Lost by Bank Failure.

We saw an old gentleman here
Saturday from near Hobgood who
said he had between $1,000 and
$4,000 in the defunct bank at Tar
boro, and that this amount represen-
ted almost his life's savings The
old gentleman said he had worked
hard all his life and had frequently
denied himself of little pleasures and
indulgences in order that he might
save up little for old age, and now
that age had crept upon him, SO far
as he then knew, he had no more
than when he started life. He SEEM
ed to take the matter philosophically,
saying that it was matter that
could not be helped and there was
no use grieving over split milk.
Several people in Scotland Neck. we
hear, were touched a little by the
downfall Of this institution. We
heard one man say he had few
hundred in the bank when the col
lapse came, and have heard of others
who were wearing the same shoe. y

Sl00 Reward, S!OO.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
Is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing it's work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One

The Light Plant In Good Shape.

The municipal electric light plant
in Scotland Neck has been in opera
ton about seven years, and during
that time the town has not been
without light two hours because Of
trouble at the plant.
The revenue from the use of the
lightsNis sufficient to pay the operat-
ing expenses and leave a dividend
after retiring its bonds and paying
interest. A financial statement Of
the condition of the plant, published
last week, shows a balance to its
credit of a little over 81, 100, after
paying all expenses.
This seems to US a spending show
ing, and every year the dividend
grows larger.

Death OF Mr.. George N. PittaFd.

Aurelian Springs, June 19.-Mr
George N. Pittard, a we'll known
citizen, died at his home near Airlie
Wednesday morning, June the 7th
at the age of 76 years months and
% days. He had a stroke of paraly.
sis early Tuesday morning from
which he never rallied. His last
word was calling his daughter who
fastened to his bed side. DR.. Willis
Aston was called and was very soon
with him but he had passed all med
ical skill and no one could do him
any good. God in his wisdom saw
fit to call him from this world of
troubles. He had been in feeble
health for several years and could
not get about without crutches or
cane. He bore his Affections with
patience but often expressed a de-
sire to be able to work, as he had
done in the past. He was a good
farmer, kind neighbor, was ever
ready to help thosei in need or dis
tress. Mr.. Pittard was not the man
to bemoan his losses, but with a su-
perb courage and cheerful dispo-
sition worked with a will. He never
connected himself with any church
but believed in the Supreme being
and often said he believed when God
called him he would go to rest. We
hope he has now entered into that
rest prepared for the people of God.
He is survived by one brother. his
wife, four sons, four daughters,
thirty grand children and three
great grand children. In his last
days it seemed to be a pleasure to
him to have some of the little ones
with him all the time, they seemed
to comfort him. 1t was his desire to
be buried in the grave at his home.
He was laid to rest there Thursday
afternoon in the presence Of num-
Der of friends and relatives the bu-
rial service was conducted by Rev.
Will Nicholson.
To the loved ones we would say
grieve not but look unto God and
say thy will be done. We know it is
hard to give him up but our heaven
ly Father doeth all things for the
best for them that fear him.
One precious to our hearts has gone
The voice we loved is stilled
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.

The Editors Father Dead.

The editor of The Commonwealth
received telephone message Mon
day morning that his father, Mr.. R.
H. Hardy, who lived near Brinkley-
vile, died about six o'clock. He
left on the morning train to be pres
ent at the burial, which took place
Tuesday afternoon, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. L. W. Ger
ringer. Mr.. Hardy was a member
of the Methodist Protestant church
at Bethesda.
Mr.. Hardy served his country in the
Civil War during the whole struggle
of four years. He was engaged in
a number of fierce battles, and was
always ready to perform any duty
assigned him. He was twice mar
ried, his second wife surviving him
with six little children. By his first
marriage there are four children
living.
Mr.. Hardy was sick for about two
months. and during that time he re-
ceived the very best of medical at
tention as we'll as the loving minis
trations of his family and older
children, who visited him frequently
during his illness.
The friends of the editor will be
panied to learn of his affliction and
sympathize with him in this dark
hour of his bereavement.

Lynch. They were quarreling about
some cows getting out, when Gid
drew out his knife and cut his uncle's
throat, which almost proved fatal.
Gid was arrested and preliminary
hearing was held before Esquire w.
H. Hayes. In default Of a $1,000
bond he was committed to Jail.
When in about two miles Of En-
field he escaped from Deputy Sheriff
Knight, but the deputy hurried to
Whitakers and got MIR. Lonnie Dick
ems and his blood hounds. They
tracked him to Ed Wards Git being
so dry the dogs could not). Ward
acknowledged his whereabouts and
granted them the privilege of search
ing all Of his houses. Gid was cap
tured up chimney and safely land
ed in jail. John Lynch is living, but
there is very little hope of his re-
cOvery.
