Sky diver killed Sunday (Continued from page 1A) his credit, landed about 250 meters off the west end of the runway at the Raeford Hoke Airport, Barr ington said. According to reports, the four man team jumped at about 7,500 feet, did a team maneuver and separated at about 2,500 feet.

It is good to run old pictures in Tht News-Journal. Every time a picture appears in the paper it will cause someone to bring in another old picture or someone will want to know if a certain picture is still around. Recently Larry Locklear came by the office and he is looking for a picture of the Antioch Indian School. This school was located where the Mt. Elim Baptist Church is now. He thinks this school ex isted from about 1936 to 1952. Now this is a school I don't know anything about. Maybe someone in the Antioch section of the county can remember this school. If you can help, please call Larry at 843-3661 or send me the information and I will send it to him. Monday afternoon I came in from the golf course and found a note that said Harold McDiarmid was visiting Joyce McDiarmid. Now Harold is an old high school buddy of mine whom 1 haven't seen to talk with in 40 or more years. After going to the office and do ing a little work, I called Joyce and asked if Harold would be around at about four o'clock. She replied yes. Mary Alice and I went out to the McDialnnid house and had a visit with Joyce, Harold and his wife. Harold was born and raised in Raeford, the son of the late Dr. and Mrs. H. McK McDiarmid. They lived for many years in the house on North Main Street across from Neill A. McNeill. Then Dr. McDiarmid built the brick home in front of J.W. Turlington School next to Mrs. Bob Lewis. There were two sons in the fami ly, Harold and James, James, Joyce's husband, died several years ago. Harold now lives in Jackson, Miss, and is ? salesman for the Jim Water Papers. We had a mutual interest in paper and had a long conversation about old times and the printing business. Also he is an elder in a Presbyterian Church in Jackson and this brought forth more that we could talk about. Harold finished school in Raeford in 1936 in a class that had many boys that were close friends of mine. They included Harold, James G. Currie, Alvis B. Dickson, Harold Keith, Kerr Stevens, David A. Currie and my brother, Bruce Jr., James O. Alvis and Kerr are now deceased. As I write this, memories of football, baseball and playing cowboy comes back to mind and it is fond memories and good to see an old friend. What about the Chicago Cubs! Preservation to meet Sun . Two hand-carved mantels returned to Mill Prong Two hand-carved 19th century mantels have been returned to Mill Prong Preservation, Inc. for restoration to the Hoke County historic site where they were originally installed. The mantels were removed from Mill Prong to the new Red Springs home of Mill Prong's owner, the late D.P. McEachern, in about 1900. Ed Turberg of Wilmington, ar chitectural consultant to the preservation project has examined ygjg&Mmtels, and they have been bonded warehouse to await in stallation in the restored house. Tur berg's evaluation describes the acquisition as mantels of history and art. "The mantels, each standing more than Ave feet tall, are unique in the art of the wood carver (an unknown talent who made his way through the area nearly two cen turies ago). Built of pine, painted with a blue-grey and cream coat, the mantels are excellent examples of the Federal style and color," Turberg said. He further noted that a similar mantel to Mill Prong's fanshaped work is part of the Abby Aldrich room, forms the "Carolina Room" in the collection. It came from near Wagram (the Alexander ^ e^o Rocke Shaw house) and the work is sign ed: "I.J. Scott 1836." Mill Prong also has a painted room on the second floor. The principal room in the house has false wood graining. Mill Prong Preservation, Inc. will meet on Sunday, September 30 at Antioch Presbyterian Church at 1 p.m. Judge H.A. McKinnon Jr. of Lumberton will be the speaker. Reservations are required for the. luncheon and must be made with payment of $5 by Thurj$ayt.??j3U. TJ& to Mill Prong Preservation,' Inc., P.O.
