NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPY. Two Boy Hunters Cause Great Anxiety and Bailie Searching Party. Bright and early Thursday morn ing Herman Bryan, age 12years,and Robert Nelson, age 14 years, went out on a hunting expedition. They harnessed an old blind mule and one with a rod of sasafras as a persuader and the other steering his course drove way down passed Palmyra in ':o Martin county. They hunted zeal ously all day with little reward save a weary body and tired feet and be fore they knew it nightfall had over taken them. They started for home but decided that if the old mule was as wary as they it would be too great a task to undertake without a night's rest and without fore thought of the apprehension and anxiety of the parents the bovs de cided to seek shelter and food and make the journey bright and early the next morning. They went to the home of Mr. Hoyt Moore who kindly crave them and their ass food and shelter and soon they were snugly snoozing awav dreaming of the great game they hunted for but never found. Night came but the little hunters stayed and about eight o'clock searching party of fifteen or twenty left Scotland Neck in buggies and on horseback to scour the country m an effort to find them dead or ve. The wood and the banks of White's Mill Pond in the direction which thev went was thnrmip-lv amped by the searching: nartv. The party had almost despaired of their effort when about 12 o'clock midnight thev stopped at Moore's home to enquire if the boys had been 7, TL . . 1 netrn. i. ne answer came, tney are here, but it ain't my fault. I was U8t taking care of them." Mr. Bryan and his older son who were in the party took the little Bryan lad and brought him home, leaving the little Nelson boy to finish his rest and follow the next morning with the mule. It would be hard to estimate the number of "lickings" that were 'allotted" to the boys as their dues but the brave little youngsters suc ceeded in convincing their rescurers that they had "done no wrong" and they could not understand why they should have been so alarmed. Most of the town was up until midnight awaitinjr the news and the reader can imagine their expressions when they learned the situation. Odd Fellows Meet. The district meeting of Odd Fel lows will be held in Scotland Neck to-day (Thursday, December 3rd).

Great Revival Ended.

His labors hpre were erreatly blessed. About one hundred conversions and recla mations were made. The Methodist church was greatly revived and stimulated and thirty-five new mem bers have been added. Seven new members have been added to the BaDti3t church as a result of the meeting. A great and lasting good to the whole town has been wrought onr? Mr P,rnwnincr leaves with the best wishes of all our people. At Episcopal Church. Rev. N. C.

OFFICERS MAKE RAID. Break up a Gambling Game Sunday Morning aod Make Oilier Arrests. Between three and four o'clock Sunday morning, night watchman Roberson called at the home of po liceman C. W.

To gether they went to the Cotton Oil Mill and in the office found the night watchman of the Oil Mill, Eugene Bishop, Dick Holmes and Frank White gambing with cards. They were arrested and carried to the home of Mayor White who re leased them to appear for trial on Monday. They turned up Monday and Mayor White fined them to the tune of about $30.00 each. Gus Hardy was arrested Saturday night for disorderly conduct and was fined $5.20. Sue Toodle and Mozora Anthony, a colored dame and damsel, were ar rested Monday and fined $5.00 each for engaging in a fisticuff Saturday night.

Mor risett Brothers, will regret to learn that they are to close their doors and retire from business after an honor able career of ten years in this city. They have been one of the foremost business houses in Scotland Neck and most enterprising citizens and the loss of two such public spirited gentlemen will be most keenly felt in this community. To a represen tative of this paper Mr. S. W. Mor. risett stated that this step had been in contemplation for some months and that now- that their plans had matured they were anxious to close up their business here as speedily as possible. The lease on their store expires January 1st, by which time they must vacate the building. They have called in the assistance of Messrs. Gilmore & Co., Brokers and Auctioneers, of New York, to aid them in winding up their business in a hurry and Messrs. Gilmore & Co., have assumed the management of the store and will place the stock on sale beginning Friday morning Dec. 4th. They have closed the store in order to mark down the stock and arrange it for sale and the doors will be thrown open to the public next Fri day morning to what promises to be the most sensational sale of merchan dise that has ever occurred in our midst. We regret to lose Messrs. Morrisett Brothers as citizens of Scotland Neck, and extend them our very best wishes for success in their new business. Drunk but Pursuaded. John Hardy, of Oak City, a white man of some "official record,' cre ated considerable excitement at the depot Sunday evening. He had ex changed suit cases with a young lady and refused to surrender it, where upon officer C. W. Dunn was called to pursuade him that he could not use the the ladies paraphenalia. He succeeded in this and after boarding the train and it was speed ing to its destination Hardy made brave and proceeded to "cuss" out the town in general. A warrant has been issued for Hardy and he will be brought back here to answer to the charge of disorderly conduct and using profane language. Before Grand Jury. A great number of citizens and business men of Scotland Neck and vicinity have gone to Halifax in res ponse to a summons to appear be fore the Grand Jury as witnnesses in the investigation of the charge of fraud in the recent election.
