O. L. WETHERINGTON THOUGHT
ANIMAL WAS A LARGE
RAT.
These cool, crisp wintry nights are
fine for' 'possum hunting and during
the past few weeks there have been a
number of parties out in search of these
animals.
O. L. Wetherington, proprietor of
the Neuse Grocery Company, located
on Lower Middle street, is of the
opinion that it is unnecessary for him
to tramp all over the country at night
in search of 'possums when he can catch
them right inside of his place of business.
To prove that he has done this, Mr.
Wetherington yesterday afternoon ex
hibited to Journal reporter a nice, fat
specimen of this breed of the animal
kingdom which was captured in his
store last Sunday afternoon.
For more than a week Mr. Wether
ington had noticed that sacks of sugar
and other similar contents of the store

S Frank C. Pettway, of this city,
the contractor who erected the central
school building at Thurman in Town
ship No. 7, yesterday turned the build
ing over to the school committeemen.
This school was opened several days
ago, but at that time the work was not
completed. However, this did not delay
the teachers from conducting the classes
in the usual manner.
Three large busses which will be usedl
in carrying the pupils to and from
their homes and the school building
have been ordered, but these have not
arrived yet and several of the residents
of that section have loaned their wagons
to be used for this purpose until the
busses arrive.
The school committeemen are very
much pleased with Mr. Pettway's
work and commended him for the in

SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOTS
TO BE PLACED ON
MARKET.
Several days ago lots in "Woodrow
Place," New Bern's newest resi 'ential
suburb, were placed in sale. At that
time a large number of these lots were
disposed of, but there were a number
of desirable places left and the owners
of the property have decided to hold
another big sale.
This will take place on December
17 and will be conducted by the
famous Penny Brothers who are so
well known in this section. The owners
of the property are planning to get
together one of the largest cro ds
ever assembled at a sale of this kind
and are going to give awiy, absolutely
free of charge, a large touring car.
There are many New Bernians
who would like to own a "benzine
buggy" and this will be their opportun'
ity to get one without the least cost.
