PH I Los. July i8lh, 1887. Jottings from McColl. Captain Loch. McLaurin und Mrs. Luther McLaurin have ?one to Ked Springs to spond several weeks. Wc hope their visit will prove beneficial as well ns pleasant. ' \ Nina, tho infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vance Bristow, continues very sick; though wo have just been informed that thc Dr. (Dr Hamer) thinks thero is an improvement. Misses Bozie Gibson, Mollie A. Mc Laurin and Mollio Gibson have gono to visit Miss J espie Kirkwood, near Ben uettsville.

S McAl lister leaving his present charge for a now field of - labor. For a long while, during summer's heat and winter's cold, this pious "man of God" has conscien tiously ministe i ed to our spiritual wel fare, and his ?'cu:'d, courteous nature his c. do < rc a him lo the hearts of many with whom ho carno in contact.

As elsewhere, wc arc sadly in need of rain, which wo trust will soon descend in copious, refreshing showers. As the "Trio" havo made themselves rather ".sen ree" at MeGoll recently, wo opine that fear of the measles was tho cause. No danger now at nil, gentle<* men; tho only contagious disease existing in McColl is heart disease (of a peculiar nature), bor further iniormntion soe our resident physician. Thc comfort of tho traveling public would be greatly enhanced, ii the cou ll uct ors on some other roads were as uni formly polito and attentive ns arc those on tho (-apo Foal" and Yadkin Valley 'Railroad.

Our town has been flooded with whortlobcrries, and tho truokslers aro rolling in their watermelons by tho wagon load. Mr. Edmund Gibson has the finest melons seen this season , he is furnish ing thc town gratuitously ; his lund big heart would not know how to charge a neighbor for a melon or bas ket of fruit. Mrs. James H. Frizoll returned this morning from Carthage, N. C., where she has been visiting relatives and iriends for some time. Quite a number of families from thc St. John's neighborhood "picknicked" at tho Spring near Lauriiiburg Thurs day-a pleasant and enjoyable time is reported. AVe can boast of a regular Grain Reaper in our section. Mr. Henry C. Northam bas cut with an ordinary "grain cradle," this season seventy-five acres of small grain-averaging over four acres per day during the entire harvest. Thc execution ot Archie Martin, the murderer of McNeill, took place at Rockingham, Tuesday 12th inst. A tremendous crowd was present and i some of. them don't know until I ii is day, whether the Sheriff hanged Arch? ie or Archie hanged ike Sheriff. The protracted meetings, a r o in vogue again. Smyrna closed to-day ; Bethel begins Sunday. The Boykin meeting embraces the fifth Sunday in July. J. P. Gibson will open School at Boykin the 8th of August. lie has succeeded in getting a fine school over fifty pupils having promised to attend. One of our good ladies just over the "line" purchased one ol' Wnddill's "Cotice Pots." The water boiled ; breakfast ready ; all anxious to sania pie the new article; the good wife poured out a cup full for TOM ; he was thinking of thc aromatic draught the Agent had described; but lo, and be hold, no coffee had been put in the sack and the water was clear and un colored. TOM in his quiet unassuming manner remarked that "Mr, Waddill did not say that it would save all the coffee, but that it would take just a little. Of eour.se the eolfce had been overlooked.

Waddill, of your town, as book keeper and cotton buyer. Lee is a good trader, genial and clever, timi 1 feel sure that Mr. Waddill will not regret his selection. Our District Conference convenes nt Maxton, embracing the -1th Sunday in this month. Can't you run over ? STATIC LIM;. Gibson's Station, N. C., July 16, '87 Death the Reaper cuts down the little girl, and then tho aged mother is called from time to eternity. Last Friday. July 15th, the Mille daughter and oldest child of Mr. Willie Odom, died of typhoid fever, making 10 mem bers of that family which have .ied of the same disease within tho last two years. Ml?. KI.lZAliKTll LILKS. This highly esteemed and christ.] ti lady passed from thu troubles of tinto into tho blissful realities of a heavenly rest, last Saturday evening, Joh Kith, at six o'clock. Had she lived until her next birthday sho would have been 80 years old. She waft tho widow ol' Holden W. Liles, who died 29 years ago, and tho daughter of Mr. Janies Stubbs-having been born and reared at tho family homestead, and having since lived there all her life, she was identified with the many cnango sof two generations, Fail) in life she connected herself with the peo ple of God; was baptised into thc fellowship of Bruton'.s Fork Baptist church prior to her marriage, and has ever since remained a true anti devoted follower of Christ and a strong and firm fVieild and advocate of the church and tho principles of christianity. Sho had been in feeble health for some time ami her death while sudden was not unexpected. Rev. J. A. W. Thomas, her faithful and devoted pastor, conducted her funeral services in the Bruton's Fork church. The crowded house and church yard was evidence of the high esteem she had in the hearts of the people both white and black. The preacher, though feeble and emaciated, delivered an instruct ive and interesting sermon from tho text, 25th verse and 11th chapter of John, "Jesus said unto her 1 am the resurrection and thc life, he that be licveth in mo though ho were dead, yet shall1 lie live." Ai thc close of tho sermon 'tho tybie preacher and faithful ip un ol'God was so thoroughly broken down nod over come with heat, thal he had to recline on (he sofa and bc funned and '.aitbed with cold waler tu prevent fainting. Ile was carried to tho residence ol' -Mr. J times S. Liles, where the cool sitado and fresh water su flick'uti y revived to allow his return linnie in the eve ning. Rev. U. N. Pratt assisted him in the services. A good and true woman has died, leaving several children, grand and great grand children, to mourn her loss. Wc all feel that "Aunt Betsey" is now at rest. While she cannot nd? viso and counsel us any more on ear!li y?t tho retnembrauce of her pious life 'will give us encouragement in the strong battles of lile. STATU LINK. July 18, J887.
