STARVATION BILL FAILED
DROWNED IN THE SURF.
fir. S. M. Bobbitt's Narrow Escape
in Going to the Rescue.
We learn from the Wilmington
Star that while some 20 persons were
bathing in ths surf at Ocean View,
below Wilmington, on Saturday, Mr.
. tj. JiiVans, ot W llmincrton, was
drowned. He yentured out too far
and not knowing how to swim he
called for help, and Mr. W. A. Dick,
who was near him, seeiug his peril,
gave the alarm and went, to Mr.
Evans' assistance. As he approach
ed, he said: "li.vans, keep your
head and I'll saye you." As soon as
Mr. Dick reached Mr. Evans the lat
ter put both arms around his neck
and they sank together, but wei'e
torn loose by the swell.
Mr. S. M. Bobbitt, of Wilson, went
to the aid of Mr. Dick and called for
a life line. Mr. Bobbitt then tried
to save Mr. Evans, but was torn
from him by the waves, and Mr.
Evans sank. Mr. W. W. Merrell
swam out with a life line but it was
too late to save Mr. Evans. Mr.
Dick took the life line and swam to
Mr. Bobbitt who was nearly exhaust
ed, passed the line around his waist
and with the assistance of Mr. Mer
rell pulled him to the shore. The
tide was then coming in and shortly
afterwards the body of Mr. Evans
was thrown upon the beach by the
waves.

The old reliable firm of Bullock &

the Banner Warehouse, are ready
and anxious to sell primings and all
new tobacco. They say so in an
advertisement elsewhere in this
paper. Some one has given it out
that they do not want to sell prim
ings, which was an awful slip of the
tongue to say the least of it, as they
are selling them daily at the highest
market prices, as well as all grades
of new tobacco.
This firm is well "heeled" with the
money and propose to sell all the
tobacco that can be crowded on their
floors daily, and at "high rafter"
figures.
The Oxford market stands deserv
edly at the head of the list as the
best all round tobacco market in the
State, and our buyers always pay
the top of the market on all grades.
When you get your tobacco ready
come to Oxford and sell it with Bul

pleased.
Death of W. ii. Smith, Esq.
After a lingering illness of more
than a year, the venerable and be
loved W. H. Smith died on Tuesday,
in the 75th year of his age, at his
home near Tar River Academy. He
was for many years a most faithful
magistrate, taking a deep interest in
the affairs of the county. Truly this
community has by his death lost one
of its brightest christian lights and
an honored Mason.
He was a most exemplary chris
tian, father, husband, neighbor and
friend, endeavoring constantly to
help others to a better life and
greater usef ulness.
He was buried at Enon church,
where he held his membership, which
was marked by a faithful, consistent
christian course by the Masonic
fraternity, of which he had been an
honored member for some 50 years.
We extend to the bereaved ones
our warmest sympathy in their sore
bereavement.

On our return we stopped at our
old friend William Pleasants' for a
short time and found that he was in
the midst of curing the golden weed
and had gotten it down fine on white
wrappers, and was as happy as a
boy in his teens. He is not only a
success at raising fine tobacco but
fine watormelons as he gave us one
that weighed 45 pounds.
It made our hearts feel good to see
such fine crops in this part of Gran
ville, and we hope that nothing may
come along to blight the bountiful
prospects.
We noticed near Hester that our
friend, Mr. Hal Hester, is erecting
a nice residence on his fine farm.
