The board seems to be dead in earnest about building good roads. Our Je7ish friends observed Yom Kipper, or the Day of Atonement, Monday. Among the orthodox Jews Yom Kipper is kept as a solemn fast and for twenty-fuur hours no food or drink or nourishment of any kind is allowed to pass the lips of the pious and observing Jew. The Kehukee Primitive Baptist Association met at Fiat Swamp Church in Pitt county Friday of last week and continued through Mon day. Quite a number of people from this section attended the as sociation. The next session will be he'd with the church at Norfolk, Va., in October, 1912. The top shelf on one side of Mr. J. W. Madry's store gave away with out warning Friday evening about five o'clook. No serious damage was done except the breaking up and scattering of shoes and shoe boxes. Mr. Lowe, one of the sales men, was working on that side of the store, when he heard a breaking and barely had time to make his escape. We call the attention of our read ers to the law card of Mr. Ashby Dunn, appearing in our column of professional cards on the front page of The Commonwealth. Mr. Albion Dunn, of Greenville, has re cently withdrawn from the law firm of Dunn & Dunn, leaving Mr. Ashby Dunn to continue tne practice of law alone.

Whitehead in the death of their 12 year old daughter, Cali fonia, which occured at their home near Spring Hill Wednesday a. m., Sept. 20th 1911 at 10 o'clock. She was taken with something like brain fever on Sunday and was sick only two days, although her sufferings were very great. But all was done for her that loving hands could do but it seemed all in vain. She was a member of Nahala church near Scotland Neck and was a very consistant member. She attended school regular and was bright and ant in all her studies. She leaves to i mourn her loss a devoted mother and father, a little brother and two half brothers. She was laid to rest by her sister, at Nahala. which pre ceeded her to the better land a few months ago. Rev. Moore, of Scot land Neck, conducted the services. May God comfort the bereaved family.

Clark has been buying for Garrett & Co. or Norfolk a great many of the lucious scuppernong grapes. In talking to our farmer friends here Monday we learn that there is quite a demand for cotton pickers and a very poor supply, many hav ing to offer an unreasonable price as an inducement. By cotton opening earlier than usual this season the work of harvesting can not be scat tered over an area of several weeks, it being necessary to work with greater dispatch, before damage takes place. In this locality chills have bobbed up without regard to subjects, and many are resorting to the usual panacea, quinine. There is less drinking water in town than usual, as many have trou ble with their wells, some even re fuse to give forth its fluid at all, and the deep well these days is the most popular place in town. Billy Neville, of Brinkleyville, was a visitor here Mouday, and a wel come one. Miss Pattie Shaw, of Tarboro, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Shaw last week.
