WILD MULE
CAPTURED

The wild mule which has been
at large through Northampton
County for several weeks was
finally captured last week by
Percy Garner, colored, who lives
near Mr.. Fitzhugh's store. Percy
stated he ran him down after a
hard chase on last Sunday. Sum-
day must have been a good day
for mule hunting, for the quarry
had evaded and outdistanced
many enthusiastic hunters pre-
vious to his capture.
His owner is unknown and the
mule does not show any evidence
of ever having been subjected to
a halter of any kind. In fact.
Percy said he was lust one ball
of fire." " He will be advertised
by his captor and no claimant
coming forward. Percy intends
to break and use him in his
farming operations,

The Constitution HOUSE
After Years Of Abandonment On
Of the Most Noted Historical
Buildings in all North Caro-
lima Has Been Purchased
and is Now To Be
Removed and
Restored

1t IS the Constitution House
at Halifax. When you see the
flag of the State with its single
star and Inscription April 18th,
l776 do you realize the reason
why this star and this inscription
are there. The date is that on
which North Carolina citizens,
through their Congress, not their
legislature, at Halifax declared
this Commonwealth to be no
longer the colony Of Great Britain
but a Republic, the first estab-
lished on this Continent. When
the Congress in July of that year
met at Philadelphia the first
State called was North Carolina
which as above shown was the
first to thus declare its indepen-
denoe and which thus won the
primaey a proud honor for the
three agners Of the Declaration
of Independence July 4, 1776
were from the State of North
Carolina.
The Constitution, a small three
room building lone room having
Aeen literally carried off for
building purposes and for fueD
was purchased a year ago from a
colsred man its owGer, and stands
ON the edge of a small farm.
Itis to be removed this year
to a site on the Highway, part of
which is known as the CORVALLIS
Road, about four hundred yards
east of the river of the once
stately mansion which was 1.-The
Grove" che home of the great
patriot Wiley Jones.
1t is the plan of the Elizabeth
Montford Ashe Chapter to make
the Restoration of the Constitu-
ton House, in lis new and most
fitting location complete and to
furnish it in the mode of 1776,
to make it a Chapter House and
also a Rest House for those who
pass on the Highway and for the
pilgrims who are seeking insqr-
alton from such a birth G'
American liberty. N
Do you not as a patriots
North Carolinian wish to have q
share in the permanent presel'-
vation of this shrine of liberty.
The contract has been let for
the removal of this quaint old
building to its permanent site and
as a few foundation timbers are
needed to replace those which
have decayed and as the Chin
neys have to be rebuilt. out of
the original material funds are
necessary to push the work.
Had not the steps already taken
been successful as to the pur-
chase and removal, this building
would have been torned down in
the next few months and its site
given over to the plow and allits
history made but a legend.
This is then an appeal to
North Carolinians with real pride
n their State and patriotism IN
heir hearts to give of their
means whether great or small to
meet the expense of the removal
md preservation of the Con-
titution House.
To help in this enterprise the
elizabeth Montford Ashe Chap
er will hold a Parcel Post Sale
n Halifax on Tuesday, Novem-
YER 9th, from three O'Clock in
he afternoon until 8 p. m. |.
Packages will be sold also re-.
'reshments, during the evening.
