Closing Exercises al Mullen's High
School.
Written for The Commonwealth.
NUMBER 10.


Friday, MAY 18th was a great day
for the friends, patrons and pupils
of Mullen's High school, who came
in great numbers to witness the clos.
ing exercises. The school has been
under the management of Miss Fan
ME Sharpe Joyner the past year. and
the splendid training her pupils have
received and the marked progress
they have made were quite evident
in the splendid program that was
rendered. Mr.. Ashby w. Dunn,
Superintendent of the Scotland Neck
public schools, made the address for
the occasion. and also delivered two
medals that were given for deport-
ment. After the exercises were con-
cluded the large number that was
present assembled on the grounds
and partook Of the bounteous repast
that had been prepared after which
several familiar and old time games
were played until the time for de-
parture. The day was perfect sue
cess in every respect, and the people
in that section have full right to be
proud of their school and it's excell-
ent teacher.

The Deadly Fly.

The flies, hot weather and disease
come together.
The picture of the work that the
fly does in your house is not otexagger-
ated.
You see for yourself how two or
three flies that survive the winter
suddenly multiply into thousands.
Remember that the disease germs
scattered by the flies multiply by
millions and billions.
Remember, above all things, that
you and your children in order to be-
come diseased must swallow the dis
ease. Few-very few-of the dis
eases, such as scarlet fever and small
pox, can be Caught" as the saying
is.
But typhoid and the innumerable
intestinal poisonings that aff1ict chill
dren come and come only from swal-
lowing disease germs.
When the flies appear lny your house
they come with their spongy feet la
den with filth, laden with the germs
Of disease.
They alight and feed on garbage,
on piles of the vilest refuse.
One foot of one fly can bring in
enough disease germs to contaminate
a awhole family.
You can't kill the germs are
too small.
But you can kill the flies, and, bet
ter still, you can screen your doors
and windows and keep them out.
If at this time of the year poison
Gus snakes began to appear in your
house, you would make all necessary
preparations to exclude or kill the
snakes.
Remember that for one person kill
ed by snakes thousand are killed
by the disease germ that the fly scat
ters on food.
Avoid flies and you avoid disease.

The Bright Side.
(Mrs. M. A. Kidder, in Philadelphia
Bulletin.)

(Mrs. M. A. Kidder, in Philadelphi,
Bulletin.)
There is many a rest in the road O.
life,
1t we only would stop to take it,
And many a tone from the bette!
land,
If the querulous heart would wake
it!
10 the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er
faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers
bright,
Though the wintry storm prevail
eth.
Better to hope, though the clouds
hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon
peep through,
When the ominous clouds are
rifted!
There was never a night without a
day,
Or an evening withouta morning.
And the darkest hour, as the proverb
goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is ever a gem in the path of
life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled
crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven;
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready
heart
And the hands that are swift and
willing,
Than to snap the delicate, slender
threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tan
gled ends,
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

In MemOriam.

On May 3, 1910, the death angel
entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Cullom and claimed their lit
tie daughter, Loucille. Little Lou
cille had lived to bless her home Is
months and a days. She was sick
but few days. Fond parents, friends
and a physician did all they could
for her but she only found relief in
death. She has gone to be with Je-
sus who said, suffer the little chill
dren to come unto me for of such is
the kingdom of heaven. Her going
has cast a shadow over the home she
for short time blessed but she is
happy with the angels in the Fathers
home on high. Her funeral was
preached the following dcy by Rev.
S. w. Taylor and she was laid to
rest in the family burying ground
in the presence of number of rela-
tives and friends. Fond parents con-
sole yourselves with the sweet
thought that, if faithful be by and
by shall see her again and be with
her forever more. Loucille is not
dead but sleepeth.
Though you miss the bright smiles
and cooling notes that made your
days so bright, you should not grieve
for her. Why should you wish to
call back to earth this immortal bud,
plucked from your fond embrace by
some bright winged angel who bore
it heavenward through the pearly
gates which stood ajar, to unfold an
unfading flower in the eternal land
in which the angel of death never
enters.
We miss thee from our home dear,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow Ger our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine Of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.

ESCAPED FROM The law"
A Pleasing Entertainment at the ODera
House Thursday Night.
Reported for The Commonwealth

Reported for The Commonwealth
A large number of the represent.
atlve people Of Scotland Neck were
delightfully."- entertained last Thurs
day night by an ameteur theatrical
performance under the able manage
ment of Mrs. A. L. burlington.
Histrionic talent of no mean order
was displayed by all those taking
parts. Their work showed not only
familiarity with their lines, but care
full and thoughtful preparation and
training. The interest was sustain
ed throughout, not dull moment
being felt by any Of the audience.
The play was Escaped From The
Law and deals with the past life
of Madam Damaire, whose difficult
role was most admirably sustained
and interpreted by Miss Anna Bar
row Clark. The part of her husband.
General Burleigh, a large mill own
er. was most naturally portrayed by
Mr.. A. L. burlington, whose render
ing of the part was really true to
nature. DR.. j. E. Shields, both as
Monsieur Felix Beauplan and the
doctor, was perfectly at his ease and
true to his delineation of his role.
Miss Anna Kitchin made an entranc
ing and charming young widow,
Mrs. Dalroy, who most successfully
overcame the prejudices Of the mill
superintendent. John Middleton,
whose faithfulness to his employer.
the general, and resourcefu1ness
under difficulties, as given by Mr..
Charles Lamb. carried the audience
with him. The william of the play,
Michael Hatfield, who was repre-
sented by Mr.. Harry Lee Mcdowell,
obeying the law of opposites, was
particularly strong in his rendering
of the part. Mr.. Noah Biggs Bryan,
Mr.. Allison Mcdowell and Miss
Ellen Speed, were each of them
above criticism. Mr.. Bryan natur-
Hibernianism causing roars Of laugh
ter; Mr.. Allison Mcdowell as Anto-
1io Pittore, leaving nothing undone
n his portrayal. and Miss Ellen
Speed, although young in years,
showing a full grasp of her juvenile
ole.
Mrs. A. L. burlington deserves
more than any one else the full
mead of praise. Her duties as stage
manager were not allowed to take
from her successful rendl-
ion of the difficult role of the
french maid, Mile. Kitty, whose
left wits were always in evidence
Erecting and influencing all the
,arying situations.
Miss Hattie Leggett played ac- {
compartments for Miss Katherine {
Miss Laura Clark, Miss
lucille Leggett and Miss Mamie
lamb in the catchy songs and
lances, which were very fetching
md pleased every one.
We may not go further except to
ay that it was the most successful
lmeteur performance in all ways
,ver given in the city, and each and {
every one of those participating de- {
erve the thanks of the community.

Failing light are pale and wan

Softly chilly twilight goes,
Softly comes the nights repose.
