forward their work. The

does not augur well for the man's
integrity who permits so many duns

Observe this please.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Whichard
request that we return their sincere
thanks to the people of Greenville
for kindness and attention during
the recent sickness and death of
their son, James A. Whichard. If
there is any earthly power that can
lessen grief when hearts
are torn asunder and their loved
ones taken away in the icy clutches
of death, it is in the ministry of
kind, sympathetic friends.
Appreciated.
One of the inducements held out
to me to accept a pastorate in
Greenville was the great kindness
and hospitality for which its people
are noted. As an illustration I beg
leave to record that on three
since recent-
on the return of my family from
Virginia, have the people of my
congregation united in bringing to
the parsonage a voluntary offering
of things varied, substantial and
valuable. Last May they paid my
expenses to the Southern Baptist
Convention in Richmond, and re-
to the State Convention in
Greensboro. thoughtful kind-
is appreciated. It sweetens
labor and binds heart to my

Tho of Death.
Pleasures are so transitory,
joys arc so soon turned into sorrow.
Life is so made of
rejoice to day and to-morrow we
mourn. Last week was never
to be forgotten Greenville. Four
family circles were broken in almost
the same day and there were few
faces to be seen that did bear
traces of sorrow and grief. From
one home the prattling babe was
taken, from one just tarn
from youth to the strength of
manhood, from another the devoted
mother and wife, and another
a fond husband and father.
On the 14th at
two o'clock P. M- Mr. William H.
Home departed this after an ill
of about ten days
He years old and one of our
best citizens. Mr. Home was once
Mayor of Greenville and several
years has been a Justice of the
Peace. His were interred
in Cherry Hill Cemetery- on Thurs-
day, the funeral services being con-
ducted by Rev. It. B. John, pastor
of the Methodist Church of which
deceased was a faithful member.
A wife and tour small children are
left to mourn their loss.
eleven o'clock Thursday morn-
Mrs. E. L. of
Dr. C. J. died. Deceased
was her 54th year and had been
sick but a few days. She was a
consistent and zealous member of
the Baptist Church and was one of
the most excellent ladies of our
town. In works of religion and
deeds of charity her life abounded
and no member labored more
than she to advance the inter-
of her church and the of
her Master. A true woman,
a devoted wile, a most affectionate
and loving mother, a sincere friend,
her loss will be keenly felt the
church community. A husband
and son survive her. On Saturday
morning her remains were laid to
test in the Baptist burial ground
by the side of the church she loved
so well services were conduct-
ed by Rev. J.
Thursday afternoon little Garland
one year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R.
A. Tyson, died very suddenly. The
little fellow had been sick and was
thought to be improving, but when
some medicine was being given it
caught its breath and never breath
ed again and could not be restored.
The mother was almost, frantic with
grief at the sudden and unexpected
death. The remains were interred
in Cherry Hill Cemetery Friday,
Rev. R. B. John conducting the
services.
Thursday, evening a few minutes
past seven o'clock, Mr. James A.
Whichard, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
R. Whichard, of township,
died at the residence of Mrs. V. H.
Whichard in this town. He was
years old and was a young man of
brightest promise. He was honest,
manly and upright in all things and
his life was pure and above reproach.
To his parents he was ever dutiful
and submissive, to his brothers and
sister, he was kind and affectionate,
and to Ms friends true and sincere.
His manliness and integrity of char
won for him the esteem and
admiration of all our people. To
the writer he was dear, for
apart from the ties of relationship
that bound he had been with us
in the office for several
months and stood faithfully by us
under all circumstances, it matters
not how trying. For us he
truest devotion and his death
is indeed painful. His memory
will ever blessed. The remains
were taken to the family grave-
yard at the home of his parents and
interred on Friday afternoon His
coffin and grave were covered with
floral tributes from Greenville In-
of which he was last session
r. pupil, from numerous friends
in Greenville.
On Saturday Mr. Amos Evans
died at bis homo two miles South-
west of Greenville. He was about
years of age and was a highly es-
teemed and worthy citizen of the
comity.
Besides the deaths occurring in
our own community last week, a tel-
was received by relatives
here announcing the death of Mrs.
Laura Johnston, wife of Mr. C. H.
Johnston, near Tarboro. Mr. John
once lived here his many
friends with him in bis
loss.
With all the bereaved the
deeply and truly
May He, whose hand has
directed these afflictions, st
and sustain the sorrowing ones.

eon with Surgeon H. W.
he said he joined bis ship, the
at San Francisco, Cal., in May,
1885, and sailed in her through the
den Gate the following month for an ex-
tensive cruise in the South Pacific, which
lasted over three years. His supply of
information shows that he has been a
close observer of the customs habits
of the Polynesians. As a surgeon, ho
was brought more intimately in contact
with them Hum others, and had the op-
of becoming personally ac-
with many of strange
and ho says some of bis best
friends have been formed among those
people. Ono of the most curious and in-
customs he told your
dent of was that of drinking a long
tho inhabitants of the of
islands. He spoke very highly of , hose
people, and said they were tho finest race
of people ho had tho men being of
largo and almost perfect physique,
metrically proportioned, with straight,
coarse black hair and a rich brownish
color. Ho also said tho women were
even more attractive than tho men, be-
cause of their mild manners, kind and
happy expositions.
Tho custom of making, and the form-
of drinking the as related
by tho surgeon, was intensely
and will news to all readers,
ho said, was a vegetable growth that
grew m abundance on the islands belong-
to tho family, and from tho
roots of this plant they made their
drink of by chewing tho
root until it was well masticated, then
placing it in a wooden basin which they
made for tho purpose, and with
water, it was ready to be Served out. Ho
said the first thought of this is always
repulsive to a white man, and he
invariably refuses to drink of it when
to him, but if he slays in the
islands long his prejudice is sure to be
overcome, and it is not a great while be-
fore ho becomes a convert is fond of

thoroughly wash out her mouth with
water in presence of all the assembled
guests, and would then her graceful
person, a la Turk, upon a mat spread on
the Boor, and chew and chew, all in one
mouthful, until a sufficient quantity
would be ready. The hands, in tho
meantime, having been also washed,
should receive the bolus, and with a
graceful motion dash it into the bowl,
made e-f wood, in the shape cf a tin wash
basin with four short feel, when the
water would added and the

according to the dictation of an old chief,

beauty, presides at bowl,

A custom most closely to this
peculiar habit, continued tho doctor, is
that of eating by tho natives of tho
