THE CHOWAN HERALD A HOME NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF CHOWAN COUNTY Power Company Securing Signers For Right Os Way Upper Chowan residents have been greatly encouraged relative to an early opportunity to enjoy ru ral electrification. Cause for this encouragement resulted Monday when a representative of the Vir ginia Electric & Power Company appeared in the community secur ing signers for a right of way. 3t was learned that a right of way had been secured through Gates County which heretofore ap parently was the hold-up in the power company extending its ser vice through Chowan.

BOND Oldest White Edenton Resident Died Wednesday Night In Hospital At Hampton, Va. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon for Major John C. Bond, 86, who died in Dixie Hospital, Hampton, Va., about midnight last Wednesday, shortly after The Herald was delivered to the postoffice. Mr. Bond had been a patient in the hos pital about three weeks. Services were conducted at the home on Granville Street with Rev. E. L. Wells officiating and Rev. C. Aylett Ashby assisting. The esteem in which the deceased was held was shown by the large number of beau tiful floral designs. The body was conveyed from the house to the street between two rows of flower bearers, 14 young ladies acting in this capacity. Interment was made in Beaver Hill Cemetery. Mr. Bond was the oldest native white resident in Edenton, having been born March 26, 1851, in an old homestead near the waterfront, the son of Henry A. Bond and Margaret Manning Bond. Despite his years, Mr. Bond had an exceptionally keen memory and on numerous occasions was consulted for authentic references on happen ings beyond the time of those seek ing the information, all of which he was always ready and glad to give. Major Bond had always taken an active part in the civic life of the town. He was among those who as sisted in the organization of the Bank of Edenton and the Edenton Peanut Company. His business con cern, the Jno. C. Bond Hardware Company, is the oldest business in Edenton. He also served several terms as mayor of Edenton. He was also military inclined, having organ ized the old Company I, of 'which he was the first captain, being later pro moted to the title of major. He was deputy register of deeds under Wil liam Skinner, who was register of deeds from 1841 to 1885. At Mr. Skinner’s death in 1885, Mr. Bond was appointed to serve the unexpired term and was elected to the office in 1886, serving until 1890. Mr. Bond was a great sports fan, in his earlier years managing out standing Edenton baseball teams and even until last year was a regular attendant at any athletic game stag ed in Edenton. Nearby waters ap pealed to him, too, much of his time having been spent in fishing and cruising on his yacht the “Firefly.” He is survived by his second wife formerly Mrs. Elizabeth Bunch, and three children by his former mar riage, Mrs. Mary Temple, of Colum bus, Ohio; Mrs. MsHge Stephenson, of Washington, D. C., and John Manning Bond, of Phoebus, Va. Pall bearers were: Henry Gardner, D. M. Warren, Henry Jones, J. Frank White, M. F. Bond, Frank Jones and Will Brinkley. Thomas Blanchard In Hospital After Race With Death After a race with death Saturday night, Thomas Blanchard, 11- year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Blanchard, of Cross Roads, is a pa tient in the Windsor Hospital, where he was operated upon late Saturday night by Doctors Castelow and Lyon, assisted by Dr. J. A. Powell, of Edenton.

Help Us to Help Others NEED FOR RELIEF BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCILTUESDAY United Charities $478 In Debt For Provisions Furnished neeiTshoes Cauncilmen Agree to Appropriate S2OO In Emergency Though very few matters confront ed members of Town Council at the monthly meeting Tuesday night, the session was quite lengthy with con siderable discussion of relief for old and dependent citizens. W. J. Taylor, welfare officer, ap peared before the Board and ex plained that there are about 20 folks within the city limits who must be given aid in order to prevent them from starving or freezing dur ing the coming winter months. Mr. Taylor explained the amount of re lief this class of people now receive, which is a few dollars per month from the County Commissioners, a food order from the United Charities every two weeks amounting to either 78 cents or 58 cents each, according to the class of relief. Aside from this clothing, which is made in the sewing rooms, is distributed and a small order of groceries given twice a month from federal sources. Mr. Taylor, however, explained that the United Charities is now un able to issue any more orders at the present time having accumulated a debt of $478 for groceries given to this unfortunate group. It was for this reason that he appeared before Town Council in an effort to receive an appropriation. The situation was thoroughly ex plained to the Councilmen by Mr. Taylor and the Board subsequently voted to appropriate S2OO for the United Charities. Mr. Taylor em phasized the fact that most of those on this relief roll are now badly in need of shoes and expressed his in tention of asking the local Ambu lance Company if it might not be (Continued on page Five) Dedication Sunday Os Methodist Hymnals At the Sunday Morning service of the Methodist Church a brief but im pressive ceremony will be held de dicating the New Methodist Hymnals which will be used for the first time by the congregation. This Hymnal is considered a very fine achievement. It is said that the content and form of this book will not be changed for the next 60 years. The* local con gregation is fortunate to have this gift and desires to thank the donors. Their names will be read at this cere mony and all who made this gift possible are urged to be present. The sermon for the morning ser vice will be, “Music as Revelation” and for the evening service, “Last Words of Advice of the Hero Paul”.

LEGION - ROTARY MEETING TONIGHT IN PARISH HOUSE Both Organizations Will Meet to Observe Arm istice Day LeROY~SPEAKER Invitations Sent Urging Large Attendance of Each Group Aside from the Armistice Day ser vice held Wednesday morning at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, when Judge I. M. Meekins, of Elizabeth City, de livered an Armistice Day address, the cessation of hostilities in the World War will further be celebrated tonight at the Parish House when a joint meeting of the Edenton Rotary Club and Ed Bond Post of the American Legion will be held, begin ning at 7 o’clock. Henry Leßoy, of Elizabeth City, past commander o£ Seth Perry Post and past district governor of the Ki wanis Club, has been secured to make the principal address and no doubt will be reason for many of the Legionnaires to attend, for he is an excellent speaker, especially for pa triotic occasions. The Rotary Club was hopeful also of securing Edmund Harding of Washington, N. C., Rotary governor for the 57th district, as a special guest, but N. K. Rowell, president of the Club, was notified this week that he would be unable to attend. Aside from Mr. Leßoy, Rotarians have especially invited Louis Ander son, of Hertford, to attend the meet ing in order to be assured of snappy and appropriate songs for the occa sion. The regular noon-day luncheon ol the Rotary Club will not be held, and every Rotarian is urged to join in the joint meeting at night in order to creditably celebrate the end of the terrible war as well as to register another 100 percent meeting. John A. Holmes, secretary of the Rotary Club, as well as commander of the Legion Post, has sent letters to members of both organizations urging them to be at the meeting. The meal will be served by the ladies of St. Mary’s Guild, and will be paid for individually. The program will be sponsored by the Rotary Club. Judge Meekins Speaker Armistice Day Program A small but very appreciative au dience was present at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Wednesday morn ing at 11 o’clock when an Armistice Day program was held. Judge I. M. Meekins, of Elizabeth City, was the principal speaker for the occasion, and he very ably and interestingly spoke upon the American Constitu tion. Aside from this special service, Armistice Day passed unobserved in Edenton except for the blowing of whistles at 11 o’clock and the Ameri can flag displayed in the business section. All business places were section.

Woodmen Will Have Oyster Supper Friday Woodmen of the W’orld of Eden ton and Hertford anticipate an ex ceptionally good time Friday night, when an oyster supper will be serv ed in the local camp’s hall over Ed Habit’s pressing works. The supper is the outcome of a contest between Edenton and Hertford Woodmen in which the camp that first secured SIO,OOO in the order’s insurance de partment was to be served a banquet at the expense of the other. The Hertford camp won a very close race and hence will be honor guests at the regular meeting of Elm Camp Friday night, at which time an Ahoskie chef has consented to prepare the oysters according to the tastes of those present Raleigh Holloweli, counsellor of the Edenton camp, is very anxious that every member of the lodge he present in order to help entertain the victors.

A hearing on this phase of the bridge’s construction was held in Edenton several weeks ago at which time protests were registered by a number of shippers, but these pro tests apparently carried no weight with the Department. The structure will consist of a steel draw span providing two princi pal navigation openings, each having a horizontal clearance of 140 feet and fixed timber approach spans having uniform horizontal clearances of 23 feet throughout. These clear ! ances were considered by the War Department to be ample for both 1 present and prospective navigation |and hence were approved. Driving of test piles for the con struction of the new bridge has been under way for a week or more and this preliminary work will no doubt be completed this week. Following the approval by the War Department and information available following completion of test pile driving, it is expected that the contract for the building of the bridge will be let by the State High way and Public Works Commission early in December.
