TOWV BOARD BtEETS The Southem Pines Board of Com- mflMloners held a routine meeting Wednesday night, discussing among other matters plans for acquiring the Civic Center site on West Broad street. In the largest civil case tried in Moore county since the Davidson will case several years ago, the Meriden National Bank was awarded Judg ment against M, H. Turner and wife of Southern Pines in the amount of 96,532.58 and Interest from March 22, 1936.
