CHRISTMAS AT SCOTLAND NECK.
A Day of Rest and Recreation-services al
the Episcopal Church--Othcr Notes.

SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., December
26-(Special.) -Christmas-Day was perfect
here. The weather was balmy. and with
the good time generally there was
quiet that made the day lovely and the
season sacred. Many went into the fields
with dog and gun, and many remained
at home TO enjoy rest and recreation IN
the family-circle.. There were services al
the Episcopal church, and the Christmas
decorations were pretty. There was no
service in any other church here.
Last night at Spring Hill there was a
beautiful Sunday school Christmas-tree,
prepared by the Baptist and Episcopal
Sunday schools together. There were
many beautiful presents given, and a
large crowd witnessed the exercises which
consisted of Christmas carols and a short
address by Mr.. Il. Il. Hilliard, OF this
place.
The grip is quite prevalent, but thus
far IL has only been in q mild form.
Persons who dealt in Christmas goods
say that they are carrying over more
than usual.
There were large quantities OF fruit
shipped here for the holiday trade.
