Christ came not to condemn the world, but that we might triumph over sin, sorrow and death. For Thy matchless gift, we thank Thee, merciful Father. Mr. Faircloth, 50 Taken In Death Donald R.

Funeral services were held at Eden ton Baptist Church, where he was a member, at 3 P. M., Tuesday with Rev. R. N. Carroll officiating. Burial was in -Beaver Hill Cemetery.

He worked with Davis at Peoples Bank & Trust Company for many years. Davis has been characterized as one of Edenton’s most ardent boosters, work ing for community, church and civic pro grams. This is the second such award given. J. H. Conger, Sr., earlier received the award. In his acceptance remarks, Puryear plant manager of George C. Moore Com pany, cited the area’s industrial progress and the important role the chamber has played in it. He said an equal amount of effort should be expended toward oth er activities designed to provide a more diversified organization. ;,.- f T.* 4 *- 1, 5 ■\< < -1 '•s►-.» „ i*f’‘y&- i tv 4_.

Heard &Seen “By Buff" As of Wednesday of this week, Edenton has lost a couple permanently which is caused by Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Griffin moving to Fort Pierce, Fla. For several years they have spent the winter months in Florida but returned to Edenton for the summer. This time, however, they left, bag and baggage, to remain in Florida. Doc Griffin has practiced dentistry in Edenton for 42 years and his daddy, Dr. E. J. Grif fin, practiced 34 years before him, which is a long time for two fellows to be pulling and filling teeth. Doc has now retired and will, no doubt, spend a lot of time fishing at Fort Pierce where, he says, there’s the best fishing in the country. One of these times, maybe, I’m liable to see if Doc is right Which reminds me that Edenton is well represented 'by doctors in Florida, for besides Doc Griffin, Doc Bill Hart and Doc Louis Ferguson also now make their home in Florida. ■ o On Saturday morning a group of ener getic Cub Scouts are scheduled to be rambling around the downtown section selling peanuts. The boys are very anxious to raise a little money, so that they’ll be grateful to anybody who will buy some of their peanuts. Here’s one who likes summertime better than the winter weather. However, there’s one thing at least in favor of this time of the year. When a fellow shakes the salt cellar, salt will come out. The open season for herring breakfasts at the Methodist Church will begin next Sat urday morning when members of the Meth odist Men’s Club will dish out pickled her ring to all who turn out to eat. The break fast will be served from 7 to 9 o’clock, and there’s been quite a few people who have been waiting for this favorite dish. o Just about the major attraction in down town Edenton early this week was the de molition of the old Hobowsky home on West King Street. The property was pur chased by the Town of Edenton and will be transformed into a free parking lot which will accomodate about 40 automo biles. The Hobowsky family occupied the house for something like 45 years, but it is gone by now. Quite a few people watch ed the Waff Brothers tear down the house and, of course, there was a lot of remin iscing. o ■ Mrs. Herman Edwards had an enjoyable experience last week. She had as her guest her brother who she had not seen in 35 years. ‘There sure was some talking go ing on,” said Mrs. Edwards. Well, there’s some talking into the wee sma’ hours at our house when some of our relatives visit us whom we’ve seen much less than 35 years before. o Lorch Stallings had an odd experience with figures. In January, 1969, he purchas ed two automobile license plates which were numbered 2217 and 2218. Then re cently he got a new telephone number which is 2219. Maybe if he had kept track of the speckled perch he has caught, the figure might have been 2,220. o Well, the Edenton Aces have a perfect record thus far this season, but Friday night they’ll get a real test when they buck heads with Northeastern High School of Elizabeth City. Northeastern is by far a larger school than in Edenton, so that they should break the Aces’ winning streak. But then, of course, funny things happen in football. Anyway, the game will no doubt attract a record crowd due to the keen rivalry on the gridiron between Elizabeth City and Edenton. Then, too, both bands, together with a corps of cheerleaders, will be on hand to add color to the game. Better go a bit early to get a seat! o A lot of us fishermen throw away some of the smaller fish we catch. But not so with Horace Greea “If they’re big enough to bite my hook,” says Horace, “they’re big enough to eat.” |lublif |3aracic Continued From Pago 1 as director of the important Department of Conservation and Development. As an industrialist he can speak with auth ority about the attitude of established in dustry when a newcomer wants to graze the same pasture. While those who meander here have been accused of being clanish, satisfied with the status quo, etc., the record of accomplishment is evidence alone that such a brand is not justified. Hardly a week passes that some indus trial prospect is not entertained by the efficient Edenton Chamber of Com merce. And the doors to every existing industrialist is never found closed. They talk freely and honestly about what the community has to offer. Those who enjoy membership in our industrial family are not jealous of their labor force—they are darned well proud of it. They never miss an opportunity to expound on the trainability of those who enjoy living along the Public Pa rade. Mr. Sowers’ speech needed delivering. He did it in Sanford. It was of such importance that it should be delivered again and again. But Chowan County was hardly the proper place for one of those agains. Play Being Cast Edenton Little Theater, a bold group of amateur performers, tackle another first this fall when they stage a young people’s production. “The Emperor’s New Clothes” has been chosen for presentation at John A. Holmes High School Auditorium on No vember 20 and 22. Special dress re hearsals will be given for high school students. The Charlotte Chorpening play will feature a cast of students from grades seven Sfrough 12. Mrs. Jane Holmes, who has been cho sen to direct the play, said casting is now in progress. Students to partici pate are from Holmes, Walker and Cho wan schools. HANDICAPPED WEEK Continued From Pag* 1 satisfaction to get thtze people into the working force. Mayor George Alma Byrum joined Gov. Bob Scott in a proclamation point ing specifically to the disabled veterans returning from Vietnam. However, the proclamation urged all employers to give full consideration to all handicapped workers consistent with their capacities. “It has been demonstrated that the handicapped can be restored through vocational rehabilitation to productive and satisfying lives,” Blackley said. “They can be helped to become self supporting. They depend heavily, how ever, on the opportunity to work. LEARY HELD ~~ Continued From Pm* 1 Leary was arrested in a boat some 100 feet from the cou uiy dock at 1:30 A. M. Sunday. The hammer allegedly used in the assault has not been found. A screw driver was found on the bed but Miss Elliott said she does not remember be ing struck by it. Investigation showed the Elliott home was entered by cutting a screen on the back porch and breaking the glass in a storm window. During the hearing the defendant ap peared unconcerned. He dozed repeat edly and had to be awakened by his at torney, W. J. P. Earnhardt, Jr. The next session of Chowan County Superior Court is set for Nevember 24. ACES AT HOME Continued From Fag* 1 game is expected to be one of the top contests in Northeastern North Caro lina this season with preparations being made for a record crowd. The Aces, after winning three games, had to come from behind last week when the Fighting Scots posted a score early in the opening period. Edenton managed to push across three TD’s to go into the dressing room at halftime with a 21-7 lead—a score which stood the remainder of the game. Gigi Leary and Earl Chesson, believed to be the two fastest runners in the con ference, thrilled the audience with long scoring plays. Leary-had a magnificent night, scoring twice on runs of 28 and 71 yards. Ches son posted the other Edenton score on a 63 yard run. The Scots surprised the Aces with their attack that resulted in a score with less than four minutes gone in the game. The Aces, however, managed to recover and halt future threats. Linebacker Johnny Barrow, Larry Felton, Elliott Harrell and Bfll Lewis were big guns in the Edenton defense. Joe Bunch kicked one extra point for the Aces while a Chesson to Leary pen was good for the other two points. Snowden Apeals Court Conviction Sheriff Troy Toppin led a raid on a rural home Saturday night which result ed in two arrests for possession of un taxed liquor. Arrested were Lonnie Snowden, 55-year-old Negro, Route 3, Edenton, and Nell Snowden. Officers testified in Chowan County District Court Tuesday that they found two and one-third gallons of illicit booze on the premises. Snowden was convicted and his wife freed. Judge W. S.
