  in 
  Congress, 
  and 
  was 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  Governor 
  of 
  the 
  State. 
  

   After 
  practicing 
  law 
  for 
  some 
  years 
  in 
  Fayetteville, 
  Mr. 
  

   Fuller 
  accepted 
  a 
  position 
  tendered 
  him, 
  through 
  Mr. 
  Wins- 
  

   low's 
  influence, 
  in 
  Washington 
  City, 
  as 
  Fifth 
  Auditor 
  in 
  the 
  

   Treasury 
  Department, 
  which 
  position 
  he 
  filled 
  until 
  the 
  

   breaking 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  war 
  in 
  18G1, 
  when 
  he 
  resigned 
  and 
  cast 
  

   his 
  lot 
  with 
  his 
  native 
  State. 
  After 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  war 
  he 
  

   resumed 
  the 
  practice 
  of 
  law 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  his 
  brother 
  

   Col. 
  Thomas 
  C. 
  Fuller, 
  now 
  of 
  Raleigh, 
  and 
  continued 
  with 
  

   him 
  for 
  some 
  years, 
  but 
  subsequently 
  removed 
  to 
  Durham, 
  

   where 
  he 
  spent 
  the 
  remainder 
  of 
  his 
  days. 
  Mr. 
  Fuller 
  was 
  

   an 
  eminently 
  good 
  and 
  true 
  man 
  ; 
  for 
  many 
  years 
  an 
  active 
  

   Ruling 
  Elder 
  in 
  the 
  Presbyterian 
  church; 
  a 
  man 
  of 
  calm, 
  quiet 
  

   and 
  rather 
  retiriug 
  disposition 
  ; 
  exceedingly 
  amiable 
  and 
  

   genial 
  in 
  his 
  nature; 
  of 
  striking 
  personal 
  appearance, 
  and 
  

   possessing 
  a 
  large 
  amount 
  of 
  native 
  dignity 
  — 
  a 
  man 
  to 
  whom 
  

   everyone 
  felt 
  drawn, 
  whom 
  every 
  one 
  honored 
  and 
  respected. 
  

   One 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  of 
  scholars, 
  a 
  man 
  of 
  broad 
  reading 
  and 
  

   rich 
  culture, 
  with 
  a 
  clear 
  and 
  sound 
  judgment, 
  he 
  seemed 
  

   capable 
  of 
  filling 
  any 
  position, 
  and 
  his 
  death 
  was 
  a 
  sad 
  

   loss 
  to 
  the 
  city 
  and 
  indeed 
  to 
  the 
  State. 
  He 
  died 
  at 
  his 
  resi- 
  

   dence 
  in 
  Durham, 
  on 
  the 
  2Sth 
  of 
  November, 
  1882, 
  after 
  a 
  

   a 
  sickness 
  of 
  several 
  months.

  LOCKHART. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  energetic, 
  affable 
  and 
  deservedly 
  

   popular 
  warehousemen 
  known 
  in 
  Tobacco 
  circles, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  leading 
  business 
  men 
  of 
  Durham, 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  its 
  

   first 
  settlers. 
  He 
  came 
  to 
  this 
  city 
  just 
  after 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  

   late 
  civil 
  war, 
  with 
  limited 
  means, 
  and 
  commenced 
  the 
  

   manufacture 
  of 
  smoking 
  tobacco. 
  But 
  finding 
  that 
  he 
  

   could 
  not 
  successfully 
  compete 
  with 
  the 
  Bull 
  and 
  other 
  es-- 
  

   tablished 
  brands, 
  which 
  had 
  acquired 
  universal 
  popularity, 
  

   he 
  judiciously 
  identified 
  himself 
  with 
  the 
  Leaf 
  and 
  Fertil-
