Demonstration Clubs
Picnic Best Ever Held
I Games, Dinner, and Ball
Game Enjoyed at
Eden House
Demonstration clubs of Chowan
county last Thursday enjoyed the
most successful picnic ever held, when
a large number of members and
friends gathered at Edenhouse Beach.
'Mrs. M. L. Hoffler, county recrea-
I tion leader, planned and directed
contests which proved very enjoyable.
Two potato races were held with
William Privott winning the first one
and Tom Davis the second. In the]
husband calling contest Mrs. Henry |
Goodwin was easily the winner, while j
for hog calling Wesley Chesson had |
no peer. Mrs. Paul Ober had little
trouble in winning out in the water
melon contest.
The feature of the afternoon was a
soft ball game with Mrs. Tommie!
Berryman’s team defeated Mrs. O. M. j
Blanchard’s aggregation. Both teams
were from the Gliden section.
The affair was enlivened by music
furnished by the Rocky Hock string
band, and was featured by a picnic
dinner during which everyone had
plenty of the best food available.

and who was ever its proponent. Mr.
Ehringhaus will deliver the speech
of the day which will be followed by
more music and an elaborate luncheon
for the invited guests.
In the early afternoon there will be
a water carnival on the shore front,
and a lively boat regatta and race be
tween small launches. An elaborate
fireworks display planned for the
evening has been abandoned as an
unnecessary expense, which means
that before dusk most of the specta
tors will be drifting off toward
home again, this , time once more
through Edenton where all of them,
or many, anyhow, if they wish, will
find entertainment provided in the
shape of a massive celebration ball
that night at the new Edenton
Armory.
All in ell the celebration is expect
ed to be thy crowning end of a great
engineering’ achievement that should
prove of lasting benefit to Edenton
and the surrounding sector. Os
course the day has been declared a
general holiday in the whole Albe
marle in order to give everyone, mer
chants and customers, an opportun
ity. to live up to the occasion.

was due to his broad vision and his
intelligent planning that funds were
made available for the freeing of all
toll bridges and the construction of
this great project across the Sound.
“Although we are proud of our
ancestral achievements, we are not
and must not be contented to rest
upon the laurel leaves of victory at
tained by our founding fathers, but
must likewise make history for our
descendants.
“In speaking of our founding fath
ers, however, we must not forget our
founding mothers, for they endured
all of the hardships endured by the
founding fathers and also endured the
founding fathers.”

Edenton Struck By
Electrical Storm
Colored Farmer Loses
Two Mules By Light
ning Bolt
Edenton was visited by a severe
electrical and wind storm Tuesday af
ternoon playing havoc with trees and
resulting in current being off about
an hour. Many trees and large limbs
were broken throughout the city and
the debris scattered about the streets,
1 causing the street department to be
’ pressed into service until 7 o’clock
clearing up the large trees. Practic
'! ally all day Wednesday was devoted
i to clearing up after the storm.
, Possibly the greatest loser by the
storm was Isham Lowther, colored
farmer living on the Poplar Neck
' road. Lowther’s bam was struck by
1 lightning, killing two mules and
( burning the bam to the ground.

Littleton Plant Dffers
Four Popular Drinks
Popularity Has Caused
Business to Spread All
Over 13 Eastern Caro
lina Counties
Four soft drinks which have ever
been popular as thirst quenchers in
all of Northeastern Carolina and
especially in this sector of the Albe
marle have been Orange Crush, Pep
si-Cola, NuGrape and 7-up, all bottled,
handled and served for delivery -by
the Orange Crush Bottling Company,
Inc., of Littleton, and with other sta
tions at Ahoskie and Elizabeth City.
Thirteen counties are covered at
least twice a week with deliveries by
the Littleton concern, and in larger
communities like Edenton deliveries
are made three times or more every
seven days so great is the demand for
! the four products. The 13 counties
are Vance, Warren, Halifax, North
ampton, Hertford, Bertie, Gates, Cho
wan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Cam
den, Currituck and Dare and the
popularity of the beverages in each
is attested by the volume of sales by
the Littkton firm.
Recently the Orange Crush Bottling
Company, Inc., has moved into a
brand new plant in Littleton. The
plant has all the modem conveniences
! for manufacture and bottling and is
I always a source of wonderment and
I admiration to the horde of visitors
who get to Littleton and visit it. All
bottling is done with the newest ma
chinery, and the health giving quali
ties of the bottled products is proven
by the fact that Littleton has one of
the best water supplies obtainable in
all North Carolina.
J. E. McPherson is president of the
Orange Crush Bottling Company, D.
W. McPherson is vice president and
treasurer, and W. C. Jonas is secre-
All three are men of excellent
experience.
