school here next Tuesday.
The address will be at II o'clock,
a. M 1t is not known at this writ
ing where tho place of meeting will
be, but committee of the board of

Superintendent Wilson has been
fortunate in securing Governor
Glenn for the occasion, and he will
ask the merchants to close their

they did on memorial day, 80 that
all may have an opportunity to hear
him.
There has been some inquiry as to
the hour when Governor Glenn will
speak, and so particular emphasis is
given that it will be at II O'Clock
a. m. Let as many as possibly can
avail themselves of this opportunity
to hear Governor Glenn.

Closing Of COlOred Graded School.

The colored graded school, under
the principalship of Thos. Shields,
closed last Friday night, May 10th.
The exercises consisted of songs and
recitations by the pupils, which did
credit to the work of the teachers.
The main feature Of the exercises
was ali address byProf. P. W. Moore,
principal of the coiored Normal
School at Elizabeth City. The ad-
dress was carefully prepared and
was we'll delivered. 1t dealt with
the necessity proper and safe leaders
for the colored race, and was rich in
along that line. Purity
of life, faithfulness to obligations
and conscientious discharge Of duty
were some Of the main features
dWelt upon in the address. 1t was
timely and will doubtless be fruitful
Of good.
Such noble ideas as were held up
in the address should be inspiring to
any people, and the people to whom
they were presented In Scotland
Neck will surely profit by them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; n1ne cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

' So Glad He Took 1t.

A good citizen in another part OF
the county for whom the editor of
THE COMMONWEALTH about year
ago wrote insurance in the Union
Central, writes now that he is glad
indeed that he took the insurance.
He says his health is very poor now,
and if he had waited perhaps he
would not have been able to get the
insurance at all.
If you need insurance you would
better take it at once. Your health
might fail also, and then the older
you grow the more it will cost you.
The Union Central offers insur-
ance equal to any other and super
ior to many other contracts. 1t leads
in dividends to policy holders.
If you want a policy call on or
