A handful of guests from the hotel at Snow Hill Wednesday morning started out to walk to the depot, Bt ross town to catch the early train, because the town's hack driver had not waked up to get on the job. Real estate men with a donkey used for advertising purposes headed the pro cession straggling along in the chill air over frozen roads. The donkey, when the party came to u ditch made fordable by a crust of ice, refused to cross, and then trouble brewed thick and fast. In the midst of the excite ment a lady traveling for perfume manufacturers fell into the diU'h. The whole outfit ultimately mude the sta tion after "Dogwood," that being the donkey's name, had been literally dragged across the ditch.

KINSTON IS IN GOOD . : i HEALTH! NO EPIDEMICS Pr, George Komegay, city physi cian,' declares the city's health is bet ter thn at any time during his in cumbency. , There are no epidemics prevalent, except a few cases of mumps, which are of a mild order. There 'is no typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria or other contagious dis eases, 'so far as Dr. Komegay knows, although his reports from physicians have not been as complete as they might be. There has been no recur rence pf the smallpox which for the past two or three winters raged, for months increasingly, in the city and county, the city physician suggests as one reason that Kinston has for self congratulation. WHOLESALE BUSINESS i, FOR THE PARSONS. Five marrisge licenses have been is sued by the register of deeds in about thirty hours' time. The number is unusual for such a short period, even at the holiday season. Those licensed were: -White: James N. Parker, ID, Readers are claiming the entire edi tion of the New Modern English 11 lustrated Dictionary just as fast as the railroads can deliver the output of the publisher's printing presses to the office of The Free Press. Six certificates clipped from consecutive issues and a small expense bonus turns the trick. Those who planned the educational opportunity offered in the dictionary distribution are pleased with the ready response and indorsement re ceived. The better class of people think ers who have helped and are helping to make Kinston a synonym for prog ress have called at the Dictionary Department during the past two days. They have nothing but praise for the dictionary and for the newspaper which offers it So great is the demand from the more fastidious for the beautiful flex ible leather bound dictionaries that the stock was exhausted. Fortunate ly a supply had been held in reserve and a second distribution of the cov eted copies was commenced and the Dictionary Department looked almost like a bargain counter crush. To look and listen during the dis tribution reminds one of the barker's yell of " "Look, pee-pul. I want you to notice the heads of those who pass in to see our big show. Notice the heads of those who buy tickets they have the broad brows of thinkers." Those who came to get the flexible leather-bound dictionaries told of the efforts 'being made by others to sell their "just as good" dictionaries. Our advice is to peruse the display adver tisement on another page of this is sue and remember that this is a mod ern edition, fresh from the presses, with all the new words in it, and that j any other dictionary of similar sine ! must suffer by 'utt'j'U'tfJ and to realize that the present edition, large as it is, must become exhausted if the ' present rate of demand keeps up.

It all came about because Jim Youngblood, formerly of Kinston, a railroad la borer, invited all the members of his race for several miles around to a party in his box-car shanty. Jack Johnson, also formerly of this section, and another North Carolina negro, named Black, were among the guests. Several months ago Johnson had at tempted to kill Black, and at the par ty Black reminded Johnson of the fact, seized upon a double-cdc;ed axe and plunger it into the latter's head. Johnson leaped to one side, and that action, according to United Press re ports, saved his life. He has a ter rible four-inch gash on the top of his head, but will recover.
