Edenton’s merchant prince, Joseph Hew«s, was one of the three North Carolina signs** of the Declaration of Independence and placed his ships at General Washing ton’s disposal. The men of Edenton dispatched to beleaguered BoartoP a shipload of com, flour and pork.

The home is being restored to fte orig inal beauty by the Woman’s Ohm, Jun ior Chamber of Commerce and the Business and Professional Woman’s Club. All visitors who come to Edenton for the Pilgrimage are invited to a tea at the Barker house. For the tea, the modem ladies of Edenton will hake hundreds of teacakes from Penelope Barker’s recipe. This will be the first year that the teacakes have been prepared for a public occasion since a tea was given some years ago to celebrate the opening of Edenton’s oldest building, the famous Cupola I House, as a public library and ara -1 seum. The Woman’s Club members, dem onstrating much of the same enter prising spirit shown by their predeces sors in 1774, have enlisted the whole hearted support of Edenton residents and civic organizations in staging the Pilgrimage. The modest admission tic ket price includes the services of a guide. Those who come by bus will find cars and drivers available to take ' them on the tour from the Pilgrimage headquarters at the Joseph Hewes Hotel, and there is no charge for this extra service. Two classes are to be given for guides who will be available to visit ors desiring them. Both classes will be held in the audio-visuol room at the high school under the direction of Mrs. J. M.
