Hail The Pilgrimage
This spring the Biennial Pilgrimage of Co
lonial Edenton and Countryside will be held
April 9, 10 and 11.
Edenton, which was known as “ye towne
on Queen Anne’s Creek”, was one of the
first towns settled and served as capital of
the colony for about 40 years.
It is preservation, rather than restoration,
that makes the Edenton pilgrimage one of
the most outstanding of the home tours. Its
town and country houses are nationally known
for their authenticity and fine state of preser
vation with many dating prior to the Revo
lution. *;
The private homes, some still owned by
descendants, are open to the public only dur
ing the tour.
Visitors are invited to return to Edenton’s
illustrious past by visiting the Littlejohn
House, ca. 1780’s, opening for the first time
Also on the tour are Sycamore, the oldest
house in North Carolina built in the 1660’5;
the James Iredell House, 1759, home of the
first Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court; the Iredell Jr. House, ca
1780, home of Iredell’s son, who later became
governor; the Charlton House, ca. 1760, a
fine example of three bay gambrel colonial
roof; the Homestead, a pre-Revolutionary
house significantly West Indian in architec
ture; the Paxtdn House, a three story house
built in 1790’s by a local merchant, and the
gardens at Pembroke Hall.
Other major attractions are the Cupola
House, ca. 1725, noted for its Jacobean archi
tecture, now being restored by the Edentor
Historical Commission; the Penelope Barker
House, ca. 1782, the home of Mrs. Barker
who, according to tradition, presided at the
famed Edenton Tea Party in 1774; St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church, 1736, the second oldes*
church in the state; the Chowan Courthouse
1767, considered the finest Georgian Court
house in the South, as well as many other
siths of historic and architectural interest.
The Edenton Woman’s Club, sponsors of
the tour, have designated the first day
\ “Heritage Day”. ‘‘Other events will include a
tea, a Revolutionary war drama, craft dem
onstrations, and waterfront tours by boat.
Mrs. R. J. Boyce, chairman of the tour
said, all proceeds from the tour will be used
for restoring and preserving local landmarks
The Pilgrimage is about the biggest thing
to happen in Edenton and the entire Albe
marle area. A lot of work goes into such e
project and the members of the Edenton Wo
man’s Club deserve the full cooperation of
the community, sx

“By Buff ’ j
...zmsff.
Close to 200 people attended the Jaycee
Bosses’ and Ladies’ Night banquet held at
the Masonic Temple Thursday night, when
Pete Dail was presented the Distinguished
Service Award. It is quite a job to feed that
many people, but the Eastern Star ladies put
in motion a sort of assembly line system, so
that the plates and dessert were served in
record tittle. However, Mrs. R. E. Leary,
who was delegated to put peas on the plates,
said she never saw such rollingest peas in
her life. Well, maybe that was why some
Deas were left on plates as a crew of Eastern
Star members gathered up the small mountain
of dishes after the banquet. And that some
men are very much accustomed to housework
is evident by the activities in the kitchen on
the part of Will Harrell. Jimmy Oglesby, Roy
Leary, Philip Robey, Dick Tarkington, D. M.
Reaves and J. C. Parks. The dining room
and kitchen were very busy places for about
two hours after the banquet attenders left
for home.
o
Being among those who helped to gather
up dishes after the banquet, here’s one who
wonders why some smokers prefer to dump
their ashes on a saucer or even a plate in
stead of an ash tray. It’s a nasty mess and
one of the things that gets on the nerves of
‘he ladies.
o
Then, too, some men know something about
cooking. For instance. Bill Rosevear was
telling me that in making bean soup, it will
be a lot better if the beans are pressed through
a colander before finishing the soup. Yeah,
he has another reason, too.
o
Those who attended the Jaycee banquet
enjoyed the entertainment provided by Mr.
9nd Mrs. Alton Elmore, but they missed a
little after they left. It was while Jimmy
Oglesby was helping to clear up the dishes
‘hat he gave a mighty good impression of a
Norfolk Southern train starting and getting
up steam with a long string of cars. It sound
ed just like a train and Jimmy ought to know,
for he worked a long time for Norfolk
Southern.
o
A very welcome visitor in The Herald of
‘‘ice for a short time Thursday afternoon was
~ Shackell. Many Edentonians will
’-emember him as being connected with his
father, the late R. G. Shackell, in publishing
‘he old Edenton Daily News. Mr. Shackell
now lives in Charlotte but does extensive
‘raveling in connection with his work. His
notheV, many will be interested to learn, lives
vith him and, despite her years, is still very
ictive. It was a rare treat for Aubrey to
<top in and chat for a few minutes about
‘he days of the old Daily News.
o
It’s a big heart workers for the annual
Heart Fund drive have placed at the foot of
Broad Street. And they’re hoping everybody
will have a big heart in making their contri
butions for this most worthy cause.
o
With so many “weeks” being observed.
Clyde Slade, one of The Herald’s employees,
came up with another suggested one due to
the very cold snap we’ve been having. He
suggested that there should be a “National
Be Kind To Cold People Week”. Wilborne
Harrell seconded the motion.
o
Another good suggestion was made by Em
mett Wiggins. One of the cold mornings this
week he noticed a tourist taking a picture of
‘he tea pot on the Court House Green. He
‘old the lady that it would be very nice if
she could turn a spigot on the tea pot and
get a nice hot cup of tea. “It certainly
would,” the lady replied. Emmett advanced
the idea that it would be a wonderful piece of
nublicity to be able to draw from the tea pot
a cup of hot tea during the winter months
or a glass of iced tea when the weather is
hot. Well, what’s wrong with that idea?
o
Another interesting visiter in The Herald
office this week was Joe Lee. Joe used to
sell papers for The Herald and do odd jobs
around the shop. He’s in the U. S. Army
now and stationed in Germany. He’s on a
furlough and said he was mighty glad to get
back where he can hear English spoken.
Anyway, Joe is a fine specimen of young
manhood, which he attributes to three square
meals a day. - .
o
The Herald has lost a neighbor this week.
Mrs. J. C. Manning, who has worked for
quite a while for Harrell Gas & Coal Company
in a part of The Herald building, has moved
up the street in Ralph Parrish’s store. An
other change was made when Charles Harrell
bought out Mr, Parrish, so that Mrs. Manning
is now located in the new location. She will
encounter one handicap for she'll have to
make her own coffee or else walk a little
farther to get a cup of coffee made by The

*o
Mrs. Lois Ashley, who lives
at Virginia Beach, sent in her
renewal to The Herald and
had this little note enclosed:
“Dear Buff—Keep sending the
good ole Herald so we can
keep in the know with our
friends and relatives in Cho
wan County. Do tell Mrs.
Buff that we enjoy her column
very much and her recipes arc
just great. By the way, wc
like the ‘new look’ of The
Herald.”
o
In the mail this week was
quite a lengthy letter from
Lt. Col. and Mrs. J. P. Aynes,
now living at Alexandria, Va.
Mrs. Aynes said they often
‘.hink of Edenton with fond
memories. The Aynes family
lived in Edenton about 10
years ago and Mrs. Aynes says
it does not seem possible that
it could be that long ago and
that she misses knowing what
is going on here. “We have
had three transfers since
Edenton and find it too diffi
cult to keep up with every
place we have been, much as
we'd like to,” she says. She
mentioned some of the former
Marine families who lived in
Edenton and will be remem
bered by some of us. They
included Col. M. K. Peyton,
who has retired. The Waldo
Becks, who lived at the Fish
Hatchery, are living at Fred
ericksburg, Va. Major Fred
Haines has retired and he is
now working with program
ing and computers in Wash
ington, D. C. Col. William
Case is stationed at Alexan
dria. A son, born in Indi
ana after leaving Edenton,
was named for John Mar
shall by hi? brother, for his
“best friend in Edenton.” Mrs.
Aynes said they didn’t get up
to Middletown, Del., for any
football games last season and
see Mr. and Mrs. / Bill Bill
ings, but expect to see them
soon. It was nice to hear
from Mrs. Aynes, who wrote
a column for The- Herald
while living in Edenton,
Also Mrs. Herman White, Sr.,
Mrs. C. L. Quinn, Mrs. F. A.
Jordan, Mrs. Sherlon Layton,
