Pleads for a Public Square.

To the Editor of The COMMONWEALTH j:
Dear Sir II beg for space in your
valuable paper to call attention to the
public and the honorable board OF
town commissioners OF the great need
OF public square in our beautiful ard
growing town. We have nothing Of
the kind no place to 60 to in the eve
ming; no place Tor our children to go
and get Whit OF air.
Now, there is square in East Scot
land Neck directly opposite the depot.
There is not a house on this plat of
land and 1t can be had at low cost to
the town, and the cost of identifying
would be small. People passing to
and from Scotland Neck could have a
pleasant place to pass the time when
waiting for trains. It would be an ad-
yertlsement to our town and BE- all Or
nament that we all would be proud of.
Shall we let this chance pass to &C.
cure this property? The voice OF the
people will answer, No. Let's have it
and at once.
1 hope the editor will look into this
matter and give his personal attentie n
to It, chen / feel sure we will get it.

Deash Of a Bright Lad.

On Wednesday, May LIST, at 5o'clock
p. M, Ben Harrell, son of Mr.. and Mrs
B. T. Harrel!, died after severe ILL
ness of seven weeks. He was Is years
old on the 18th day Of January and
was the pride and idol of the good
household Of which he was a member.
His first illness was typhoid pneu-
monia, which was followed by rheu-
matism. This developed an abscess in
the knee with which he suffered much.
Indeed his sufferings were great from
the beginning.
For the few days preceding his death
he was greatly improving and his ply
stefan, with others, was quite hopeful.
Two days before he died he wrote quite
a nice letter to his sister, Mrs. Cohoon
at Everetts. On the day OF his death
he ate good breakfast and good dim
ner and was feeling we'll and talked OF
getting up and walking.
In the afternoon he was sleeping,
and seemed to awake suddenly, he gasp
ed. and was dead in moment. His
mother, who had kept faithful watch
by him after recovering from her own
illness, was alone with him when he
died.
Seldom has there been shown such SYM
pathy for stricken family. The boy
had been nigh unto death for weeks,
and just when they thought he was
about to be restored he was taken,
which made the shock all the more
severe.
Thursday afternoon admidst large
concourse of friends and sympathizers
the remains were laid to rest In the
Baptist cemetery, Rey. M. l.. Kesler
conducting the services.
Ben was a clever and polite boy, we'll
known and much liked by all the peo-
pie of the town. His devotion to his
mother and sisters was always beauti-
ful. During his sickness he often pray
ed and one time, day or two before
his, death sang "Jesus, lover OF my
SOUL"
It is the consollng faith of the fond
parents and those who knew him best
that the Lord has taken the fresh young
lie to transplant 1t in his glorious king
dom of immortality beyond.
Letters of touching sympathy have
come to Mr.. and Mrs. Harrell from
friends away, and they have the sym

CRIMINAL COURT IN SESSION.
A Large pocket.

Criminal court opened In Halifax
Monday with Judge E. Z. Bryan pre-
siding. The DOCKET is we'll filled and
there is large number of prisoners in
Jail.
Immediately after the opening Of
court, the jurors were called and q
grand jury drawn as follows:
D. G. Fenner, foreman, G. H. Miller
Sam Moore, A. L. burlington, J. W.
Crawley, F. j. Keeter, Eli Mitchell, J.

w. Hammill, B. r. Solomon, W. M.
Myrlck, B. T. Massey, r. L. Wilson
and L. J. Baker.
THE JUDGES CHARGE. ;
Judge Bryan at once charged the
grand jury and emphasized their oath
that they were to do their duty regard
less of consequences, seeking to please
nor displease any one. "In neither fear
nor favor, without reward Or the hope
Of reward" are the terms in which the
grand jury's duty is defined.
Judge Bryan's charge was full, touch
ing the most important offenses against
the criminal law, and dwelling with
emphasis on important features of Ger
tain crimes. He read pretty freely
from notes, which showed that he had
prepared his charge carefully.
Judge Bryan is a young man and
his term of Office as Judge of this
Criminal court district is short, he
having been appointed to fill out the
term of Judge Moore who resigned
some time ago.
This will be the last Criminal court
held in Halifax, as by act of the Legis.
lature this court will cease July LIST.
Solicitor Daniel was ready for every
case on the docket and his usual vigor-
Gus prosecution characterized his work
this week. He is easily one OF the
best Solicitors in the State, and
throughout his entire term Of Office
thus far he has rendered the State most
excellent service.
Judge Bryan made a good impress
sion. He is courteous to all in court,
which always causes people to like
Judge.
