The paper follows: "Since the 4 hundredth birthday of our English Bible is being commemorated this year from October to December, it was thought appropriate by the lit- j i erary committee that we give one j meeting this year to this subject. J There appeared in England in I 1535, just four hundred years; ago while William Tyndale wasI in prison, the first complete prin! ted English Bible. Before this time, of course, there had been; portions of it translated by the Monks into Latin. We owe them! a debt of gratitude. Had it not been for the Monks, the New ' I Testament might have been lost forever. Two Monks were especially no- < ted for their translations, Cadeamon and Bede. King Alfred translated the Ten Commandments land part of Exodus. In 1320 an I Oxford professor, John Wyclif, J was born, he translated the Bible | in the English of that day, (Cha! ?\ mViinb la irorrr : iigci a raiigiiou/ niuwi M ? W j \ hard to read.

All The Time $1.50 PER YEAR Storm Warning Op For 48-Hours During Week-End White Flag Above Red During Day And White Light Above Red At Night Told Of Threatening Northwest Storm - * SOME UNEASINESS EXPERIENCED HERE i Storm Struck With Full Force At Miami Monday Afternoon But Turned Back To Sea From That Point Storm warnings were raised Friday afternoon on the signal tower overlooking the Southport harbor and remained up until Sunday afternoon when advices from the United States Weather Bureau indicated that there was no further danger along this section of the Atlantic Coast. During the daylight hours the flags flown from the signal tower were white above red?warning of $ possible storm from the northwest. At night the signals were a white light above red. The threatened disturbance struck with all its fury Monday afternoon at Miami, Florida. Four were reported dead, several were missing and property damage probably will amount to more than a million dollars. The storm pursued a freakish course. It moved inward in the region of Fort Lauderdale and Miami, then proceeded almost directly across the Gulf of Mexico, in the region between Everglades and Cape Sable. Rough weather outside handicapped fishing and shrimping vessels during the week-end and .?o lar thiw week. Most of them remained at the dock. An unusually large number of yachts also remained here in the safety of the Southport harbor. Oyster Project Making Progress Captain Leonard Nelson, In Charge Of This Work In North Carolina, Visitor In SouthDort Tuesdav Of This Week Captain Leonard Nelson, who is in charge of the oyster planting projects for North Carolina, was a Southport visitor Tuesday and, together with Pete Reynolds and Henry Williams, supervisor of this work in Brunswick county, inspected the work that is being carried on in this section. Ninety-four Brunswick county men are now engaged in planting oysters with the object of improving the size and flavor of the specimens to be found in this section. Captain Nelson appeared to be well pleased with the progress being made. Mr. Williams said that he discussed with Captain Nelson the matter of having the territory lying west of the Shallotte river made available for this work. These waters have been condemned but Captain Nelson told local officials that he was going to seek to have the ban removed. Tide Table f ollowing is me tioe taoie for Southport during tlie next week.
