This inventory will be prepared on the latest photographic co verage of the county. It will consist of lines or “delineations” which are placed on the photographs representing a cor responding area of the ground.

Approrpiate symbols will be placed within each delineation to denote these changes. As the survey will include all land areas within the county, it will be necessary that the soil scientists cross over property lines, many of which are unknown to him. In order that the survey may progress as rapidly as possible, the county com missioners, Soil Con servation District Super visors and the Soil Con servation Service request that all land owners, tenants THE CHOWAN HERALD, and residents acknowledge the presence of the soil scientist and honor him with permission to continue with his work. It is hoped this will prevent any undue alarm at the site of a strange person walking or riding across the land. The soil scientist will at all times respect the rights and property of all land owners by using caution in traveling on farm paths, closing gates and wire fences. Drilled holes larger than one inch will be filled in areas where livestock is evidenced. At present there are two soil scientist assigned to the survey, Joe Covington and Phillip Tant. They will be driving green colored vehicles with the insignia “U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, SOIL CONSERVATION SER VICE” on both sides. In the field they may be recognized by the augers, probes and map cases they carry. Moore, or soil con servation technician Stanton Harrell, with offices in the basement of the Post Office building, will be glad to answer any questions concerning the survey, its value and the availability of information. “Your cooperation as land owners, tenants and residents will be greatly appreciated,” Moore said. Local Churches Celebrate Biceateanial Evans United Methodist Church and Center Hill United Methodist Church celebrated the Bicentennial Jointly on November 21, under the leadership of their minister, Rev. Daniel Forbes, and Mrs. Forbes. Evans Chinch was also observing the 150th an niversary of its recorded history. The inscription on the arched stained-glass window above the entrance to the chrurch reads simply: Evans M. E. Church- Founded 1826—Rebuilt 1888—Remodeled 1913. The society, as each early Methodist organization was known, actually began with religious services held in the home of the Reverend Zachariah Evans. Ap parently they were well attended, for the first membership roll, dated 1811, bears 68 names. The church’s earliest legal document is a deed signed November 4, 1826, when a group headed by Rev. Henry Holmes of Edenton paid Henry Welch $3 for land on the Old Virginia Road. Here the Evans Meeting House, as it was called, was erected. In compliance with the Methodist discipline, it. was a very small, plain building. In the early 1800 s Center Hill Methodist Church was known as Skinner’s Meeting House. The land on which the church stands was originally a part of the Skinner tract and was deeded in November, 1838, by William R. Skinner to the Methodists. Die first house of worship was a log building; it has been remodeled three times—the last time in 1916-1917. As the first part of its celebration each church held its commemorative service in its own building (now an attractive, white painted structure)—Evans Church at 9:45 o’clock and Center Hill at 11 o’clock. At both places Rev. Norwood L. Jones, superintendent of the Elizabeth City District, preached the sermon and offered a memorial prayer. In Evans Church flowers at the altar were in memory of all deceased members. At Center Hill, flowers in the vestibule were likewise in memory of the deceased members; those in the sanctuary were in memory of Henry E. Lane, James (Jimmy) Madison and Minnie Perry Turner, Blanche W. Whtie and in honor of C. B. White, Sr. In each congregation were several former members who have transferred to churches nearer their present homes. At 12:30 P. M. the two congregations and many friends from the Center Hill Baptist Church met at the Center Hill Community Building for lunch and the Bicentennial program. Special guests were Rev. and Mrs. Norwood L. Jones; Rev. and Mrs. Robert E. Walston, who were on the Chowan Charge, 1935-1939; Mr. P. M. Porter, whose husband was pastor, 1954- 1957; Rev. and Mrs. Frank Fortescue, who served on the charge, 1957-1961; and Rev. and Mrs. George L.
