Anyone who has any such misguided idea as this should by all means see the 101 Ranch Wild West show. This attraction exhibited in New Bern yesterday afternoon and last night and those who attended, and there Were many, were more than pleased with the performance. This show is not a circus It doesn't claim to be. It is a wild West show and it is certainly wild and woocly. The first event on the day's program was a parade over the principal, streets of the city and, as might be imagined, this was viewed by hundreds and won the approval of all. The nt perform ance was given in the afternoon and this was well attended. The chief attract ions were exhibitions of riding by the cowboys, cowgirls and indians and these were excellent. Long practice in the saddle has made these performers al most perfect in their work and their exhibitions were thrilling in the extreme. Included In the program was some fancy shooting by the Indians, expert lariat throwing by the cowboys and a repre sentation of the old stage coach days and the dangers encountered by fthe operators and passengers of these anc ient methods of travel. The riding of the bronchos and the wild steer were two of the features of the performances and in fact it might be said that these were the most thrill ing. Last night another large crowd witnessed the performance and the gen eral concensus of opinion was that the show was good and well worth the price of admissions. MAY ERECT MONUMENT Some Talk of Honoring Late Gov ernor There Is a movement on foot in New Bern to erect a suitable monument over the remains of Governor Nash, one of the first Governors of North Carolina and whose bones now lie In an unmarked grave on the opposite banks of Trent river. After Governor Nash's death his body was placed in a leaden casket and properly Interred. During the war between the States the northern troops occupied that section and when one of their officers died and there was no suitable casket to ship his body back home, the leaden casket containing all that was mortal of the late governor was exhumed and the contents thrown out. and thecasket was used for the northern man. A man who had been a friend to the governor gathered up those and burled them. The subject has re cently been brought up and there is considerable talk of erecting a monu ment over the lonely grave.

Small, Mrs. Claude Kitchin, Mrs. John M- Faison, Mrs. Edward W. Pou, Mrs. H. L. Godwin, Mrs. Robert L. Doughton, Mrs. E. Y. Webb and Mrs. J. M. Gudger have been In the State for several months.

Jews Now Observe Feast of Taberncle SUCCOTH BEGAN SUNDAY AND WILL LAST SEVEN DAYS The Feast of Tabernacles, better Known as auccotn, Degan Minday ami will be observed by all orthodox Jews! everywhere. Thl s the very important! season with the Hebrews, the New Year having occurred recently, then Yom Kippur and now the Feast of Tabernacles or of Ingathering. Succoth falls on the 15th dav of the month Tishri in the Hebrew cal endar and extends over eight days, the last of which is called the "day of solemn assembly." lne Israelite who, in obdlence to the Divine command, left his house for the week of festival, and took up his abode in a booth or tabernalce and lived through, as it were, an im portant epoch of his people's history, thereby replenished the springs of Jew ish sentiment. He was also thereby taught to remember that just as Israel In the wilderness was protected by God, so Is he being guarded In his earthly pilgrimage. God's love is ever with His children like a protecting cloud The second name of the festival, th feast of Ingathering, almost explain; Itself. The holiday comes In the aut umn, at a time when the husband men in Palestine had safely garnered the produce of his lands. It was the time of thinking of God as the giver. And so the lesson of gralitutc for the blessings he had received and of re sponsibility for the right to use of ihem was each year written upon his heart.

Jr.; left yesterday morning for a business visit to Beaufort. E FOUND BURIED y, The Remains of Those of Nej Child, and for A Time the Case Was Baffling MOTHER INTERRED CORPSE IN ORDER TO CONCEAL BIRTH Police Get On the Trail and Aideo By County Coroner Get A Confession From Her When the body of a new-born negro babe was found buried on the lot at No. 5 New S. Front St. yesterday morn ing, the local police and the county offic ials were sure that they had run upon a deep and foul mystery and at once the wheels of the law were set in motion to unravel this. Policeman Fred P. Rowe was the first one of the officers to view the body, he having been the first to receive news that something unusual was occurring in t lie neighborhood. Officer Rowe made an investigation and at once came to the conclusion that Genevk- Washington, a negress who came to New Bern several days ago from Fort Barnv. oil, was the mother of the child. He questioned her closely but she cmphatl , such s;'. Policeman Kowe then got communication with Chief of Police ('. Lupton and Mayor Hanger! and they took part in the investigation. Dr. Walter Watson, t lie county cor oner, was next called In and after going to the scene he found that the child had not been killed, but had died a natural death and that in all probability the mother desired to get rid of its body without expense or notoriety. The Washington woman was again questioned and as good as admitted that she was the mother. After this confess! in the body, which In the mean time had been exhumed, was turned over to her for burial and was taken charge of by an undertaker.
