The city has another five months to raise its portion. first night of ourChristmas visit with relatives, we passed through where Raeford is now. The McRae home, only house in town at that time. We came from Red Springs via An tioch—the old Raeford-Red Springs road. We went by Keyset instead of by Blue’s Crossing, it was then, now Aberdeen. For years there had been a twice-a-week mail from Clark’s Mill to Keyset, M.G. McKenzie was mail contractor, and his wife postmistress. McKenzie was con tractor for carrying the mails twice a week from Clark’s Mill to Keyset, Powelton and Carthage. You could carry all the accumulated mails for a week in your hat—^not bothering to place it on your shoulder. {snip} The post office was where Raeford dry Cleaners now are, and was a framed building lOby 12feetinsize.

Riley Jordan and Robert Townsend. In an opinion piece by Publisher Paul Dickson, he takes Hoke lead ers to task for opting under a new state law to forbid the sale of beer and wine on Sunday. “Of course, these commissioners are getting the pressure from the prohibitioni sts like the Hoke County and Raeford boards did to go on and ‘stop this evil before it starts,’ but I doubt that they represent or speak the will of the majority of the people any more than they did when they loudly tried to keep the people form voting in favor of the legal sale of beer in the first place, {snip} If I sound a little bitter at these people, it is because I am. I feel very strongly that one reason for the continuing breakdown of law enforcement in this country is the fact that so often, as in this case, we have boards passing restrictive rales when there is no sense in it and when people are not going to abide by them. The great American experiment with prohibition of fifty- odd years ago has spawned more crime than every other reason for evil put together, and it in the name of decency.” 25 Years Ago September 22, 1993 Only one Hoke commissioner votes against a public hearing on possibly dissolving the joint city- county planning board. Tom How ell accuses another commissioner of a personal vendetta. “Let’s just own up to what you want to do,” he said. “We tried to combine things that made sense. The county wanted good planning. The city wanted good planning. You’re willing to destroy the work of the past eight to ten years for a personal vendetta. Commissioner Riley Jordan said he is willing when “I have one that’s ran as poorly as this.” Three of the four county-appointed members resigned with the past month, followed by the county attorney and county manager. All five cited disagreement with the majority of commissioners. Last week’s drenching rains failed to dampen spirits attheTurkey Festival.

They advertised ‘How to Keep Goats from Jumping the Fence,’ Charge 10 Cents. They got lots of dimes for such informa tion. The Answer the fellow got was: ‘Put Up Two Rails, and he will walk over.’ That was not honest, and was stopped.” Left photo: L.S. Brock mans a dunking booth.

(September i 23,1971) An attack on the problem of dumping trash and garbage in the county will be begun in the next few weeks. “We’re going to get started cleaning up the woods and roadsides all over this county, M.R.

Dust mites build up in less frequent ly washed items like sweaters, jackets, and coats. Washing in very hot water kills mites, or 15 minutes in a hot dryer after a cool-water wash and air-drying. And if high tem peratures are out of the question, kill mites by freezing the garment overnight. Dry-cleaning also works. Enjoy the cooler months in good health!
