Etta Jane, June 11.—We learn that in a certain section of our county lately a crowd, mostly of negro ;, made night hideous with their brawl ing, boisterous conduct and by shcxit- ing firearms on the public highway. We have given the colored people of our community credit for better be havior; in fact we have held them up as patterns for some white people to go by. But if these complaints are properly brought before a court de termined to put down lawlessness, and the charges are verified with proper evidence, several acceptable recruits will be added to the county chaingang. Mrs. Laura T. Estes is visiting her daughter, Mrs Lizzie Mitchell, of Hopewell. People who have cut their wheat say it is good—generally four grains to the mesh. Other crops are good where people have had the chance to keep them worked out. It has been a very good year to work a crop, not too much rain, neither too much dry weather. Mr. J. Farrow Wright, who, we hoped, had been successfully treated for cancer last year, we are very sor ry to learn feels symptoms of his trouble returning Mr. Wright has been suffering for about twelve years with cancer, and he thinks all of the roots haven’t been removed. He ex pects to undergo another course of treatment next month, which we hope will be entirely successful. By private letter from a dear rela tive and friend in Blackstocks, we learn that on the 25th of May the historic church of Hopewell (A. R. Presbyterian) celebrated the 25th an niversary of the pastorate of Rev. John A. White. Among other things the writer said, “Hopewell is a re markable church. Nothing but death parts her and her pastors ami she has always paid her pastors in full, as well as all extra assessments. She Miss Amanda Bratton Succumbs to a Lingering Illness. Etta Jane, June 10.—On last Wed nesday evening as the western slopes were being flooded in the resplendent beauties of a golden sunset and the gray twilight was closing out the orb of day, while from the wooded hills came the first song of the night birds to sing a lullaby that was soon to carry all nature to the land of dreams and slumber—amid these scenes the life and all that was mortal of Miss Amanda Bratton went out in death, and her spirit took its flight to un known regions. While the end was not unexpected, yet it was a great shock and cast a gloom over all. For ten long weeks she had been a constant sufferer from a complication of diseases, yet she bore up with Christian fortitude and did not murmur at the hand of af fliction. She fought the battle for life well at first and it was thought she would win the victory. But this terri- able monster v'ho knows no defeat kept on till she finally succumbed to his icy touch. So w’hen, with her, the last battle is fought, the last victory won, she is now laid down to the calm and peaceful sleep of death from which no sleeper has ever been aroused. The interment t<x>k place this evening in Abingdon Creek cemtery and was attended by a large con course of friends and relatives. At the grave the service consisted of the hymn, “1 am going home to die no more,” reading of the 90th Psalm, prayer, and the hymn, “Nearer, my God, to thee,” at the conclusion of which the body w’as tenderly borne to the grave. The following w r ere the pall bear ers: W. G. and J. H. Fowler, N. J. and C. H. Blackwell, H. T. Estes and Sam J Strain. The mound was covered with beau tiful flowers in token of the high es teem in which she w-as held. “Thou no more shalt join our number. Thou no more our song shall know, For w’e have laid thee in the peace ful grave so low.” S. J. S. THROUGHOUT THE BLACKSBURG BUDGET. RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE NORTH CAROLINA.

Allison, Cowpens are scattered around preaching the gospel elsewhere.” Not only does the church hold its pastors until death parts them, but in its cemetery rests the dust of each of them. Of each and his work —what they have done for the world at large during the last century and a quarter we would bo glad to speak in order to show what an ideal church and congregation Hop< well is and has always been. Some of our readers will perhaps remember what we said of our visit to Hopewell and its cemetery nearly five years ago. Anything we might say now would perhaps be of interest to hundreds of our readers in this and other. States, whose ancestors worshipped at or received their relig ious training at this grand old Bethel. Its first pastor, Rev. John Boyse (now spelled Boyce), began preaching there in 1788. He died in 1793. On his tombstone we find this unique inscription: “The Rev. John Boyse, A. B., minister of the Gospel in Hope- well, Coddle creek, Gilead and Pros perity congregations. Died March 18, 1793, aged 35 years. He w r as a con cise, warm, evangelical preacher, a sincere Christian, an affectionate rel ative, an agreeable, liberal and steady friend. “How loved, how valued once, avails thee not; To whom related, or by whom begot: A heap of dust remains alone of thee; Tis all thou art and all the proud shall be. Lector memento, tibi moriendum est.” The other ministers were Rev. John Hemphill, D. D„ pastor from the 19th of September, 1790, until 20th of May, 1832. On his tombstone is this inscription: “Sacred to the memory of The Rev. John Hemphill. I). I)!, who died the 20th of May, 1832, in the 71st year of his age, having been about 30 years pastor of the church near which he lies interred. “Blessed are the dead who die in the I.«ord.—xiv:13.” The nxt pastor was Rev. Warren Flenniken, who served from Novem ber. 1832, until the fall of 1894, when his failing health forced him to give up the active work of the ministry. The next pastor was Rev. Robert Wilson Brice, who served from tin* 31st of May, 1850, until the H»h of March, 1878, when death brought his labors to an end. Rev. Robert Wilson Brice was the father of Senator J. Steele Brice of Yorkville, and Mrs. J. P Knox, of Columbia. Rev. John A White assumed pas toral charge of the church in May, 1878, and has served it continuously and acceptably ever since. Some readers may feel little or no interest in this history, but if they will pardon your correspondent and believe him there is no place on earth besides our humble home and fireside for which we have such a profound reverence as we have for Hopewell and its com munity. It was there that we first saw the light of day and only there that we ever knew the value of a mother’s love. We don’t claim that that grand old church and communi ty are any the better for our having been bom and brought up in them, but we do claim that we are the bet ter for having been born in such a community.

Such astonishing cures have been made by this re markable remedy that the proprie tors have authorized Gaffney Drug Co. to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh. If It does not, the purchaser can have his money re funded by Gaffney Drug Co. Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passages, a balsamic air that destroys all ca tarrhal germs in the breathing or gans, enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes permanent and complete cures of ca tarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle oi Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be ob tained for 50 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies adver tised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her methods of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day and your catarrh is cured. That’s all. If not cured Gaffney Drug Co. will refund your money. The body of L. V. Harper, the Southern Railway brakeman who was instantly killed at High Point Thurs day afternoon, was taken to Spencer and turned over to an undertaker for burial. The body was horribly mangled, the worst of any seen there for years, by the thiry-four cars which passed over it. Young Harper, whose home was at Rocky Mount, was an exemplary young man and had been in the employ of the South ern only a short while. His remains were sent to Rocky Mount for inter ment. It is learned that the train on which he was working broke, letting him drop between the cars. Under distressing circumstances death came to Mr. Charles W. Lind say, about 35 years old and unmar ried. a travelling man of High Point, in the police station in Charlotte Sat urday afternoon at ten minutes of 4 o’clock Dr. F. O. Hawley, the city physician who attended Mr. Lindsay during the day. pronounced his death due to heart failure. Mr. Lindsay had been drinking heavily and was arrested and locked up for disor derly conduct. His condition became so serious that a physician was called in; but all efforts to save the unfort unate man were futile and he expired while sitting in a chair waiting to be taken to a hospital. Intelligence reached Charlotte Fri day afternoon of the tragic death of Mr. R. E. Riggers, of Mecklenburg county. The fatal occurrence hap pened at noon, when Mr. Riggers, who had been plowing with a mule, unhitched the animal and, mounting started to ride home. The mule be came frightened and Mr. Riggers, in trying to get off to control him, got his RxR caught in the chain traces and was dragged a long distance be fore the scared animal could be checked.

The first case was the city vsr. Barnes Kilgo, for disorderly conduct. Barnes failed to appear and his bond was forfeited. W. D. Thomas, for the same of- ense, was discharged. Then came the city vs. two dusky damsels, Addie Leech and Teenie Petty. They had been fighting with rocks, bottles, etc. Neither being bad ly hurt his honor required two dollars of Addie and one of Teenie. The city then charged E. H. Dur- derly conduct and put them on trial ham and Pryor Sprouse with disor- for that well-w’orn offence. But as it was apparent that one of South Car olina’s big men, “old man Chemically Pure.” was to blame for most of the trouble, they were let off with $2.50 each. The case vs. Chemically Pure w’as not called and it is not thought that he will be prosecuted. DYSPEPSIA REMEDY THAT CURES Ry- Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by dale’s Stomach Tablets. Mr. R. E.

C., writes under date of April 14, ’04. as follows: Last February, one year, while in New York on business for my house, I caught a severe cold which laid me up for several weeks and left me weak and nervous. I had little or no appetite, and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much Impaired. I decided to try Hydale’s Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend they were a g<x)d dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to realize that I was getting better. I gave up the doctor’s pre scription and have gained 20 pounds while using two boxes of these tab lets. I never felt better In my life, and accredit Ry dale’s Stomach Tab lets with having cured me. I can recommend them, most heartily, to sufferers from nervous Indigestion and general run-down conditions of the system. Gaffney Drug Co.
