btrn. was in the city on business

Mr. B. S. Clark of RoDer has
' been in the city this week at
tending court.
Mr. John Paul of Swan Quar

of Miss Lucy Norman.

day for the purpose of testing
eyes and fitting glasses. Dr.
Smith has made several visits
here in this capacity and has
given utmost satisfaction in
every respect.
Col. W. F. Beasley has been
in the city several days this
week. Sometime ago we refer
ed to Col. Beasley as being from
. Baltimore, .but while he was in
town this week, he gave us a
good raking over the coals for
the offense, as he terms it- He
stoutly denies citizenship at that
place, and vehemently declares
that while he has a good oppro
tunity of claiming the best spot
on the globe as his home he shall
do so whenever the opportunity
presents itself. Hereafter, no
matter what mistake we might
make, keep it in mind that the
jovial colonel hails from Wash
ington County, North Carolina,
U. S- A.
The Insurance and Realty Co.,
together with some other indus
trial and development companies,
of the Sooth, are arranging for
a great, advertising campaign
whereby the lands, climate and
wonderful advantages of this
section will be placed before
home-seekers of the United
States. The combination will
open an office, or an information
bureau, in the middle West,
where home-seekers or investors
may go and find what they want.
This will-be a great opportunity
for land-owners to place their
lands on the market and we hope
Washington County will avaU
herself of the opportunity, and
reap the reward. See the notice
of the Insurance and Realty Co.,
in this paper. '

Serious Wind Storm.
Last Friday afternoon a severe
wind storm struck here, pre
ceedei by low, heavy clouds and
some rain. Many of -the trees
were stripped of limbs, and
gome "property damaged resulted.
The greatest property damage,
probably, was the wrecking of a
new building being erected by
Mr. E. R. Jackson at the foot of
Water street. The building was
torn completely down, entailing
a lose of approximately $500.00.
iAt the time of the storm the
building, which was 79x22x22 ft. ,
in proportions, was rapidly near--ino-
completion. Some of the
lumber used in the construction
was saved.

and Ryland White, members of
the Boys Scouts organization
here, assisted by Mrs. S. N. Gul-
ley, raised the American Flag
at the entrance of the Plymouth
Garage & Motor Co.'s garage at
the foot of Water street.
Whenever anything of a pat
riotic nature is to be done the
Boy Scouts can be found on the
job, as has been demonstrated
on several occasions. Mr. L. W
Gurkin, the popular proprietor
of the Plymouth Garage & Motor
Co., also demonstrates a very
patriotic spirit in procuring the
flag and other things essential to
Us installation. ;
