MARRIAGE KEPT SECRET
UNTIL THE BABY CAME
This Couple Obliged to Give UP Pre-.
tending to Be What They Were
Not.

There's 10 use pretending 20 he
what you amt, especially if its >yoar
marriage you're trying TO keep s2:ret.
If you are married person, the
truth is bound TO get out on you some
time. a. was the case of Mr.. ald Mrs.
ID. Russell Nixon. who startei house
keeping here this week after having
been married since May 2S. 1922.
Miss Dora Lee Jordan of Ransom
vile. Beaufort County was teaching
school at Stumpy Point in 1921 when
she met Russell Nixon, one of the
Villagers. The two fell in love, and
when school was over, Mr.. Nixon
made frequent trips away from home.
Stumpy Point folks thought it odd
that Young Nixon should be going
away from home so often; and finally
in the summer he took a job with Il
wholesale store in GoldsbOrO. Mr..
Nixon travelled out of Goldsboro and
used TO meet his sweetheart frequent
ly. And all the time, neither his
parents nor the wifc's parents knew
that tie couple had 'Lla""icd i'll ka-
leigh in May.
Mrs. Nixon taught school under her
maiden name near her home until
Christmas, and then dropped her
school and went to Raleigh to live.
In the meantime. her husband had
come to Elizabeth City to travel for
the wholesale house of {. W. Stevens
Il Co. On March 26. BABY was
bora to Mrs. Nixon. ut Raleigh, no.
body else knew of the marriage until
then.
Young Nixon and his bride were un
settled at tbc time of the marriage.
and didn't feel like nesting down and
assuming the responsibilities Of mar
ricd life. But what they didn't seem
to think of was that during the time
they have been married. the time and
expense of trips Nixon made TO see
his wife WAS greater even than the
expenses of housekeeping.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nixon anl Nixon,
Jr.. are now living on Burgess street
this city. The parents of the cou'lc
haven't got over their shock from
hearing the news this week.

NEGRO LABOR
GOING NORTH
Eliz2beth City Begins TO Face
a Serious Shortage Of
Ordinary Labor

The recent exodus of negro
labor for the north that has
swept the south IS being felt
in Elizabeth City and it is now
becoming a difficult matter
for local mills to pick up float
ing help for peak jobs; and
with the recent increase in
freight traffic has come a
scarcity of labor on wharves
and depots that makes it more
and more difficult to handle
freight with the usual speed.
At one of the biggest sawmills in
the city, IL member of the firm stated
that his inability To PICK up the usual
floating labor when needed WIS max
ing labor cost the plant decidedly
us,,ul. This too, at time
when the SAW mill business is grow
ing in Elizabeth City. and at sea-
son of the year when the business is
naturally on the increase.
7. W. VI. Butler, one of the lead
Ing men OF his race. who keeps in
touch with the comingS and goings
of those of his color. says the depart
urc of many negroes for the north is
being felt kccnly in the negro church.
cs. as well rs on the wharvcS Of the
city. +. W. VI. Butler handles
freight on the wharvcS here every
day. and says it is becoming difficult
to pick up help when it is needed. lie
recently made trip to New York
City. and says that the trains north
looked like negro excursion trains.
Hundreds of negro men got off ut
New York he says. but the most of
them stopped at Philadelphia, Il city
that holds IL greater charm for the
southern negro than any other city
in the east. In the big hotels of
Philadelphia and It's nearby resorts,
there are jobs Il plenty awaiting the
southern negro. and there the black
man finds his seventh heaven.
The going of the negro from Eliz-
abcth City will probably be felt more
kccn!y when the tracking season
starts. and especially during the
potato season. At this time Of the
year. hundreds of negro men are USu-
ally hanging around. ready for a few
hours work day, loading freight
cars. or handling potatoes around the
warehouses. This summer labor is
going to cost more than usual. be-
cause it will be hard job to get Il
negro away from Il steady job, just to
work few hours day, or few
days Il week.
The going Of the negro from the
south has excited considerable cdi-,
tOrial comment in the press of the
nation. 1t sounds Il warning to the
southern farmer for one thing. that
the negro is waking UP and looking
about for himself. The cheap labor
of oldcn days is thing of the past.
,rhe farmer will have TO buy farm
machinery or pay more money for the
higher priced help. And the farmer
is going to have TO get more for his
produce to dcfray the increase cost
of farming.

DISSATISFIED,
WIFE LEAVES
Didn't Know What Happiness
Was, And Left a Good
Husband

After 21 years of married
life, Mrs. Matte Mann Mid
gett, 40-ycar-old wife of A. NJ.
Midget, travelling salesman,
of Fearing Street this city, has
left her home, taking with her
their II ycar-old daughter, and
the 5000 automobile her hus-
band had given her to enjoy
herself with while he was
away from home.
Mrs. Midget left home Saturday,
April 22. taking her daughter, her
19-ycar- son. and her automobile
to Norfolk. She stayed in Norfolk
IL day or two. and sold her car for
81 Geo. The husband went down to
Norfolk to plead with his wife to re-
turn and make a home for her chill
dren. but she refused and when he
urged her. she shut the door in his
face and told him to go home.
The last heard of Mrs. Midget,
she had gone to New York City with
her young daughter. Her son has
returned to Elizabeth City. And if
her husband knows her whereabouts,
he hasn't told his relatives.
The story of Mrs. Midgett's home
life is simple. She had husband
who was good provider, and who
lavished good income on his fam
ily. Mr.. Midget is man whom his
acquaintanccs call model husband
and father.
Mrs. Midget had little work at
home to do. Her husband was away
from home most of the time. and she
had lots of tipc on her hands. She
had a fine automobile to drive about
in. and liberal husband to pay nll
the bills.
After awhile the nrighbOrs began
to notice Mrs. Midget keeping COM
pany with one Columbus Baum, an
automobile mechaN; who came to-
this city from G".:@iy. Currituck
County. Baum had wife living, but
whom he would not support. Ills
Reputation was unsavory and the
neighbors began to talk.
Mrs. Midget had too much time
on her hands and nothing to do with
il in Elizabeth City. She grew irri-
table and ncglcctful of her husband
and his comfort. and with the gossip
bothcring her she decided to leave
home. '.
Baum who wouldn't work regular
has left town too. He is about So
wears old. The last that was heard
of him. he had gone to California,
having drawn all his money, amount
ing 10 about $1,000 out of local
bank.
