Capt. McNaughton and Family
to Go to California--May De-
eide to Locate There.

Capt. and Mrs D. w. McNaugh-
ton and Mrs. McNaughton's Sis
ter, Miss Gertrude Markham, of
Boardman, expect to leave next
Thursday for San Francisco, Cali
fornia. They will buy a through
ticket from Wilmington, but have
not decided yet exactly the route
they will take. They will stop
at St. Louis and Salt Lake City,
a day or so at each place, and will
also stop at Dutch Flat, Califor-
MIA, where they will spend two
or three weeks. Capt. McNaugh-
ton has a sister there whom he
has not seen in thirty-two years.
Capt. and Mrs. McNaughton
will probably make Los Angeles,
California, their home. They do
not expect to return under a year,
and if Capt. McNaughton finds
anything worth his time in Cali
fornia he says he may never re-
turn. He has not sold his intel
est IN his property at BOardman,
but will if he decides not to re-
turn.
Capt. McNaughton is a Cana
dian by birth, but has spent the
greater part of his life in the
United States. He has been ir
the Lumber business for thirty
/ years and has met with much
success. He has been in the bust
ness at Boardman for ten years
and expects to follow the same
/ business in California. He was
married at Bigg Rapids, Michi
gan, in 1885, where he lived fol-
several years and came from
there to North Carolina. The
leaving of Capt. McNaughtor
and his family will not only be q
loss to Boardman, but they will
be greatly missed by their many
friends and acquaintance else
where. 1t is hoped that they
will return to North Carolina.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
On Sunday night at 10 O'Clock, June
IA, the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. Tom Britt and relieved him of all
worldly griefs and pains after about
three years of suffering with a cruel
cancer on his face.
He was about 33 years of age and a
devoted husband and kind and affec-
tionate father. He left a wife, four
children, a father and mother, three
sisters and one brother, and host of
friends to mourn their loss. His funer-
al was preached by Rev. J. B. Jackson
at O'Clock Monday afternoon. The re-
mains were inferred in the burying
ground at Back Swamp church where
he held his membership, to await the
resurrection morn.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The Carpenter Vaudeville Co. =
Performances Well Attended
Some Interesting Stunts.

The Carpenter Vaudeville Co.,
with Albertus, known as the
"Handcuff King, as the prin-
cipal attraction, has peen hold
ing the boards at the opera house
every evening this week and will
give performances this evening,
tomorrow evening and Saturday
evening. The performances so
far given have been we'll attended
and very much enjoyed, the fea-
lures other than the stunts by
Albertus being very good. And
Mr.. Albertus makes everybody
sit up and take notice. Some
men from the audience go upon
the stage and put several hand
cuffs upon Mr.. Albertus, who
then retires into a little cabinet
on the stage and soon comes out
unshackled and free; they tie
him to a chair-tie his arms and
legs and pass cords around his
neck, tying his head back. It's
no use; they shove him back into
the cabinet and soon he reap
pears united. The straight-jack-
ct stunt he does in view of the
audience, and also the escape
from the insane cot. 1t looks like
when he is strapped in the jacket
or on the cot that it would be i'm
possible to get out or up without
assistance, but he does, somehow !
or somehow else. Last evening
they nailed him in a box, and he
came out of that.
Yesterday afternoon at $50
o'clock some 1000 people wit
messed the sensational dive made
by Mr.. Albertus from the old
bridge. In full view of the crowd
Mr.. Albertus' hands were chain
ed together and the chain lock-
ed, and then he jumped into the
river, feet foremost. When he
came to the surface he had no
chains upon his hands. He does
not profess to be any great shakes
as a swimmer, so he was taken
to land in a boat, which was in
readiness.
The Carpenter Vaudeville Co.
and Mr.. Albertus are furnishing
entertainment and ground for
speculation.

IN THE MAYORS COURT.
Fined for Using Profane Lam
guage How a Chicken Thief
Was Caught.

Tuesday afternoon Will Love,
colored, was arrested by Chief of
Police F. J. Floyd and brought
before Mayor j. A. Rowland for
using prOfane language on the
streets. Love was fined $3.50
and as he could not pay the fine
he was turned over to Mr.. Far
rell, contractor in charge of the
water and sewer extension work,
to work it out on the streets.
Yesterday Henry Davis, color
ed, was hauled before Mayor
Rowland on the charge of stccl-
ing chickens and as Henry cvull
not give the bond in the sum #
5000 required he was sent to jail.
Henry's arrest came abOutin his
wise:
Yesterday morning Mr.. Walter
Shooter found box containing
several chickens near the tracks
Of the Virginia & Carolina South
ern Railroad, not far from the
depot. Mr.. Shooter came up
town and found Policeman D.
w. Biggs, who went to the
place designated by Mr.. Shooter
and watched for developments.
At the end of about an hours
watch Mr.. Biggs saw Henry
Davis cautiously approach the
box of chickens, after carefully
looking about, and Henry was
busy taking them out of the
box and tying them with a string
when Mr.. Biggs appeared and
told him he would have to come
along. Henry was ugly about it
and did not want to go with Mr..
Biggs at all and Mr.. Biggs had
to club him into submission.
When brought before Mayor
Rowland Henry pleaded not gull
ty, but he was caught with the
goods, so it was no use.
Messrs. N. J. Thompson, Julian
Pope, and Walter and E. E Shoot
er and perhaps others have been
missing chickens lately, and it is
thought that perhaps the main
reason for the disappearance of
their chickens is now lodged in
Jail.

Ny little boy, four years old,

We had two physicians; both of

him Chamberlain's Colic Cholera

cured him and believe that saved
his life.-WILLIIAM H. Stroll

Three Good Men Suggested for

Three Good Men Suggested for
Commissioners.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Will you allow me space in
your paper for a suggestion Of
some mems names to be our
county commissioners? These
are worthy men and tits a most
important place and we need
good men to fill the Office. l
would suggest the names of
Messrs. R. o. Pitman, George L.
Thompson and R. D. Caldwell.
l would like for these men to get
the nomination, as l don't think
they could be bettered in the
county. They are honest and
honorable gentlemen and are
generally known throughout the
county. Mr.. Thompson is a son
of the late Mr.. Thompson, of
Back Swamp, and is an ideal gen.
tleman: Mr.. Pitman is son OF
the late Mr.. Henry Pitman, who
was commissioner in my boyhood
days; and Mr.. R. O. Pitman was
sheriff of Robson and was one
of the best sheriffs the county
has ever had; and Mr.. Caldwell
| is 80 we'll known that could not
add anything to his reputation
He has once served the county
and gave entire satisfaction.
| l would urge that these three
be nominated, for | can't thinl
anyone would be more competen
than these.
