GIVES A MUSICALE Last Friday evening Mrs. James S. Gutsell was a charming hostess at a musicale at her home on Craven Street.. For the occasion Mrs. Outsell presented to her many Beaufort tVianrla t.wn urtists. Mrs. I. Li. ADer nethy Jr., and Mrs. John Guion of New Bern. These two musicians are well-known in Beauofrt, as well as m the State. They gave to the music lovers of Beaufort an evening of great enjoyment, and one that will long be remembered. Mrs. Abernethy and Mrs. Abernethy and Mrs. Guion were house guests of Mrs. J. K. Hin tinnt. who entertained for them in formally immediately following the musicale. Work started this week on the Da vis House property which will make that well known hostelry more at tractive than it has been in a long time. E. W. Guthrie of Morehead City has the contract for the job. Earnest Waters of Beaufort is doing the concrete work. A concrete sea wall, running fif ty feet south and 100 feet west, is being constructed. This will be filled in with dirt and considerable new land will be made as a result. One of the cottages on the waterfront was damaged during a recent storm and has been torn down. The other will be repaired and a bath room added to it. Considerable work will also be done on the main building of the Da vis House.
