II didn't rain. the latter being very
surprising event, for we do not rcmcm-
her ever having participated in ith of
July celebration when a Squall did not
come off before midnight anyway Per
haps il was the cause" that held back
the weeping clouds, for our Methodist
friends are raising money tn build their
new church in Snow Hill and they were
responsible for the very successful celc-
bration here The festival was held on
the school house grounds and the orator
of the day was the Hon Jonathan =

tion.
In the afternoon the first thing on the
program was flag drill ny number uf
young ladies dressed in white with red
Sashes and blue caps. carrying small
flags They executed their drill III per
feet order and the people were delight
cd with them. Miss Annie Stevenson
was their instructor and ON this occa-
sion directed the drill, while Miss Edna
Hudson played the marches and patri-
otiC airs
Mr.. Willis was introduced tothc large
assembly by Rev : NJ Morgan and he
made an excellent address. altogether
different from any ithsof July Grafton
grand country ours is and how proud
we should h. of il. and he told it in
such forccful. attractive. novel man
ner that the people Were delighted. He
is very able man and his selection as
the orator of the day was no mistake.
In the evening the flag drill was re-
pcated by request and Prof. Lewis G.
Bochm. of New York, son of Mr. and
Mrs. l.. Edward Boehm. of this town.

Berlins best business men. a hustler,

He's got the ability to represent the
county. and we will guarantee it will
he represented in the true sense of the
word if he is nominated. His candidacy
should be equal to a nomination. and a
nomination is equal to an election. As
