$80,000 In Strawberries. t
Wilmington Stur, 23rd. ^
Tuesday's shipments of straw. 11
berries through South llocky c'
Mount were the heaviest of the
season, having amounted to 77 re P
frigerator cars of 300 crates each
and 1,900 crates by Southern Express,
making a grand total of 1'
25,000 crates or 800,000 quarts. K
The enormous shipment gives a I
fair idea of the value of strawberry
growing to this section. If 11
the shipments of Tuesday alone 1
net ten cents per quart to the growers,
$s0,000 will come to 1
this section as the result. 1

and arranged a kind of secret trap c
gun, using an old time horse pis- r
tol, and had it so arranged that
'I
when the money drawer was opened
the gun would be discharged.
Mr. Matthews had occasion to ^
open the drawer himself early ^
Tuesday morning, having forgotten
all about his trap, and receiv- ^
cd the load in his left fore arm,
producing a painful tlesh wound.

Plio Farewe'l Ser\ ice to ltev, Mr.

The inclement weather of Sun '

After devotional exercises, the
arvice was begun with an adrcss
by Itcv. Chalmers Fraser
n "Christian Fellowship." Ho
as followed by ltev. W. H.
lodges whose subject was "The
hristian Minister." Then came
?r. Boldridge whose subject was
The Pastor." In their talks the
ustors each eulogized Mr. Ewart
cry highly and to their every
ord of praise a silent responsive
lien went out from the hearts of
ich auditor. At the conclusion
f Dr. Bold ridge's address, Rev.
[r. Ewart aroso and in a feeling
?ply oxpressed the genuine gratude
of his heart for the many
indnesses and courtesies he had
iceived during his stay here not
ily from the pastors of the difrent
denominations butfrom the
immunity at laage, specially
entioning tlio merchants, lawjrs
and physicians. The screes
were interspersed with singg
of appropriate hymns and af-.
r an earnest orayor by Rev. Mr.
raser were closed with the song
God be with you till we meet
p\in," after which many of the
>ngregation who did not expect
i have another opportunity of
tying good bye before his de
xrture for his new field ot labor,
ithccd about the pulpit and
ith a hand shake, as expressive a
: the sadness of heart as the
ords uttered, spoko the sad
ords to this popular minister
id godly man. Truly the reret
at his departure is universal
i this community. Death alone ^
