BIBLE THOUGHT TRIUMPH THROUGH PATIENCE: In your pati ence possess ye your souls. —Luke 21:19. Right Man For The Job J. H. McMullan is now attending the North Carolina General Assembly, representing Chowan County in the House of Representatives. It is encouraging to note that one of his principal interests in the session will be to have something done in way of improving the Chowan River bridge. Mr. McMullan took an active part in hav ing the span built, which more or less eliminated a situ ation which made northeastern North Carolina more a part of Virginia than North Carolina, so far as traveling is concerned —the lost colonies, if you please. Mr. McMullan, incidentally, introduced the bill in the State Senate in 1925 which culminated in bridging the waters of Chowan River. Traffic has long since out grown the original structure, in thdt it is too narrow and inadequate for the many automobiles and trucks which travel over U. S. 17. At times it has been in a deplor able state of repair, making traveling unpleasant if not dangerous. It was not so very long ago that the State spent a considerable amount of money to resurface a large portion of the bridge, which is, of course, only tem porary, and the same sort of repairs will be continually necessary. Passing on the bridge is especially dangerous, in that very little space remains between the sides of the bridge and between cars and trucks when passing.

By “Buw* 1 Just about the most excited person in Edenton last Friday night no doubt was Mrs. Bill Goodwin. She was having a time with a group of youngsters at a party and in the midst of the excitement the telephone rang in connection with the “Dinner Winner” program broad cast over WRVA. Had Mrs. Goodwin answered the phone by naming some kind of food, she would have received S2O worth of food to provide a complete dinner for six (it must be a mighty good dinner), but she said “Hello” instead and missed the free grub. Anyway, she should have some consolation in the fact that she didn’t lose out in one of those programs which gives away a small fortune. o Os course, we’ve had a few very cold days, but on the whole there is little reason to complain about the weather in this neck of the Woods, except for too much rain. Many flowers have been in bloom and on Wednes day morning Mrs. Braxton Gay brought me a ripe tomato she picked in her garden. What I’m trying to figure out is if it is an early or late tomato. o It was a beautiful sight on Broad Street Wednesday morning as the high school band paraded, all diked out in new uniforms. The outfit is very attractive and besides looking a lot better, even the music sounded different. Now the band is ready to go places. Let’s go! o No man hath greater love .... or something like that appears in Holy Writ, which can be applied to Frank Hughes, with the love being directed at his gun. On Christmas day Frank and a friend were hunting having something done about the bridge, The Herald be lieves it is Mr. McMullan. He is no stranger in the General Assembly and knows his way around in order to get things done. He is well known and commands the respect of many in authority, so that his efforts should have a great deal of weight. The bridge is too narrow and should be made wider, the road bed should be concrete, thus eliminating a con tinuous repair bill due to replacing timber, both of which will provide a bridge in keeping with the amount of traffic traveling over it. Mr. McMullan is also interested in any local legisla tion which may develop, except he is not interested in taking part in any controversial matters. He will, he said before leaving for Raleigh, be ready and willing to listen to any requests coming from his constituents in Chowan County. sss=ssssessassc=ssam ducks in Benndtt’a Mill Pond. Ho shot one and when the duck fell, Frank laid his gun across the boat, but in paddling the boat out from be hind some reeds it was knocked over board. Snow was falling, and if you remember Christmas day lacked a dickens of a lot being spring-like weather. Anyhow, Frank located the gun with an oar, then took off every stitch of clothing, jumped over in about five feet of water and with his feet he managed to bring the gun from the bottom of the pond. If that isn’t having love for a gun, I’ll hush my mouf. o In this issue mention is made about a few Edenton people attending the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans on New Year’s day. I asked one of ’em if they saw any other Edenton people there and they said they had not. Don’t reckon any others were there, or else they would have run across each other, considering that there were “only” about 83,000 football fans on hand. o Peter Carlton was among a group of Edenton Masons who attended a meeting in Hertford Tuesday night. After the meeting, Brunswick stew was brought into the lodge room in an old-fashioned iron pot. Peter kept hanging around close to the pot and, of course, I wasn’t far away. “What are you doing so close to the Bruns wick stew?” asked Charlie Griffin as he edged in sort of close himself. “Well,” I replied, “I’m afraid Pete January DAVIS CURVE SAFETY Tkt Premium Safety Tire ...

Char lip Wood said it’s hard for some fellows to pronounce the word, much less spell it Will Harrell said it didn't bother him very much when writing “Unanimity,” for he does just about like he does when writing the name “Emminizer” just makrf a string of M’s and let it go at that.
