Norfolk owes ^pme of its richeat

cities in the Tsr Heel Commonwealth
have so many native "Down Homers':
as has Norfolk; and for few, If any,
of the North Carolina cities have Car

A Tribute.
We, the mem bora of Volunteer
Hose Team No. p-ot Washington, N.
C., present this tribute to our late
comrade, Richard Bragaw, whose
death Is not only a grief but a Bad
loss to our company, In which lie
manifested and unfailing Interest,
so long as he made Washington his
home.
Whereas, while humbly bowing to
the decree of him who doeth all
things well, we desire to express our
high esteem and appreciation of his
unceasing labors towards making our
joompany stronger and more efficient.
Now therefore, be It further re*
solved, t"hat in the death of Rlcjmtfd
Bragaw, our company has lost one
who was always enthusiastic and
eager to do something for the good
of the organisation, who nerer let
an opportunity pass: When help of
any kind was needed he always re
sponded. " That we tender )fo , his
family our deepest sympathy la their
bereavement, j trusting that thelr
aorrow may be tempered by the "be
lief that be has been called to a high
And better life. > -
Be it resolved farther that these
'^solutions be spread upon the min
utes, of the company, published in
the Washington Dally News and that
a copy be saat to his family.

TtWI POET
mm*?
?< There's many a poet "Nun to
blusta unseen." There 1*. reputed to
be one somewhere In ftha public
schools of this county if rumor U
correct.
A few days ago a young lady tesch
er intercepted a note a youngster
was trying to slip to V saucy
little miss upon whom he had been
lavishing sweet smiles.
Of course the sentiment of the
verse was not intended for the lit
tle miss. He wanted to show her
meroly thst he could write poetry,
or he wanted lo arouse her Jealousy.
Here Is the poetry which luckily the
teacher snatched from obscurity:
. m i
"I kissed my girl last night,
I kissed her while she was sleeping.
( Mased her on the*nose.
And the doggea thing was leaking."
That boy has in him the stufT of
which the poets are made. The teach
er Instead of giving him a reprimand
shoiUd have encouraged him In every
^ay to cultivate his talent. For the
sake of rhythm he bluntly states a
fact that knocks sentiment sky high.
Make* Initial Trip.
The steamer Vanceboro undergo
ing repairs, on the msrine railways
for some weeks has been finished
and made her first trip, from Wash
ington to Swan Quarter Wednesday.
Her regular schedule wfll be an
nounced. The patting on of this

ience to our peopel. The boat ahould
