knc NG8eE III N ellSS river Is ia1lIUg
slowly to-day, but is still too high to
permit crossing at the covered bridge.
The water in Little liver is also run
ming over the embankment at the
! asylum bridge and there has been
no crossing at this bridge since Fri
! day. At Grifin's lumber mill, on
| Neuse river, which is the highest
place on the river, the banks being
20 feet from low water mark, the
water is running over all the MAJ
F.! cbinery and running into the fire box
| of the boiler. The mill can only be
reached by a canoe.
Miss Alice Aycock, daughter Of
| Governor Aycock, has been in the
| friend Miss Rosa Powell. Both
|young ladies left last Tuesday for
Fremont to attend the marriage of
Morgan. The ceremony took place
idence of DIR. j. E. Person, where
Miss Morgan was boarding while
teaching school in the neighborhood.
Both the contracting parties r well
known in this city, where they have
many friends who will extend con-
CALCULATIONS.
Governor Aycock is scheduled to
speak at Mt. Olive next Saturday
.iaffernoon at 3 o'clock. The occasion
is to be made an educational rally.
The Legislature gave the people of
| the Mt. Olive graded school district
an opportunity to vote on a bond is
sue for the purpose of erecting a
school building. The work of the
graded school since it's Inauguration,
two years ago, has been handicapped
} for the lack of a suitable building and
the governor has been invited to
make the address with the hope that
! he will inspire sufficient educational
5 sentiment to carry the election.
