TROUBLE WITH THE TELEGRAPH.-
There Is very great complaint about de-
lays in kilograms here. A few days ago
4 gentleman wished to send telegram
from this place to New York. All the
kilograms from this place are sent to the
general relay office at Tarboro. On the
particular day III question the operator
here called the Tarboro operator at inter
walls from ll,20, a. m, until 40, p. m.
before he could get him.
Such delay is absolutely inexcusable.
and the public ought not to have to sub
NIT to such negligence. The truth i.
this Office needs another wire and the
ought to furnish the operator
with it.
BACK TO BALTIM0RE.-Mr NJ. A. !
Gotten. VINO has been proprietor of the
new hotel here since last April, re-
moved this week to Baltimore, lis former
home. Mss Louise went directly to
BaltImere Tuesday. Mir. and Mrs. Cot
ten with Miss Estela and their little son
a Augustus, went to Williamson where
they wit spend few days visiting
friends there before they 90 to Baltimore.
Mr.. and Mrs. C1tten aud the entire
family arc highly esteemed in Scotland
Neck. They have made many warm
friends here and it is with sincere regret
that the people of the town and commu-
nifty part with them. They speak in
highest terms of the town and the people
they have met here, and it il a mutual
regret with them and their friends that
they see it to their interest to NOV c
back to Baltimore.
THE DEMOCRAT wishes them success
and will ever retain pleasant recollections
OF them.
