The late meeting here proved a success, the church reviyed, and many new members were added to the church. We are glad to hear from Timid Girl again as she writes such nice items. Do not wait so long before you write again. Messrs. T.

J. Crews and son.of Dur ham: J. R. Benn, of Hargrove; Geo Bobbitt and wife, of Fishing Creek, visited Mr. J.

B. Newton's hen house Saturday night and deprived him of eight chickens. Not being satisfied went back Sunday night and relieved him of 12 more.

Sold by G. HftJl, druggist, Oxford, N. C. Asleep In Jesns, Mr. Daniel Terry Gooch died at the ripe old age of 88 years, 1 month and 18 days.

He tfas born August 7, 1807. Mr. Gooch was one of Gran ville's oldest citizens, born and rear ed near Oxford. In his youthful days he was married to Miss Nancy Hester, the only daughter of Mr. Robert Hester, after which he started out in life full of youthful vigor, and comparatively no troubles to mar his happiness.

He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for more than half a was one of its regular attendants as lpng as his health would permit, performed with cheerfulness and patience every christian duty involved upon him. His usual kind disposition and hospitable manners won for him a host of friends. He was a kind neighbor, a loviner father and a trustworthy and beloved citi zen. His hand of love and sympathy was eyer extended to the poor and needy. It was one of the many pleasures he delighted in to contribute to the Lord's treasury of the means which God had given him.

Several years previous to his death his afflictions were many and severe. Eighteen months before his death his health was declining so rapidly he thought it best to leave his old home and eo and live with his daughter, Mrs. Sarah H. Cheatham. During his stay there he became conscious that his end was fast approaching, and freqaently spoke of his future hopes, and looked forward with delight to the day when he should be clasped into the arms of his angel wife neyer to be severed again, and be surrounded by the six dear children rejoicing and singing praises to the blessed Redeemer.

Through seyere afflictions his hopes grew brighter, and like Paul he could realize that "our light afflictions which are for a moment, work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of though he was old and infirm and his hearing dull, it was a source of comfort and pleasure to him to have the company of preachers and to hear them sing and pray and read the Bible, and always listened, with an eargerness that seemed to be his soul's delight. He, as we believe, is infinitely happier than we. He leaves two children, one son, one daughter and a number of grand children to mourn his loss. In his death they sustained the loss of an affectionate father and a kind-hearted, sympathetic grandparent. He was laid to rest in the family burying ground beside his loviner wife where a number of his children repose.

"Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely best No fear, no woe, shall dim the hour That manliest the Savior's power. A Friend. SURVEYING.
