Short Stay Here
Mr. and Mrs .Gene Austin and
party left this morning for Atlata,
Ga., after a week's vacation
spent here and never have Southport
citizens been more reluctant
to bid adieu t" a group oT
their guests.
The Austins came in last Thurs- f
Hay with Otto Heimel and Russ
Hall, both actors and radio artists.
They composed the team of
Candy and Cocoa. Charles Picard,
who acts as secrctaiy to the
/Vustins and assists in the performances,
was also in the party, g
They had completed a tour of
personal appearances that extended
all the way from Hollywood I
to New York early last week. |
There in New York Gene remembered
the blissful days that
tie spent in Southport eleven years
ago, days which he has never forgotten.
He had only been here '
once and he was bound to come j
again.
The whole party is due in Atlanta,
Ga., on March 18th for a
ten-day run at the famous Roxy
Theatre. From there they go to
Kansas City, Kans., for a five day
run at the biggest theatre in that I
city. Early in April they are to
be on the road again filling a
32-week personal appearance con- E
tract.
The trip to Southport was just
a friendly visit, made possible by
die short gap of time between
he New York and Atlanta engagements.
Gene and Mrs. Austin ^
adopted Southport from the moment
of arrival, so did Candy
and Cocoa. Even Picard got a ?
big kick out of the stay here. 13
As for the town it went crazy b
ever Gene eleven years ago. And r
It went crazy again, over both v
him and Mrs. Austin. Visits were ^

Churches 1
Although it has been several
times rebuilt and the
location shifted, the alertness
of Mrs. J. N. Lancaster of
Supply reveals the fact that
the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church
in Lockwoods Folly township
is not far from bcin r two
hundred years old.
Mrs. Lancaster recently
read something written by
the Civic Club secretary relative
to old churches, the article
appearing in this paper.
Living near Mt. Pisgah, her
attention was attracted and
this week she wrote IV. B.
Keziah the following very interesting
information about,
that church. She says:
"Mt. Pisgah Baptist church
was first organized in 1762.
It was known then, as now,
as Mt. Pisgah. The first structure
Was built of logs and was
located on the bank of Lockwoods
Folly river, about two
miles below the present town
of Supply. Several years later
it was moved to another ]o?%tio?

Development
In Frink Bill
till To Extend Term Of
Brunswick County Recorder
Was Due For Hearing
Tuesday Before Senate
Committee
No new word has been received
n the bill introduced last week
iy Senator S. Bun Frink to exend
the term of Brunswick couny
Recorder from two years to
our years.
A hearing was scheduled for
hiesday before the Senate comlittee
on courts and judicial disricts.
Representative Cornelius T.'ioms,
who says that he will be
ound by the action of the Demcratic
executive committee in
his matter, was not in Raleigh
he first two days of this week,
ut he did wire Speaker Libby
Vard to have any matters of
Irunswick county legislation reurred
to committee.
A heated exchange between
enator Frink and George R.
'oulke, Jr., featured this week's
cvclopmcnts. Frink charged that
Foulke evidently thinks that he
i senator." Foulke retorted that
; was his right as a Democrat
nd a citizen to oppose any Iegisition
that he believed to be conrary
to the best interest of his
ounty. He said that he was not
pposed to Walter M. Stanaland,
resent judge of Recorder's court
ersonally, but that he believed
tic people should have the opporunity
to show by their vote whetier
they wanted him as Recorder
or four years instead of for two
ears.
