A Boy and a Gun.

A Boy and Gun.
Last Friday afternoon several small
boys of the town went out with guns
to shoot birds. On there return to
town some of the crowd were sitting on
the fence resting, where one of the
crowd, Floyd Harris, about Is years
old, dropped his gun and the jar caused
it to go off. The load barely missed
his head. Four fingers shot from his left
hand was the result of the discharge
with close call for his left ear, one OF
two shot striking the side of the face
and one going through the ear.
1t is the same old story-a boy and
a gun. Almost every week we hear OF
some small boy either killing or injur-
ing himself or some one else, and it
seems to us that parents would be more
careful about letting their boys have
guns.

Runaway Marriage.

Runaway Marriage.
There is no saying like an old saying
and there is no old saying much oftener
quoted than, "The course of true love
never runs smooth" Every once in a
while we hear of love affair illustrat-
ing this saying and showing that at
least the course of love does not always
run smooth"
Whether it ruins "smooth" or other
wise it usually runs to happy termi-
nation, both in real life and in the
novels. Such was the ending of the
love affair which we are to report now.
For sometime, Mr.. Oliver Hedgepeth,
of Edgecombe, had been "going to see"
Miss Nefie Whitehead, the daughter
of Mr.. Sam Whitehead, a well-to-do
farmer living near town. When it
dawned upon the father that the
courtship was likely to end in marriage
he forbade that 1t should proceed
further. But the young people, believ-
ing ali to be fair in love and war,
carried on their courtship as best they
could under the circumstances until
finally they made an attempt to elope,
which proved futile. This was follow
ed by other attempts which also proved
vain.
But they were not discouraged.
Somehow the young man started
the rumor that he was trying to run
away with another girl, and this re-
port reaching the ears of Miss White
heads parents, allayed their suspicious.
Saturday evening the young lady
persuaded her father to bring her to
town to spend few days with her
married sister, who lives in Scotland
Neck. Mr.. Hedgepeth also came into
town Saturday evening. Sunday even
ing he went to claim his prize. Miss
Whitehead, DOMINIC her hat and
wraps, approached her sister and an
nounced her intention to get married.
She said, II am going to get married
and no one can help It," whereupon
the young people got in the buggy,
which Mr.. Hedgepeth had in readiness,
and droye away to be married, when
they went to the home Of the groom In
Edgecombe.

La Grippe.


This disease is visiting about town
some mt this writing, and has paid THE
COMMONWEALTH call, possibly for the
purpose of being mentioned in the
personal column. At any rate 1t visited
us and, sad to relate, it Is spending
some time.
The editor wrestled with it and was
thrown. Since Friday night La Grippe
has been sitting ON our chief and what
he has done he has had to lying on his
back.
Tuesday the foreman began to get
weak in the back and about hight the
Grippe had him down and he has not
yet been back to his work.
Another of the printers is wrestling
with the why and agile visitor but we
hope the third man may keep on his
feet until one of the stricken ones re-
covers, as the feet of the printer whose
turn comes next are too numerous to
admit of wrestling.
The only members of the force lett
unhampered are the "devil" and the
one who is, reporting the wrestling
matches.
After relating this sad tale of falls"
1t will be unnecessary to apologize for
any shortcomings that may be discover
ed IN the issue by our readers. If any
one sees anything he can't look over,
but must needs clamor for redress, we'll,
he can 20 to the "devil."
