Scnboi Exercises To the Ledger: . - Perhaps the :-,jnost exciting, and withal; the mostr miraculous run-away ver known here occurred Vlast week: A splendid steed belonging to the. firm Of Lee & Backs, liverymen, here, took fright and, after getting J-orn.un der control of the driver, ; ran for an half .mile down Ma in street. WinloTi is situatad on a .bit ff c f more than forty, feet' above the water level of the beautiful Chowan. The horse havjng ,no regard tor the situa tion, leaped " head-long into the placid waters. -The river at this point is 500 yards wide. , The animal swam more than half the distance acioss. Soon she was overtaken by men ir charge of small boats,- who diiected her course and in a few minutes the horse, still attached to 'the buggy, had planted her teet on terra firraa, and to the surprise of all, like Teddy, she had not forgotten her ''natural gill" of running away. A number of years ago, the Hon. Tlromas R.( fernigan, Ex-ministei to Japan, hid a horse to make this aw- ful iap to deatji. Since that t'me the. Chowan has opened its busom to 'others, but never before, e en unto the day whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, has the "well known quadraped found its way -out of the difficuhy. . On Monday evening. o, Christmas week, theJWinton Male and Female Academy closed the first half of the scholastic year "with appropriate ex. rcises. In addition to the exercises talks were made by Senator S law and James R. Mitchell. Mr. Shaw urged the 'importance of the education c f the white children, making reference to the constitutional amendmeLt. Mr. Mitchell, after recounting the growth and development of the Acad- emy under the able managment of Miss Ella Earley, spoke of ' the expt- diency of the example set by Missis- sippi ii nominating and electing for 'governor. , a man onnosed to ne?io education at the expense of the white . citizencv of his l state.

HER VOIC LIVES Dead Mother's Son Coh tinuesjto Lull Her Babies to Sleep - In a quiet little home on the South Side of Chicag( , 111., a song is sung every evening by the voice of a n oth er, who has been dead morethan a year. Two tiny orphans, a boy and a girl sit on their heart-broken fathers Upjeach niht and are soothed to sleep by the lullaby teir mother sang lo them when she was living. 7Q- The singing is done by a phonog raph, but 'their farther ias taught his ittle ones that the voice is theirm oth er's, and they never go to sleep with out hearing it, .
