PUBLIC LIBBART.
Women of Scotland Neck Supply this
Long Felt Need. You Should Help.
The long felt need of a public lib
rary In Scotland Neck is now a reali
zation, and thi3 by the grace and
effort of the noble women of our
town. Several years ago a Fiction
Club was organized for the purpose
of securing a number of good books
for the pleasure and elevation of
some of our women. They had only
one business meeting a year and $1.10
was contributed by each member and
books were bought and circulated
among the members. This Club
grew rapidly and about two years
ago the Club was organized into
two sections. The next year it grew
to four sections, or about one hun
dred members. At the close of the
year, with out especial effort to save
any money it was found that the or
ganization had on hand about $24.00,
and it was decided to Start, even
with so small an amount a public
library.
They realized the need of refer
ence books and a committee, consist
ing of Mrs. A. L. Purrington, Mrs.
R. C. Josey and Mrs. H. I. Clark,
were appointed to select some Suit
able reference book. This resulted
in the purchase of ten volumes of
the Encyclopedia Britannica, and
these volumes in addition to the
books already belonging to the Club
now form the nucleus to what is
soon to be a great public library for
the benefit of the citizens of our
town. The library is now in a room
at the graded school and arrange
ments will be made to have it open
for the present" two afternoons in
each week when books will be issued.
This is a great movement and
should be liberally supported by eve
ry citizen of our town. Contribu
tions of books or money will be glad
ly received and it i3 - hoped that
many books will be donated by the
citizens and that the library will be
greatly increased at once, Ihose
who have books to contribute will
please send them in at once, as the
Committee have on hand a small
amount with which to purchase
books and the book you will give
might be one that the Committee
would buy. This will prevent dupli
cating and give a larger variety of
good books.
The Round Table Club, will, at
end of its year, donate many good
books to the public library.

KUDEKOUS ASSAULT.
Divle Jones Deals a Blow to James
Mntts That Crashes Skull Both
Negroes.
James Mutts was struck over the
head with a wagon pin by Davie

crushed and he is still uncouscious
The negroes are both about twenty-
one years old and were at work in

Elect New Officers.
At the regular Monthly Confer
ence at the Baptist Church Sunday
morning Mr. E. E. Hilliard, who for
the past twenty-five years has been
the efficient church clerk, tendered
his resignation, this being made nec
essary on account of his failing eye
sight. Mr. Hilliard has served hi3 church
long and faithfully and it is a source
of great regret to his many friends
that he is now compelled to retire
from active service.
Mr. Hugh Johnson, a most cap
able young man was elected to suc
ceed Mr. Hilliard. At the same
meeting the resignation of Dr. R.
M. Johnson, who for the past
twenty-five years has been a faithful
deacon in the church, was accepted.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease:
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts dir
ectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall s Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun
try for yoaio and is a regulars prescrip
tion. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials free.
