PILOT SUBSCRIBER J

Some time ago Mrs. Agnes 1

lent of Southport, read in The
Pilot an account of benefit
parties given here for the
purpose of raising money with |
whicf .o purchase a light sig- jy
nal ystem for the Brunswick
county hospital.
Last week members of the
Hospital Auxiliary received a
beautiful red and taupe silk
quilt, made and donated by
Mrs. Anderson to be sold for
the benefit of this cause. The e
quilt now is on display in the e
window of the J. B. Ruark c
store. d
Mrs. Anderson, who is 88- a
years-of-age, now lives in c
Philadelphia; but she has |
never lost interest in South- s

Memory Of Febru
Ushered in by one of the |
prettiest days of the entire
year, March came in like a
lamb Sunday leaving local
citizens wondering if the month
will reverse the order of
things and go out like a lion.
The first day of February
was a fair sample of the bad
weather experienced throughout
the month. On that day
the thermometer dropped to
13 degrees, the lowest reading
of the winter. Maximum
temperature for the month
was recorded on the 16th
when the thermometer reached
the 66-degree mark.
