‘, 1935, which had been vacant for
| more than a year and was in
' need of repairs. 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.
