It is from ouo of Warren county's best ladies, known personally by many of our readers. It is a beautiful piece and breathes a beautiful sentiment. Let ub catch the spirit of this aged servant of God and learn how to grow old gracefully and beautifully: I have been reading The Constitution fox many yeara, but have never yet introduced myeelf to you; but as I am very very old, I come to offer greetings, congratulations and thanks for the good work you have done and are still doing for the youug folks.

We all owe you a debt of gratitude, and as I am a firm believer in manifest appreciation, I beg leave to thank you in behalf of the rising generation. Your work seems arduous to me, but you seem to bear the -jross meekly. You are making an investment (more valuable than in stocks and bonds) in human Uvea, whose influence for good will go out into other lives, living through all ages, and extending through all extent. I generally read all that pertains to your department of the paper, and often feel inclined to reply. I never fail to read Bill Arp; I admire his character very much, and don't believe he is half as lazy as he sometimes represents himself to be.

Sarge Plunkett is also very philosophical at times, and I would read him if it were not for that very unnecessary appendage, Brown. A gentleman asked me to write something for The Constitution. He said, "Surely, one so old, and yet reasonably good-natured and agreeable, might relate many incidents that would interest the younger people." But in this progressive age the young people care but little for the past; they live in the present, and the blight and beautiful future, and ignore the past. Now, about self: I made my advent in February, 1812. I had five sous in tbe confederate Bervice; two never returned.

I now have four sons and one daughter, all married and confortably situated, two in Franklin county and three in Warren county. I have a lot of amiable and accomplished granddaughters that is, according to my view of the situation); they are so good ana kind to me that they seem determined to make me happy deepite my weight of years. My home is with my youngest son, here at my old home; I am spending the winter. I read and write and make quilts, which are said to be very pretty and very artistic; and thus I entertain myself, and, believe me, it is not so bad to be old as some vould suppnse, it signifies a season of iv.j-t and lief from the the pecpi.rit:s,3 v.ml rpp. visibilities iiits jo Hi brings ax to that elegant ioisui thai irf so much by nil daring tbe years of life; and we have time to atreiid to raauj things antl to enjoy much which was once impossible; ind then we have sweet memories, cherished friendships, devotion of our children and grandchildren, and the respect of society, besides the opportunity (sometimes) of helping others by accumulated experience.

Being ever mindful of the uncertainty of this life, we commit ourselves and all our iffiirs to God's providence. Adieu, and may heaven bless you and all who are dear to you. Mrs. Rebecca P. Davis, Creek, Wairen County, North Carolina, to 'Aunt Susie," in Atlanta Constitution (Note.

We thank you for your letter; you give us a sweet tessou of content ment, peace and resignation: to God's will. Would that we could grow old so beautifully.

W. E. Carman, of Littleton. Mrs. Carman was a daughter of Mr.

B. R. Browning and as born in the town of Warrenton in June 1862. She leaves a husband and thiee children, two boys and one girl to mourn the great loss of wife and mother. Mrs.

Carman was a consistant member of the Baptist church. The Record extends its heartfelt sympathy. Death, of Mrs. Egertcn. Sister Regina wife of Henry T.

Egerton, was born Sept. 1866, and dppartmed this life Feby. 1899, being 32 years, i. months and 27 days of age. She leaves her husband aud five little children to mourn the loss of a precious wife and mother.

May there be, for them, upon the part of neighbors and friends, a sympathy which shall amount to more than words or sentiments. Sister Egerton connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal church South, when about 17 years of age. The God whom she humbly served for 16 years did not forsake her in the hour of death. In passing through the valley of death's shadow His rod and staff were her comfort aud stay. May husband and cbildreu, when summonsed, pass over in the same strength.

Miss Mamie Watson, undaunted by ba i roads and hillocks of snow, went to Henderson Monday. Mr. Trailer Smithwick and family were on the sick list for a long time, but are all up again. Mrs.

Sam Bobbit and daughter, Bessie, who have been quite sick, are now improving. Miss Lucie Reeks, who was snowed out on a visit elsewhere, has returned to her school in this district. All out door farm work has been at a stand still for several weeks; even the tobacco is, some days, too dry and crisp to be handled. We like "many others have had a cold experience since last we wrote. As our mail was cut off last week we suppose it will not be amiss now, though late, to say it snowed, oh I it snowed here Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

It was beuuliful but oh! so teribla too. It was something over eighteen inches rle on a level and in many places banked as high as the fence. The provideut had plenty of wood to keep all but some were out and had to haul du ring the extreme cold. The dumb crea tures were the greatest sufferos here Many of the domestic fowls and little birds died or were badly injured. We feel especially thankful that there was no intense suffering among the people in our immediate neighborhood aud so glad to hear that those who could, did help tbe needy in our neighboring towns and cities.
