of Methodist history in Edenton.
Mrs. Browning related in part how
a most interesting historical ac
count of Methodism -here had come
into her possession. Many years
ago, when the Methodist Church
was moved from Eden Street to
Broad Street, Dr. W. A. Leggett,
Mrs. Browning’s father, was at
tracted to a huge leather-bound
volume lying in a heap of rubbish
at the site of the church on Eden
Street. Investigation revealed that
this volume contained a minutely j,
detailed account of Methodist his-/
tory in Edenton from 1808 to the <
late 1890’s, with a break of four
years from 1882 to 1886, the war
years.
One of the most interesting facts

PATRIARCH'S RESTING PLACE: Htbto-A localfd 10 mil,,
south of Jerusalem, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited
communities in Jordan, one of the Bible Lands. It is situated In a ;
valley and on a sloping hill 3,000 feet above sea level. It is sur
rounded by vineyards noted for their green and white grapes and
olive groves. Hebron’s outstanding attraction is the Mosque of
Abraham, where the patriarch is reputed to be buried along with
his wife Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Leah and Rebecca.
about this book is that the history
of the Methodist Church is sand
wiched between a section devoted
to unknown eighteenth century
poetry and the accounts of an old
Edenton tavern. Thanks to the
fact that Mrs. Browning has work
ed for the past few years in mak
ing a typed script of the part of
the book dealing with Methodism,
the possibility of making available
a history for general distribution is
not remote. In the hope that this
can be done, Mr. Richardson sug
gested on Monday evening that a
chapter on contemporary church
life be included, taking into account
the most notable service rendered
by people whi will be active in th*
program of the church for the next
two years.
Monday night’s meeting closed
with refreshments served by Mrs.
Earl Richardson.
118-Year-Old Gun
Found In Edenton
- Continued From Page 1, Section 1
! Sergeant Efird described the
* weapon as “a muzzle-loading, dou
ble-barreled, caplock shotgun.”
Engraved on the hack-action
locks are the words, “Onion and
Wheelock, 1838.” Sergeant Efird
estimated the gun was manufac
tured in England and added that
it was equal at the time to a “well
made, high-priced, 12-gauge sport
ing weapon of today.
To examine the gun in detail,
Sergeant Efird cut the barrel for
ward of the lock and extracted pa
per wadding, shot, more paper wad
ding and black powder, in that or
der.
The scraps of paper—crumbling
and yellow—are partially readable.
The date, “1889” appears in what
was evidently an almanac reproduc
tion. Other words which can be
read include “Chowan” and “Gli
den, N. C.”
An advertisement tells the mer
its of a cure-all remedy and an
other extends “Harvest and
Thanksgiving Greetings.” Several
wood cuts are reproduced.
The shot, according to Sergeant
Efird. consisted of three sizes—
“approximately 2, 4 and 6 gauge”.
