LOCAL NEWS, TUESDAY, JUNE 10th 1879. Chew Jackson’s BuslSwoct Navy Tobacco, ,W-3ly. Qpehby : ‘ ‘Why will men smoko common tobacco, wheu »1k-v na buy Marburg Bros. Seal of North CorolUrn, at tho same price?” Died, Near town, on the 31st nit., Wil liam Sidney Whittle, eon of Elbert J. and Sarah Francis Whittle, aged 0 years and 22 dn^'S. “Of such ia the kingdom of heaven.” Death of Mrs* C. Russ. Again the Angel reaper has thrust in his sickle, and gathered home fully ripe for the harvert, thus sever ing the chain that bound together the most loving family it has ever been our pleasure to be acquainted with. It is consoling to feel that this link has been placed on high, to lure the other mem bers of the family heavenward. The sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. C. Rurs, consort of Mr. Hugh Russ,on Saturday morning at 4 o’clock, vailed our community in mourning at the loss of one beloved by all. We tend our heartfelt sympathy to the grief stricken family. Died. At the residence of Mr. James Gray near Carsonville on the 5th of June, Mrs. Louisa Leonard, wife of Mr. James Leonard, deceased, of Talbot county, after a very short illness, be ing sick only two days. It was a very sudden death, as she was in Butler ou Sunday before in good health. Her many friends will be sad on hearing oi her sudden demise. Large sales indicate the* merits of all good articles. Druggist sell more of Dr.Bull's Baby Syrup than of all other remedies for the cure of Baby Disorders. There is much sickness throughout the county, mostly of a disinterry character. We will icmivin iu Butler this week, aud it is positively our lust. Respectfully, .BRANTLEY & NORRIS. Oh account of a slight spell of sick ness of the publisher of this paper for the past three days, we are very sorry to say it has been somewhat, delayed. Several important items lmvo ulso been unavoidably left. out. Crops in Crawford County From a gentleman who has recently visited Crawford county we learn that the crops generally are very good. He informed us that Col. Thomas Rdines, near the river had a field of cotton in which were eighty acres well formed and would average half log high. This statement speaks well for Colonel Raines. OBITUAKY. It becomes our painful duty, to an nounce the death of our much beloved, and highly eefcaemod f«Tow citizen Mr. JiS. Bartlett,who died after a long and j willful illness of paralysis and dropsy, 1 at Iiis tesidouce nour Butler on Wednes day night, at 11 o’clock, tins 4th inst. In regard to the character of fcho de ceased, we fool entirely inadequate to puss any eulogy whatever, as ho was too well known to the citizens of Tay lor, and adjacent counties for our pen to do his memory competent justice He died where he had livqd for years, and many knew him, and knew him to be a just and honest man, practicing no law, “but that the borrower is servant to the lender.” Yet ho was one that was over ready and willing to extend mercy to others. Asa business man, he was prompt in all his obliga tions, ever keeping his credit tip, by paying the money down. So there was neither white or black, rich or poor, who knew him that would have doubt ed his word or honor. Vigilent in all his business, ho accu mulated considerable wealth. Fuithful in all that was committed to his trust., he was uever put out of the stewartsliip. As a husband, and father, wo have nevs er seen any lack, nor heard any com plaint. As a muster, be was kind and indulgent, As a Christian, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Primitive Baptist church years ago. But it is with regret that we accord that ho was overtaken in a fault. But with joy and confidence we announce that by faith, he was enable to say “Get thee behind me Satan,” which should the more confirm our confidence in him as a Christian, and moro especial ly from that time forward, his orderly wiili- daily, and Godly conversation. Ah a benevolent and charitable man, his acts knew no bounds in this and rounding communities never say ing to those who were cold, “be ye irmed,” oi to those who were hun- y “bn ye filled,” or to thoso who had i d go and come again when he had by him. But all of his acts in this sp< ct manifested that he had the love of God in his heart. So in conclusion, we can only say, that the widow, the relatives, the church at Bethel, the town of Butler, the community feels that we have suffered a loss that is ir- repnirable. In the language of M. Vernon, when the father of his country died. ' ’Where shall our community turn its eye, What help remains boucath ihosky; But 'tin Go 1 that has bereft us. Bere our loss we deeply feel, But lie enn all our sorrows heal. Then to the widow, realatives,church ^rnd community, we tender our heart felt sympathy, hoping from many evi deuces that our loss is bis eternal gain A Friend.

Almost every otecr man or woman you meet lms it, and the result is that ilic number of pseudo-remedies for it i» as numerous as Pharaoh’s host. They are for tho most part worthless. There is, however, a searching cradi- cant of this distressing and obdurate malady, one whose genuiug mi long since raised it to a foremost place among the staple medicinces of Amer ica.

Mr. Editor, did you over con template an excursion for weeks, with selections of company made and joys almost unspeakably antic ipated, then at tho eventful hour to just be in time to be too late for the train with bought to console you save the fast receding roar of the mighty steam horseP Well, if you have been so unfortunate, recall your feelings of that moment and I'll refrain describing those of a disappointed pic-nic participant. It is a part of ray nature not to be foiled in toto, unless as is often the case, 'tis impossible to devise a cure, then I simply endure, still to ascertain the why's and where fore's, I determined to see my fair invitor and find what feasible ex cuse if tiny prevented the appear ance of the Butlerites. To my * n- tiro satisfaction, no blame whatever rested on anyone, though ft was intimated, that the getter-up, or the principal one to get it up saw the unenviable position he would place himself in, by keeping things in the even “tenor of their way” between two, whose hearts under such circumstances could not “beat as one.” In short he feared that green-eyed monster, so r< ady to prey upon the vitals of true love, would be unmistakably manifested by too close associations between Miss his idolized of B and the country queen, Mi«s of the mill. Judicious step friend G. Let others do as they ruay, your head's level on this 8 ’ore.

By the way if any body under disappointment needs sympathy he (W. J. G.) certain ly does, for he it understood while I rode twelve miles to meet my chagrin, he walked twelve to meet the same late. Ohl isn’t it lovely to contemplate. But we’ll hear it manfully, for all is fair in love and war. Now, Mr. Editor, some one is to blame, not to pacify me do I contend this; but some body is to blame, and if facts have been stat ed as they really exist and not as we desire, please say who is respon sible? 1 am satisfied if others for ungrateful would ho be who would fail or refuse to accept' tin delights eujoyed from 5 to 7 P.
