Beloved Citizen and Prominent Edu. cator Dies in Baltimore. A telegram received here an nounces the death Monday at 10 o'clock at the Johns Hopkins hospital, in Baltimore, of Captain Daniel Ar rington, who for many years has been a beloved citizen and prominent edu cator of this city. Captain Arrington had been in dcclining health for the; past several months and last Feb ruary was forced to give up a posi tion he held as a teacher in Caswell county, owing to his illness. About two weeks ago he was taken to Bal timore in hopes of getting relief, but for the past several days his condi tion was known to have been critical and his death momentarily expected. His niece, Mrs. Bessie A. Cheatham, who accompanied him to Baltimore, was at the bedside when the end came. The intelligence of the death of Captain Arrington will bring sorrow to the hearts of many Danville peo ple, who remember with pride and affection this cultured and learned gentleman, who throughout the ,work ing years ,of his manhood made his home in this city. He was sixty-seven years of age and of distinguished English-ish ancestry. He was educated at the Emory and Henry' college and his magnificent mind was a storehouse of knowledge. While a very young man he was made profes sor of Greek and .higher mathematics at -the Newb.erry college, South Caro lina. He ;served with distinction throughout the Civil war and was the captain of an infantry company. In the middle eightie's he returned to Danville and embarked in the whole sale and retail mercantile business, the firm name being Arrington Broth ers. During recent years he return ed, however, to his former and natur al vocation of an educator, for which he was eminently fitted. Captain Ar rington in 1866 'marrie.d Miss Betty Redd Dillard, daughter of the late! Col. Hughes Dillard, of Franklin county. His only child, the result ofI this union, died in infancy. In profound grasp of the higher sciences and with his wonderful memory, Captain Arrington was eas ily one of the most accomplished scholars in Virginia. Although a man of modest and retiring nature, his advice and genius were often cnsulted and relied upon. He was firm and conscientious in his convic3 tions and loyal and true in the prin ciples and high ideals which govern ed his life. "His heart was of gold," and those who knew him best and in the most intimate relationship of life will ever honor his memory. He was a member of the Church of Epiphany. Captain Arrington is survived by his wife, Mrs. Betty Dillard Arring ton, of Danville, and two sisters, Mrs.I Nannie A. Patterson, of Rocky Mount,! and Mrs. Mattie J. Cooper, of this city. The remains arrived in Danville Monday night, and were taken to the residence of MYrs. Anna Arrington on Main street The funeral took place from Mrs. Arrington's yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was attended by a large number of friends and relatives of the deceased. The services were im-' pressively conducted by Rev. J. Cleve land Hall, rector of the Church of the Epiphany. The pall-bearers were: Judge A. M. Aiken, P. L. Grasty, Harry Wood ing, Dr. Poindexter, F. L. Douthat and W. P. Robinson. The honorary apl-bearer were: Messrs. C. G. Hol-' and, R. I. Smith, W. Y. Noell, R. A. James, J. F. Rison, Anderson Dou that, J. G. Friend, G. A. Myers, Johna M. Herndon and D. E. Graham. After the services at the house were concluded, the remains were borne to Green Hill cemetery, where they were laid to rest beneath a mound o'f beautiful fiowers.-Danville (Va.) Register, April 27. THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY. ; t The City Has Three Important Events t All at Once-All Sue. < cessfuL. Prosperity, May 2.-Prosperity has ( been in gala attire for the past three E days. Our homes and streets have I been filled of strangers and our < hearts with gladness and hospittality and our minds with a host of 4 thoughts worth the storing. Today the white heat of excitement has fad-li ed to the roseate hue of remembered joys and we are resuming the normal and finding time to tell our friends what pleasures have been ours re cently. On Friday at the twilight hour 4 parents ,and friends and children be gan gathering at the auditorium in order to hear Dr. Cromer's address and incidentally to learn who the successful contentants for the med als were. The school sang many bright, glad some, appropriate songs which were greatly enjoyed by all the listeners. The primary prize was awarded to Master Corday Counts. Honorable 1 mention being made of Nellie Wise, I Grady Bedenbaugh and Bertie Saner. The intermediate meadl was given to i Susan Quattlebaum. Caro Wycbe and Grace Sease were also excellent run- i ners in this race. The grammar i grades' medal was won by Ruby i Wheeler, with Susie Langford and Mary DeWalt Hunter as close sec onds. The high school medal for scholirship was very creditably won by Miss Grace Burton Reagin. The i essay medal given to the ninth grade i for excellence in this respect Was won by Mss Eun*- 1healey. The preseitations- of these .imonials of hard work were made by Dr..Crom-: er, Superintendent J. S. Wheeler, Dr. Wyche, Rev. Mr. Morris, Rev. Mr. Kreps. When Dr. Cromer comes to Pros4-1 perity, to use the words of Dr. Hunter, in introducing him, "Prosperity de- t lights to honor him." He is so well f and favorably known as a man and c also as a speaker that no heralds no glaring posters are necessary to, secure for 1.im a full house. Indeed, he always comes so brim full of in teresting information, anecdote, illus tration and quotation that we wish his coming were not such a' semi occasional happening. His timely subject was '.'Thoroughness." He gave excellent advice to parents, teachers, patrons, pupils, trustees and 2 all parties interested' in the public welfare and future of this common wealth. He plead for good, thorough foundation along character and edu cational lines and a better .under- ~ standing of the common, every day obje&ts with which' we are so famil iar, but about which we know so lit- ~ tle. He advocated the training of I eye-gate and heart-gate. and all the I other gates that tend towards the de velopment of well rounded, right hearted men 'and women. ' At the close of the exercises DT. Hunter 'announced .that the same number of medals' would be given ~ next year, with several ' additions, ~ may be, and that school won,Ud begin next September at the regular time.1 He also stated that this closed one of the most successful, harmonious ~ years in the school's history. ' The K. of P. conventiton. was a great success.. It seems that the pleasure was not all ours, for the delegates were' as much pleased with Prosperity as Prosperity wlas charm ed with them. A certain gentleman in high fraternal and literary circles said that without infringing ever so little upon the domain of flattery, he coud say that this was one of the1 most cultivated, most enlightened, and altogether desirable towns he has ever visited. On Saturday routine work pmi cipally was transacted at the two meetings. We shall not report these at length-not because we are not initiated (?) or a goat-rider (?) d but because we don't want to tell anys ales out of school In the evening at the auditorium s three well-worth-going-a-long-dis- ti ance-to-hear talks were made by 13~ Messrs. A. M. Deal, of Columbia; C. y D. Brown, of Abbeville, and Prof. Rmbrt, of Spartanburg. This gift- n d trio not only imparted Informa ion, but spiced it with foreefil illus ration and occasional jokes. EverY ne came away congratulating him elf or herself on having heard such dthy talks and having met such lever friendly knights. Such agree ble knights that tell such a tanta izing little and appear to be con ,ealing such desirable lots, thaty if le were a man we'd make haste to nter this charmed circle and apply or the post of Damon, (if such a ost there be). On Sunday afternoon the happy ,athering culminated with an address >y Prof. Rembert, grand chanceller :ommander of the'grand domain of outh Carolina and professor of "reek in Wofford college. This gentleman whose fame as -a peaker had been noised abroad, was ntroduced by Mr. A. H. Koln, Prof. embert talked long and earnestly on :he benefits, ideals, intentions, aims md results of fraternal organizations md endeavored to overcome an prejudice that might be existing Lgainst them. He said that the great work of fraternities and denomina ions is to unify, modify and purify ;ociety and that this grand, order, whose name even is suggestive, tands for the highest and best. I ,very phase of life, and it all the 'elations of mankind and, first, las: md always for the fatherhood of God 6nd the brotherhood of man. Dozens of knights. from nearby ;owns came in for these meetings - md enjoyed- them, and went away hey came. This is the hrst visit Of eeling that it was good for themthat his convention as a whole, and as In lividuals-In some cases-but we rust that ti same honor wil b iurs again in a time not so far away over the distant hills .of the future. The dedicatory service at Grace ,hurch yesterday morning was a ended by a large.and, as will be seen ater, enthusiastic, congregAtion., Ev iy member's face bore testimony to he just pride and the sweet satis action all entertain when we enter er contemplate the'new church which .11 visitors delight to compliment. The full choir rendered approp?iate ausic in a very proper and accepta le way that would have releated redit on a city choir. Dr. Scherer's sermon was a magnl [ent picture of the church from a - 3blica.l, Old' Testament viewpoint. -~ ls thoughts were clear cut, well ounded and appreciated. ,He .comn mared the Christian, the church to the. ree, the children of promise Lthronigh arah, and the rest of the world to \ -$ he children of Hagar. His' who!e iscourse. was most profound and >ertinent to this occasion. After the sermon Rev. Mr. Freed ~rose and said it gave eynod pleasure o dedicate and receive this, one of he most beautiful churches ein the tate, but that as there still hung' ver the church a. debt of $500 he pro osed to receive -pledges for the amount before the church could be roperly consecrated.' In a very short ime not only the $500fl but $725 gere asily and. cheerfully given. The de icatory services proper were then egun and impressed every one with ts beauty, thought and import. At he close of this the entire congrega ion rose and with one heart and oice united in singing Luther's most recious hymn: My church, my church, my dear old ~ church,' My father's and my own in prophets and apostles built. . And Christ the corner stone." Rev. Mr. Freed greatly edified the rge Sunday evening congregationt rith a most thoughtful, thought oro ucing sermon relative to oppo'tu~ .itie% and the embracing anid the . iaking the most of them.
