Never a Miss Comforting it is in a year when frequent changes in addresses and other irregularities over which we have no control have caused some of our readers to miss an occa sional issue of The News to have Levi Keller of Newport, New Jer sey, write us that he has not miss ed a copy of his paper in a year.

Cpl. Billy Wells, USA, England writes, that he did not need a let ter from home to learn about Beaufort and "the storm." The news came out in a paper over there. i Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Willis of Davis received word Tuesday morning that their son, Capt. Eli jah Glover Willis, Chaplain, USA, has landed in Sar Francisco nfter two years in the .south Pacific and will be home shortly.

According to testimony Murray started in the store. James yelled, "Don't go in there," Mur ray resented his tone of voice, the scrap followed in which Murray's fice received a cut calling for six stitches. The two then tangled, went over in a ditch, "riz agen," went down again. James, 42, in an ' excited con tinuous flow of words told his story pointing an accusing index finger first at this one and then at that. He acknowledged that "Me and him tied up" . . . " I don't know how I cut him. I could of. I don't say I didn't. What I did I had to do quick to save mysef" . . . You take a dog and mass with him jes so much an' if he don' bite he will snap at you" . . , "That's a bad boy." Asked if he himself drinks, he said, "Not a drap in my mouf since I was in that trouble (shooting affair in Florida). Promised God and the Devil I wouldn't."

Dr. Prytherch, tops on any thing pertaining to the oyster, doesn't claim to be authority on the seal. He knows it is a different species from those of which two were brought to the Laboratory in the cold winter of 1936 and which have appeared at other intervals off our North Carolina Coast. II as he believes, it is a gray seal the incident is remarkable in that the gray seal has never been known south of Nova Scotia. To prove the matter conclusively, the Doc tor savs one must take a close look at the teeth. When approach ed closely, the visitor snaps and snarls in a way that does not in vite the necessary examination. The fact that he's not eating may keep his spirits from being roseate. Captain Charlie Hatsell tens us that a new dainty is to be otterta today which may tempt him. The seal is a fine, sleek, well nourished specimen and can af ford to go without food for a few days. He is dark gray with a soft licrht gray underside. When seen two days ago he was proudly silent looking at spectators with mean eyes that stared widely for a mo ment, he would then close his eyes and nostrils, dive and swim the length of the pool, come up and look the spectaors over again. He is on exhibit and any. seal spec ialist in the neighborhood can vis it the Island and make his own conjecture as to species. Preston Mason, USA, serving in France, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mason, was last week promoted to the rank of sergeant. Preston was awarded a Good CoTTcTuct Medal since the has been abroad. Capt. E. C. McConnell writes from Ft. McClellan, Ala.: "After many months of wandering to and fro across the continent. I am ap parently settled down for the "duration and six" here in Alaba ma. So l nave sent lor tne iamny and we want the Beaufort News sent here. Preliminary reports on the recent hurricane disturbtd us quite a lot as we envisioned a 30 foot tidal wave engulfing the whole area. We were greatly re lieved by later news that your worst harm was a lashing bv the wind. Severe as that may have been, we are thankful along with the rest of the community that n.) lives were lost." The appi oaching winter, accord ing to late t estimates, will find more thai 20,000,000 persona driven fro-a their homes by bomb ing and shelling.

The drug is used in solution and injected for treatment of menin gitis, pneumonia and empyema, peritonitis, and scores of other in fections.
