An entertainment for the benefit of the Methodist parsonage was , given at the Sturgeon hotel Friday evening. A number of musical selections were rendered and several re- < I citations given. The recitations of ( Mrs W ? Severance and Misses Ruth Williamson and Jackie Rodgers ; were specially mentioned. Either the writer or the printer , made a mistake in saying last week ; that the Southeast Baptist Association will meet on November 7th. The correct date i 8 the 10th. , Messrs Walter B Poston and J T Lverly of Prospect were in town I Thursday on business. 1 j Messrs J E and J L McFaddin of Cades were noted in town Saturday.

Miss Annie Sutcliffe left Monday mVht for New York. She will re n - turn about Christmas. It might be well to call the attention of the electors of Williamsburg again to the two constitutional amendments they will vote upon next week. One is to provide for biennial sessions. The other has for its object the giving of authority to the General Assembly to enact special or local laws with regard to road working, so that each county may have just such a road law as it wants without regard to the other sections of the State. ,, These are very important. measures?the most important, safar as our State is coucerned, that this election will decide. Thej deserve far more serious consideration than the election of auy man or set j of men. When we are abofit to lay our hands upon the gheat fnndamen-v tal law of the land, the constitution, that instrument whicfc* stands between civilization and anarchy, be- j ?J? ... J -I ; tweeu orurr uuu uaous, wuuuu, uwjj i earnest thought should precede our : jevery ballot. . Every voter, who is i not already kiformed upon these sub-1 jecta, should get himself informed j and thoroughly in-forraed before November 8th, and cast his ballot as his best judgment, guided by an unfaltering desire to do that which is best for our' commonwealth, shall direct," Yon will vote only "yes" or "no", but these two little words are fraught with fearful j power?power that may work for good or that may wor k for tremendous evil. The tirst mentioned of these amendments is ! the most perilous. Think well and i vote as freemen. Rev Mr Bailey preached at the Prei i . i V'C o r. il a;; >d oz page 3} Death of Mr. B F. Brockinton, Sr; Dock, Oct. 30:?Our commnnit was saddened early Friday morniiij when the death angel visited ou midst and took one of our best men Mr Benjamin Franklin Brockinton Sr. All that medical skill and kini hands could do wa9 done to stay th hand of death, but to no avail. On Friday morning he drew th draDerv of his couch around him am lay down, as it were, to pleasan dreams, while his gentle spirit wa wafted over the silent river of deatl and into the celestial city to be-wit! the God who gave it. It is useless for me to try to de scribe the life of our departed friend Suffice to say that he was a man o God. As a man he was kind ant gentle and sweet-tempered to ever body alike, especially in his home It seemed to be his greatest deligh to have his home filled with hi friends. In his death the Black Ming Baptist church has lost one of it strongest pillais. .Mr Brockinton was twice murried first to Miss Sarah Cooper, who afte i long and happy married life will her devoted husband, died and lei him with eleven children, five boy and six girls. A few years later hi married Mrs Mag Sian,- who witl two children survives him. On Saturday. morning a larg crowd of sorrowing friends aud rel utii-oa usspmhlpfl at the old Belii church to pay the last tribute of re spect to the departed friend am loved one. Rev Mr Wilder, as-isted by lie S T Russell, conducted the funers services. This was the most solemi funeial service that the writer ha ever witnessed; a great hush seenie to prevail during the sad hour. ? Franklin Brockinton is no mor and never will we see his like again Safe in the arms if Jesus; Safe 011 his gentle breast; There by his -love over shadowet Sweetly his soul shall rest. W HIPPOORWILL.
