Along The Way it L ______ By Emily Klllefte r Veterans have been the backbone ' ot America and it Is hard to imagine United States citizens not fighting on the same side ? but as we all know that is what happened more than 100 years ago in the Civil War. Veterans of the Civil War have long been deceased and today there are very few World War I veterans Olive. In the spirit in which men from the South fought in the Civil War, the veterans continued the pride in their life and land after the war. h Duplin Civil War veterans held an annual reunion in Kenansville for their families after the fighting four years ended in 1865. The tradition started in 1865 and continued in 1934 when only four Civil War veterans remained alive ffom Duplin. The following is a reprint of the August 2, 1934 issue of the DUPLIN HERALD which con fined the story of the reunion. . i ? ? Annual Reunion and Homecoming k Celebration Today-August 2,1934 'Throngs of present and former Duplin citizens gathered in Kenans ville today for the annual reunion of the William J. Houston Camp of the Confederate Veterans and the homecoming day. Started in 1865, the celebration has been annually observed on the first Thursday in August. Principal among the features of the day, which included string music, picnic dinner and general renewing of acquaintances, was the memorial address delivered by Leo Carr, native son of Duplin. Preceding the speaking, a string band made up of musicians from Duplin, Pender and Sampson, led by J.L. Williams of Kenansville, fur nished a program of music consisting of old-time tunes and a few popular selections. They played in the open air on a blocked-off square in front of the courthouse. At noon the formal exercises of the day were begun. The Hon. L.A. Beasley presided as chairman. He presented the Rev. Frank L. Good man, Presbyterian pastor of Kenans ville for the invocations. Following this the string band favored the audience with the rendition of "Dixie" and other appropriate num bers. Hon. R.V. Wells, clerk of Superior Court, read the minutes of the 1933 celebration and also called the roll of Confederate Veterans of Duplin Counts, of which there are only four. Two of these, L.H. Pridgen, com mander of the William J. Houston Camp U.C.V., No. 1490, and W.J. Merritt, were present. The other two veterans not present were George W. Brown and A.R. Hicks, both of whom were ill. The widows present were: Mrs. Gwendolyn Swaney, widow of Alfred Swaney; Mrs. Lettie E. Rich, widow of Pinlmey Rich; Mrs. Sarah C. Wells, widow of D.D. Wells; Mrs. Martha Bishop, widow of F.T. Bishop; Mrs. Margaret Bradshaw, widow of Jacob Bradshaw; Mrs. M.V. Browning, widow of Gaston Browning. Mr. Beasley took occasion to "rap" the tendency toward pacifism now rampant in this country and urged the people to become aroused ana demand an adequate armed force for the protection of America. Judge A.J. Blanton of the General County Court made an address and presented the speaker of the occa sion. Judge Blanton declared the purpose of the annual celebration is to preserve the ideals of better citizenship. Mr. Carr, a native of Rockfish township, Duplin County, had a large delegation of former neighbors and fellow-citizens in his audience and he expressed delight at having the opportunity to return to his county on the occasion of this homecoming day. He is solicitor of the 10th judicial district at this time and resides in Burlington. He declared Duplin has always done well by its veterans and had taken an active interest in them, not only was it a privilege to honor the veterans of the Confederacy, but the nation had honored another native son, Henry L. Stevens, Jr., in selecting him as the leader of the World War veterans. The benefits of the reunion he enumerated as: an opportunity to "take time to be friendly;" an occasion to pay tribute to the Con federate veterans; and a time for renewing our patriotism. "The Civil War," said Mr. Carr, "revealed the kind of men and women of the South, showed the morale and stamina of its people and displayed their sportsmanship after defeat. It made it possible to mold a union on this continent." He plead for a development of a peace-time patriotism which will turn thinking men and women to stand by the nation in times of economic crisis, such as is expe rienced now. The true patriot, he said, is one who stands and serves when there is no drum beating or martial music in the air, but who is ever ready to serve under all conditions. Attorney Fitzhugh E. Wallace, of Kinston, another son of Duplin, was present for a few words. Upon adjournment, the speaker, veterans. Confederate veterans' widows, and a few other invited guests were served a luncheon in the Women's Club building. Others retired to "the Spring" for a picnic lunch. The afternoon was spent in ex changing of reminiscenses and fel lowship. Several hundred people were present.

KuuxvilU | 298-1445 Owners Must File Information Reports With IRS Filing information returns with the IRS is a requirement that may be overlooked by taxpayers who own and operate a business. For example, you must file Form 1099-MISC returns if you have a business, including farming, that pays $600 or more for items such as rent, machine hire, or contract labor fees. Businesses are also required to file Form W-2 returns if they pay any employee wages. And, if a business receives $600 or more of mortgage interest, that interest must be reported on Form 1098. Larry King, H&R Block district manager, explained, "Most people are primarily concerned with their income tax returns. Small business people, especially those who are just getting started, often don't realize that the IRS expects to receive various information returns. Penalties for late filing can be stiff." The filing dates for information returns are different from the dead line for filing income tax returns. For example, Forms 1099, W-2 and 1098 must be filed with the IRS on or before Feb. 28. Those who received payments from the business (or paid mortgage interest) should be given copies of these returns on or before Jan. 31. Federal unemployment tax information returns are due on or before Jan. 31 or Feb. 20 is the tax has been deposited in full and on time. Payroll tax reports are due quarterly as are state unemployment tax returns. King added, "It is important to note that these due dates apply regardless of the due date of the income tax return. Make sure you understand the rules governing in formation returns so that you won't be facing a penalty."

The camp was open Dec. 14-15 and the soldiers participated in open house at Liberty Hall. Visitors are pictured above at the soldiers' camp. * Extension Home Economics News Get Rkl of Fabric W rbikles If you're not caretul, you can heat-set wrinkles in your synthetic fabrics. This can happen during the washer's spin cycle if the wash water is too hot. But don't get discouraged too soon. Sometimes it is possible to get those wrinkles out. Wet the garments and rinse them in water with one tablespoon of fabric softener. Tumble dry with other clean clothes for at least 10 minutes, but never more than 20. Overdrying wastes energy and can be hard on the fabric. As soon as clothes are dry, hang them up. If the wrinkles still remain, you can try a warm or hot water wash, but take the clothes out before the spin cycle. Then tumble dry again. If neither of these methods work, try pressing the clothes, but be careful. The iron must be set at the appropriate setting. If it's too hot, it will stick and melt the fabric, rxiwr* t A -? ri; ; 7 And there's just no way to fix a melted synthetic fabric. About the only option is to sew an applique patch over the melted area. Best Dry Cleaning Results Having your clothes dry cleaned by a professional may be well worth the money on occasion. This service is helpful when you want a profes sionally pressed look, have limited time for clothing care, or when a stain is in a garment that can't be washed. Keep in mind that you get best results by taking clothes to the cleaners promptly when they become soiled or stained. Many stains are more difficult and sometimes impos sible to remove if they've had a chance to age. Tell the cleaner the fiber content of the garment and what the stain is, if you know. But don't expect miracles. Smoke damage, for example, may hide burn holes that will appear after cleaning takes the soot away. In this case, the cleaner is not at fault. so, when you need staines re moved. want a professionally pressed look, or don't want to bother with cleaning clothes yourself, try the services of a professional dry cleaner. ?Divorce?
