'A Loo;u;r up
: : Byt A. M. DAVIS
i Our little town and community
for some time has needed a means
of wir"fPtM)l'1" with, our neigh
bors other than those whlon have
bean mad available to us. Our
churches have needed It, our auih
have needed It and our merchants
have needed It Many of our orga
luarttons. both civic and private,
have suffered and died- for the
lack , of stimulatoln adequate com
munication, would have furnished.
Our happens to b a small com
munity and town. Due to oar par
ticular location we are not situa
ted advantageously well to afford
a complete newspaper of our own.
W are in the corner, so to speak,
of Duplin, Sampson and. Wayne
counties. Nona of the newspapers
in these counties have ever given
us adequate coverage-of our local
news or offered our merchants a
satisfactory means of adv erasing.
Our clubs, our chuches, our mer
chants and our people need this
medium In order to survive in this
day of high pressure salesmanship
and modern methods of travel. iue
day is gone when a community can
compete and prosper without this
asset.
A concrete example of this was
brought to my attention, today
while talking with one of our local
merchants. "Why I am selling that
flour for less money than anybody
in town or In any of the surround
ing towns," he said to me. I Investi
gated and found that he was correct
in his statement The flour he
showed me was stacked on the
floor in the middle of his store. No
body saw It or noticed the price of
the flour unless their attention was
called to when they came Into the
store.
What chance did that merchant
have? Absolutely none. Other mer
chants in other towns were adver
tising their special prices. The flour
was selling In other towns for more
money perhaps to some of our own
townspeople yet It could have been
bought cheaper right here in our
own town.
Today I called on a very fine
friend of mine, Rev. E. N. Teague,
pastor of the Piney Grove Baptist
Church. Was I surprtsedT Those
folks in that community certainly
have gone to town in the past year.
They have one of the finest chjirch-
es out there I have seen in these
parts. Very few of us know about
that church, yet, we are their nei
ghbors. We hope to do a feature
story on their accomplishment in
the near future. The story behind
home the following Wednesday at
3 p.m. with the Rev.. T. K. Woody,
Baptist minister of Calypso offi
ciating. Burial was in the Calypso
cemetery. Surviving are one bro
ther, William Bland and several
nephews and nieces. He had been
a member of the Calypso Baptist
Church for 50 years.

Another thing I learned . from
Mrs. Monk Troublefield and others
was that a ne wdub has been form
ed right near FaUon. The nam of
it Is the Alcott Book Club and that
the, club lo very active. Very in?
tereating programs are being given.
We have a story concerning such a
program elsewhere In this paper.
So we have things hapenlnf aU
around us, yet. we know nothing
abouty those happenings.
I am no newspaper writer, as
you can surmise if you have read
this far on this column. I feel when
I start such and. ordeal very mueh
like I suppose a "bob-tall pullet a
slttln' on a rickety hen roost 'a
lookln' up". Hence, the name of
this column.
Several of the leading merchants
and townspeople met with me this
week and agreed to try our present
experiment. We are going to run
this section In the Duplin Times
for several weeks and tf the people
in our town and community like it
and show any degree of cooperation
and interest, we will continue It
indefinitely.
I was very, much Impressed,
when I went to the homes of sev
eral of our friends, her In town
and community, In the show of In
terest they expressed. I talked with
Mrs. Tim Sutton, of the Holiness
Church near Suttontown; Mrs.
Claude Sutton, of the Goshen Meth
odist Church; Mrs. Percy Sutton,
of the Kings Methodist Church;
Mrs. Hazel Skipper, of the Piney
Grove Baptist Church: Mrs. Craw
ford, of Piney Grove School; Mrs.
Monk Troublefield, of The Aleott
Book Club and many others. They
all promised to send news concern
ing the activities of their particu
lar organizations each week.
Many of the merchants and
townspeople have promised their
full cooperation in this enterprise.
I have lived here long enough and
know them well enough to know
that they will give that cooperation.
From time to time prominent
men in our town and community
will write this column. I originated
it in order to give those people who
have something to say an oppor
tunity to do so. So many people
have ideas that are good. Most of
' us are not soap box orators. Yet,
' soap box oratory is the only method
' we have had in the past.
Let's all fall in behind this ex
periment Give it our full coopera
tion. Help those who are already
trying, to push our community to
the pinnacle of success and better
living we feel it so richly deserves.
condition due to trucks running
into them and the owners not ma
king any repairs on them.
The board delayed their deci
sion until a study of the situation
could be made and a consensus of
the opinion of the - townspeople
could be arrived at.
A delegation of ladies living near
the city limits on the Clinton Road.
asked that a cement sidewalk be
constructed from the Presbyterian
church to the city limits. The board
stated that due to inadequate funds
thet town could not build the walk
at present but would see that a
good sand-clay walk be built in that
particular neighborhood .
