LADIES-Let me teach you how to weave hair into lovely braids or pompadours. The art is fascinating and easy, a child could do it. Now Is the time to learn while so much false hair is worn. Few of us can afford real hair, but great many persons have hair laid away that was either cut off or lost from fever and they do not know how to use it. By simple method I can show you how to handle it and how to save the hair that falls from the head each day. Besides doing thls work for yourself you can work for others and make good money. Every day I have a braid hang ing in the little loom, and when 1t is finished, perhaps In a day, I get 75 cents or s1 for making 1t. For 50 cents l will sent you printed instructions that will tell you how the work is done and how to make the loom to work with. The loom costs nothing to make.

DR.. P. w. Covington, Sanitary
Director of the North Carolina
Board Of Health, was in Scotland
Neck Saturday, making preparatory
steps towards fighting the hook
worm disease in the county.
DR.. Covington tells us that it is the
plan Of the Hookworm Commission
of the North Carolina Board of
Health to establish dispensaries
throughout the county for the treat
ment Of the disease.
This work will be conducted by an
expert in this line and he will be as
assisted by a competent microsco-
list furnished by the North Carolina
Board Of Health.
This method Of treatment has
been carried out with a great deal of
success in Georgia, Alabama and
louisiana. From 100 to 800 pa
tents being treated each day in the
dispensaries.
The County Commissioners, at
their meeting Monday apportioned
an amount not to exceed $4,000 per
week for four weeks to assist in
this fight against the hookworm.
DR.. Covington tells US that he will
issue, next week full information,
plans and treatment Of the disease,
through the newspapers Of the coun-
ty and by posters, large cards, circu-
lar letters etc. He urges the people
to be on the lookout and as far as
possible avail themselves of this
treatment.

ANOTHER LINK IN TIE SILVER GRAIN.
Mrs. R. c. JOSey and Mrs. ]. P. VIM
berley Entertain.

Another link was added to the sill
yer chain of parties which has been
being given in Scotland Neck for the
past several weeks for the benefit of
the graded school fund, link that
was stall silver and guaranteed to
wear a life time"-in the memory
of all who were present on Thursday
night, June 20, 1911 Then it was
that Mrs. R. C. Josey and Mrs. J. P.
Kimberley entertained from $3.50
until 11:30 at a delightful lawn party.
No more suitable place could have
been chosen than the lawn with its
tall trees, its green carpet and its
inviting swings. An electric light
in the center lighted lip the most re-
mote corner Of the lawn, which with
the merry sounds Of laughter and
conversation that greeted all passers-
by. showed that fun and pleasure
held sway during the evening and
thaL every one was tnelr Wiling
subject.
Progressive croconole was the
game Of the evening. All were kept
so busy having good time, that
time passed unnoticed.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed between games and then again
Everybody was happy, as happy
as an elaborate salad course and
dainty ices and cakes could make
them.
All of the fifty invited guests left
only when the hands Of the clock
pointed unrelentingly to an hour
that said they must, each glad that
they had been so fortunate as to help
make this silver link.

Death On Roanoke River.

On Monday morning, June 26,
1911, the whole community was
shocked and grieved to learn that
while brooding over disappointment
in love, and becoming temporarily
insane, our beloved young friend,
Mr.. Earold Barnhill had drank laud-
anum and was found in his room in
dying condition. All that loving
friends and a skilled physician
could do was to no avail. His
time had come and Gods summons
must be obeyed. At ten o'clock his
spirit took its flight to join Christ
and the angels around the great
white throne, in the mansion that he
has prepared for his children.
He was born February 9, 1891,
and died June 26, 1911, and twenty
years, four months and seventeen
days. He was born and reared in
Pitt county up until few years ago
when he came to Dawsons to live.
The following year he united with
Dawsons Baptist church and became
consecrated Christian worker. He
was ever faithful to his church
duties and lived in the fear of God.
He was regular attendant of pray
err service and Sunday school.
Though very youthful he would at
times get up and testify for his God
at our prayer service. He was a
devoted son, a loving and affection
ate brother, and always carried a
sunny smile and CHEEKY word for all.
His presence always brought with it
sunshine and cheerfulness.
About a year and a half ago he
accepted position with Mr.. Frank
P. Shields as manager of a large
farm on Roanoke river, which posi-
ton he held up until his death few
days ago. While there he won the
high esteem Of many and acquired
host Of friends. His business like
manner and punctuality was re-
markable for one so youthful.
He leaves behind mother and
father five sisters and three brothers
to mourn their loss, and host of
Borrowing friends ard relatives.
Dear loved ones, though the sun
shine and joy of his presence can no
more cast it rays upon us here. Let
us live in the anticipation Of the
happy time when we shall again be
reunited at the Fathers throne.
where there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain, fer
the former things are passed away
Though he committed a grave error
in taking his own life, we feel the
blessed hope that he had been born
into the righteous kingdom and was
a child of the living God, and surely
God is able to keep the soul COM
mitted to his care.
How sweet to think, to feel, to
know,
When racked our souls with care
and strife,
That he is safe from every woe,
Which fills our cup of mortal life,
That never more shall pain distress
Nor fever burn upon his brow.
A Cousin.

MIR. and Mrs. Edwards Entertain.

On. Tuesday evening, June 9th,
from four until seven thirty Of the
clock, Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. T. Edwards,
at their nice little country residence
near Scotland Neck, delightfully."- en-
tertained the little people Of the
community in honor of their niece,
Miss Sadie Pope, one Of Spring Hills
charming little ladies.
Every feature of the occasion
went to prove that it was one of the
most enjoyable affairs of the kind
during the season.
The lawn was a perfect scene of
loneliness. Dainty little rustic seats
were nicely fixed here and there
under the lovely shade trees for the
little ones to occupy and play numer-
Gus little games, which they all
seemed to enjoy highly. There
were several grown ladies and ger
tlemen present to suggest the diff
ferent plays and help them in having
nice time.
Promptly at the hour of six the
signal was given and all assembled
around the beautiful white table,
which had been tastefully arranged
under large oak on the lawn, where
they were served with delicious pine
apple and lemon cream, together
with many different kinds of cake.
| After they had all partaken most
bountifully, the little ones again re-
tired to the opposite side Of the lawn
and continued their games, while
the older ones, some Of whom, as
sembled in the sitting room where
many lovely duets were rendered
and others sit out on the lawn in
buggies and enjoyed nice little So
cial chats.
Just as the glowing sun was hiding
itself in the distant west, they all
again met on the lawn, congratulate
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards on their
kind hospitality and declaring that
they had never before spent a more
delightful time, and they would be
glad to hear of another such an oc-
casion soon. x.

Max RiddiCk Lost.

The immediate family and several
friends we're thrown into some ex-
element Saturday night about
O'Clock over the non-arrival at home
Of Max Riddick. The young man
engaged to work for MIR. J. w.
Allsbrook Saturday and this he did
well and faithfully Just before
closing hours that night Max became
tired and went towards the rear of
the store where he found comfort
able place to sit down and doing so
he soon fell to sleep. The store was
closed and all went home losing
sight of Max.
When Mrs. Riddick called the roll,
or rather when it was discovered
that Max was not at home it caused
some alarm and Mrs. Riddick with
other members Of the family set
about to see what had become of
Max. After giving the alarm in a
quiet way and calling several
families over the phone, some one
suggested that the boy had been left
| in the store They at once went to
the home of Mr.. Claude Allsbrook
and had him go to the store and
there, sound asleep. the lost boy was
found and restored to his family,
and what seemed to be a serious
matter at the beginning turned out
to be laughable at the end. The
joke is on Max and his friends are
teasing him not little about getting
lost.
Max says he is very glad they
found him for he would have been
almost scared to death to have
found himself in the store at such a
late hour in the night. He will also
be more careful where he goes to
sleep the next time.
