P atriotism The Etoinach is a larger factor in "life, liberty ani the pur suit of happiness" than most people are aware. Patriotism can withstand hunger but not dyspepsia. The confirmed dys peptic "is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils." The man who goes to the front for his country with a weak stomach will be a weak soldier sad a fault finder.

Josey and Mrs. J. P. Wim berley Entertain. Max Riddick Lost. The immediate family and several friends were thrown into some ex citement Saturday night about 2 o'clock over the non-arrival at home of Max Riddick. The young man engaged to work for Mr. J. W. Allsbrook Saturday and this he did well and faithfully. Just before closing hours that night Max became tired and went towards the rear of the store where he found a Comfort able place to sit down and doing so he soon fell to sleep. The store was closed and all' went home losing sight of Max. When Mrs. Riddick called the roll, or rather when it was discovered that Max was not at home it caused some alarm and Mrs. Riddick with other members of the family set about to see what had become of Max. After giving the alarm in a quiet way and calling several families over the 'phone, some one suggested that the boy had been left in the store. They at once went to the home of Mr. Claude Allsbrook and had him go to the store and there, sound asleep, the lost boy was found and restored to his family, and what seemed to be a serious matter "at the beginning turned out to be laughable at the end. The joke is on Max and his friends are teasing him not a little about getting lost. Max says he is very glad they found him for he would have been almost scared to death to have found himself in the store at such a late hour in the night. He will also be more careful where he goes- to sleep the next time. Another link was added to the sil ver chain of parties which has been being given in Scotland Neck for the past several weeks for the benefit of the graded school fund, a link that was "all silver and guaranteed to wear a life time" in the memory of all who were present on Thursday night, June 29, 1911. Then it was that Mrs. R. C. Josey and Mrs. J. P. Wimberley entertained from 8:30 until 11:30 at a delightful lawn party. No more suitable place could have been chosen than the lawn with its tall trees, its green carpet and its inviting swings. An electric light in the center lighted up the most re mote corner of the lawn, which with the merry sounds of laughter and conversation that greeted all passers by, showed that fun and pleasure held sway during the evening and that every one was their willing subject. Progressive croconole was the game of the evening. All were kept so busy having a good time, that time passed unnoticed. Delicious refreshments were serv ed between games and then again "everybody was happy"" as happy as an elaborate salad course and dainty ices and cakes could make them. All of the fifty invited guests left only when the hands of the clock pointed unrelentingly to an hour that said they must, each glad that they had been so fortunate as to help make this silver link.' Wilt Fifltit Hookworm. Dr. P. W. Covington, Sanitary Director of the North Carolina Board of Health, was in Scotland Neck Saturday, making preparatory steps towards fighting the hook worm disease in the county. Dr. Covington tells us that it is the plan of the Hookworm Commission of the North Carolina Board of Health to establish dispensaries throughout the county for the treat ment of the disease. This work will be conducted by an expert in this line and he will be as assisted by a competent microsco ist furnished by the North Carolina Board of Health. This method of treatment has been carried out with a great deal of success in Georgia, Alabama and Louisanna. From 100 to 300 pa tients being treated each day in the dispensaries. The County Commissioners, at their meeting Monday apportioned an amount not to exceed $50.00 per week for four weeks to assist in this fight against the hookworm. Dr. Covington tells us that he will issue next week full information, plans and treatment of the disease, through the newspapers of the coun ty and by posters, large cards, circu lar letters etc. He urges the people to be on the lookout and as far as possible avail themselves of this treatment. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards Entertain. On- Tuesday evening, June 27ih, from four until seven-thirty of the clock, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. T. Edwards, at their nice little country residence near Scotland Neck, delightfully en tertained the little people of the community in honor of their niece, Miss Sadie Pope, one of Spring Hill's charming little ladies. Every feature of the occasion went to prove that it was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the kind during the season. The lawn was a perfect scene of loveliness. Dainty little rustic seats were nicely fixed here and there under the lovely shade trees for the little ones to occupy and play numer ous little games, which they all seemed to enjoy highly. There were several grown ladies andger. tlemen present to suggest the dif ferent plays and help them in having a nice time. Promptly at the hour of six the signal was given and all assembled around the beautiful white table, which had been tastefully arranged under a large oak on the lawn, where they were served with delicious pine apple and lemon cream, together with many different kinds of cake. After they had all partaken most bountifully, the little ones again re tired to the opposite side of the lawn and continued their games, while the older ones, some of whom, as sembled in the sitting room where many lovely duets were rendered, and others sit out on the lawn in buggies and enjoyed nice little so cial chats. Just as the glowing sun was hiding itself in the distant west, they all again met on the lawn, congratulat ing Mr. and Mrs. Edwards on their kind hospitality and declaring that they had never before spent a more delightful time, and they would be glad to hear of another such an oc casion soon.

On Monday morning, June 26, 1911, the whole community was shocked and grieved to learn that while brooding over disappointment in love, and becoming temporarily insane, our beloved young friend, Mr. Earold Barnhill had drank laud anum and was found in his room in a dying condition. All that loving friends and a skilled physician could do was to no avail. His time had come and God's summons must be obeyed. At ten o'clock his spirit took its flight to join Christ and the angels around the great white throne, in the mansion that he has prepared for his children. He was born February 9, 1891, and died June 26, 1911, and twenty years, four months and seventeen days. He was born and reared in Pitt county up until a few years ago when he came to Dawsons to live. The following year he united with Dawsons Baptist church and became a consecrated Christian wcrker. He was ever faithful to his church duties and lived in the fear of God. He was a regular attendant of pray er service and Sunday school. Though very youthful he would at times get up and testify for his God at our prayer service. He was a devoted son, a loving and affection ate brother, and always carried a sunny smrie and cheery word for all. His presence always brought with it sunshine and cheerfulness. About a year and a half ago he accepted a position with Mr. Frank P. Shields as manager of a large farm on Roanoke river, which posi tion he held up until his death a few days ago. While there he won the high esteem of many and acquired a host of friends. His business like manner and punctuality was re markable for one so youthful. He leaves behind a mother and father five sisters and three brothers to mourn their loss, and a host of sorrowing friends and relatives. Dear loved ones, though the sun shine and joy of his presence can no more cast it rays upon us here. Let us live in the anticipation of the happy time when we shall again be reunited at the Father's throne, where there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for J the former things are passed away, j Though he committed a grave error in taking his own life, we feel the blessed hope that he had been born into the righteous kingdom and was a child of the living God, and surely God is able to keep the soul com mitted to his care. How sweet to think, to feel, to know, When racked our souls with care and strife, That he is safe from every woe, Which fills our cup of mortal life, That never more shall pain distress Nor fever burn upon his brow.
