)L. VIII.— is, THAI j 1 itiiU 14 (MR ■ B> MRS. IHEO. B. DAVIS til H ■Some prayer-books have a special ■tition for “those that go down to sea in ships,” and last week it Honed to me it might be well for Mt milar prayer to oe made for those W'•> g'o down to the sound in trains. I! \the Norfolk-Southern has a ■'•te/i of track across Albemarle! pX'd, ■ —had even crossed it twice —,| , d n t r membered its length, nor B seeming depth of the water below. I nd it is six miles that passengers fide above the rippling swells of the found—slow, careful miles that have ■ pace for considerable thinking. B Another unusual feature of this Mde is the fact that sea gulls swoop! ffiul circle around the train as it biceps along. These birds have for ears been given scraps of food by *he train crew and passengers who; now their habits, and follow every •rain that passes, waiting on one side * the next train and crossing with t. They pick up food from the sur- I ace of the water. * Most sea gulls are white and gray lue or slaty gray, but one of these as brown, and the largest and dark-1 st 1 ever saw. As I was looking at m I heard a man a few seats back ,f me say to another man: “I bet that big old brown fellow is thirty ears old; for 1 know 1 have been feed :n' him for twenty-one years’. In a last week’s magazine Carolyn Veils, well known writer, says that her physicians have told her she has j nly two years to live. She speaks of the effect this announcement has hadi ,pon her, and asks that others tell her what they would do, it they, too, had only two more years of life. And; I’ve been thinking about it. Person-, ally, I believe that one thing I’d do: would be to get together some burial | clothes. Experience has taught me; that it is a harrowing ordeal to have! to go searching through the belong-; ings of a dead neighbor, hunting for; garments suitable for the body’s last 1 clothing. I should like to spare myj neighbors that trouble, if it should so, i,e that my folks were not here to see; to it. And I should try to have the sew-1 ing and mending done for as long a time ahead as possible, that the fami ly might be presentable until the nec essary adjustments might be made. I'd try to have enough canned goods : .nd preserves put away for daily meals to be prepared as easily as possible for some time. I should certainly put my desk in order and clean out my bureau drawers. And I should probably not worry so much when chickens or stray dogs scratch up niv flowers. My disposition might i„. better —but I don’t know. It will, robably irritate me on my dying bed,' 1 hear anybody pop gum or crack strawberry seed. I might try to make; myself over into a noble character; but in that case the strain would robably shorten my time to less than | iwo years. And I should doubtless eep hoping that the doctors didn t know what they were talking about when they numbered my days. What would you do? And, after au. not one of us is sure of even two years. Woman’s Club Department Meeting of Woman's Club The Civic, Literature and Music Departments of the Woman's Club of Zebulon met on Tuesday afternoon at the clubhouse. Mrs. T. B.

H. S. Chamblee Burned Death News comes to Zebulon that on tun day evening 11. S. Chamblee, who ; lived about seven miles from here in' the Rocky Cross community was carried home drunk. Those carrying! him, built a fire and placed him be fore it and left. Later in the night the house was found to be on fire and when the fire had burned out, his skull, heart and pieces of bones were found in the fire place. Chamblee was a man about 45 years old and lived alone. Rumor is that the position of the bones indicate that his body was placed in the fire place and the house set on fre. It is sup posed that some one knocked him on the head and then fired the house to cover the crime. The motive is pre sumed to have been robbery. Third Biscuit Causes Fatality In Randolph County a supposedly mysterious shooting has been ex plained by the survivor.

He was taken to Randolph Hosptal for treatment. He has stated that he and his cousin became angry over who should have the third bis cut. which were all that were cooked, for their lunch. The quarrel resulted in the shooting and one boy’s death. Pitt County took first prize in the; use of rat poison in the recent cam-1 paign to du •<■ the rat population of J this State.

Hast thou no pride, no pity, no Listerino But Lan celot needed no Listerino, for she had breathed her last breath—So I opened I the gilded portal that once had been ■ the door of the most noble of nobles and crawled slowly forth into the cold, cruel world Gently but firmly I grasped what once were the handles of her hood, and lifted the cover to an approximate heighth of sixteen inches more or less, thence west thir teen chains, twenty minutes to a stake in the corner of O’Quin’s pasture.
