WALTER, N. G,
May 5, 1908.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Crawford, of
Kinston, after spending a few days
here, returned home last Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bud Lynch, from
Johnston county spent last Sunday
with Mrs. Eliza Ingram near Ebe-
q
Miss Lalla Smith attended the S.
S. Convention at Kinston, last week,
8 delegate from Ebenezer, and re-
lports a most enjoyable trip.
Little Lutte, the bright 4-year-old,
~ot Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Lane, was
badly bitten on the ear by a cat she
was carrying in her arms n day
last week.
Mrs. J. H. Caldwell and Mr.. Wade
Caldwell left Friday for Lemon
Springs to attend the commencement
exercises of Miss Matte Caldwell's
school, which takes place this week.
Mrs. N. J. Northam and daughter,
Miss Ophelia, of Wilmington, were
here last week, to attend the we'd
ding. Miss Ophelia will visit your
city, Kinston and Kittrell, before re-
turning home.
Last year seed peas were worth
$3.50 per bushel. Now the woods are
full of them and so cents is all one
can get offered for them. We think
it would pay better to feed them to
the stock than take that price.
Messrs. H. T. Jones and John
Mitchell spent two days in Kinston
-last week, attending the S. S. Con-
vention. They report a very enthu-
=siastic meeting, and were highly en-
tertained by those hospitable peo-
pie.
Mrs. A. B. Sasser, of Smithfeld,
who has many friends in this COM
munity, was here last week. She
was accompanied by Miss Bert Ste
VCIS, U1O SI1o 11l1hS 49, VI
Johnston's popular County Clerk.
We were real glad to see them.
Master Luby Hines, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Rich Hines, while playing
with some machinery around Mr..
Perry Cox's saw mill, got two of his
fingers cut nearly off. DR.. Crawford
dressed them for him, and we think
next time he plays with a saw mill
he will leave his hands at home.
MI. Will Ingram has been a suf-
ferer with rheumatism for many
years, and some one told him to rub
with gasoline. This he was doing
one day last week, while sitting in
front of the fire, and it caught, burn
ing his leg severely from the knee to
the foot. The contents of the bottle,
in his excitement, were thrown in
the corner Of the room, this being
ignited came near doing much dam
age. If we were rubbing with gaso-
line We should prefer being behind
the house in the shade, especially if
the sun was shining.
The marriage of Mr.. John r.
Smith and Mrs. Ophelia Crawford,
which took place at Oak Glen, last
Thursday afternoon, was the con-
summation of an event in which
more interest has been centered than
anything that has transpired in this
community IN many years. Rev. III.
E. Trip performed the ceremony in
the presence of friends and relatives
of both parties, while the wedding
march was rendered by the skillful
touch of Mrs. r. P. Howell. The
attendants were, Mr.. and Mrs. Phil
Crawford, DIR. and Mrs. Will Craw-
ford. The bride entered upon the
arm Of her daughter Miss Berta
Crawford, and met the groom, with
his son Mr.. George Smith, ard amid
the good wishes of many friends,
heard the solemn ceremony, which
made them man and wife. Both
have numerous friends who wish
them many yecrs of happiness, and
the full measure of welded joy, and
heightened years of usefulness. There
were no cards. Quite a crowd from
your city were here Thursday after
noon to witness the marriage.
Among the number and immediate
friends of the contracting parties,
were, Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson,
Messrs. I. F.. Switzerland. Tom SIt-
