SEABOARD LOCALS. General sod Personal News Items Gathered About Town and vi cinity. Mr. J. H Garris, after spend ing three days here in the homes of Messrs.JV. T. Norvell and W. R. Vick, returned to his home, Roanoke Rapids, the past Sun day. Miss Virgie Bottoms and little sister returned to their home, Margarettsville.the past Sunday, after a pleasant visit to relatives here. .We are sorry to report Mrs. Anna Long and Mr. Willie Nor veil sick the past few days. Mrs. Robert S. Gay and son Payge, Gumberry.were welcome guests of her cousin, Mrs. Jno, W. Leake, the past Sunday. Under the skilled nursing of Miss McElderry, of Sarah Leigh Hospital, Mrs. Walda Jones, who4 life was despaired of tea days ago, is now slowly convalescing. We feel sure this will be very gratifying news to anxious rela tives and friends here and else where. Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Barnes and little son Bailey, Gumberry, spent Sunday in town, esteemed guests of her sister, Mrs. R. M. Mad drey. Rev. M. Y. Self filled his 4th, Sunday evening appointment with his M. E. church here, as usual. At the conclusion of a very good sermon he announced true throughout the summer the hour for evening service! would be 8:80 instead of eight as hereto fore. Surely everybody can be on time in future. It must be very annoying to have people coming in after services begin. Messrs. Robert Long, Matt Ste phenson and Bailey Maddrey were attracted to Jackson by some of its fair daughters the past Sunday evening. Thev en deavored to side track us by hav ing us believe thev were going over to hear one of Dr. North's fine sermons, but we have since learned better. Sunday was an ideal day so numbers of our town's folks were away from home; some went to Mt. Carmel to hear a good ser mon by pastor Lloyd Parker.oth- ers tcTSunday School at Pruden's Spring, while still others were spending the day with friends in the country. Mesdames W. T. Norvell and mother, M. A. E. Garris, accom panied by Miss Pearl Norvell, will leave Tuesday for a visit to the family of Mr. John Ivey.Law renceville, Va., and also attend the closing exercises of the school there. Doubtless they will enjoy their outing to the fullest extent. Miss Eva foster entertained a party her friends at a birth day dinner at her pleasant home, one mile from town, the past Sun day. The bill of fare consisted of all the good things of the sea son and everybody spent an en joyable day. It hoped she may have many happy returns of this festive occasion. Miss Lillian Jones left Sunday for Portsmouth where she will consult an oculist and have glass es adjusted. Miss Jones has been wearing glasses for years, but her eyes have recently been giv ing her added trouble. We hope for her great relief from this trip, t - Mr. Herman Lassiter. who is taking a course in pharmacy at the University College of Medi cine, Richmond, Va., is at home for the summer. j Mr. Walter Hancock, who was! so seriously injured by a run away ox last November and had to spend months in a hospital in Suffolk, was on Our streets Satur day and so recovered as to be able to navigate without the aid of crutches or cane. The sym pathy of the community was his in his Bufferings, likewise every body is rejoicing to know he will soon be himself again. Mr. Garland Grubn and wife left Sunday for Suffolk, after spending a week in his home here, which is being thoroughly renovated and repainted. We hear tbey will soon make this their permanent home. This section was treated to a copious rain last Fridlv night, t hp first rain of any consequence in two months It thoroughly soaked the land and will be worth thou sands of dollars to the farmers, who were growing exceedingly anxious about their stands of cot ton and peanuts. Mrs. Land (nee Miss Velna PopeT with her husband are spending some days in the home of her cousin, Mr. C. R. Parker. After the bridal trips have ended they will reside in Hamlet, N.C.. where Mr. Land is doing a thriv ing business. The manv friends of this accomplished youog brid will join us in wishing for hrr many years of wedded bl;ss. The Seaboard Baptist church have purchased a handsome church bell which our folks will please heed as it announces the hour of Sunday School every Sun day morning. We are always hunting for excuses and the ab sence of a bell, for some month, has been -the prime excuse -for much tardiness at services. We congratulate the church on re moving this excuse and also upon having the gasoline lights re paired and purchasing lamps to be called into use if to gasoline lights should prove refractory again in future. We were pleased to see upai our streets Monday, Mr. Jno. P. Holoman, Rich Square and Jno. Buff aloe, Jackson. The former was here in the interest of the Hupmobile he is selling, the lat ter writing insurance. Both in formed us they were coming arain soon, so we judge our peo ple must have treated them kind ly. - Miss Eunice Drewitt, eldest daughter of Mr. Geo. Drewitt, was happily married in Suffo'k, Va., some ten davs ago to Mr. Maudsley of Washington, D C They have recently paid a visit to relatives in this section. We hope for them a life of jor and prosperity. This item was in tended for last week's news let ter, but unfortunately failed to be put in the enveloo with oth?r news notes. Not Surprised. Statesville Landmark To Bro. Johnson, of Clarity and Children and Bro. Gar of the Statesville Landmark: Yju wouldn't believe it, we knov,nut we saw the expression, "the in fant child," , used in the local columns of a North Carolina pa per, a few days ago. We suppose the next thing will be a widow woman. " Concord Tribune. No surprise here. They still talk about the "infant child," "little tots," "widow ladies," etc.; while "has a bright future before him" is more common still. They think it necessary to explain that one's future is be fore him and not behind him.

Was Greatly Enjoyed and Largely Attended-Address by Hon. F. D. Winston. The sixty-fifth commencement of Chowan College was a notable event in the historv of this greit institution. The weather was ideal, the campus was in its glory, the addresses were strong and stimulating, and the audiences were large and enthusiastic. On Saturday, May 17, occurred the exercises of the graduating class. Not the least interesting of these exercises was the class song, a brilliant take-off on the eccentricities of the faculty. The class of 1913 is composed of eleven members. This generous and loval class presented three gifts to the college: a one hun dred dollar fountain, a row of umbrella trees, and a pledge of three dollars each for five years on the endowment fund. Commencement Sunday is one long ti be remembered because of the sple idid music by the scu dent body aid because of two ex cellent sermins by R-jv. Q C. Davis. The text of tha powerful Baccahureate sermon was "Great U tny faith " Tftis was applied to nan in her intellectual life, j her political life and her spiritual life. In illustration of each of these points wera given the strik ing characteristics of certain Bib- rlical women. Toe theme of the Missionary sermon at night was the ''Missionary Motives." 'Monday, May 19, was given up to the Art Display, which at tracted no little a:tention, and tD the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees. The great problem of the trustees was how to pro vide for the pr spective increased attendance in the fall. It was decided to go before the two; Ciwan ssociatioas an-J before; the other Baptists of the State ana as it cor a ugv.mg plant, a lauhdrv and a dormitorv. In the meantime in order to meet an8ratitude for their services and emergency, it was determined to 1 achievements, but if their true raise twenty-five hundred dollars immediately for a cottage to ac commodate sixteen boarders. Several members of the Board subscribed one hundred dollars each towards this building. The President's report to the Board hm tHar rka mir, hori been full, that current expenses H"?

A pleas ant feature in connection with the meeting of the Board was the presence of Miss Carrie L. McLean, of Chirlotte.the found er of the Faanie Knight Loan Fund. Oi Tussday morning. May 20, the commencement exercises pro per took place in the chapel. The Baccalaureate address was de livered by the Hon. Francis D. Winston of Windsor. His theme was Woman end Democracy. The address was a masterly and con- vincing presentation of the vital question as to the proper place of womanin ademocracy.

He would deprecate, however. the loss of her present position of power and influence Among the medals presented was the medal for excellence in Bible study, founded by the speaker of the day in honor of his friend, Rev.

It is most, natural and fitting that "Mother's Day" is rapidly taking its place throughout the therhood in general, to all good mothers in particular. Special offerings of love are tendered to the mother in rur homes, and her favorite flower is worn as a mark of honor. If mother has gone on ahead to the "home over there," then the tributes of love are paid in her name to some lonely, sor rowing, needy mother who is sought out on Mother's Day that she may be made glad for nt least one bright moment There are strong sons and daughters all through this land, and in other land, doing the work of the world, carrying on aggressively its reforms.conquer ing its evil and good, advancing its civilization, carrying the blessings of purer, nobler, kind j uer iivjng jnto tne darij 8iums 0f ;our dtiea and into the remote icornera of the earth.

Tbey Fly at Night aod Cover Great Distances Without a Stop. (Boston Dispatch to tha New York Sun.) Wilson H. Fay, one of the as sistants at the State ornitholo gist's office in the statebouse.has one or two little things on the moon which are not commonly known. The way he has put himself. he says, in that advantageous and wholly desirable position is by peering through a powerful telescope from the Harvard ob servatory at the myriads of mi grating birds which nightly cross in transit between the man and the girl in the moon- Naturally the crossing is in the darkest hour, which is alleged to come just before dawn. "Birds in migration naturally follow river basins, coa3t lines, or mountain ranges," said Mr. Fay. "Now in April is the time to observe them flying north. Even with opera glasses from the top of a mountain one can see them against the moon. I have on rare occasions seen them .vith the unaided eye. With tel escopes from the Harvaid obser vatory is the best of all, of course. "What's the reason they work at night while we are all asleep? It's this way: Crows, bluejays, owls, hawks, and other preda cious birds migrate by day. The little fellows such as purple finch es, yellow warblers, ground rob ins, or chewinks, chestnut-aided warblers, goldfinches, and vireoa select the night because thus they escape being preyed upon. "On nights when there is a f.)g,'' went on Mr. Fay, "the birds fly .still lower and a muffled rumb e can be heard like distant thunder i he distance they cover r these migrations U stupendous. It is nothing for pi jver to i tur ney as much as 3,500 mil s. And rice birds coming from the S"'i re in a very brief rimp are found 500 miles north in Naw York city with und'gested rice in their atomachs. "I wish you might come with me next week. I am going to some of the . lighthouses in the harbor. The migrating birds are creatures of habit. They will not deviate from their course. So they go up agairst the light houses. Why, before they pro hibited the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor being lit up every night, I have foun d w it1! ernithologists the most beautiful specimens of birds floating in the water beneath on the following morning with broken wings. '-The Washington Monument is an unhappy obstacle for mi grating birds. And the statue of William Pennon the Witherspoon building in Philadelphia is an other place. In their flight they batter against the brim ol 'Penn's hat In some ways it is a good deal like a belfry." Rot His Honor. Chief Justice Isaac Russell of the Court of Special Sessions tells how he went to the city hall to call on the mayor on a rainy day, . and as he was leaving the build ing he slipped and bumped all the way down the stone steps, say the New York Sun. A man rushed up, helped him to his feet and asked: "Is your honor hurt?" t "No," replied the iudge, Vmy honor remains intact, but mv spine Beems to be jarred." ..
