A most distressing accident occurred near here at 1:30 o' clock Sunday afternoon when Lucas, six year old son of R. L Williams was drowned in the creek just below Hankina mill, now owned by Mr. Williams. He was riding on the cross bar of a bicycle with his 12-year old brother Harvey who started to cross the bridge but lost control and both bovs and bicyle went over on the up stream side and were c irried under tie bridge by the swift current, the water being up to the bridge by reason of the extremely heavy rain the night before- Not-with-stand- ing the strong current, Harvey dived four times i an effort to find his little brother before giving the alarm. Mr. Williams eame quickly and went under the bridge but the current was so strong he had to shut down the mill gates bsfore he could locate the body which had drift ed down stream thirty yards and lodged with drift wood against a fence across ih.3 stream, having been in th j water 20 minutes or more when recovered. Dr. Speight was called and every eff jrt made to revive life but without avail. The body was laid to rest in the Williams plot Monday afternoon at 3:30. the funeral being conducted by Rev. N. L Seabolt of the Methodist Church. The heroism of Harvey Williams in trying to save his brother under such conditions was remarkable and should be highly oommended. WENONA NEWS.

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN. 'luoines, ''t-hiefs. fovea From our regular correspondent, Ro per, N. C. The campaign for the 2nd. L.berty Loan started off here in splendid shape, and even before the Committee could get straight, the first subscriber walked in with fifteen hundred in cish for the use of Uncle Sam in helping make the world safe for de mocracy. This particular sub scriber took one thousand dollars of bonds of the first issue. Everybody is invited to co-operate with the Committee, of which B. S. Clark.

Mr F. J. Hartung has left Illinois with a car load of furni ture etc. Mrs. Hartung and the children will reach here in about ten days. Rev. Seabolt of Roper, held services here Sunday morning and Sunday night. His sermons were much enjoyed by ail who attended. The deepest sympathy is ex tended by everyone to the Pol- son family in their bereavment over the loss of one of the younger children. Diphtheria was the cause of the death. The little boy was taken sick Tuesday and passed away Wed nesday. Burial took place on Thursday. This is the first death Wenona has had. Most of the bridges between here and Pungo have been re paired.. Some of them were in a very dangerous condition. Nov why cannot something be done with the roads? A few stick.! thrown carelessly into a mud hole do very well for a ft:w days, but they are not remanent. Other communities have frood roads and we should have them too, even if they do take a little extra time and work. NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
