that they are fully abreast of the

pass for making known the
advantages that the r city and bus-
offers. One of chief at-
tractions of Albany is the excel-
lent character of its water. It is
known as the
there being no less than nine flue
artesian wells here, with another
being dug And two or three of
these wells are highly
for the valuable medical prop-
of water. Chief of
these is the city well, which is
prized on account of its tine
mineral water. I followed the
universal custom, and drank the
water as it flowed from this well,
hut most confess it does
at all come up to my ideas of what
is good tasted water. It leaves
an impression on one that is not
soon forgotten. I almost shudder
now at the first

it. But, like the Georgia sugar
cane, this water improves some
what upon acquaintance, and I
can now drink it with a little bet-
grace and a smoother face than
when I first attempted it. There
six places of worship here, the
Baptist Methodist, Episcopal,
Presbyterian and Catholic church-
es, and a Jewish Synagogue, so
that all who wish may worship
their God in the manner which is
most acceptable to them.
Baptists are the leading
nation, and number among their
members some of the most
citizens of the town. Rev.
E. E. Folk, pastor of the Baptist
church is one of the most eloquent
and prominent young divines in
the South. I don't think I have

There have a few cold snaps,

What of Greenville
Other towns the
State are holding public meet-
for the purpose of
plans and taking steps to es-
enterprises and
tries that tend to up their
community and increase the
trade. In every case good re-
will follow such action.
Why not Greenville be doing
something in this direction
Can the men of the town,
the property owners, afford to
see the business and enterprise
of Greenville remain at a stand-
still We think not. Other
towns are reaching
trade and are endeavoring to ex-
tend their influence, and this
town must do likewise or be left
in the race. No laggard ever
achieve much success. If our
people remain in the old time
ruts, waiting for trade and pat-
to pour into their laps
unsolicited, other towns will
step in and take off that to which
we are entitled. A few
now to the business men
What are you doing to attract
people to Greenville What are
you doing to bring new trade
here What efforts are you
making to hold the trade already
here against the of
other towns What are you do-
for the general development
of the town Ponder over these
questions and give yourselves
honest examination upon them.
Union and concert, of action is
what we need, all working for
the common good of the town
and community. Adopt this
spirit and yon will see Green-
ville make more rapid strides in
improvements that ever before.
We believe in a live
progressive this can
be made such if the business
men exert themselves.

m OBITUARY.
Died at lite home in Greenville. Thurs-
day, January 26th 1888, at six o'clock P.
M., Marcellus Moore in the 53rd year of
his age. Deceased wag the eldest child
of William and Moore Pow-
of Greene county. North Carolina.
He received such academic education as
the educational facilities of this
country afforded in his youth. He was
possessed of greet natural strength of
mind and coupled with a
warm heart and genial disposition, made
him a favorite with his school
mates. At an age he acquired a
fondness for reading and study which las-
him through life. There were few-
minds stored with so large a fund of gen-
information Endowed with a
tenacious memory, and acute perceptive
faculties, with thoughts and words at
ready command, he was at once a fine con
and easy expressive writer.
He embarked in the mercantile business
while quite a youth, and was eminently
successful. He had but to turn the giant
powers of his mind and body upon any
one pursuit and success was assured. For
many years he was one of the mos
merchants of Greenville, and a
leading business man of Pitt county.
From 1875 to 1879 he was a member of
the firm of Hilliard Moore, commission
merchants, Norfolk, Va., and from 1881
to his death the senior member of the
of Moore Fitzpatrick, Baltimore, Md.
married January 24th 1868, Sarah
Emily Higgs. of Halifax county North
Carolina, who preceded him to the grave
1880. Their marriage was
blessed three children, Mary Bruce,
Helen Stuart and William Wallace all of
whom survive their father and now
Never was there a more faithful and
devoted husband than Moore,
never a more loving and tender father.
His profound love for children was
one of the most charming traits of his
character. To make home happy was
chiefest among the objects of his life. He
was fond accumulating wealth but
when wife or child called upon him his
generosity knew no bounds. In the death
of Mr. Moore the writer has lost a valued
friend and sustained a grievous personal
bereavement, and to his loving children,
burdened with sorrow and grief my heart
felt sympathies are extended.

the devoted parents, but God so
willed, and on Thursday afternoon,
at o'clock, a large number of
rowing friends of the family fol-
lowed the little coffin to Cherry
Hill Cemetery and saw it lower-
ed into the cold dark grave. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. R. B. John.
After returning
scarce three hours bad elapsed
ere it was whispered from home
to home, just at the close of
day, that the spirit of Mr. Marcel-
Moore had taken its flight
he, too, was numbered with the
dead. And on Friday afternoon
at o'clock his body was taken to
Cherry Hill, being followed by a
number of our citizens, and
placed beside the wife who a few
years ago preceded him. The pall
bearers were Messrs. J. B. Cherry,
U A. Button, A C. Nobles, Al-
Forbes, W. M. King, J. J.

parents were looking with pride
to her future. But how suddenly
are our brightest hopes thrust as

sorrow to many hearts for she was
a favorite with nearly every one
in this community. Sunday after-
noon a large of people
could be seen wending their way
slowly to Cherry Hill following
her remains to the grave. The
pall bearers were Messrs R.
