Memorial Exercises In accordance wth a custom of some years standing, exercises in memory of the dead were TirlH SniMliiv iiftr i nmn in T irr A r rj nTitsear-Witii-AnAx Oak cemetery. as iiic uay was "Mothers Day" the exercises in cluded a tribute to mothers both living and dead. The services consisted of two excellent ad dresses by Reverends R. F. Bum pas and H. A, Day, and songs by a quartette composed of M. Les lie Davis, U. E. Swann, Grayden Paul and Reverend H. A. Day. There were several songs by a special choir and the Beaufort Graded School band rendered several very pretty selections. A good sized crowd was present for the occasion and all seemed to enjoy it T. C, Wade of Morehead City presided over the meeting: Just before the conclusion a collection was taken the proceeds of which, will be used in keeping up the grounds. Commissioner Suggested Editor of The News: It is very plain that in select ing our next Board of County Commissioners, we should choose men who know the needs of the ' County at large. They should know the condition of the roads in each section, and of the var ious bridges which must be look ed after by them; also they should have a good general idea as to the best and most economist way to keep these roads and bridges in good condition. Pos sessing such knowledge they would be able to save the tax payers many dollars, and at the same time give tle people good lines of communication. In short a commissioner should be a practical man. I believe Mr. Frank Small, of Sea Level, to be such a man. His business, a timherman, has made him fully acquainted with all parts of the countv, and he knows the value ot good roads, and also knows the worth of a dollar. Believing that I would make an efficient commissioner, 1 and many Others would be pleased if he should be nominated by the Republican party for that position. Citizen. Beaufort, May fOth.

SPEER HEAD Head Of Big Development Company Here Passes ; Away r . Word was received . here last Friday that George S, Speer of Chicago had died suddenly the night before. The news came by tslegraph to Julius F. Duncan who is the attorney of the Virginia-Carolina Farms , Company of which Mr, Speer was - the or ganizer and promoter. ' About three weeks ago Mr. Speer was here on a . business trip with some Chicago and Mem phis"capitalists and appeared , to be in good health and spirits. The announcement of his death was a great surprise and shock to his friends t here. Mr. Speer fWas about forty years of age and was a tall ' and robust looking man. He had the intellect of a keen financier and had the c6ur- age to stick to any thing that lie undertook. s ' Some four or five years ago Mr. Speer and his associates bought a large tract of land from the State. known locally, as the open grounds". There were nearly thirty thousand acres in the tract Since that time the company has been busily engag ed in the effort to drain the lands and develop and sell them. - In the face of many discourage ments Mf. Speer has gone ahead with his plana and recently - he srmed to be nearinsr the' end of his goal The end. has come but. noi in tne way ne ana ara incnun expected it N Nothing is known here yet as to what the company : wiu do with the development which it has started. The impression is though that too much money has been invested there to allow the thine to fall through -and that some one else will prooaoiy taite it in hand.
