The Land Sale.

The sale Of lots in West Scotland
Neck took place Tuesday as had
been advertised. About fifty lots
were sold to the highest bidder, and
they went readily. They averaged
something like one hundred dollars
each. The free lot was drawn by
Mr.. G. w. Bryan. Several gold
pieces were given away free and a
bag of silver scattered over the
crowd, and such a scramble for the
nickles and dimes.
The Atlantic Coast Realty Com
pany, of Greenville, certainly handle
the sale in way that pleased every-
body. The two Burtons did the
talking in an interesting manner,
and it is not often that two men
talk so we'll. The Rocky Mount
band made music for all.
This property has been bought by
some of our best people, and we ex-
pect to see the west end of our town
soon built up.
The town is not dead, as the old
croakers would have believe, for
they said, no doubt, the lots would
never be sold.

Death OF Little Dewey CheSSOn.

Suddenly and without warning, in
the early morning of Friday. the
18th, did the Angel Of Death" en-
ter the home Of Mr.. AMI Mrs. H. W.
Chessom, of Tillery, and snatch from
them their first born, little boy of
six years.
Dewey was child Of very bright
mind, loving and affectionate dispo-
sition. With heart and hands ever
ready for loving service to those
about him, especially to the mother
on her bed of suffering, he came to
be a bright little sunbeam in the
home; the light and comfort of his
parents, even though but six years
old. He was, indeed, bud OF
beauty and promise, snatched, to
bloom so soon meath milder skies.
We know that life lay all before
him untried, untrod; the future was
all unknown. We know not what
the coming years may have brought
to him, his childish laughter and
mirth may soon have changed to
Gloom, for into each life the dark
ness and sorrow must come. Meth
err do we know what harm the strife
and conflict may have done his soul.
So. parents, rather be glad that your
boy is safe in the arms of Jesus. .
We feel that the cloud is your heart
and brow, the tears in your eyes,
but weep not father and mother for
he could not wait when Jesus was
calling, but he will be waiting and
watching to "swing wide the golden
gate" that he may bid you "wel-
come" over there.
"And so he left you, winding
His upward flight afar,
Till, through the night,
There shone the light
Of one more radiant Star.
Through countless years
No bitter tears
Shall dim those lustrous eyes;
No signs shall mar the singing
Beneath those cloudless skies y

Do farmers eat the proper
sort OF food

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is SO because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the cl,,'
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.
Packed in regular size packages,
and in Theoretically sealed tins for hot
climates. 81
