ASSETS DISTRIBUTED.
For some time Mr. D. Lawrence
Groner, referee in bankruptcy, has had
under consideration the matter of 'the
distribution of the assets of the West
Norfolk I.umber Company, amounting
to about $2S,000, and be rendered Iiis
decision yesterday. When the plant
was destroyed by lire some short time
prior to the failure of the company
the Insurance policies on the mill prop?
erly were held by the Farmers' Bank,
Of Delaware, as security for indebted?
ness aggregating about $10.500. The
Merchants' and Farmers' Bank, of
Portsmouth, held a deed of trust on
ill.- plant to secure advances of uobul
$2,500.
Besides these two claimants there
wore other creditors to whom varying
sums were due for supplies. Referee
Groner heard various claims for priority
of payment, including those of the two
banks.
By Mr. Groner's decision the Dela?
ware bank is given the proceeds of the
insurance policies, amounting to about
$13,500, and the claims of the supply
lien creditors ore given priority over
the Portsmouth bank in the proceeds
Of the sale of the land conveyed to said
bank by the trust deed. This was be?
muse the supplies for which claims
wvro niade had been furnished before
the trust deed to the Portsmouth bank
had been recorded. The opinion forms

macro to tho United States District
Court. Messrs. Death .V.- Heath appear

I Norfolk has been practicing stead

j and play with them. Devlin, it will
be remembered, practically won the

Another Centenarian Son of Time
Will soon descend to dark abysmal
depths.
Prostrate to lny his giant form beside
The mouldered ashes of the long line
Of dead ancestral centuries, gone be?
fore:
And as his mighty lungs arc breathing
out
The last expiring moments of a life,
Triumphant and potential to its close,
The thoughtful, earnest mind will
pause to hear
The whispered leatwns meant fut heed?
ful ears.
But. as our restless thought essays to
grasp
The scope of records so profound and
vast.
-These whispering voices seem "to grow
T.i echoes, measureless and multiform.
Till, like a thousand heralds, vielng
each
With other in vociferous calls, that
seem
To fill, with wild confusing energy.
The circumambient air. This task is
not
To place In orderly array the records
of achievements made by man during
this.
Tito mightiest century since Time first
dawned ?
Upon tin; fair primeval earth?en
tomb-ed
On history's broad shelves, these an?
nals lie,
Securely ranged and gathered, free to
all.
Whose student minds incline them to
research.
I Nor Is it ours. In this essay?in light
of this transcendant greatness?to de
tine:
To analyze, or trace the processes.
By which development seems to have
reached
Nearly its utmost bound: wo only hope
To mark some danger points made
clear In this
Strong light, for not unmixed with
darker shades
Must be the picture, that would speak
the truth.
The broad deep wave of Progress,
sweeping on
Its swift, resistless way, bears many
a taint
Of woeful wrong, and error in Us tide;
Disaster's tireless hand hath strewn Its
shores
With wrecks innumerable of human
hopes.
And lives: Ambitious greed, and lust
for power
And conquest hath had their willing
subjects,
In this, as in the centuries past:
Oppression's yokes are forced by war's
rude hand
On Peoples dying for the right to live
In freedom's h"|y ='''' T" lilieriv?
So bravely real in this proud century's
Earlier years?but now an out-grown
toy?
Transformed from Its former priceless
worth.
As a universal heirloom, to this?
An ornament, lit only to be worn
By the favored few?a thing too
precious
Or. perhaps?too dangerous for the
throng?
"O. Liberty!?must it still be Bald?
What crimes are in thy pure and lofty
na me
Committed!" Shall a wondering world
behold..
In the infant years of the century to
be born.
Thy sacred name disowned, and
License lift
Her banners over thine? Let Prayer
raise
Her pennons, Faith Inscribed, yet
higher still.
That Cod's Omnipotence may daily use
The people's vigilance, to keep secure
From furthci loss or peril, this peerless
Helrltnge, by enemies abroad,
Or those most to be dreaded, from
within.
These queries, were they put in serious
mood.
Or where the people of our own great
land
Awake to realize such danger yet
Conceived to be so far remote?would
find
That Freedom's virtue will have power
in hurl
These monster foes to sure disastrous
death.
No tlr ughtful mind will fall ,to see
these foes;
No patriot heart should fear to face
their strength.
Sine- Right and Truth for Nations, as
for men.
Must seek their victories from "One
Supremo
Almighty Source,"?and now. upon the
birth
Of this new century, so promlsoful
Of progress, yet profoundcr, and more

Shall not one aspiration, deep upheave
The universal heart?that war shall

And Hint the mighty tide of Wrong

May toon remove their bitter curse,

Fair reign be hastened on this suffer?

FRATERNITY
NOTES.
John C. Tco has been awarded the
contract for the erection of the pro?
posed Elks' building In Portsmouth. It
will cost $15,009.
?_._?
The closing of the year lt'00 shows
that the Woodmen of the World have
surpassed all former re* ords since the
organization of the oraler, In June, IS'Jl.
During the year it has had the bat?
tles of political campaigns and great
competition, still it is very gratifying
to state that prosperity has attended
this great fraternal beneficiary order
during the year 1000. it has had sad
disasters and financial losses, the
greatest being at Galveston. Texas, and
while the loss was unexpected, all
claims have been paid, and the popu?
larity of the Woodmen has caused tho
order to be designated the "Wonder of
the World."
The fraternity and charity of tho
members, "as the order teaches." has
been very noticeable and worthy of
commendation, as shown by the relief
fund for Galveston survivors, which
has reached the sum of $5,000. During
the year many a home has been 1" 11 .1
of a good father, husband or brother,
and equally us many homes and loved
ones have been benefited by the wise
benefactions of the Woodmen of tho
World.
While the camps of Norfolk and
Portsmouth have missed from their
membership several good and loyal
sovereigns, It is comforting to know
that they.' with careful forethought,
had provided protection for their loved
ones while In health. The monument
feature of the Woodmen of the World
is one of the cardinal principles of
Woodcraft?"No member shall Ii?-? in an
unmarked grave."
The unveiling of the monuments is
a tribute beautiful and Impressive,
honoring the memory of Its deceased
sovereigns.
Elizabeth Camp. Norfolk, holds regu?
lar meetings on the first and third
