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.

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. o Subocribc for the News 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.

Some children are out of school, because the weather is “too hot.” Time is precious, and, our school's interest demand, their presence.
