Mrs. A. W. 0utteFbFidge Dead.

News was received here Tuesday
morning Of the death of Mrs. A. w.
Outterbridge, which occurred at her
home in Whitakers at O'Clock.
Mrs. Outterbridge was about Is
years Of age, and had been married
just four years. Besides her grief
stricken husband, she leaves three
small children, one an infant just
ten days old, and number Of rela-
tives and friends.
The remains were brought to Scot
land Neck, reaching here this WED
nesday) morning, and the interment
took place in the Baptist cemetery
this afternoon, Rev. 0. L. Powers
conducting the service.
The friends Of Mr.. Outterbridge
here and elsewhere deeply sympa-
thice with him in this great attic
ton, but no words Of sympathy
however sincere and however true
the friend who offers them, can heal
the crushed and bleeding heart OF
the sorely bereaved and desolate hus-
band, and only supreme faith in an
all-wise providence will bring solace
in this dark hour of his bereavement
May he look beyond the grave and
and there see the hand of this GOOD
wife and mother reckoning him and
her little ones come over and join
her on the other side.

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.
the Baptist Philathea Class Entertained
by The Teacher.

eve do things, the motto Of the
Scotland Neck Baptist Philathes
Glass, was in full evidence to even
the most casual observer on Friday
evening, June 9, 1911, from eight
until eleven, when the teacher, Mrs.
A. G.. Livermon, entertained the
class at her home. From early until
late the lawn rang with shouts of
laughter and merry voices, as al! the
old fashioned games were INDUCED
in, until the oldest grew young and
the youngest grew younger.
The most popular resort Of the
evening was the place where punch
was served, where, after once having
drunk of the contents of the SEEM
ingly bottomless punch bowl, all
with one accord were inclined to
linger. During the evening deli
cious ice cream was served, made all
the more enjoyable from the fact
that the conventionality of plates,
forks and napkins gave place to the
ice cream cone Of eye olde beach
style"
If this social feature bespeaks in
any way the spirit with which this
class can enter into a thing, little
wonder is it that they ''do things"
and well may even greater things be
expected from them. Perhaps in no
other way can a class be enthused
and inspired to great things better
than in meeting Of this kind, where
each one meets and learns every one
else and where all are thus brought
into close union and fellowship for
the nobler work that is theirs to do.

joyed social functions Of the season

the superstition towards the NUM-
Der thirteen, the dance was held on
the thirteenth of the month and was
the thirteenth dance given by the
Club since it's organization. And
now this number should be entered
in the clubs journal as one OF its
lucky ones, as the occasion, with all
Of its connections, will remain TO:
some time to come vivid in the mem
DRY Of the participants as most
pleasant affair. AS an evidence tina,
the opportunity was being fully ap-
preciated the crowd insisted that the
dance continue an hour beyond the
usual time. and even then, it was
with great reluctance they danced
the Home Sweet Home. Several
attractive figures, in which the va
rious colors Of the beautiful cos
tunes worn by the ladies made a
pretty scene, we're led during the
evening.
Those present were: E. H. Leggett

Go After The Snakes.

There is an old saying that if you
kill a snake in dry weather and hang
it up, it will bring rain very soon
A snakeologist called on The Ref1ec-
tor and urged that we say something
along this line, so that the snake
hunters can get busy and bring some
rain, He also gave the following list
of snakes with the kind of weather
each will bring if killed and hung up
according to the regulation:
Rattlesnake, cyclone.
Moccasin or poplar leaf, thunder
storm and hail.
Black runner, rain.
Any other kind, uncertain
showers.
According to the above we would
urge the hunters to be careful on the
rattlesnake line, as cyclone is not
wanted.-Greenville Reflector

the downtown streets. It was ex- plained at this meeting how Alder man Rudolph Wolff received the deaf ear of the city council at the last meeting when he proposed that the city employ White Wings and main tain them for cleaning the streets. He offered the resolution for the Ciy Beautiful Club, but the city fathers simply refused to listen to it. In view of this fact the ladies will learn the city a lesson by employing two White Wings" for one week and will pay for them out of the c. B. c, fund. If the. treasury was fat en)ugh the ladies declare that they would be willing to maintain cleaners al all times.
 The movement inaugurated to em- ploy the 'sWhite Wings has met with general approval as was evidenced yesterday afternoon when the foIl1w- ing firms donated the white uniforms to be worn by the cleaners Kastor X Bluthenthal, J. B. Simon, Henry Marx, The Froug, The Hub, Isaac Dreyfus and the Pine Bluff Mercan- tile CD. Messrs Fox Brothers and leveland4Matthews willingly gave shovels. The ladies hope to have the White Wings" at work Monday and expect such good results after q weeks trial that the city council will keep up the work instituted by the Ia dies and we will have truly beau tiful city with clean streets of which
 all will feel proud.

 Committee on Railroads and Grounds
 In the absence of chairman, r B. Tomlinson, Mrs. w. N. Trufock re- ported that MT. Tomlinson had writ ten Mir Atw5od and asked him if ne could prevail on the railroad officials to put several Dads of fertilizer on the vacant block back of the Union Station and have the ground put in condition to plant flowers, vines. etc. on it. Mir. Atwd)d replied that he would write to the officials and see what could be done, but that it is too late in the season t) consider plant ing anything until fall, so this mat ter will have to rest until then,
 It was stated by members that the city wagons, which have been engaged in cleaning out the trash from alleys placed there by residents during clean up week, had never been below Ohio street in east Pine Bluff. Mayor Jordan was consulted and he stated that the wagons would haul away the trash deposited during clean up week. but that all that had been placed in the alleys since that time would have to be hauled away by the property owners.
 One of the principal business to- pics of the meeting was the discus sion on establishing system oi fWhite Wings" here for cleaning ur
