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- News. King's Cross Roads, Jan. J. C.

He came of a sturdy, honest, industrious, noble ancestry, and he inherited their sterling qualities. He was reared upon the farm and grew to manhood with the well oped body and independence which cornea to men possessed of such advantages. In his child- hood he attended the country schools, and there learned the advantages and disadvantages which confront the country boy in bis quest of an education. Later he attended the Greenville academy, then under the man- of that devoted tor and friend of young men. Prof. W. H.

After leaving Wake Forest, he taught school for a year and then read law with Latham Skinner at Greenville, and at the University Law school He was admitted to the bar in 1892, and locating in Greenville, he soon entered upon a lucrative practice which steadily increased; and at the time of his death, he was in the full enjoyment of a large practice in the Superior.

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.

S Announcement by the Norfolk Southern Railway of the opening cf the 28.000 foot bridge across the Albemarle Sound on yesterday is probably the most important announcement affect- Raleigh and Eastern North Carolina that been made since the railroad was built. Yesterday afternoon the first and south bound passenger 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 the bridge. The time required 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. Regular service over the great which attracted the at of engineers of the world for the past year, and which called for the investigations of the U u led States government engineers for a period before the of the bridge across the sound was began on yesterday, and for this week the regular schedules will be in effect. On Monday of week, however, the new schedule taking advantage of the time saving bridge, will be effective, and Raleigh and Eastern North Carolina will have the relationship that ever existed between city and that section.
