DR.. T. D. Kitchin Gets Another
Ducking on the Creek Road.

One cold day last week DR.. T.
D. Kitchin got a ducking and had
a narrow escape from serious in
jury out on the Creek road, at
Jacobs swamp, about three miles
from town. He was driving the
young horse he purchased recent
ly when, on a narrow embank-
ment, he met a wagon loaded
with beds, mattresses, tin pans,
stoves and everything else you
can think of that folks pile on a
wagon when they are moving.
The horse did not like the looks
of things at all, so he promptly
jumped down one side the en-
bankment, throwing DR.. Kitch-
in between the wheels Of the
buggy in water to his neck. If
the horse could have kept going
DR.. Kitchin would probably have
been seriously hurt, but fortu-
nately the first plunge jammed
the horse against a bank and it
not could move an inch.
Some men who came along in
a buggy shortly afterwards
brought DR.. Kitchin back to
town, and as it was a cold day
and he was drenched to his neck
the ride back was anything but
pleasant. Neither DR.. Kitchin
nor the horse suffered any seri-
GUS injury, but tse buggy was
pretty badly used up.
1t was about two miles beyond
where this accident occurred, on
the same road, that DR.. Kitchin's
other horse missed a bridge dur
ing the freshet in August and he
and Mr.. James D. Proctor had to
get out in waterup to their waists
and let the horse swim out into
the river. That time, too, the
horse got against an obstruction
that kept it from swimming out
to the main current, where il
would probably have beer
drowned.
DR.. Kitchin has bad luck or
the Creek road, but he has his
nerve with him and drives thu
same horses over the same roaC
whenever he has occasion to d.
so.

Another Thief Comes to Grief at
White & Coughs Store.

Another person, a negro this
time, tried to get away with
something at White & Coughs
store the other day and came to
grief. Woody Page is his name,
somewhere near Pages Mills, S.
c., is the place of his local habi-
tation and an aggressive black is
color. He loafed into White &
Coughs store Thursday and de-
clded that he must have asweat-
er without money and without
price. He hung around in the
morning without seeing his
chance, for Mr.. N. P. Andrews
was watching, and Mr.. Andrews
was watching in the afternoon,
too, but Woody slipped q sweat
er under his coat. Then Mr..
Andrews got busy and grabbed
Woody, and it was a busy time
for several people for a few
minutes. Mr.. Andrews and Mr..
Jno. French both nabbed Woody
and attempted to hold him, but
Woody is a powerful negro, and
in his efforts to get away he
dragged Messrs. Andrews and
French over several counters and
piles of goods, knocking down
shoes and other things that re-
quired several men several hours
to rearrange. Calvin Lowrey,
a Croatan, who is also very much
of a man, came to the rescue fl
nally and succeeded in holding
Woody, who was tried a little
later before Justice Woodberry
Lennon and committed to Jail to
await trial, since he could moi
give the bond in the sum of $1OC
required.
A negro woman who was
caught hiding things under her
baby's clothes the other day ir
the same store was allowed to &c
on account of the baby, but
Messrs. White & Cough have de.
termined tc prosecute every one
caught stealing in their store
hereafter.

able to sit up and get about the

School Closing Entertainment
Friday Evening-Miss Watson
Not to Return.

An entertainment will be given
by the school children Friday
evening, either in the school
auditorium or the Opera House,
marking the close of the graded
schools for a twO-weeks' holiday
season. The children have been
practicing for the entertainment
for some time and the occasion
will be a most enjoyable one.
1t is with regret that announce
ment is made in this connection
that Miss Mary Watson, who has
taught the primary department
| in schools here for the past five
years, has resigned her position
and will not return after the
holidays. Miss Watson is a most
efficient teacher. 1t is with re-
luctance that her resignation is
accepted by the school board and
the people of Lumberton regret
to give her up. She resigns be,
cause her presence is necessary
at her home at Riverton, Scot
land county.
Miss Watson's successor has
not yet been selected.
