I Merchant-Tailor?, Chi- jj cago, HI j THE ENTERPRISE Mrs. B. T. Wynne Dead Last Thursday afternoon, Jnfy 13th, at 3 o'clock the funeral ser vices of Mrs. Mary Wynne were conducted from the home near Everett? by Rev. Geo. J. Do well in the presence of a large assembly of friends and relatives. She was the daughter of the lace Daniel and Cynthia Mobley and at the time of her death was adout 56 years of age. On December 18th, 1879, she was married to B. T. Wynne, Esq., who with four children sur vive her. These are Ashley D , Joseph H., Ellen D , and Mollie Wynne. Hers was a long and tedious ill ness attended with great pain and suffering most of the time. Her sickness began December 1910 and lasted until July the 17th, when she was relieved by the sleep of I death. j Mrs. Wynne was an excellent type of the good and faithful wife and mother. The neighbors found in her a true frieud; the sick, a sympathizer; the neeily, a helper. Some 22 years anoshe was baptized into the fellowship of I'iuey Grove Church at Everetts by Elder Gee. J. Do well, and during her whole life was a faithful member. Strange are God's mysterious dealings, and His ways past finding out, but He doeth all things well. We are as sured that it was right to call this dear one home, or He would have left her to cheer the loved ones now ] mourning to be !eft so disconsolate. ' May this sad dispensation of His ; providct.ee lead them to strive to 1 reach that beautiful laud to which we are confident she has gone, where faith is swallowed up in fruition aud hope in possession, until tbey shall plant their feet ou the everlnstirg Rock of Ages, and find fiim footing when the world and all its possessions shall slip from under their feet. Then the same God whom she loved aud served shall reunite the scattered family and they shall dwell with the Saviour in ihe New Jerusalem forever. May he who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, mercifully watch over them to the er.d of life's journey. "He that has msdt bis refuse God, Shall find a most secure adobe; Shall walk all day beneath his shade, And thtre at night, shall rest his head."

FRIDAY, JUYL 26. 1912 Bold Hold-Up ——— Sunday night when about five miles from town on the Washing : ton road, J. A. Woolard, son of the late J. L. Woolard, was held up bv two negroes, who wore a white Cloth abont thetr faces. Yonng : Woolard had driven out to bis father's farm after the Inte train had come in to carry a friend. When returning about ten o'clock, he saw a mau come out from the road which leads to the home of Mr. Kader Lilley and heard him call for him (Woolard) to stop. : He struck his horse but the animal was caught by the Degro who held a pistol in his hand. Another ue [ gro came up between the wheels • and demanded that he turn the con -1 tents of his pockets out. Wool -1 ard, though naturally frightened, : had presence of mind eucugh to slip his purse containing about #s.co in the waistband of his pants und then turned all his pockets out, finding only about Si. 25. The 1 men had demanded the money upon , the threat that they would take the team, while pointing a couple ot guns nt the boy. After thi money was secured, they let him go and he drove quickly to town and re ported the crime to the sheriff. WoolafU failed to recognize the men, but it is thought that they were from town and seeing the young man go out and suspecting that he car.itd seme cash, secured bicycles aud waited for him to re turn. Such occurrences ere rare in this section and it is a serious matter, 1 The number of vagrants around 1 the town make it highly probable that the parties reside here. Founder of The Enterprise Monday afternoon, Mr. J. Dale, of Kinston, was a most welcome , visitor to the office. Thirteen years ago Mr. Dale came here and established Thk Enterprise in j tbe old Williams Building. Mr. Dale soou sold the paper to ! tbe late G. W. Newell and has j , since engaged in the business of a | marole yard at Kinston, where he does better work for less monty than the average monument dealer. The letters which appears at the head of the paper, designating its name were cut from a piece of wood | by Mr. Dale wjtn a knife. Later j lead type was used as now. v It is an odd fact that the first] copy of The Entbri-kise that rolled off tbe old Washington hand j press, wa r takt-n by W. C Man ning, who ten ycers after became editor. Coming events did not j : cast their shadows before him, and j so he knew not of the responsibility , wbich should come to him later. I Mr. Dale was-much pleased with ; tbe looks of things about the office \ and expressed his appreciation of | the sheet whi'.h is'sent out weekly, j We enjoyed bis visit aud hope ; that he will come again because we j •live—as we desire no stone for I years to conic.

The large warehouse was brilliantly ill* uminated and at convenient spots'* about the floor were placed tables (rem whence things good to eat were served in attractive style and a rustic well furnished refreshing lemonade. But the chief features were the trials before Judge Dun ning and the District School con ducted by Mrs. John D. whose impersonation of the old maid teacher could not have been ex celled. Policeman Kowdeu arrest ed people and carrying them be fore the Judge, bad fines for spoon ing, flirting, sport ng, etc., impos ed. Tbis created leads of fun.
