Came on a Wagon from Tennessee.

Came on a Wagon from Tennessee.
Mr.. J. w. Moody, who was living in
the flooded districts of Missouri, arrived
here Saturday night looking tor a good
place to locate. He came with his
family on wagon from Tennessee. He
said he heard that Scotland Neck sec
tlon is quite healthful and that it is a
good community to live in. His IN
formant, whoever he was, was quite
correct for we believe, after having
seen man sections of North Carolina
that there is no place In the State where
ones health is more secure than here
And everybody who has ever spent
much time here knows that Scotland
Neck and community is a delightful
section to live in.

A Correction.

A Correction.
In the account given last week OF the
commencement exercises at Vine Hill
Female Academy, there was an error as
to diplomas. Miss Maggie Shields was
the only person this paper mentioned
as having received diploma; whereas
Misses Lucy Dunn and Estelle johnson
both received diplomas, but theirs was
for only part of the course and Miss
Maggie's was for the full course. Also
we learn that Misses Emile Peters
and Nonye Hoffman we're marked
high by the committee who
awarded the medal In oratory. Also
Mr.. w. A. Dunn was on the committee
to decide the contest.
The editor Of THE COMMONWEALTH
was not present at the exercises and
only reported iron. what Others told
him.

The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH

when the first page of the paper was

was left off for paragraph in the first

to Sunday School Times. It was the
paragraph which, spoke OF bondage

A Visit to N'Gandu.

Capt. Sidney Langford Hinde gives
a painfully interesting account of a
recent visit to N'Gandu, the capital of
Congo Sutete, the principal lieutenant
at n time of Tippoo lib, but now I'M
der the Congo State. The mode of .ex-
ecution among these people is remark
able. When the chief sentences a man
he hands him over to the. waiting
crowd. He is Immediately torn to
pieces, and disappears as quickly as a
hare is broken UP by a pack of hounds.
Every man lays hold of him at once
with n hand and with the other
whips off the piece with his knife; no
one stops to kill him first, for he would
by doing SO lose his piece. Male.than
once, after a drum-head court-martial,
when a spy or deserter was shot, the
onlookers said to the captain and par
ty, why do you bury him? It's no use
when you are gone we shall, of
course, dig him up" The capital con-
tains from 10000 to $4,000 inhabitants.
1t is surrounded by a double ditch and
loop-holed earthwork, and this by a
palisade. Every trunk in this palisade
was crowned with a human skull"
The town has six gates, and the APP
proach to each is, or was. 'ornamented
by a pavement of human skulls, the
bregma being the only part that showed.
above the ground. This pavement was
of a snowy whiteness, and polished to
the smoothness Of ivory by the daily
passage of hundreds of naked feet. I
counted more than 1000 skulls in the
pavements of n Of the gates alone"

about the color of her dress, anyhow.
But she didn't hear. She thinks so

She as much as said so, when l told
her Dick was rich in girls if he hadn't
much else.
Eyes, till death us do part: Sounds
solemn, too, don't it?. They both look
solemn enough. I'll bet Dicks sorry
already that he didn't take the other
one. Amt that like a man? Land!
The longer I live the more I despise

Merit Wins.

The invention of Alabastine marked
a new era in wall coatings. and from
the standpoint of the building owner
a most important discovery. It
has from a small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name "kalsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers Of cheap kalso-
mine preparations r now calling
them by some other name. and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are SO thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance of spoil
ing their walls for a possible saving OF
at the most but q few cents. Thus it
is again demonstrated that merit wins.
and that manufacturers of flrst-class
articles will be supported by the
people.
