Manning, superitnendent of the water and street departments, was made superintendent of the cem etery to handle the sale of lots and other business connected with the improvement and up-keep of the property Attorneys Co bum and Coburn were named to investigate the own ersnip of a bouse and lot adjoining" the cemetery, the authorities stating that they were of the opinion that ownership of tiie home now occupied by the Wheeler family was vested in the town. Prices for plots will be maintained under the old schedule for the time being, at least. The 20 by 20 plots will sell for $25 and the half-size plots for $15. Representatives of the L. B. Har rison estate agreed to surrender their land for $180, the amount invested in it, and an order was issued direct ing tax foreclosure proceedings against the remainder of the land for the enlargement of the cemetery. Colored youths who recently clear ed part of the property will be reim bursed for their work, the authori ties virtually agreeing to assist them in financing the construction of a playground on another site.

Henry, who later became known as Hal Biggs, was one of those cunning little rascals who gained the favor of his master and mistress and enjoyed free range during his early childhood on the large Rogers plan tation about 4 miles from here, a short distance off the Williamston Washington Highway. He was a 'rounder'."

No hits, no wrecks and no driv* nig errors were chalked up last week on Martin County high ways and for the first time this year motorists established a per fect driving record for the seven day period. There'll have to be a great many perfect records before the motorists bring their wrecking activities into line with the record established during the first nine weeks oflast year. In the corresponding week of last year there were no wrecks on Martin County highways. ?--Otrittirie of-the number - injured 1 and damage loss, the record this year is better than it was last for up until this time last year one life had been claimed. The rec ord last week is a mighty accom plishment, one that should be repeated in the weeks to come.
