Formerly the Carteret County Herald had six col umns. The Twin-City Herald is a nent little sheet. With its birth as a daily last Monday, we, The Beaufort News have tho distinction of being the only weekly published in Carteret county. iThe Beaufort News was born on Feb ruary 5, 1912, making it 24 years of age, five issues ago. TWIN-CITY HERALD uses the Pi-p news service. I have been their coastal correspondent for about eight years. You probably won dered how news you have heard over the radio in the early evening happens fr, hf, minted in the Herald by the same time. Editor Utley receives the news by telephone from Kaleign at 1 P. M. It comes by leased wire and is called in newspaper circles, 'pony service.' The man at this end takes the news down at the rate of about 150 words per minute. Carl Goerch editor of The State is one of the fast est 'pony receivers in North Carolina, Mr. Utley says.

Charlie Smith And Crew Caught This Seal This harbor or hairy ?eal was captured several days ago by Capt. Char lie Smith of Morehead City, and his crew of fishermen near Old Top sail Inlet. It was brought to the pool at the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries where the above photo was made during the l-ecent snow. The seal is quite gentle and many people have been to Piver's Island to see the lit tle fellow do all sort of antics in his new home. Last Friday while returning from Bogue Inlet coastguard station along the surf Capt. Tom Lar.ttt and Surf man George Moore caught another seal. It was also turned over to Dr. Prytherch, but apparently someone had previously shot fee animal because it livL'd only a short time. A ra dio newscaster announcing the capture of Capt. Barnett's seal said her name was Alice. Dr. I't-ythorch sent tho body of Alice to the N. C. Fish eries Freezing plant where it v:&a frozen and on Tuesday it was shipped to Hueh Davis at the Stuta nvj.-i'.ni in iialoigh.

The idivid- ual bids have been raised since the sale to exceed the bid as a whole, but it might be a good idea for indi vidual bidders to call on the hquidat intr aerent. for further raises on bids for individual items.
