RE NEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ! I
Approves Ma
pleville End
The Board of County Commis
sioners at a special meeting held
on Friday afternoon by a roil call
vote approved the Maplevllle end
of the road from Duke Memorial
Church. The vote stood Barthol-J
omew, Winston and Stalling? vot
ing aye, and Boone and Terrell
voting no.
Before the vote was taken High
way Commissioner T. Boddie
Ward explained why he was ask
ing that this end of the road be
approved. In this explanation
was that he could not build the
road from Peachtree to Edward
Best as the project would not de
velop enough man hours to pro
duce sufficient funds to be added
to what the Commission had to do
the work, therefore It was either
to adopt the Maplevllle end or he
would be forced to stop the work
and transfer what funds he had to
some other project in the district.
Chairman Boone oontended that
the Edward Bept end -should be
constructed first in keeping with
a former proposal from Mr. Ward.
Commissioner Ward explained
that the former proposal referred
to was only a suggestion made
without a survey or figures to
justify it and was not Intended to
be definite. Quite a number of
citizens were present from the sec
tions involved and from Louis
burg.
Commissioner Ward assured the
Commissioners and citizens pres
ent that so long as he was High
way Commissioner Franklin Coun
ty* would surely get every cent of
lnghway funds it was entitled to i
and pointed out that in addition j
to the construction of highway 59 |
and the road from Peachtree to
Mapleville he was having the War
renton highway beautified, and
was arranging to widen Highway
64 from Nashville to Kaleigh, and
that the next projects for Frank
lin County would be the comple
tion of highway 39 by Pilot to the
Selma end. the completion of high
way 561 from Centrevilie to Es
sex, and the hardsurfacing of
route 500 from Youngsvitle to
route 98. These he hoped to get
within the next year or so.
LOUISBURG BAPTIST
CHURCH
The pastor, Dr. A. Paul Bagby (
spoke on "Three Things We Need
to Know" in-the morning worship.
As a text he used the prayer of '
Paul: "That ye ifiay know what is
ihe hope of his calling and what
the riches of the glory of his in- j
heritance in the saints, and what
is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe."
This is knowledge that is God
given and does not come as much
through human reason as through
revelation. The first thing we
need to know Is the "hope of his
calling." A Christian is the great
est thing in all the world. The
second thing, "is the glory of his
inheritance in the saints." There
was one great dream In the heart
ot God, that of making Christians.
There is great wealth wrapped up
in man. The third thing, "the ex
ceeding greatness of his power to
us-ward who believe." It is only
when God and man are linked to
gether that we have omnipotence.
The pastor names three words be
ginning with that are always link
ed with power, namely; person,
promise and price.
At the morning worship at 11
o'clock the pastor will speak on
"False and True Measures." At
the evening worship at 8 o'clock
he will speak on "What the World
Thinks of a Christian."
Sunday School at 9:45 A.. M.

Trailer Destroyed
By Fire
Louisburg Fire Department
Does Excellent Piece of,
Work in Extinguishing'
Fire Before Spreading to
Nearby Buildings
The quiet of the first Wednes
day closing was disturbed by a fire
alarm that called attention to a
very ugly looking volume of black
smoke rising from the vicinity of
Kenmore Avenue about 3 o'clock.
It was soon learned that the ga
rage to the rear of E. H. McFar
land's residence and his house
trailer were afire and threatening
several residences in the imme^
diate section. The Louisburg Fire
Department in charge of Chief F.
M. Fuller and Chief C. E. Pace
were promptly on the scene and
did a splendid piece of fire fighting
and by it soon got control of the
fire and extinguished the blaze be
fore it spread to other buildings,
but not until after it had destroy
ed the house trailer belonging to
Mr. E. H. McFarland valued at
about $500 and did damage to the
garage of about $200 and the res
idence of Edward Collier of about
$75. We were unable to ascer
tain it there was any insurance or
if there was other property in the
garage that was lost.
The heavy smoke brought out
an extra large crowd to witness
the fine work of the Louisburg
Fire Department.
