"Well Satisfied"

Some time ago number OF opera
tives for the knitting mills came from
Rich Square to Scotland Neck, and
their coming was noted by the Roam
oke-C howan Times, published at Rich
square. Last week under the heading
"Well Satisfied" the same paper
said: .
cit was predicted by some that the
families that moved from here to Scot
land Neck some time ago would not
be satisfied, but such seems rot to be
the case. We learn that in private let
tiers to friends here Mrs. N. E. Bowers
writes that she likes the place the people
and the work better than she expected
she would before going, and that both
she and Mrs. Shoulars are we'll satisfied
and doing we'll"
And it is no surprise that those who
come are satisfied. It is generally SO
with all who come to Scotland Neck.
It is indeed most delightful place to
live and few live here for any appfecia-
ole time who wish to leave. Let those
who can and will build houses so that
Others who wish to moye here may do
so and likewise be satisfied.

Curtain Falls on Second Act.

The second act in the "string and
nail" comedy-farce with which some
OF the most peaceable, quiet and un-
obtrusive citizens of Scotland Neck
have recently been so much terrorlzed,
developed rather dramatic phase
in its closing scene last Friday night
when the devotees of that lnglorlous
sport gathered their cohorts for
council Of war upon the innocent and
unwary, and conceallng their identity
behind 1.-The friendly mask of the
nocturnal, shades, proceeded to the
residence of Mr.. E. K. Hasseli to ex
ult in the revelry of an application OF
the modus opeyandi which has been
so effectual in it's potency for blending
terror with sweet repose and happy
dreams. The climax was ushered In
by startling developments from an un-
expected source, for in that supreme
moment when the internal machine
was getting in tie best of its diabolical
work and making night hideous with
screenings the most weird, uncanny,
ard bio d-curdiing that ever fell on
mortal ears or appalled, human hcars,
the sharp, whip-like report of the
famous Winchester rang out keen and
clear and reverberated in prolonged
detonations through the gloom. That
awful stiffness that always precedes the
bursting OF the storm now momentarily
prevailed, when again that terrible
repeater, which is veritable battery
within itself. awose the echoes tar and
wide. as shot after shot followed each
other in rapid succession. The ranks
broke. Consideration ensued and the
precipitancy with which dark forms
sped through the shadows in their
hasty and disorderly retreat through
brier, bramble and upturned sod can
only be imagined by those who were
eye witnesses to the pltlable spectacle
presented by at least one Of the par
ticlpants whose dilapidated condition
suggested nothing so much as the sole
survivor OF dynamite explosion or
vanquished knight of the fstic
arena. Close communion with Mother
Earth. abundant traces of whose
fond embrace chung in unblushing
affection to every portion of spoiled
suit, perhaps offers the best explana-
ton of how a tragedy was narrowly
ayerted and wiser but sadder young
man reclaimed from the "error Of his
way" and restored to the peaceful pur-
suit of loftier ideals.

friend of Herbert. Miss Matte Cot
