modern bridges, grows strong

Closing of Colored Graded School
The colored graded school, under
the principalship of Thos. Shields,
closed last Friday night, May 10th.
The exercises consisted of songs and
recitations by the pupils, which did
credit to the work of the teachers.
The main feature of the exercises
was an address by Prof. P. W. Moore,
principal of the colored Normal
School at Elizabeth City. The ad
dress was carefully prepared and
was well delivered. It dealt with
the necessity proper and safe leaders
for the colored race, and was rich in
suggestions along that line. Purity
of life, faithfulness to obligations
and conscientious discharge of duty,
wore some of the main features
dwelt upon in the address. It was
timely and will doubtless be fruitful
or good.
Such noble ideas as were held up
in the address should be inspiring to
any people, and the people to whom
they were presented in Scotland
Neck will surely profit by them.
Panama Canal Erie Canal.
Machinery is digging the Panama
Canal a thousand times quicker than
the shovel dug the Erie.
Machinery produces the L. & M.
Paint at 50 times less cost for labor,
than if made by hand.
The L. & M. gives the best job in
the world, because L. & M. Zinc
hardens L. & M. White Lead and
makes L. & M. Paint wear like iron
tor 10 to 15 years.
It only requires 4 gallons of this
celebrated paint and 3 gallons of
Linseed Oil at 60 cts per gallon, to
paint a moderate size house.
If any defect exists in L. & M.
Paint, will repaint house for noth
ing. Sold by E. T. Whitehead & Co.,

Governor Glenn Next Tuesday.
Governor Glenn will deliver the
address at the closing of the graded
school here next Tuesday.
The address will be at 11 o'clock,
a. m. It is not known at this writ
ing where tho place of meeting will
be, but a committee of the board of
trusteess of the school will arrange
for it.
The entire town and community
will welcome Governor Glenn and if
the day is favorable a large audience
will greet him.
Superintendent Wilson has been
fortunate in securing Governor
Glenn for the occasion, and he will
ask the merchants to close their
stores at the hour of speaking, as
they did on memorial day, so that
all may have an opportunity to hear
him.
There has been some inquiry as to
the hour when Governor Glenn will
speak, and so particular emphasis is
given that it will be at 11 o'clock
a. m. Let as many as possibly can
avail themselves of this opportunity
to hear Governor Glenn.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one w ay to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of t he mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
ilnmed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
mllamed condition ot the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred for any
use of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.
F. J. Chexey & Co., Toledo, O.
Hold by all Druggists 75c.
Take Hall's Family Tills for constipa
tion. Prof. Mills Greatly Pleased.
Capt. John Lamb's address be
fore the Confederate Veterans here
last week was so rich in historic de
tail concerning the Civil War that
Prof. L. R. Mills, professor of Math
ematics in Wake Forest College, or
dered a dozen copies of this issue of
The Commonwealth, which con
tains the address in full, to be sent
to the college library. He said he
wished them filed in the library for
the convenience of the students, as
the address gives certain intelligence
not published before.
So Glad Re Took It.
A good citizen in another part of
the county for whom the editor of
The Commonwealth about a year
ago wrote insurance in the Union
Central, writes now that he is glad
indeed that he took the insurance.
He says his health is very poor now,
and if he had waited perhaps he
would not have been able to get the
insurance at all.
If you need insurance you would
better take it at once. Your health
might fail also, and then the older
you grow the more it will cost you.
The Union Central offers insur
ance equal to any other and super
ior to many other contracts. It leads
in dividends to policy holders.
If you want a policy call on or
write me.
