I As the bright hues of infant life, j Sank slovly into gloom. We stroke the little sinking cheek, The forehead pale and fair, We kissed the small round mouth 10 minutes and every ,one enjoyed it greatly. Mr. Rose then announced j The death-f rost through her clay, i Stole slowly and in a moment The hiah school waSiplasantly sur prised Wednesday morning when .Vliss Ev Moore and ler rade gave a play entitled "Thanksgiving on the neighboring towns of like class sloiig-Hparm". ; It covere ahtut u space of the lines of municipal improvements might stimulate interest I hand you he following information. Ayden, population about 1300, Taxable valuation" about $700000 is spending $50000 on waterworks, sewerage and lights. Tneir total in debtedness is $60000. Farmville population about 1500. Taxable values about $1,000,000. In stalling sewers. Their total expen ditures for water, lights, and sewers will be $80000. Hertford, population about 2000. Tax values about $700000, is spend ing $50000 on water, lights and sew ers. Plymouth, bopulation 2500 has re cently voted $30000 for water and sewers. All these towns are near Scotland Neck about the same size but in my estimation Scotland Neck is larger and more abie to make the improve ments than any I have mentioned. Of interest to everyone is the sav ing in insurance which amounts to that there would be no school Thurs day as ft was Thanksgiving day but that school would start again on Fri day. V Mr. Rose, Miss Thompson, and Miss Smitlj went to Raleigh to attend a teachers' meeting Wednesday. Mr. Chailie Josy was a substitute in Miss Bryan's place. We enjoyed his teahing very much as he was our first male teacher this year. The seinor cla?s serenaded the school Wednesday morning and every one enj yed it greatly, j The ninth and tenth' grade had a surprise party for the senior class and we enjoyed the grape, candies, ap ples, and "Cracker Jack" popcorn. The different prizes furnished much amusement. The seniors received their invitation by special delivery. The High Shcool had an interesting game of Basket Ball Thanksgiving day when the Reds played the Blues. The ones tak5ng par,t were Evelyn a leduction from $1.50 basis rate for , Kitchin, Anni McDowell, Gertrude brick mercantile establishment to ' Dunn, Mary Tiliery, and'lone Kitchin SO per cent on the $1.00 a saving cf on one side and Teresa Hopkins, 40 per cent..

The score was twenty and six saving alone is sufficient to pay the in favor of the Reds, although it was More our belove darling, Sweetly passed away. Farewell with weeping hearts we said, Child of our love and care, And we ceased to kiss those lips, For Call'e was not there. But years a:e moving quickly past, And time will soon be o'er, Death will be swallowed up in life, On that immortal shore. There shall we clasp that hand once more, And smooth that pretty hair: Then shall we kiss those lips again, When Callie shall be there. Her loving friend, PATTIE LEWIS. We are Prepared for your interest on the bunds. Thfe value of water and sewers can not be estimated in dollars and cents but the statistics of the State Board of Health convincingly show the death rate from Typhoid and Diar raheal deseases is considerably lower in towns that have water and sewer age. Aside from insurance savings and protection from fire, wuter and sew ers promote better living conditions increase tne sen respec oi tne indi viduals and makes abetter town and citzenship. The demand for bonds is greater at this time than in several years and the town cn effect a material saving j by financing the work now Construction material can be bought lower that future prices pre dict every tndiauon pointing to high er prices. The Board will consider calling an electi-.n at their next regular meet ing next Tuesday and it is possible you can facilitate matters by bring ing some of the. above points to the citzens attention requesting the Board to let the people express them selves at an election. Hoping this information will be of service, I rtmain, yours very truly, Harry W Loving. Engineer, Tne J. B.

The ones tak ing part were Ernestine R-isberry, ' Jennie Summerell, Evelyn Kitchin. and Gertrude Dunn. We discussed the society pins but have not yet picked out the ones we are to get. The Vine Hill Society had a debate Friday the 26ch. The question was "Resolved that the Drug Scores should stay opea on Sunday." The question was decided in favor of the Negative side. j The school has almost entirely re gained thd standing it had before the Diptheria broke out and is doing ex cellent work. There has been only one case of Scarlet fever in the school and we are yery thankful for that because if there had been more school would been in danger of being suspended. The Vine Hilfhas invited the Lan eir Literary Society to enjoy an eve ning of fun and frolic on December, 3, with them. The invitation has been accepted with pleasure.

Wednesday night, October 27, 1915, at 12 o'clock, the soul of little Callie Ba.nhill, the eight year old daughter j of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Barnhill J wended its way to the eternal man- j sions in Heaven. J The little one was taken very sick j Friday, the 18th, and from that time sufferer untold agonies until the An-; gel of Death came and laid his icy hand on her burning brow, and bade the little one come. - Prayers have been offered, love has labored and science has been practiced in vain. Yes, we prayed that our little darling should live and give to our hearts rays of sunshine and gladness, but it was not God's will, and we should all endeavor to be re conciled to His will for He doeth all things well. We extend our greatest sympathy to the bereaved ones. Little Callie was buried in a robe of pure white under a mound of love ly flowers. All day we watched the ebbing life, As if its flight to stay: Till all the night was coming on, Our last hope passed away. She was the music of our home, -A day that knew no night: The fragrance of our garden bowers, A thing all smiles and light.
