a relish after a few weeks vacation

much larger, and Prof. Moore*and

Negro Woman a PoatnmJtreae.
The following special from Wil¬
mington N. C,, is enough to turn
any respctable white man against
the administration of President
McKinley:
Mary Guion, a negro woman, re¬
ceived notice yesterday from Wash¬
ington that she had been appointed
postmistress for Tar Heel, Bladen
county. North Carolina.
Mrs. V. B. Robinson, a white
widow who has been acceptably
filling this position, was* turned
down for this negro woman. The
people of Tar Heel are highly indig¬
nant at the humiliation to which
they are subjected.
Bogart and Jefferson to Cross
Bats.
For some time the Jefferson base
ball team bus been expressing a de
sire U\0pect the Bogart team on the
diatixtod.
Next Saturday the Jefferson
team will be here and a match
game will be played.
This team is composed of some
good player#, and they *re confi
dently expecting to gain a victory
over our boys. But our home boys
are equally determined to hold the
reputation they have won in former
games, and when the score is called
Bogart will be ahead.
The ladies are especially invited
to witness this game. The best of
order will be preserved, and the
presence of ladies always cheers
the boys, and they will try harder
to win the game.
Later— Before going to press
we learn that the Jefferson team
cannot get here. We will have
game anyway.
Arrangements will be made for
another match game if possible.

OR. W. N. BURSON
Quietly Passed Away Last
Sunday Afternoon.
Dr. Burson is dead.
These , w ords were . uttered by
many last Sunday afternoon when
it was generally known tnat this
good man had passed away, and
his soul had gone into the presence
of the God who gave it.
The announcement of his death
brought universal sorrow to the
hearts pf hundreds of dear friends,
besides the many relatives, who
loved and esteemed him for his gen¬
tle manner, and the gentlemanly
way in which he dealt with his fel¬
low man.
Dr. Burson w f as born in Jackson
county’ Ga., about three miles
from Winder, in the yeiir of our
Lord 1847, and at the time of his
death was nearly half a century
old.
Throughout these many years his
life had been an exemplary one, and
in nil hi, dealing, wilh hi, fellow
men he dealt honestly, conscien
ciously and truthfully with them,
About 15 years ago he moved to
Walton couyty, where he begun
the practice of medicine, and for
two years he was a resident of that
county,‘during which time he built
up an extensive practice, and since
#
that time he Has been actively en¬
gaged in his chosen profession. He
has'been a resident of Oconee coun
ty thirteen years, and a citizen of
Bogart four years, where he has
made many friends, and the hearts
of many afflicted ones have been
mude glad by his presence and his
able administration of medical
skill, and the sufferings of hundreds
of his putients have been alleviated
by the thorough knowledge he had
of their condition#, and the applica¬
tion of proper remedies.
Dnr Burson was very sociuble in
all his dealings with his friends—lie
had no foes. He never forsook a
friend or forgot a favor. Many an
humble home blesses his benevo¬
lence, and many a manly heart is
bowed in speechless sorrow.
Dr. Hurson’s sudden demise was
a severe ehock to this entire coin
munity, for although he had been
feeling unwell for some time, his
immediate family had no idea that
the end was so near
Sunday morning he was in his
usual health, ami visited his neigh
hors, und made two professional
calls; but about one o'clock he be¬
gan complaining, and about 4130
o’clock the fatal end came, when
inunhood’s strength and medical
skill and all the administrations of
love were powerless. He had
passed over the river, and in the
Great Beyond ho rests in peace.
In 1882 he professed religion and
united with the Christian Church,
and since that time he has been an
acceptable member, being faithful
in the discharge of his religioes du-<
ties, and punctual in attendance
upon divine services.
In the death of Dr. Burson
county loses one of its most honor
ed and respected citizens, the Church
a faithful and consistent member,
and his family a loving and devot
ed husband and father. He leaves
a heart-broken wife and three chil
dren who deeply mourn the loss of
their loved one. v
The burial services were conduct
by Rev. Mr. Chastain, of Ath
ens, and Rev. W. M. Coile, of
Winterville, after which all that
was earthly of our deceased friend
was laid to rest in the cemetery at
the Baptist church, und hundreds
of sorrowing .relatives and friends
were present to pay the last sad
tribute of respect to the dead.
To the bereaved family our Iweart
gxaes out in sympathy, and while
we drop a tear of sorrow on the
grave of your lost loved one. we
point you for consolation in your
hour of sore bet^aVemen.t to Ifim
who doeth all things well, and who
is too wise to err, and too good to
be -unkind, jflfee member, “The
Lord gave, arra the Lord taketh
away.”

Death of Little Myrjtie Dial.
On July the 7th 1897, the pure
sweet spirit of little Myrtle Dial,
winged its flight to the Beautiful
Land beyond the skies,
.She was born December the 23rd
1895, being at her death one year,
six months, and fourteen days old.
The little face, the little voice, the
little prattles, that filled the heart
of father and mother with pgide is
no more.
All of us must have our sorrows,
our pains, our disappointments,
Mixed with these are many pleas¬
ures. Many Jmuch happiness.
Such is the life of everyone.
Ah! a \acant seat-dfcplain it,
That of little Mynie Dial.
She left it for a seat in Heaven;
Can another fill it here?
'’"mi,."'”' 6d"lu .
\v a * sunshine wantifig up in Heaven?
And You the lieam lo till the place?
It is well that you should go then.
Though we cannot tnderstand
Why from earth a sunbeam's taken,
To make more bright the Brighter
Iatnd.
A father’s lieart is sad and breaking,
And a mother's sadder still;
Those of brother, frieitds and relatives
Are overshadowed !>]• her will.
Sad ones, think loss of you’ll w in j better her gal hear; it is,
Add your
No fever reaches her suit in Heaven
As it did her body liefe.
Although the family chin nffiroken,
The one missing link -h> dear,
Will hind the link on earth to Heaven,
Till the unbroken main'# formed

Our scii4>ol house is situated on
the most elevated point in Bogart,
and therefore, is the coolest place
in town.
Some children are out of school,
because the weather is “too hot.”
Time is precious, and, our school's
interest demand, their presence.
Should our children be taught by
father and mother that they have
plenty of time to fit themselves to
be men and women.
Have we the interests of our
children at heart? If so let us k>ok
after their best interest and not be
governed by their petty desires and
