In I VlUt) we erected a splendid brick building and 1906-1907 was the best school year in the history of Weldon. 1907-1908 will be still better and with Superintendent Latham again at the head of our educational institutions we feel that we will have the banner school district of North Carolina. The faculty is composed of teachers of experience and is certainly one of the strongest that can be shown by any school in Halifax coun ty. The names and assignments are as follows: l-'irst (irade Miss Josephene Mercer, of Rocky Mount. Second (irade- Mrs. Sallie Gooch, of Weldon. Third Grade- Miss May Hampton, of Greensboro. Fourth (irade- Miss Helen Pope, of Weldon. Fifth (irade- Miss Theresa Dickens, of Halifax. Sixth (irade Miss Nancy Rose, of Warrenton. Seventh (irade - Miss Liz.ina Moore, of Grimesland. l-ighth GradeMiss Burke Thompson, of Ashland, Va. Ninth Grade-Superintendent R. I I. Latham. Three years ago there was no school library and scarcely a school worth mentioning. Today the W'eldon public school has a library of 550 volumes, and friends are constantly adding to this, so that within a few more years we can certainly have a library of 1000 volumes.

His in- ries were terrible, and the physi- j cian, Dr. I E. Green, who was immediately called in to attend '. him, says he cannot see how the ' little Fellow lived so long after the , accident. He was struck by the engine at 5 o'clock and lingered until nearly eight, before death en tered and took the little spirit from the bruised form. The grief of the parents was ........ ....... 1: ... i .1. ... t- ... imwi 111..11 ii cuiiing auu mey nave the greatest sympathy in their sad bereavement. The funeral service took place Thursday, the interment being in the family burying grounds, a few miles from Weldon. Rev. H. A. Willis.pastor of the Baptist Church, conducted the services. The tragic death of this little boy should be a warning to parents to keep their children off the rail road, as well as to trainmen to be more careful in the handling of their trains.
