This being the first game of the season not much was expected of it, but to the surprise of all it proved to be far beyond our expectation, the score being 8 to 0 in favor of Scotland Neck, Exceedingly good work was done by Mr. Dick Holmes, who pitched the whole game. Mr. Holmes, or Dick as he is generally called by his friends, is captain of the first nine of this place which played Hamilton Tuesday. Good work was also done by Lawrence, Hamilton's catcher. The manager for Scotland Neck team this year is Mr. K. House, who it is thought will make a most com petent manager. The following composed Hamil ton's team: Lawrence, c; Jones, 3b.; Darden, ss.; Grimes, 2b.; Barnhill, lb.; Mar tin, r. f.; Sherrod, 1. f.; Matthews, c. f.; Peelevp. batteries.

"Entered into the life eternal on the morning of the fourteenth, at her home in Washington, N. C, Josephine Nicholls, wife of the late Whitmel Hill,' in the fifty second year of her age. Born in Plymouth, N. C, a daughter of the late Jehu Nicholl3, she went with her father when quite a child to Scotland Neck, where the family made their home. Amid most happy environments she grew to womanhood, a bright and joyous girl. Marrying Mr. Hill, a man of honor, ability and integrity, her life flowed on in peaceful happi ness, but "Into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary'God's finger touched her husband and he slept, and "the hopes of her youth fell thick in the blast," but with an unwavering trust she lived for her children and those with whom she came in contact. She was a faithful church woman, a devoted wife and mother, a true and loyal friend. The last year of her life was one of great suffering, made beautiful by the tender devotion of her children and her patient fort'- tude and faith that the Master doeth all things well. All that medical skill and constant.watchf ul care could do was given her, but weary of earth, she fell asleep, leaving the hearts of those who loved her filled with tears. "Mrs Hill, with her children, has for the past few years made Wash ington her home and has won many friends during her short residence here. Sadly, with aching hearts they bore her back to the home of her eirlhood, there to sleep in the ehtiHnw nf the church she loved so wpIL awaiting the , Resurrection Morn. "Mrs. Hill leaves three daughters, Misses Nannie and Mary Hill, and Mrs. Jack Nichollson and one son, Mr. Charlie Hill. She also has sev eral brothers and sisters." .i . .i-ow. AU. DRUGGISTSs SOe.
