(Cut courtesy of Wilmington Star-News) Couple Returns For Vacation ? Mr. And Mrs. George Ab bott of Woodbury Heights, N. J., Will Spend Month Of October In Area Mr. and Mrs. George Abbott, Woodbury Heights, N. J., are at Long Beach and Southport for .thfifc annual vacation period of. dSe ;in&nth. They have been com ing here each fall for the past four years and are so pleased with this section of North Car olina that they hope to retire in a few years and make their permanent home here. Mr. Abbott is one of -the own ers of the Abbott Dairy Pro ducts Distributors, one of thj? major industries of its kind in Philadelphia. In this office Monday Mrs. Abbott stated that one thing that makes tfie Brunswick county coast so attractive to them is the quiet, uncrowded and unhurried way of things. She said that she knew that in the course of time both Long Beach and CasweU Beach will fill up with people. But, she added, the beach is such a long one it will take thousands and thousands of people to really fiU it up and therefore we should have a quiet beautiful beach for many years to come. Both Mr. and Mrs. Abbott are very much devoted to fishing. This is one reason why they always pick the month of October for their vacation. In furtherance of their plans for a full month of fishing, they brought with them from Philadelphia the real thing in a small fishing boat, powered by^ two outboard motors. They are placing the boat on Davis Creek and using that place as a base for operations. They expect to make many forays in neigh boring waters, including the creeks around Bald Head Island. Visitor Returns To Birthplace Alfred R. Reynolds Here Re cently For Visit After Be? ing Gone From Southport For Half-Century An interesting visitor here the past week was Alfred Rankin Reynolds from Jacksonville, Fla. who returned for his first visit in over half-century. Mr. Rey nolds was born in Southport in 1880 and moved to Jacksonville with his parents in 1893. He was accompanied on the trip from Charleston by Mrs. Reynolds and their son, Richard Reynolds, and Mrs. Gilitha Dawson, sister of Mrs. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds was born in a house that stood on the corner where the brick building owned by Dr. Roy Daniels now stands. He lived there with his parents until he was 13 years old, at which time the family moved to Florida. The father of Mr. Reynolds was of the first engineers on steam boats on the Cape Fear river. Among the boats on which he served were the Louise, Bessie and j Steamer Wilmington, all widely known river passenger and freight boats of their day. He left South port to take a much better posi ? ? -? -<?/ J u:~u Despite the fact that he was only 13 when he left here 57 years ago, Mr. Reynolds says that he has always remembered the town and has always waited, to come back. He just never got around to coming until last w^fek. He hopes to be back here next summer to spend some time. > ? ' He .is distantly related to- 'Mrs. R. T. Woodside of Southpdrt' and to Isaac Reynolds of Shallotte. MOVES TO SOT'THPORT Captain and Mrs. Harry L$Hew of Wilmington, Delaware, have bought the Aspenwall home and moved to Southporty Captain Le Hew was born in Southport and has retired after many years with thei U. S. Army Engineers. The Pirate By: The Three Buccaneers (Kat, Jan and Peg.) This week consisted mostly of studying for tests. The students can't seem to get settled down to their old routine of homework. Thursday a dog show was pre sented. It was sponsored by the juniors and we think it was en joyed by everyone. The dogs act ed with as much sense as people. They even walked on tight ropes, two passing each other at the same time. Friday some of the football boys took off for Southport to see a thrilling game between Southport and Chadbourn. The Shallotte Pirates are expecting to play Southport Friday afternoon. Last week we failed to mention that Jimmy Kirby, a former stu dent of Shallotfe, has been home on leave. He is in the Navy and is stationed in California. I The cool weather has already 1 brought out many winter plaids. : They are in all colors red, green, | brown, blue and many others. I Among tfiose who have been light ing up the halls with the latest styles are Louise Hewett, Ger trude Hewei*, Carol Ann Sellers. Billie Leonard, Sylvia Semons and Cecilia Tripp. Short hair has also taken the lead. We are seeing these new haircuts on Mary Emma Tripp, Myrna Clemmons and latest of all Amelia (Snooks) Kirby. The nickname for this fashion is "G. I.'s for girls" and naturally the boys thought of this. That doesn't matter, Girls, we like them. Seen Around: Jack Robinson [talking in every class as usual . .

Thousands Attend Farmers (Continued pTom Page One) Each of the other 19 farm girls received a valuable piece of jewelry. Judges were Cullen Johnson of Raleigh, professional entertainer; Bob Weirich, State news editor of the Wilmington Morning Star; and W. Z. Barkley. Total value of the prizes dis tributed among the three winners and the other contestants was , $475. A few minutes after the beauty ' contest, some $600 in prizes to farmers in the audience. These | were were given by drawing num ibers which had been distributed free as the crowd filed into the | warehouse. I The Friday night throng sounded la thunderous "yes" to the ques j tion as to whether they wanted !next year's Farmers Day to be iheld on the Railroad Plaza. The | one-sided answer came after Dave S. NeilSon, master of ceremonies, had inquired as to the poular will of the people. Most of the festivities were held inside ? the warehouse this year as an experiment, since the Railroad Plaza could1 riot be used in case of rain and sjnce the noise of passing trains and the roping off of streets presented a problem' in the conduct of stage performances and traffic; handling. An estimated crowd . of 12,000 saw the parade, but somewhat smaller audiences were-, on hand for. .the afttftnoOrt' enWrtalnrnfttt4 at the warehouse. Among the features were Cullen Johnson's one-man show, Girls of the Golden West, amateur con tests, and other conte*ts such' as hog calling, the' greasy pole, etc' Jc ? ' i John M. Barkley, general chair-, man, expressed appreciation to the | crowd for coming to Whiteville as guests of the merchants and Civitans. Speaking for the spon sors, he said the event seemed to be a great success. The parade, one of the longest and most Interesting In the five- 1 year history of the event, was ! witnessed by the largest crowd on record. The Whiteville High School Band led the parade and was fol lowed by the football team and the high school float. Some unusually colorful features were added this year. The mask type hoods attracted considerable attention as did Paul Williamson in his cowboy hat, the 1907 Metz car, and others. The parade group included cars, groups and displays as lollows: Whiteville Sub-Deb Club, Junior Woman's Club, Army Recruiting vehicles, National Guard, V. F. W. American Legion, float of beauty contestants of Civitan Club, Columbus Bookmobile, Busi ness and Professional Women's Club, Lions Club, Jaycees, Bobby Smith, Bullard Motors, Walker Bros., Braxton Motor Sales, Sing Service Station, Quality Motors, Spradley's, Columbus County Band, Sea Scouts, Brownie Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Avant & Sholar, Credit Women's Break fast Club, Nelson's Warehouse, Carolina Motors, Marks Truck and Tractor Company, Simmons Drug Co., Future Farmers of America of Williams Township j High School, Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company, McKeel Motors, Whiteville Oil Company, Meares Hardware, North Carolina Forestry Service, R. F. Hall & Son, Fuller & Elliott Tractor Company, Whiteville Fire Depart ment, and State Highway De partment. These names were caught as the parade traveled the length of Madison Street before breaking up for festivities at Moore's Ware house. Some of the films had sev eral cars in the parade. The com mercial and civic display was among the best on record. - POULTRY SHOW (Continued from page one) day. The 4-IV club boys and girls were given day old chicks for their start last spring.
