POPULAR AND LUCKY BOYS.
An Elaborate Oyster Supper.

On last Friday night at Hotel Law
renee the ladies Of the town gave al
oyster supper for the benefit of tn,
Scotland Neck Rifemen.
Much preparation had been made
and there was a good crowd present
But for the deep snow there would
have been much larger crowd bu
there were fun and merrlment galore
for the young people, and pleasant
evening it was for ALL
After the supper was over contes
was entered into that interested The
young men and some of the married
ones also. A fine fruit cake was to be
! awarded to the lady who should receive
the largest number of votes as being
the most beautiful and popular lady Of
the town.
On the first ballot quite number
OF ladies, both married and single, re.
celved fattering vote; but the con-
test was narrowed down at the result OF
every ballot, and on the last ballot Miss
Annie Kitchin received the largest vote
and was declared the successful "candl-
date The number OF votes cast was
$50, and they sold at 10 cents each.
The gross receipts of the supper
amounted to about $1l5.
The Rifiemen who have recently re-
organized, are largely indebted to the
ladies of the town for this handsome
addition to the fund with which to
equip the company.
The old Board OF the county COM
missioners at the final meeting last
week gracefully appropriated $500 to
the company, which the members ap-
preciated very much. The commission
ers of Scotland Neck have appropriated
to the company from the town treasu-
ny 500; there has been liberal pri-
yate subscription taken in the town,
and the company is getting Into good
shape for thorough organization. 1t
will be one of the best military compa-
MES in the State. The list numb ers
about sixty.

ACHING'JOINTs

Announce the presence OF rheumatism
which causes untold sufferings. Rheu-
matism is due to Tactic acid in the
blood. 1t cannot be cured by lini-
ments or other other outward appllca-
tions. Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies the
blood, removes the cause of rheuma-
tism and permanently cures this dis
ease. This is the testimony Of thous-
ands of people who once suffered the
pains of rheumatism but who have act
ually been cured by taking Hoods Sar-
saparilla. It's great power to act upon
the blood and remove every lmpurlty

BEAUTIFUL sNow.-The deepest snow
seen here in many years fell Wednes
of last week. When THE COMMON
WEALTH went to press the storm had
set in in earnest and it continued I'M
til late into the night. It was almost
a blizzard. The snow on level was 10
to II inches deep, and in places it was
much deeper because OF the drifts. The
snow was general along the Atlantic
coast, but was heaviest in North Caro-
lima.
GOOD WORDS FOR SCOTLAND NECK
i gentleman OF much observation and
a good degree of culture said to the ed
ltor of THE COMMONWEALTH recently
that he did not know a town of the size
of Scotland Neck which has more IN
telligence and refinement. He said
he had thought of it much and had OBJ
served for many years, and the people
Of Scotland Neck have impressed
him as being highly cultured and
refined. The COMMONWEALTH appre-
clates the compliment for the peo-
pie Of the town and knows full we'll
that cur people themselves also appre-
ciate such good opinions.
