HOME-COMING AT CYPRESS
j CHAPEL
Revival Meeting 'l'o f ollow ? Rev.
A. A. Pippin To Preach in Af
ternoon.
On next Sunday, June 11, 1939
Home-Coming will be observed at
the Cypress Chapel Baptist Church
at Seven Paths. All present and
former members along with all
former pastors are requested' to
attend. Rev. A. A. Pippin, a for
mer pa9tor, will preach in the af
ternoon.
Cypress Chapel church was or
ganized in 1855 with three char
ter members living near Cypress
Creek, therefore the church was
called Cypress Chapel. The first
house of worship was located J
fbout four miles east of Bunn on
he road that leads from Ander-j
eon's bridge to Louisburg. Then |
later in building a new house the
present location at Seven Paths
was chosen because of its conven
ience. It was about 1895 that this
change took place. Funds were
hard to raise at this time and Mr.
W.,4. Moore mortgaged his home
to help complete this house of
worship. After his death in 1900
this debt was paid off by the
church.
In 1856 this church was receiv
ed into the Tar River Association
at Salem Church in Wilson Coun
ty. Since that time the association
has met twice with Cypress Chap
el 1867 and 1922. In the meeting
of 1867 Brother Geo. M. Duke
preached his first sermon before
the association. He preached from
Psalm 116:12 "What shall- I ren
der unto the Lord for all His ben
efits toward me?"
Several ministerial students
have gone out from Cypress Chap
el and are making a place of ser
vice for themselves. In the history j
of the church it has been served |
by 22 pastors. The present pastor. I
Rev. Erhest Y. Averett who has j
been pastor since November 1936:
is the 23 rd pastor.
This great church is well equip- j
ped to serve'the community with
its large auditorium and 15 Sun
day School rooms. The present
Sunday School Superintendent is
Mr. Ewell Moore, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hardy Moore, of Seven Paths, j
It is hoped that many will at- '
tend the Homecoming on next
Sunday.
Beginning. Monday night at
weight f 'clock and continuing
through the week, R^v. John Ed- J
t'
wards will conduct the annual
protracted meeting. There will be
beginning with Tuesday, after
noon and night services, at three
o'clock and at eight o'clock.
Brother John Edwards is one ot
our strong preachers and we hope
there will be large crowds to hear
him at each service. The public is
cordially invited to all of these
services. ? Cont.

FOOD SALES HERE
RETURN $34,164 IN
HIDDEN TAXES
Families In Franklin County
pay an estifated $34,164 In hid
den taxes annually through their
purchases o( food, a National Con
sumers Tax Commission survey
showed today.
"Nearly eight per cent of the
total food bill represents shifted
taxes buried in the price of every
purchase," the report stated.
"These unseen levies, for ex
ample, take 11 per cent of butter
costs, 6V4 per cent of bread costs,
10% per cent of sliced bacon and
14% per cent of the cost of cof
fee."
The report was made public
through Mra. William T. Hannah,
of Waynesvllle, state director, who
leads NCTC study groups.in about
110 North Carolina communities
In the educational crusade against
"unnecessary consumer-penalizing
taxes." The report added:
"Chief offenders, and thosa that
fall most heavily on lower Income
families, are hidden taxes. These
are levied originally against the
producer, manufacturer, shipper
and distributor. Unable to absorb
the load, each must pass on a
share of its taxes and the consum
er ultimately pays them, usually
without, knowing it."
The commission, la whose non
partisan crusade groups In 4,800
communities have launched tax
study programs, said the hidden
tax figure does not include the
many other hidden and direct
taxes families here have to pay.
The food tax estimate was com
puted from NCTC averages based
on last available U. S. Bureau of
the Census figures which placed
1935 food sales in the county at
$438,000. Government estimates
of total sales in the country last
year approximate the total in the
1935 study, the NCTC said.
