General Lew Wallace, author 1
of Ben Hur, was a soldier and
a man of war, as well as a
novelist and a man of peace.
Two of his novels, The Fair God,
a story of Montezuma and the
Conquest of Mexico, and Ben
Hur, a tale of Rome and Judea
at the time of Christ, are the
two books from his pen for
which he is best known. Al
though General Wallace had
many and varied military ex
ploits to his credit, what he
created and achieved with the
pen will long outlive what he
carved with the sword. The
magnificent literary mosaic ofj
Ben Hur, as a novel has lived
many years, has become a class
ic and has earned a permanent
niche in the world of literature. |
As a movie, a medium of lit-1
erary expression Lew Wallace
could not forsee, but wrote a|
perfect vehicle for, Ben Hur has
earned more awards and criti
cal acclamations than’any other
motion picture. It may well be
said that Ben Hur will stand
for all time ~as General Lew
Wallace’s living atonement, if

there’s a little good in any-!
thing, it discounts the evil.

Do you know how much Eden-, 1
ton is worth —in dollar bills?
According to a bit of informa- 1
tion I recently ran across, this
little old town is worth $17,-
000,000.00; and brother, that’s a
lot of money. I'll bet the origi-
I nal towne on Queen Anne’s
Creek didn’t cost as much as
one or two of our fine old Co
lonial estates would sell for to,
| today. But Edenton’s worth is
j not alone in money, although the
economic value and worth of a
J community or town is import
ant, it is the people and what
they live and stand for that
far out-weighs the dollar bills.
And we’ve got more than $17,-

values and integrity right here
in Edenton. >
