Purely Personal
Messrs. R.F. Wilkins and J.P. Wilkins, natives of North
Carolina and Virginia, are here on a visit to their cousin and brother-in-law
Mr. John L. Bryant, and paid us a very pleasant call today. They reside in
Fresno County, California, and in the fertile San Jaquin valley noted for its
fruits and raisins. This county made 260,000 tons of raisins last year, besides
the fruits and vegetables grown. Much of this is sent east.
Mr. and Mrs. J.G. Spencer are the guest of Mrs. Spencer’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Collins of Park Avenue. Mr. Spencer has just
returned from overseas.
Misses Lillie Boyette and Margaret Wood left on an early
train this morning for Asheville, where they will attend the State Trained
Nurses Association, which convention is in that city this week.
Miss Lottine Farmer returned today from Fayetteville.
Mrs. Owen Fillyau and Master Owen Jr., and little sister
Louise, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Culpepper, left today for
their home in Wilmington.
Mr. and Mrs. George Stanton and daughter, Miss Lucile, and
Miss Beatrice Parker left today for Salt Lake City and a trip through
Yellowstone Park.
Miss Mildred Stark and Miss Nannie Raper have returned from
Rocky Mount where they have been on a visit to friends.
Master Logan Lovelace and Chas. Ballou have returned from a
camping and fishing frolic at Farmers mill. These boys are trying to make
themselves efficient as Boy Scouts and to be unafraid and to handle situations
alone. The boys say they were certainly glad they had some company for there
were some boys from the country who had some nets set and they visited them all
through the night. The boys were on the watch for any signs of troubles or
intruders and therefore none came. They did not sleep much until they returned
home, but when they did strike the bed it was a continuous performance.
Mr. B.F. Rogers, who has been on the front in France is here
visiting his mother, Mrs. K.M. Rogers, and his sisters, Mrs. J.E. Edwards and
Miss Murrill Rogers.
Mrs. H.W. Hood and granddaughter Miss Nancy Hood of
Southport, and Miss Catherine Barnes of Orlando, Florida, are visiting their
relative, Miss Kate Barnes.
Lightning struck a tree yesterday in front of the home of
Mrs. Bettie Skinner. Some of those in the house were slightly stunned but none
hurt.
Mr. A.A. Ruffin has the first tomatoes of the season. This
is probably the earliest in this section for many a year.
Our dispatches state that the troops of the 81st
have landed, and since a number of Wilson boys are aboard these transports,
they will most likely be home in a few days. Mrs. W.L. Wootten wired friends
today that she met Mr. Wootten.
Lt. Ben Smith received a cablegram from his brother, Mr.
S.W. Smith, saying he expects to sail today from Europe where he has been on
business and pleasure.
Mr. Charles Hassell who is connected with the Income Tax
Department is in the city on a visit to his brother, Mr. Frank Hassell.
