There were several very heavy rains here last, week, but the downpour on Friday morning was pronounced by many as the heaviest rain they had ever seen for the length of time. Dr. M, T. Savage said he was on the train soming frcm Norfolk, and he thought it the heaviest rain he had ever seen. A Dry Weather Commissions The reply which one of the town com missioners made to a lady's inquiry Saturday indicates that our "city fath ers" have at least occasional requests concealing drainage. Being near on8 of tho tc-wn commissioners, we heard a :ady nsk him : "Mr. are you one f the town commissioners?" He re plied : "Yes, in dry weather." All the same there ought to be a little more attention paid to the proper drainage A the town. Moved Here From Lewistox. Mr. Andrew Hancock has moved his family here from Lewiston. He has rented the hotel on Depot street known as the, Camp Hole!, recently occupied by Mr. J.E. Woolard. Mr. Hancock and his ;ood and interesting family are wel ;omed by the people of town who are -lad to have them come. He will keep rhe hotel open for the public. A Day of Auction Sales. Last Saturday was a day of many auction ales in Scotland Week. A number of md some horses, belonging to the estate of the late M. 3. Cooke, were sold at auction ; and besides there' were a dozen or so mort gaged mules &nd horses sold in the same vay. Some of them were well sold and i52ie went cheap. Nose Better. Mr. A Johnson, ed:tor"of Charity and Children;p'ublish jd at the Baptist Orphanage at rhoraasville, ppent a Sabbath in Scot land Xeck recently. In au editorial irticle concerning his visit here, among other things he said : "If ther-3 is a town cf finer, more gentle, or courteous people in ths 5tate or out of it, we have not seen it." Eccky Mount Laundry. Atten don is called to the advertisement cf Aiq Rocky Mount steam laundry. The vork has given entiro satisfaction to ill who have sout laundry from Scot land Neck through the agent here, Mr. John W. House. He emphasizes the fact that special work is done on lace ourtains and ladies' shirt waists. In fact every thing returns in first class jhape ana all customers are pleased. Logical Suggestion. "After years of bitter experience, including bank ruptcy, I learned the value of adver tising," says Mr. C. C. Shayne, the largest fur merchant of New York. 'I discovered that the road to success is through judicious advertising. I belieye in advertising, arid I think that if -10 worth of newspaper space pays, if 15 worth will pay better; if 125 worth pays, $50 worth will pay better and so on until your business caches such a magnitude that you jannot supp'y the demand. Even ibeu it is not good policy to quit ad vertising". Philadelphia Record. Death of Mrs. James L.. Staten. CANT KEEP IT SECRET. Mrs. James L. Stalea died at her home near town last Sunday, November 2, 1902, at 5 :30 o'clock, p. m., aged about 05 years. She left a husband, four ao.ia and two daughters. The remains were in ferred in the Baptist cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev. J. C. Jones conducting the services. Mrs. Staten had been a great sufferer for several months, buf had been confined to her bed for only about sixteen days. Ot hers beside her immediate family are deeply affected by het death, aad the entire community sympathizes with her bereaved husband and children in this their sorest trial' and aillictiou. She had received every care at the hands of her loving husband and others, hut .vheu the summons came -ther3- was nothing here to stay its power, and so the good wife and mother and friend has a place with those who live here ,-:o more forever.

Culloin, teacher of the Bible in Wake Forest College, spoke in the Baptist church here Sunday morning on Ministerial Education. lie made a strong presentation of the J subject and a most effactive appeal for in educated Christian ministry. At uight he preached a very able and help ful sermon from the text : "All things work together fyr good to them that love God." The sermon was logical, clear and impressive and to those who had not known it before, marked Mr. Cullom as a preacher of rare power. Killed Mules and a Horse, - In last week's issue it was stated that Dr. Tait Butler, Stale Veterinary Sur geon from Raleigh, had just come to Scotland Neck to diagnose a disease among tho horses here. He pronoun ced it glanders, and soon afterwards Mr. J. A, Kitchin had two or three mules killed and Mr. A. P. Kitchin had a fine mare killed. The disease is such that when a horse is once attacked by it he seldom if ever recovers from it. So Dr. Butler advised that the best thing was to kill Those that were eick. Good care is being' taken with the stables in which these horses were keDt. Dr. Butler instructed that the stables should be kept la strict quarantine for at least sixty days. Up to the present writing there have been no new cases reported. There seems to have gone out an exaggerated report that the sales stables here have lost mules and horses. This is untrue. Neither Prince & Co.. nor Biggs & Johnson have lost any horses or mules. Delegates to Sunday-School Convene tian. LaGKIPPE QUICKLY CURED. "In the winter of 1399 I was takn down with a severe attack of what is called LaGnppe," says F. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist, of Win field, 11!. "The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. It broke up the cold and stopped ine cougnmg like magic, and I have neyer since been troubled with gripp." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can al- ways oe aepenaea upon to break up a severe cold and ward off any threaten ed attack of pneumonia. It is pleas ant to take, too, which make3 it the most desirable and one of most popular preparations in use for these ailments. For sale by E. T. Whitehead & Co. Plant Bed on Mam otreet.
