At the same ‘ time they bought 400 acres of t farm land, which had probably i been part of “Belvidere” farm j land originally. I In addition to extensively ro istering the house, the Andersons ! planted hundreds of trees and . shrubs and several thousand jon quil and narcissus bulbs. The Andersons sold “Belvi dere” and 22 acres in 1948 to Lt. Cmdr. Charles Hentz of Norfolk, Va., who held it until 1955, when I he sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Chenoweth of Santa Ana, Calif., | the present owners. | The Chenoweths have restored | the house to excellent condition | and have furnished it with pe i riod furniture. ! J “Belvidere” is one of the fin- 1 jest 18th century houses in the! j area and is similar to the Sur , render House at Yorktown, Va. The nine room house exterior jis painted white and the inter -1 ior is a Williamsburg pink and j blue. The hallway is panelled and has a curved stairway. An unusual feature of the house is a room off the kitchen, known as a slave room, where 1 the slaves awaited their duties. )The Chenoweths now use it as a dining room. Mrs. Chenoweth is the sister of Mrs. Inglis Fletcher, author of a series of historical novels I of the colonial period in North Carolina. Invitations for the unveiling have been issued by the Sir Richard Grenville Chapter of the Colonial Dames of the XVII Century and the Perquimans County Historical Society. April 30 Deadline For Wool Payment Farmers are cautioned that April 30, 1960, is the final date by which they may file appli cation for incentive payment for wool marketed in the 1959 mar keting year. The 1950 wool marketing year ran from April j 1, 1959 through March 31, 1960. For the last few years the in- I eentive price under the wool ! program has been set at 62 cents I per pound for shorn wool. The ! program provides that farmers I market their wool through the normal channels obtaining the (best possible price for their production. At the end of the marketing year, the Department of Agriculture determines the average national price obtained by all wool growers for their wool. The percentage required to bring this national price up to the 62 cent Incentive level is determined and all farmers who market wool receive this percentage increase in their in come from wool sc.’d Every year this program has been in effect it has served its purpose by increasing the na tional production of wool. Should the national average price received by wool producers throughout the nation during 1960 reach the 62c level then payments will no longer be ne cessary. Laughter should dimple the cheek and not furrow the brow with ruggedness. —GVen Feltham. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY. APRIL 81. 1960.
