In view of the fact that we are to have an election on State prohibition May 26, it may be of interest to give the vote cast in Nash and Edgecombe counties the last time this question was submitted, in 1881* when the issue was defeated by a majority of 116,072. In that year Nash vote was 232 for pro hibition and 2,867 against it, and. Edge combe vote was 454 for and 4,295 against it. However, the negro vote, which was large at that time, was solid against prohibition, besides sentiment has undergone a wonderful change and an entirely diffevent story will be told after the may election.

Howe's Moving Pictures at The Opera House, Tuesday Night February nth. If you have forgotten the joyous hap piness of barefoot days and would brief ly live over again the ardor and ecscacy that came with circus day, go and see the remarkable moving pictures of wild animals included in Lyman H. Howe's new program in Rocky Mount on Tues day night, February 11th. The series ificludes not only strange animals sel dom if eyer, saen with a circus, but also remarkable portraits of those so famil iar with a circus that without them it would not be a circus. The splendid view of elephantß shown, will revive fond memories of the long ago when perhaps you carried water for them. What a thirst they had! How you car ried till you walk! Yet how proud and happy you were as you walked into the big tent holding out a red ticket that read "Admit One." You may again recall the smell of the sawdust, the thirst you had for the pink lemonade, and the sweet dreams you had that night after all was over. Then how you talked it over next day with the other boys. While Mr. Howe's new program may revive these memories in you, another feature of it wiil give you a ride on the front of an automobile racing over curves and gradients at the rate of 80 miles an hour* Another pic ture—that of a big city fire—atounds in much that is dramatic. Still another —the siege and surrender of Casa Blanca in Morocco —is of great historic interest while "Life in the French Navy," "Quaint Holland," "Wild Birds at Home," "A Hunt in the Arctic Re gions," and numerous other scenes of a purely amusing nature make this one of the most thoroughly delightful attrac tions of the season. Mr. Fenner Entertains Board of Trade. The members of the Rocky Mount Mount Tobacco Board of Trade were handsomely entertained by Mr. and Mrs# W. E. Fenner at their new home pi Falls Road on last Thursday evening the 30 th of January, at an Informal din ner. The dinner was an elaborate af fair of six courses, and was highly en joyed by those present, who amply at tested their appreciation in the most practical way possible. The following gentlemen were pres ent: Messrs. C. C. Cooper, J. 0. W Graveley, E. H. •Crews, W. T. Fuller, West Swain, J. E. Crute, A. B. Willing ham, Edgar W. Smith, W. I. Skinner, Lewis Levy, T. S. McDearman and A. P. Thorpe. Mr. Fenner deserves great credit for thus bringing the members of the Board of Trade, together in a social way. His example is worthy of emulation, and we hope to see|moreEofj£the fraternal spirit cultivated. Marked For Deaths "Three years ago I was marked for death.
