SEABOARD LOCALS. Two Deaths The Commencament Loss by Fire Faculty Meeting Good Rains Personals. Miss Nellie Long. Elizabeth City.ia making an indefinite visit in the home of her aunt, Mrs. R. D. a Maddrey. Our townsman, Mr. M.F. Long, left Sunday for a business trip to Oxford and at the same time visit his brother, Mr. Will Long. 'Mr. Clarence Joyner, Norfolk, Va., is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Joyner. 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. Rev. M. Y. Self filled his regu lar monthly appointment with the M. E. church here Sunday morning and at Concord in the afternoon. He announced that Presiding Elder Bumpaos would preach here Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, again Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, af ter which the regular business of a Quar terly Conference would ba enter ed into. The Lord's Sapper will be celebrated at the close of the Wednesday evening service. The condition of Mrs.E. Walda Jones, who is ill of fever, one mile from town, is soch as to cause her family serious concern. The nurse, Mibb Mackleberry, from Sarah Leigh Hospital, is a fever specialist who enjoys the enviable reputation of never hav ing lost a fever patient We hope her superior training may be ef fectual in this case also. Misses Lucy and Laura Allen and Ruby Fagge of the Seaboard State Hiflrh School facultv. loft Saturday morning for their re spective homes. While we miss them very much we are comfort ed by knowing thev will return in time for the fall opening of our school. Other schools may have as good teachers, but we boast of none possessing any bet ter. Glad to see Mr. Fred Weaver ! out again after being shut in a few days with chills. Never be fore, have we beard of so many and such violent chills at this season of the yea". 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, but as it would make a line much too long for this item, will say each one was welcome and we hope you enjoyed every mo ment of your stay and will come again. a m rvr i s a sr mr. wenaen Maaarey oaa a slight chill Saturday and another Monday that assumed a conges tive type.

Crocker, left Mon- dao for their home, Wilmington. One of the largest crowds that ever assembled in Seaboard came together last Thursday to witness the closing exercises of the Sea board State High School, which were held in the beautiful audi torium. The program was. by far, the most attractive ever pre 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 a very ntting speech. We would be glad to mention each number on the program as each deserves special mention! but it would make our report so long Editor Conner might consign the whole to the waste basket Suf fice it to say the past session has been an exceedingly good one, the best ever. The enrollment has been the largest in the history of the school , The department of music, under the direction of Miss Lucy Allen, has done fine vork and her pupils had impor tant plaaes on the program each night The failure of Mr. N.W. Walker, State Inspector of High Schools, to deliver the address on Thursday was a keen disappoint ment. A storm near Durham pre- USKEK NEWS. Death of Mrs. Arodl Draper Mr. J. T. Flylbe to Speak at M.

On Friday evening the ex ercises were concluded by two plays, one entitled "The Man Hater" the other 4 'Diamonds and Hearts.".
