The long hoped for rain which
fell here Friday nightv was of
great value to all garden truck
and young corn and cotton. Al
though the precipitation lasted
for only a few hours, conditions
following were such as to make
it effective in nourishing grow
ing things that had suffered for
lack of moisture. Following the
ram, which was accompanied by
heavy thunder and sharD flashes
of lightning, the mercury took a
decided tumble The weather
since has been much below' nor
mal, the northeast winds created
a fall like atmosphere which has
brought out overcoats and other
winter wraps and caused fires to
be relighted. Unless a change in
temperature comes soon all young
cotton will be killed.

Our town was shocked Sunday
morning when our townsman.
Mr. C. L. N. Stephenson, an
nounced he had received a tele
gram, apprising him his son,
Grady, had died Saturday night
at his home near Vaughan. The
father knew thf son was sick,
but did not think him seriously
unwell. "Uncle Claude" left on
noon train for the sad home. The
body arrived here Monday after
noon and interred in the family
burying ground two miles from
town. We have not, at this writ
ing, the particulars, neither the
nature of his sickness. He leaves
a young wife, a little 5 year old
daughter by his first marriage.an
aged father, two brothers and
three sisters to mourn their loss.
To the bereaved ones we offer
sincerest sympathy.
Last Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock the barn and stables of
Mr. Jno. D. Pope were discover
ed on fire and alarm immediately
given, but the contents were of
such an inflammable nature, to
gether with the dryness of every
thing that it was consumed in a
very short time. In addition to
the buildings Mr. Pipe lost a
very valuable horse, a good too
buggy, farming implements and
all his feed Stuff. The timely ar
rival of some half hundred men
saved his dwelling which ignited
several times. The loss falls very
heavily upon Mr. Pope who is al
most a cripple from rheumatism
and therefore less able to cope
with the situation than a healthy
man. He carried no insurance.
We feel the deepest sympathy
for him and hope our peoole will,
as heretofore, assist in a sub
stantial way.
Mr. C. G. Garriss. an honored
and respected gentleman, died
last Wednesday afternoon at his
country home near Margaretts
ville. . Mr. Garriss had been in
failing health for some time,
therefore his death was not al
together unexpected. He was a
consistent member of Sharon M.
E. church. He was twice mar
ried. His last wife was Miss
Pattie Lou Davis, to whom he
was married Dec. 26, 1912. He
leaves severail children. One
daughter. Mrs. Carter Barnes,
resides here. To the bereaved
ones we extend our sympathy.
Our town was teeming with
commencement visitors last week
We would-like- to mention ach

One of the largest crowds that
ever assembled in Seaboard came
together last Thursday to witness
the closing exercises of the Sea

sented by the school. The ora
tions by the four male graduates,
Messrs. Payare Gay, Dean Crock-!
er, Robert and Kindred Long.and
the essay by Mis Edna Long,
were all of a high order. The
class address by Rev. M. Y. Self
was a gem. The diplomas were
presented by Supt. Paul J. Long

in the art of preparing for us

her excellence was delightfully
