The Atlantic Coast Line will build a handsome new freight, depot here on the vacant lots of the company between Second and Third streets. The old depot is inadequate to the immense volume of business handled here by the road and besides is antiquated and has served its day and time. The new depot will be a commodious and imposing structure of brick with granite trimmings and ill be in keeping with the progress of the town. Just Watch Weldon's Way, for she "sho' is a comin'." Little Febby. January gave us a slight covering of the beauii-i ful snow as it took its departure and Februaryi as usual, came wilh a promise of hardi wimer W'eather.

There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inllamed condition ofthe mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tulie is inllamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, nd unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will lie destroyed forever; nine case out of leu are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollar for any case of Deafneso (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

I 1 the air and exclaiming, "Hurrah for we Methodists." The service was opened with "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," by choir and congregation. This was followed by fervent invocation by Mr. J. B. Tilghman.

Next came that soul stirring hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." Offertory, "Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet," quartette, Mrs. Johnson, soprano; Miss Pierce, contralto; Mr. Sledge, bass; Mr. Stainback, tenor; Miss Musgrove, organist. The principal feature was the reading of the splendid paper on early Methodism in Weldon, prepared by Mrs.

Ida T. Wilkins. This paper was read by Dr. D. B.

Zollicoffer for Mrs. Wilkins. Dr. Zollicoffer said that he felt that a vote of thanks should be given Mrs. Wilkins for this fine paper and that she be requested to continue it from the year 1881 up to the present time.

This suggestion was carried out by a rising vote. Mrs. Wilkins' paper is published in full on the editorial page, and we most earnestly commend its perusal to all who did not have the pleasure of hearing it read Sunday night. Next followed a recitation by Miss Kaie Tilghman, "The Old Church for Sale," a poem recently published in these columns. Miss Tilghman recited the little poem in a feeling and attractive manner and all present saw how appropriately it fitted into a service which was really held in honor of the splendid success of the congrega-tian in raising money to build a handsome new church.

Owing to the absence of Mr. W. A. Pierce, who was to have spoken on "the present status of Methodism in Weldon," this number on the program was omitted. It was much regretted by all, as Mr.

Pierce is a most interesting speaker and the congregation felt thu his absence Sunday night was a loss to all present. Rev. P. N. Stainback spoke on "The Future of Methodism in Weldon He made a splendid adJress and his remarks greatly encouraged all who heard him.

He spokg of future of Metho. djsm jn Weldon as being very ht nnrt said new churcn would be built this good year. The Methodist Church, he said, was attractive to many on account of the simplicity of its doctrine, and appealed to a large number of people on account of its teachings of "justification by He told of its great power for good in the community and spoke feelingly of the fraternal feeling existing in Weldon among people of all denominations. Mr. Mercer then read the list of subscribers to the new church fund, the total amount being $15,070.

At the conclusion of the "roll call" and some cheerful remarks by the pastor, on motion of Dr. D. B. Zollicotfer Mr. Mercer was given a rising vote ot tnanns tor his interest in the work and in the people of Weldon.

He was also secretary and treasurer of the Weldon Lumber Company and a member of the Commonwealth and Deep Run Hunt clubs. In April, 1896, Captain Shepherd was married to Miss Percy Bradley, ot Charles City county, who with five small children, survives him. He also leaves a brother, W. T. Shepherd, of this city.

For the past few years he has resided at Dumbarton, in Henrico county, and was a member of Emanuel Episcopal Church, from which he will be buried tomorrow I 1 1(1 m. her Pnmmnv Mr -Nhenlipni was well known here and was to have attended the regular annual meet- of the stockholders of the com- paTtyjast I hursuay, the very day he was1 taken to the hospital and operated upon for sinitis. He was a first cousin of Mr. J. L.

Shepherd, of Weldon, who is general manager of the Weldon Lumber Company. Mr. Shepherd is much grieved at the loss of his partner and kinsman and was in Richmond Monday to attend the funeral. He also spent Saturday in Richmond and was at the bedside of his cousin in his last hours upon earth. The death of this honored citizen is a loss to Weldon as well as to Richmond, for he was frequently in our midst and his large business interests here him one of us.

To his bereaved family in their affliction we extend our sincerest sympathy. Halifax Superior Court. The January term of Halifax Superior court convened Monday with Judge George H.

Judge Ward is holding his first Halifax court and fdjr and impartial rulings he i has made a tine impression upon the members of the bar and the public generally.

Judge Ward did not deal in unnecessary words in his excellent charge to the grand jury, but clear ly and forcibly he impressed upon them the duties they would have to perform and never before in the history of the county has the court been able to accomplish more work on a first day of court than was threshed out at Halifax Monday.
