More than 36 hours out from the starting point at Oakland the biplane Mlsa Doran and tho mon oplane Qolden Eagle wore long overdue. Grave fears wore ex pressed for the safety of the live Ulera aboard the missing craft. While all the uiodern agencies of Communication wero thrown into play in the searefi. -jCaptaln William P.

The possibility of a smssh Jip and quick sinking loomed large in thin picture, for the planes jrplity have made a land ,n* most hazardous task. The Golden Eagle presented a more hopeful prospect.

This is the first failure of an old established mercantile Arm in Elizabeth City in the la*t 1?'? years! or more. The town weathered the lean years following the slump of' 1920 with relatively few failures of any sort. Those which ?ii<i occur, Kern-rally speaking, were of Arms of comparatively recent or ganization and nil were of rela tively minor Importance. Mitchell's Department Store was established by lbs late Rob ert J. Mitchell, and at Ills death spproxluately two*score years ago tin- business wax taken over by Mr. Gilbert, who was his brother in-law*. At that time It occupied the Aydlett or "Bee Hive" build ing, comer Main and Polndexter streets, and was regarded by many as the city** leading depart ment store. 1'nder Mr. Gilbert's management the business contin ued to prosper and expand, estab lishing: two branch stores under i different namee on Polndexter! street.
