There seems to be some mys
tery attached to the disappear
of one J. A Walston, who
has been living in Long Acre
township, this county. He mys-
disappeared on July
and since that time no tidings of
him can be ascertained by his
relatives or friends. Mr.
is an ex-Confederate
and is about years of age.
His son, Mr. John W. Walston,
of Pitt county, and others, have
been looking for him and en-
to secure information
leading to his location since his
disappearance; so far they have
been unsuccessful. Mr. Walston
was born and reared in Pitt
county. He has a daughter re-
siding in Falkland, N. C. Two
other children are living in Pitt
county. His son has searched
everywhere for his father, but
without success.
Walston was frequently seen
on the streets of the city and
was conspicuous for always
a bag thrown across his
shoulders. Frequently in the
winter time he could be seen
barefooted. His disappearance
cannot be accounted for. Wash-

Breaking a Will.
A wealthy woman named Silva
died at Lisbon and left her entire
property to a rooster. She was a
fervid spiritualist, a believer in the
transmigration of souls
that the soul of her dead
band had entered the rooster. She
caused a special fowl to be
built and ordered her servants to
pay extra attention to their mas-
wants. The disgust of her
relatives over the will caused the
story to become public, and a law-
might have followed had not
one of the heirs adopted the simple
expedient of having the wealthy
rooster killed, thus becoming him-
self next of kin.

FOR BETTER
Will b a Geed Red Meeting
Prof. Joseph Hyde Pratt, state T-
geologist and secretary of the
North Carolina Rood road-
has called a meeting of
the association to be here
January in th rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce.
This meeting is called for all
those interested in improved
roads for North Carolina to dis-
cuss what can be done to assist
the various counties throughout
the Stale in putting forth still
greater efforts for the
of good roads within their
rs. The meeting will also
discuss State aid to counties in
the construction of good roads.
In his call Prof. Pratt says
there are various ways in which
the State may aid counties in
constructing better roads, among
them
By appropriation to the
ties for actual construction of
the roads.
By to the counties en-
assistance in the idea-
and construction of public
roads and in building bridges.
By using i he state convicts in
I good road ion.
Of than suggestions. Prof.
i Pratt thinks the engineering as-
to the counties to be the
I best. He also recommends the
u-e of State convicts.
All these suggestions will be
discussed at the meeting and
such action will be taken as is
thought will do the most good.
The chairman of the boards of
county commissioners will be
j asked to appoint two delegates
, to this meeting, and the
j of commerce and boar
will also be asked to

Are You
Honest
With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its
analysis. It requires no
knowledge to mix mate-
rials to analyses. The value
of a fertilizer lies in the ma-
used, so as not to
over feed the plant at one
time and starve at another.
This is why Royster brands
are so popular. Every in-

Yesterday afternoon the first

trains pissed over the bridge,
and it required
minutes in direction. The
train which arrived here last
night was the first to cross the
bridge. The first freight train
of thirty-five cars crossed from j
bank to bank in fifty-three
minutes. To transfer the three
trains across on the steamer
would required
about twelve hours. During the
period required by the steamer
in the transfer of the
three trains, one thousand and
eighty cars c have crossed
the bridge, in each
The handling capacity of
the road is increased one thou-
sand per cent day, at no
time over one train on

between the two for pas-
set vice will be cut by an
hour and a i and freight
service will be improved more
than seven hours, in many in
stances this amounting to a full
day's earlier delivery.

week the regular schedules will
