Work on Rich Square-Murfreesboro Road Begun Work of building the Rich Square-Murfreesboro link of State Highway No, 12 was begun last week and we are informed that it will be pushed to comple tion, thus completing a direct, almost straight continuous high way from Norfolk to the East central section of North Carolina and points South. This will mean much to the richest agricultural section of North Carolina, the land tha> produces the bulk of the large crop of cotmn, peanuts and to bacco grown in this state as well as being an important truckin^ SEction. N^ionaJ Memorial Day to be Observed at Scotland Neck Next Sunday, May 30th, is set apart as National Memorial Day to those men who lost their lives in the World War and the Scot land Neck Post and auxiliary of the American Lngion will offer their tribute to these men with exercises at the Baptist church at Scotland Neck at 11 o’clock. Hon. Brice Little of Wilson will be principal speaker. Follow ing the exercises at the church all ex service men’s graves in that community will be decorat ed. We extend an invitation to everybody and especially all ex service men and their families. Crop Prospects Owing to unseasonable dry, cool weather crons are from one to two weeks behind and with many it has been hard to get a stand and much planting over has been done. A good crop of oat and clover hay has been harvested, and the few who grow alfalfa have made one cutting. Mr. Ira J. Hoover, near Rich ifquare, is said to have a fine field of alfalfa. Wheat does not appear to be up to the aver age. Planting cotton continued the past week. A considerable acre age was planted the second time, and on most farms a portion of the cotton fields are bare. It has turned cool after every shower, consequently it has been hard to secure a stand of cotton which is a wa'm weather plant. Corn has fared some better j than cotton, though iate I Some are planting over pea-' nuts, the most uncertain to come| up of our principal crops I Owing to the cool weather! sweet potatoes are late coming up, and plants from the South are high in price and but few transplantings have been made. Owing to the long crop grow ing season with which we are blessed it is hard to forecast a crop in Mav. We have four weeks in which to plant cotton and peanuts and three months in which corn can be planted. J. G. Moore Laid to Rest in Family Burying Ground Funeral services over the re mains of the late J. G. Moore were conducted Thursday after noon by Elder Julius Moore, of Whitakers, and burial made at the old home place about six miles from Scotland Neck. A large concourse of sorrowing friends attending the last rites. Mr. Moore was well known in this section where he had spent his long life, being about 77 years of age at the time of his death, which occurred in the Edgecombe General Hospital Tuesday night at eight thirty- o’clock, after an illness of more than a year, which became acute several days ago when he was taken to the hospital in the hope of prolonging his life. Quiet and unassuming, Mr. Moore lived his life and died a triend to the needy, a counsellor to his associates, and a loving father and husband to his fami ly. Many were those who sought his advice, he being considered one of the very best farmers in this section, having begun life as a poor man, and by his hard work and knowledge of agricu’ tore, had accumulated, not a for tune, as measured by. great bank aecounts and many acres of land, a comfortable living for those dependent upon him for support. The familiar figure of “Gris” vfoore, as he was known, will be missed by bis friends, and his widow, who was his chum for many years, has indeed lost a companion. The grave and plot were bank ed with an abundance of beauti ful flowers, the offering of friends, who by this token ex pressed their esteem for the de parted.—Scotland Neck Com monwealth. The following was told in a public place in Rich Square: A boy (naming one about 12 or 15 years old) went into a place of business and asked to be given bills for twelve dollars in small change, and the one applied to remarked, “You must have all the change,” w.hereupon another boy in the room remarked, “Yes, he has got every d cent all of us had,” meaning, of course, that the boys had been gambling and the one with the change had won all the stakes. It is gener ally known that such conduct has been going on in the town among the small boys for several years, and that it is on the in crease, following the examples of older persons.
