Magnolia Depot Sold For $600 The brick depot in Magnolia, more than 100 years old and one of the oldest structures in the town, soon will be gone. The town has sold the building to Vernon Meshaw of Wilmington for $600 recently The building must be demolished and the site cleaned up within 120 days of the start of work. The approval of Seaboard System Railroad, which sold the structure to the town, must be obtained before demolition can begin. House Donated For Library The town of Pink Hill announces that the project known as "Library Project" is nearing completion. The large two-story white frame house on the aimer of W. Broadway and Pine streets is being made available through the generosity of Graham Turner and Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Turner. This building is being given to the town to be used as a library building and is in honor of T.J. and Graham's mother, Mrs. Etta Jones Turner. The town will pay for a portion of the improvements and the library, which will be known as the Etta Jones Turner Memorial Library, will be a branch of the Neuse Regional Area Library and will be under their direction. The town will own the building and provide this for the library rent free. It is very fitting that this facility be named in honor of one of Pink Hill's Joyal citizens and a strong supporter of this community. "Miss Etta," as she was affec tionately known, was a lifetime resident of Pink Hill. Born here, she graduated from the James Sprunt Institute in 1906 in Kenansville. Thereafter she taught school in New Hanover County for a few years. She then returned to Lenoir County and taught school here. One was located near Ervi:i's Crossroads and one near Albrittons. At that time the -schools were not consolidated and each school was under its own system and the expenses were born by a local person or persons. Miss Etta married T.A. Turner and lived in Pink Hill until her death in 1978. They had three children, Ruth T. Parrott of Kinston, and T.J. Turner and Graham Turner of Pink Hill. Pink Hill and (he surrounding community is grateful to Graham Turner and Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Turner for their generous contri bution to make the project become a reality. We expect to announce a dedication date after the library has been stocked and set up for service. Register With Selective Service In the tradition established through the years, the young men of North Carolina are registering with the Selective Service System at a very high compliance rate. Recent figures released by the Selective Service indicate that 99.13 percent of the young men have met the requirement of the law by regis tering at local post offices within 30 days of their ltsth birthday. William H. McCachren. the N.C. director of selective service, said "This compliance rate shows me that young men today love their country and are willing to accept the respon sibilities that living here entails. Over 11 million young men have registered so far and I am proud of__ those who are North Carolina citi zens." McCachren expressed confidence in the willingness of young men to register and indicated the impor tance of insuring that all are aware of their obligation. He praised the cooperation of schools, employers and the media in helping to inform them of their obligations. In Duplin County. 2,163 young men have registered as of Jan. 31st.
