' DEATH OF LITTLE CHARLES PHILLIPS Charles G-, the only child of Mr. , and Mrs. Albert Phillips, died at their | home on Hughes street, Monday «t one o'clock, after a week's illness of great | pain and suffering. He was seven years of age, a manly little fellow, bright and quick in his - studies at school, and very much loved by his playmates, for with his loving , disposition he endeared himself to all who came in contact with him. His ' death was a great shock to his parr ents, he was the treasure of the home and all their hope and pride were centered in him and all Jthe community , feels the greatest sympathy for them in their great loss. The funeral occurred Wednesday from their residence.

They made the trip from New York making stops at Lakewood and Atlantic Oity on the way. They were guests at theJVirginia. F. B. Taggart, of Philadelphia, was in town during the week. Mr and Mrs. D.

In these days of the uncovering of graft, when everybody is asking, "What can be done?" comes from the ' fastnesses of Pennsylvania a stirring ' story, which we quote from "One Man ' and His Town," in th# January Mc-1 Clure's. Roseto was a collection of b Italian shacks, and "Bangor said that J Roseto ought to be Wiped off the face of the map — for Bangor was coming to a sense of the seriousness of the situa- 1 tion. Rfty or sixty Italians scattered i : within her limits had been bad enough ; j i two or three hundred, segregated in a ' j ramshackle village a mile away, ready | : to break out at any time Jwith an epi- ' demic of typhoid or the long knife, 1 were a menace to the health and the peace of the community. Those were i the days when Bangor mothers used to ] warn unruly children by saying. "If I you don't mind, the Eyetalians'U get i you and carry you off." The Presbyterian church sent out a missionary, who didn't last, and even the Catholic church finally fell into the j sheriff's hands. In this happy state , came Father de Nisco, an Italian ] priest, a disciple of Abraham Lincoln, i .With his own hands the priest tidied ; up the rubbisn heaps, and his people j followed suit, "Eyetalilar Town" has now become the flourishing town of Roeeto. Father de Nicso is at once • Captain of Industry and Labor Leader, i Excise Commissioner, Board of Health, t and Chief of Police. He has two classes a year in "American Citizenship. " The account of his work is well worth . perusal. ,

b THE NEW YEARS ; DISPLAY THE MUMMERS MIKE SUCCESS i — ' Big Parade and Man; Unique s features Amuse tie e Spectators y The New Year's Muo.mer'B Parade n was a great Buccess, could have been a greater one, if other organizations ard r individuals had become sufficiently 1 awake to their opportunities. The streets were crowded all the afternoon as a consequence of the attraction kfid looked quite inspiriting. Ogalialla Tribd Red Men. was 1 prominently rep- ! resented, both in a large number of ' horsemen attired in their picturesque costumes'" and also, by breves on foot - displaying the beautiful banner recent- ' ly acquired. The Oape May Athletic Club, under whose auspices the parade was a. ranged, was represented in flotts, in horsemen and in various other ieat- ; urea, all of them amusing. The President of the club, Frank /Wrisjey. ac- ' companied Mayor Melvin and ex-Mayor Millet in a baaouche -and all these gentlemen saluted the crowds pleasantly as they passed along. The Mosquito • Crab of boys in laughable rigs was an • interesting feature and the various " wagons representing the commercial 1 interests were typicalT The fire de1 partmcnt's display must have been ' pleasing to all of our citizens, for the array ofjmachines showed that we have b very good provision for fire fighting. They were handsomely decorated and j the horses are fine specimens of that B animal. The whole affair was immensely creditable to the city and to those who plannedrit. The Oape May ( Band supplied the music. It shows what can be done when a few people get together. What could we not do. if everybody united in any ' project that might be proposed? Lets try somethinng for Easter, say, all ^ together. ; INTERESTING NEWS NOTES ' OCCURRENCES BERE AND TBERE I Incidents Which Bate Attracted , the Attention of the Star and Wave 1 Children of the public schools at ! SWdesboro are having the time of ' their lives.' All day they can sit in school and chew gum or eat candy, and . when their supply runs out they can go . to their teachers and buy more, for I every teacher now runs s confectionery store and sells the children all the candy they wiah to buy. [ The profit from these sales is to be used tq purchase a piano for the new . $38,000 school house, now in course of erection. Of course, the rule forbidi ding children eating in schools hours . j has not been revoked, but under the ■ (present circumstances it is but natural ^ I that the teachers cannot aways see : when it is being broken, i ft ft ft | "Responding to a request," RepI j resentativ-i J.
