THIsTWEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
WE TOO ARE HIS AGENTS: The Lord also will be
a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.—
Psalms 9:9.
Welcome BTU Visitors!
From a wide area on Friday and Saturday of this
week many Baptists will gather in Edenton to attend
the annual Regional Training Union Convention, the
sessions of which will be held in the Baptist Church.
The local church will be host to the large number of
visitors and there is no douht whatever but that those
local Baptists who attend the convention will live up to
the reputation Edenton has for being hospitable and
friendly.
However, many Baptists will not attend the sessions
of the convention, so that the visitors will provide an
opportunity for this group, as well as those who are not
Baptists to extend a welcome hand and make the guests
feel at home while they are in our midst.
Os course, some of the visitors have been in Edenton
before, and know what to expect in way of friendliness,
but no doubt the convention will draw some who will
be visiting Edenton for the first time. It will be a select
group, coming here to learn more about the work and
responsibility of the church.
The Herald hopes no visitor will be disappointed in
the convention, for which no little time and energy has
been spent in arranging an interesting ad profitable pro
gram, and also that the experiences during the two-day
period will for a long time serve as a reminder of a
pleasant time enjoyed in old Edenton. The Herald, there
fore, extends a welcome to all who attend the convention
and hopes as the result there will be better men and
women and better communities from which the visitors
come.
Better Than Reading
In this issue of The Herald appears the second in
stallment of youngsters who will be “Citizens of Tomor
row”, which we hope is being enjoyed by readers of The
Herald. Os course, the parents of the babies will un
doubtedly think their offspring is the cutest of the lot,
but the writer has not only looked at the pictures once,
but several times, and to pick out the cutest one would
be, to say the least, a difficult task.
The Herald is proud to print these groups of young
sters and regrets that the day the photographer was
in Edenton to take the pictures the weather was so in
clement that many mothers hesitated to take their child
ren to the hotel.
Even if you do not have a baby in the group, look
’em over. They’re as interesting as the reading matter,
and a fine specimen of humanity.
Actions Louder Than Words
Leon Hamilton, business manager of the Binghamton
baseball club, is another person who is impressed with
Edenton's friendliness and hopitality. Mr. Hamilton on
numerous occasions has expressed his appreciation for
the way he, officials of the club and recruits have been
received by Edentonians in general.
“Actions speak louder than words” is an axiom no
doubt believed in by Mr. Hamilton, for aside from his
verba' remarks, he has arranged a baseball game next
Wednesday afternoon from which the local baseball
team will participate in gate receipts. Mr. Hamilton is
also planning to arrange a beTiefit game for the Edenton
Band.
To say the ffiast Mr. Hamilton’s generosity is a gesture
of good will, so that The Herald hopes many fans will
turn out not only for these two benefit games, but for
other exhibition games scheduled not only for practice
but for baseball fans as well.

Heard & Seen
By “Buff*’ j
l. . - —-f 1
It was more like football weather .than basebdll for
Sunday afternoon’s game between the Binghamton
Triplets and 'New Bern, especially after the sun began
its downward course. In fact Mayor Leroy Haskett
made the suggestion .that a percolator of coffee should
be passed around. Another fan hearing the Mayor
piped out “Coffee, the dickens, as cold as it is someone
outght to pass the jug around.”
The County Commissioners are planning to sell the
timber at .the County Home property and one of ’em
made the suggestion that no trees be cut in the yard.
Nope, don’t let ’em cut the trees in the yard, for some
of us might want to sit under their shade if the cost of
living continues to go skyward.
o
Next Wednesday afternoon Binghamton and Man
chester will play an exhibition game with the proceeds
going to the Edenton baseball club. The game will be
gin at 2:15 and with a good game in prospect, here’s
hoping a big crowd of fans turns out. Leon Hamilton,
business manager of the Triplets is also planning on
a game for the benefit of the band. Fine business.
o
With Peter Carlton being manager of the Chamber
of Commerce and public relations director for the town
and county, it now looks as though the whole works will
go to the dogs—or maybe the fish. He’s become an avid
fishing enthusiast, especially since one day last week
when he “almost” caught one. He is causing me some
concern, for up until now I have not seen him smoke,
chew tobacco or heard him cuss. Let him keep on fish
ing and he’ll be liable to be doing all three.
o
It’s just a waste of time and space to use this para
graph, for it will not be believed. At any rate, Frank
Hughes can verify it. While he and I were fishing for
a few hours Saturday we pulled up a log in the creek
and desiring to put one line near the log, I allowed my
other line to lie across the boat fishing in deeper water.
I had just hooked a big speckled perch near the log, when
Frank yelled, “Buff, a fish pulled your pole overboard.”
I, of course, thought that my walking in the boat merely
shook the pole off the boat, but sffddenly the pole took
off down the creek. It didn’t take us long to start up
the motor, and unlike most fish stories, the scudder
didn’t get away. Friend Frank grabbed the pole and on
the other end was a speckled perch which looked like a
shad when he was coming in the boat. Now I’ll have
to do some explaining.
o
I’m having a time convincing the County Commission
ers that advertising in The Herald brings results. It’s
all because the Commissioners carried an ad to sell the
old stoves in the Court House now that a modern heat
ing system has been installed, but not a single bid was
submitted. Os course, I have the weather to fall back
on, but even at that one or two of ’em some of us
wouldn’t have, so it looks as though it .was about time
to get rid of the things.
Doc John Warren recommended to the County Com
missioners that the cells in the jail be painted, and the
Commissioners complied with his request. They’re a
humane bunch, sort of “brightening up” for the
“boarders”.
The Herald has had its face lifted in that the front
of the building has been painted. Sort of joining Mayor
Haskett in his clean-up and paint-up campaign. Any
body else who will join the Mayor in his effort to make
Edenton more attractive? I’m going to cooperate 100
per cent, for over the week-end I’m going to clean off
my desk —unless an emergency arises and I must go
fishing.
o
The Red Men had their annual fish fry Tuesday night,
at which their wives were guests. Arthur Hollowell was
standing almost shoe-top deep in bones when he finished,
so that I’d say he ate the most fish. Just because I took
my time to eat and was about the last one to finish, I, of
course, was given credit for eating a lot when as a mat
ter of fact I ate only six or seven. That should be proof
that the fish were O. K.
O
It’s no more than right to give credit where credit is
due. Joe Cheshire of Raleigh arrived in Edenton the
other day, sneaked out fishing and went back to Raleigh
without even, a drop of rain falling. No report on his
luck fishing. It’s no use to ask Cal Kranaer.
