FROM INGLESIDE
Mr. and Mrs. 11. N. Nunnally ,
and daughters, Misses Evelyn anil
Estelle, of Richmond, Va., were
visitors the past week with Mr. i
and Mrs. Z. O. Edwards.
The storm of wind, hail and
rain on Wednesday afternoon of j
last week seemed to be worse here :
than elsewhere. The top of Mr. !
Spencer's strip room was blown i
off and the top of one of the tail j
chimneys of the Charles' Macon ;
home was leveled with the roof, j
It is said the chimneys, up to the 1
present time, have stood in tact j
for at least 100 years. Several
trees nearby were damaged.
The writer thinks he has' dis- j
covered a pretty good double of'
the late Will Rogers, and bearing
the same name as the lamented
comedian. He is B. W. Rogers,
Liberty Street, Durham.
Ingleside residents, who bad
been watching the heavy rains of
Tuesday, were surprised to see
quite a fall of "the beautiful"
snow at 1:30 P. M. Some think it
would have covered the ground
'completely but for ihe preceding
rain. 'tt
The Warren Hecord reports a
brief visit from Major Sam Martin
Council in his huge plane. Major
iConuell is a nephew of Mrs. A. W.
: Wilson: . .
What is regarded as probably
the largest airplane to ever land
at the government airport near
Warrenton was brought to ground
there on Monday afternoon by Ma- 1
jor Sam Martin Council who stop- ;
: ped here for a visit of approxi- i
lnately 30 minutes with his moth
er, Mrs. W. A. Connell, and other
| members of the family.
! The plane was one of the go/-i
erninent'8 large warships, equip
ped with machine guns and for'
dropping bombs. The last ship;
with its triple motors carries a
crew of seven, including a pilot, a
co-pilot, a bomber, a machine gun- j
ner, and A radio operator.
A number of persons drove to
the field to view the plane." , . )
Mr. Henry C. Dickerson, came j
home last week from Richmond,
Va., where he was a patient in a!
hospital, nearly four month. He is i
slowly recovering from a gunshot j
wound in the head by a negro ban- j
dit in a robbery attempted at a
Service Station of which be was
the attendant.
At the trial in Hustings Court
recently the robber drew a sen
tence of 10 years in the peniten
tiary. The three other negroes in
volved in the case were sentenced
to 2 years each. They also were
sentenced to serve a term of eight
years each on a previous charge of
holding up S. M. Cantor, a store
keeper, on West Leigh Street.'
The Singing Class from the I
Methodist Orphanage, with Miss '
Nellie B. Rives in charge, carried j
out a most excellent program at
Trinity M. E. Church last Sunday. |
The exercises were very much en- !
joyed by all present. The Trinity j
ladies served a good dinner to the I
visitors, in keeping with their us
ual custom on such occasions.
The class went from here to
Louisburg where they appeared at j
the Methodist Church.
