The couple were married at Cokes bury Methodist Church, using the double ring ceremony, performed by the bride’s cousin, the Rev. Free man Heath of Clinton, on December 22. Only relatives and intimate friends of the couple were present for the wedding. Mrs. McWhirter is the former Mrs. Clara Spence Harrington of Cokesbury, and has been active in the social, civic and religious af fairs of Lillington and Harnett County for a number of years. Mr. DeWhirter is originally from York, S. C.. and lias been a prom inent merchant there for years. At present he is connected with the J. H. Hobby Company of Raleigh. The couple will make their home at Fuquay Springs, Route 2. VISIT IN FAYETTEVILLE Mrs. J. W. Suggs and daughter Carolyn. Mrs. Johnny Suggs. Mrs. C. C.

Dr. GeorgesCti threll, pastor of the Hood Mem orial Christian Church will be speaker for the occasion. ' TEACHERS TO MEET On Thursday, January 17, Miss Carrie Phillips, State president of the Association for Childhood Edu cation, and Miss Patsy Montague from the Division of Instructional Service, State Department of Pub lic Istruetion, will meet with the Harnett County Elementary teach ers. The meeting will be held in th library Os the Lillington High School at 4 o'clock. At this time a report of the nominating committee will be made Along The Routes By John Follett When the invention of the auto bile brought about the building of good roads, many wiseacres pro phesied the total extinction of those two great American institutions, the country store and the mail order house. Today when the mo tor car is more than fifty years old and is numbered in the mil lions, both of the aforesaid institu tions seem to be doing nicely, thank you. The great mail-order houses still send out tons of catalogues, and country stores have gone on as before with the addition of gas pumps v and automobile accessory departments. During my travels Along the Routes, especially along Rt. 3 out of Dunn, I have visited many such stores. The throat goes rather dry after talking to many people about the superiorities of The Daily Record over other papers, county weeklies or tri-weeklles or city dailies. There is something very pleasant about a big red Cocar Cola cooler in a wayside store wil der such conditions. ' That red cooler is almost 0 com mon denominator among the coun try stores, at least on RX> 3. Only one such store that I visited lack ed the red cooler. It had a blue Pepsi-Cola despenser. There are more than a dozen country stores along ’Route 3, not counting the ones on the’ Dunn- Erwih highway. That section is so built up that the stores are really neighborhood stores, city stores, if you please. Last week I devoted half a col umn to the largest and most color ful of the stores Along the Routes: West’s Grocery and Market at the edge of what used to be called Averysboro. Next in variety of mer chandise is Alphln’s Store near Bethsday Church. This business was founded during World War II by the late L. H. Alphin, when failing health forced him to give up his grocery in Benson, Mrs Alphin car ries on the store, which has more of the atmosphere of the old gen eral store of my childhood than any other I have seen. Os course the open cracker barrel has been replaced by a rack of gayly labeled and cellophane-wrapped baked goods, but the counters piled high, with blue Jeans, the circle of chairs/ and benches for customers to sip and visit a spell certainly sloughed off about forty years of my life, j One modern touch is the pile of feed In dress-goods bags. Mrs. aA- and the organization will get un derway. Members of the nominating committee are: Mrs. D. T. Stutts, Erwin, Mrs. Anna C. Bryan, Dunn, Mrs. Lela Harrington, Benhaven. Miss Mary Lanier of the Lilling t.on school, and her committee will be in charge of refreshments. VISITS PARENTS Earl Maynard, Jr., of Greensboro visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Maynard over the past week end. phin told me that many farmers bring their wives along when they come to buy cattle feed so that the bags chosen may be to the taste of the ladies. The youngest and one of the smallest of the stores on RD 3 is Blackman’s Grocery, founded only last April by "Mrs. C. R. although once before Delmas Whit tenton had run a store for a short time at the same spot. Mrs. Blackmon sells only gro ceries, soft drinks, and ice cream. Her Qittle store looks like a florist Ah op, ite wide window filled . with potted plants. It serves almost as a club house for the ladies of the neighborhood. The oldest store I visited is that of D. P. Jones on the old Fair Ground Road. That one was found ed 14 years ago. Subscriber Jones sells only gasoline and groceries. The newest and most modern stores along RD 3 are Partin’s Gro cery and Service Station on the Fair Ground Road and J. E. Wil liams’ Grocery and Service Station near Turlington’s Cross Roads. Both are in buildings which were put up for the purpose, both are strictly post-war developments. Partin’s even has a television set. The day I was there was cold and drizzly. At least ten fanners were sitting snugly inside the warm store enjoying TV. The two stores are much alike in many ways. Both sell frozen foods, both stock ice cream and baked goods, both are agents for well-known stock feeds. As regards newness, G. R. Pope at Turlington Cross Roads will soon be the newest of all. The Pope store is now in ah old and somewhat dingy building, but will move into attractive hew quarters a short distance down N. C. 56. Most of the stores are family af fairs , some of them largely operat ed by the dia*»ft side while her husband is farming or working else where. At least one, Byrd’s Store on that same Fair Ground Road, is being carried on by its present proprietor. . Clyde Byrd, while he recover# from a grievous leg In jury. 'At least one very small rural -Store, that of Faison M. Barefoot, almost burst at the seams last summer during the maneuvers. You see Uncle Sam chose to es tablish a truck company camp al most in front of the store. That’s the list It is representa tive rather than complete. It shows that the country store still sur vives in spite of the fact that the roads to communities like Dunn are good and cars are plentiful. Not all such stores succeed. There are several deserted:store buildings on RD 3. But new stores crop up al most oVer night Oh, yes, besides the soft drink cooler all the stores mentioned have one more thing in common: their proprietors are subscribers to The Daily Record. Spence Circle Is Entertained Mrs. Alonzo Gregory and Mru. Will Woodkll were hostesses Tues day evening to members of the Marjorie Spence Circle of the Bap tist Missionary Society. Mrs. Oregory presided over the meeting and also presented the wu gumt *"Tu» UUQBOn WM gueSi iiUNN, N. C. What a chance for you! We are housecleaning in V T n Jjj our entire store. Out they go!
