in all cases of constipation, dyspepsia or liver trouble, knowing from experience that if will make a complete and lasting care.
