The Boys in Cuba.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
has received asletter from Mr.. w. NJ.
Gray, who is one OF the boys in Cuba,
giving account OF the trip from Sa-
vannah, and of the scenery and other
things that interest him. He sent us
piece of fish fin which is curiosity
indeed.
Also we have been permitted to read
letter from Mr.. Richard Hall to a
relative here, describing the taking
down of the Spanish flag In Havana
January lst, and the raising of the
stars and stripes. He says Camp Lee
is about ten miles from Havana and
the boys had to march to the town in
the heat and dust, but were treated
royalty with fruits, ice water and the
like even while in ranks. The people
in Havana we're all happy. hugglng
and kissing each other; and during
the ceremonies and excitement, before
he knew what was happening. Mr.. Hall
says that an aged dame of dusky hue
embraced him and showered blessings
upon him, to the amusement and de-
light of his comrades.
Many other interesting and amusing
incidents does Mr.. Hall relate.
The COMMONWEALTH sends New
Year greetings to the boys.

Death Of Mr. John M. RUSSELL.

Mr.. John NJ. Russell died at the
home of Mr.. A. G.. Peterson in Scotland
Neck Dec. Goth, 1898, aged about %
years. He had been sick for some
time with an attack of ma!arial fever,
was followed by severe attack of pneu-
monia which proved too much for his
enfeebled condition.
Mr.. Russell had been a resident of
Scotland Neck for year, perhaps,
and he had made long list of strong
friends during the time he had lived
here. He came from Wh1takers to
Scotland Neck and was engaged as
mach,nist in the Scotland Neck knit
ting mills. He was a member of the
Scotland Neck brass band, and his
comrades of the band were much at
tached to him.
The death of Mr.. Russell was greatly
regretted by all who knew him here.
for he was quite popular and regarded
by all as most excellent young man.
His remains were carried to Whit
akers for interment. His father and
mother who were with him at the last
we're deeply sympathized with by the
entire community.

After Nine Years.

In 1890 Joseph Rawles killed Henry
King of Pitt county, and has avoided
arrest until last Friday. 1t turns out
that he has been living near Ahoskie,
In Hartford county, for four years
under the name of George Teel.
Reports say that he has worked once
during these nine years with Chas.
Broadway Rouss, Of New York, and
has spent some time in Oklahoma.
Reports say, also, that persons have
been on his track for some time both
in the Ahoskie community and in
Scotland Neck.
Finally he was captured last Friday
and carried to Greenville.
The Greenville Reflector of Saturday
gave the following:
"On the 2Sth day of April, 1899,
Messrs. John King and Joe Rawls had
difficulty here over mule. Both
used their pistols and both received
wounds, King being shot In the hip
and Rawls through the leg. Kings
| wound was most serious and he was
never able to get up, but died after a
confinement of several weeks. Rawls
fled, and though many attempts were
made to capture him he eluded arrest
In these nine years he has been in all
parts of the country and whenever his
| hereabouts was discovered the effort
to arrest him was renewed.
For year or two past he has been
living In Berthe county near Ahoskie
and on Thursday last he was arrested
and was brought to Greenvllle Friday
evening and delivered to the Sheriff
Rawls has changed but little since be
lett Greenville, about the only notice
able difference IN his appearance being
| that he is some stOuter."

A Word to Our Delinquents.

In last week s issue was crowded the
news Of Its own and also news of week
before, in which we gave the printers
holiday and made no paper. We say
now, therefore, what we had III mind
to say last week. but for which we
could not find space.
First, we thank those who have
placed themselves across the line OF
"dellrquents" by settling up. Some
have done so and we have been greatly
helped by their so doing. But many
have seemingly disregarded all our
appeals and have neither paid us nor
have they explained by word or letter
why they have been silent. To many
such we say In candor that we regret
to drop their names from our list, but
we cannot carry them longer unless
they pay us or make some satisfactory
promise or arrangement about what
they owe.
To such we are compelled to say that
our mailing list is now being revised
and unless heard from before next
press day they will get THE COMMON
WEALTH no more. We have given to
the 10th of January by which time
most people have settled last years
business and made arrangements for
this SO, if THE COMMONWEALTH is to
be arranged for at all this winter all
have had time to do so.
Friends,we have been to great expense
and personal labor to send you clean
paper, faithful to the best interests of
all the people as we have seen it; and
now as honest and square people, white
Or black, you who have taken the pa
per and read it owe it to your own
interest, to say nothing of ours.
to make some payment or expla-
nation why you do not.
But the parting has come and many
of our delinquents who are already far
behind Will receive this paper no more
unless we get some money from them
Or some very strong assurance of some
kind in the near future.

Some Changes in Town.

There have been very few business
changes in town thus far in the new
year. Mr.. J. B. Edwards who has been
keeping books for NJ Hoffman & Bro.
for several years, has bought out the
stock of goods of W. L. Harrell and is
merchandising at the stand occupied
last year by Mr.. Harrell.
We have doubtless failed to learn of
all the movings in town. We note the
following: Rev. o. Ryder, new pastor
of the Methodist church, has moved
here and is occupying the Methodist
parsonage.
Mr.. G. w. Cougheuour has moved

his own residence in GAINESVILLE Mr.. B.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
Hon. w. A. MACCORKLE,
Ex-Gov. of West Virginia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack OF la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. it counteracts any tend
ency of cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. 1t Is the best
remedy in the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted.
