Big Festival Parade Set The Fourth Annual Peanut Festival Parade, to be held Oc tober 6, promises to the largest parade ever hosted by Edenton.

He added that for the past two years he has been in attendance at most council meetings and is familiar with the process. Dr. Homthal, who ran un successfully for mayor two years ago, has not made known his in tentions. Mayor Roy L. Harrell has not publicly stated whether or not he will seek another two-year term. There is little doubt, however, among those who are close to politics that he will be a candidate for re-election. Councilman Jesse L. Harrell, an at-large member, has indicated that he will retire from the council. He is former chairman of the defunct Board of Public Works. Joe Lee, chairman of the Edenton Planning Board and an unsuccessful candidate for the council earlier, is being “talked” as a candidate for the at-large seat. It is possible that this could develop into a three-man race. The other incumbent coun cilman, W. H. Hollo well, Jr., of the First Ward, has* not announced, but is expected to seek-re-election. Treasurer A. B. Harless, Jr., told The Chowan Herald this week that he would not be a candidate for re-election. be a barbecue at the Boy Scout Hut on North Broad Street.
