EF. Cruic;;i;e!d gene ic Ellington.

Mr.. J. E. Crutchfeld, who for
three and a half months has been
local editor and business manager
of The COMMONWEALTH, left the
office last Thursday to accept the
position Of superintendent of the
Harnett county high school at Lii
lington. It will be remembered by
the readers Of this paper that the
! editor was in poor health in the
spring py reason Of q severe attacl;
OF grippe and that Mr.. CrutchtieId
came to his assistance that he might
secure rest and regain his strength.
During the short period in which
Mr.. Crutchfleld has devoted his time
to the papers interest he has made
a host Of friends in Scotland Neck
and in Halifax county. He has more
than fulfilled the promises which we
made for him when he assumed the
work, and all who have come in
contact with him in business way
and in social life have been greatly
pleased with his uniform courtesy
and we'll impressed with his unusual
intelligence.
While Mr.. Crutchield has given
most Of the time since his gradua-
ton at Wake Forest College to the
profession Of teaching, he has real
Journalistic ability, and would do
the profession great honor should he
ever choose to follow it. Having
given special attention to prepara-
ton for teaching, however, he pre-
fers to follow that profession, for
which he feels best fitted, and so will
continue to devote his talent and
ability to work IN the school-room.
We commend MIR. Crutchfeld to
the people of Ellington and Harnett
county as scholarly, heightened
Christian gentleman, with all that
these qualifications can include, and
trust that he may attain unto that
success in his new field Of labor to
which his energy and ability en-
title him.
1t goes without saying that we re-
leased him with great reluctance
and the people Of Scotland Neck saw
him depart with great regret.

his launch.
After a cool and refreshing drive
out from town the party reached Mr..

the occasion) about $50. A lunch
that was delicious and tempting was
served on the lawn. Soon the party
made their way down the river where
the neat and comfortable little launch
Of Mr.. Smiths own make awaited
them. 1t is pretty little craft and
is a marvel of the hosts mechanical
skill. It makes about 10 or II miles
an hour and carries with comfort a
dozen people.
The trip extended to Caledonia, "

Il miles. This point was reach about
$50 and it was with reluctance that
the bow was then turned homeward.
1t was quite a picturesque and
charming trip and was heartily en-
joyed by every member of the party.
The night was ideal, not even a mos
quito married the pleasure Of the oc-
casion.
Mr.. Smith is that kind Of a host
that impresses upon you the fact
that the Southern hospitality Of the
ante-bellum days is with us still.
