Vol. IV. No. 1. ENFIELD, N. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903. $1.50 Per Year Cash. Mrs. Sam A. Dunn. On the 30th day of September, 1883, was born to Mr. and Mrs. It. C. Josey of Scotland Neck, their first child, which brought light and joy into their new- made Home. The grand child of Mr. and Mrs. . D. Edmondson, her name was Huldah Edmond son Josey. . " On the 17th day of. "January 1905, the babe of hope and promise of twenty years before stood at the alter a charming bride of surpassing beauty as " she was united in holy wedlock to the man of' her choice, Mr. Sam A. Dunn. t On the 9th day of August, 1908, at 3 o'clock in the after .noon the death angel bore her spirit away, leaving the queenly form and the smilingface beauti iul in death as at her marriage day. for they said, "in her shroud she looked like she did in her bridal dress." Her illness had been brief, and while her death was a great shock, it was - beautifully quiet, As with her mother hve years ago in the holy stillness of the blessed Sabbath day the sweet and gentle spirit bade adieu to a home of love and pleasure here for the mansions of eternal per fection in the skies. With pure white - flowers banked and , piled about it, the lovely form lay ' in the silent death chamber until 4:30; o'clock on the afternoon following 1 her death, when,. followed by a long and sorrowing' procession of lov ing ones at home, with a host of friends from this and other com munities, it was carried to the Baptist cemetary and laid to rest to await God's call on the resur rection morn when the- graves shall give up their dead and the redeemed shall be reunited in that perfect realm where love's golden links shall neer be brok en. The' burial exercises were beautiful and touching, conduct ed by her pastor, Rev. R. A. McFarland, who spoke with great tenderness and pathos of the beautiful and worthy life cut away as a full blown rose in the first hour of its choicest - fra grance. As the casket was low ered into the grave" it was cov ered with wreaths of beautiful flowers, as a token that true devotion to the loved one follows the earthly course until the last glimpse is closed out by the cold, dank clods of clay. Rev. C. A. Jones, of the Methodist church, offered prayer and Rev. C. G. Christian, of the Presbyterian church, pronounced the benedic tion. , : - Voices quivering with grief sang, "Abide with me," ; "Come ye disconsolate," and "It is well with my soul,'-' while the body was covered away in the prison house of death. Mrs. Dunn leaves, besides her husband, two little children, father and step-mothen two brothers, a large number of relatives, and a great host of friends and admirers. Scotland Neck Commonwealth. In a O itical Conditio n. The many friends of Mr. David Bell will regret to learn that he 13 in a vefy critical condition in a hospital at Richmond. Last Saturday he was carried to the hospital for treatment of a car buncle on the back of his neck, but now it said that it proved, to be a cancer and that the doctors entertain little hopes of his recov ery. Mr. Bell had been confined to his home for some time with what was first thought to be a carbuncle and that it was not of a serious nature, but was carried to Richmond to prevent blood-poison. A Tragedy in Edgecombe. Last Thursday night there was a bloody tragedy at Lawrence in Edgecombe county as a result o which Mr. It. B. O'Neal died the f olid wine: day. He and a man named Sparks had a difficulty words in a saloon and after going out of the saloon Sparks stabbed O'Neal in ; five places with pocket knife twice in the abdo- men, once in the right ; lung, . in front, once in the left lung under the shoulder and once in the left arm. O'Neal was taken on his buggy to his home a mile or two away, where he received medica! attention, but died Friday, Sparks, it is said,' made an effor to escape, but he was arrested and carried to Tarboro jail. , It was . said that some time before they had had some trouble and that perhaps gave rise to the fatal affray O'Neal was 30 years old, was" married and leaves a wife and five children. Sparks is 32 years old and has a wife and four children. It was a mos deplorable affair.. . Mr. O'Neal was ; son-in-law of Mr. J. D. Bunchr of Scotland Neck, and keen regret .are felt here for his untimely death. ' He was an industrious and ' success- . r , full farmer. : The burial occurred Saturday afternoon at his old home about six miles from Scot land Neck, . Rev. R: A. ' McFar land, pastor of the Baptist church here, conducting the ? exercises A large concourse of people gathered at the burial, many being present from Edgecombe and from this county. Great sympathy is felt for the widowed mother with her depen dent little children. Scotland Neck Commonwealth. A Great Picnic. George R. Gammon, J. Hi Ruf- fin, William Moore and James K Lawrence have had myitations printed to a grand basket picnic, on Thursday, August 20th, in .the grove near Williams' church.

The invitation to this function is general to pleasure seekers of Nash, Wilson,. Pitt,' Martin and Halifax as well as to all Edge combe to come with a basket and have a social day of it. . - There will be two bands and four dancing paviliohs. Two will be devoted to the round dances and the other two to the still popular quadrilles. ; Do not wait for a printed invi tation directed to you personally. This announcement in the South erner is an invitation to every one, who reads it and authorizes him or her to invite the neighbor and friend. Tarboro Southerner. Democratic Primaries. The Democratic primaries were held throughout the county Thursday afternoon to elect delegates to the ounty conven tion which meets in Halifax next Monday. - In most of the pre cincts the strength of the various candidates were called for, and the voters had a chance to cast a ballot for his choice. The friends of Mr. W. T. Clement, Enfield's candidate for treasurer, are very much elated over the prospects of his nomination at Halifax Monday. Returns from the various precincts seem to indi cate that his nomination i3 quite certain, although there is noth absolutely certain that ha3 to be passed upon by one of our county Conventions. Getting Rid of Mosquitoes. : Baltimore in 1906 appropriated $10,000 for a mosquito campaign in lyuY. The entire city was gone over. Cisterns, tanks' and wells were covered with wire gauze. Pools, ponds and foun tains not containing perch, which live on the mosquito to wrig gle," were covered with kero sene. Alii .vaults were covered with kerosene every other week Householders were warned and fined if any pan - of water ; was left five days the period for breeding- mosquitoes. Empty houses were watched and all re ceptacles holding water emptied or covered with kerosene. The result was immediate last year. , Mosquitoes were greatly diminished and malarial fevers decreased.' For this year $5,000 was appropriated and : the work goes on.- The mosquito his been so reduced - on the isthmus ,ol Panama " and' where- malaria fevers were' rife,, they have almost disappeared' .and' the death rate is less among the "men working than in this country for men employed on i public work Yet the Isthmus cost a life for every tie on the, Panama Railroad and : almost : every, other laborer died under the ' French .Canal Company.. Suppressing the mosquito has done it' If any house or place has mosquitoes it is because carelessness permits it. ' A single pan of water or a tin dipper full of water, neglected for a week, will fill a yard with . mosquitoes and make porches and be'drooms unendurable, : Vigilance in small matters, systematic use of kero sene and no water left standing suppress mosquitoes and with them j a great host ' of malarial evers. Philadelphia Press.; Advertising; Like a Clock, Should Keep Running. A store's' advertisements tell the people what is doing at that store- what is new, what is in viting, why today is a good time to visit the store. People look or 1 the ' ads. to tell them these things just as naturally as they would look at a clock, to tell the time. ' Sometimes a clock does not run sometimes a store s ad., does not. A run-down clock or ad. are about equally unsatisfactory, unserviceable, misleading.. Curious thing" about it is that merchant who would think it absurd to have a run-down or out- bf-repair clock will, sometimes, deliberately let his ad. stop run ning. It's not wise, nor " good business, nor defensible on any knowp grounds but; it's some- imes done. Drop Two Games at Emporia. The Junior Hustlers played two games of ball at Emporia, Va., Monday and Tuesday and ost both. The first game was a shut-out, the score being 3. to 0, and the second was 13 to 6. he Hustlers played unusually rotten ball and had 'it not been or the errors they might have won one. terns of Interest from Halifax.
