Chadbourn is especially notable for the number of sportsmen who are taking to the fishing, Bill Edmund, forest fire warden for Columbus, and John Henry Land being among the greatest devotees. Edmunds and several other Chadbourn men have already made three or four trips to the gulf this year and are planning further expeditions. So far, most of their trips have taken place just when the weather got bad. While their catches have not been outstanding, Bill remarked on his last trip that they expected to get the breaks next time and catch something that would give Chadbourn the headlines in the papers.

Across the street at Hub' bard's garage, the gas tank was ' broken and a quantity of gaso1 line was stolen. 1 The striking thing about this robbery is that last night 3 (Wednesday) three places in Bolton in Columbus county * were robbed in much the same manner, apparently by the 1 same persons who appear to 1 be successful amateur crooks, l Lightning Hits Bennett Honu e j The family of Clerk of Cour .

High spot in the day's activities so far as the storm watchers were concerned was shortly afternoon when the Merchants and Miners passenger liner Alleghaney, Captain Nelson in command, came in and anchored in the Southport harbor to escape the storm. Aboard the liner were 180 passengers who breathed much easier when this haven of refuge was reached. On the passenger list were several prominent persons, including Pinky Wilkinson, secretary to the Fire-Board at Baltimore. Md. The ship was piloted in by ? Captain I. B. Bussells of the Cape Fear Pilots Association and t left early Monday morning after - fear of the storm had subsided. Getting back to the Southport l angle on the storm, there was a s strong northeast blow Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night, I but at' no time was there any ,1 real cause for uneasiness. Storm - signals were displayed and all - small craft were carried up the c waterway for shelter.

Mr. Middleton and his associates planned such a pier last j ' winter. The work, however, was delayed awaiting assurance that the State Highway Commission would pave the twomile gap of sand-clay road leading up to the beach. Assurance of such construction at an early date has recently I i been given. The four or five hundred property owners at the beach are very much pleased over prospects of hard surfaced roads ' all the way and the assurance of greatly increased pleasure and sport facilities at the | beach. Folks who have watched the first year's developments at the beach are confident that the beginning of next summer will see more ths,n a hundred substantial homes there. -4v 1 i The Pilot Covers Brunswick County $1.50 PER YEAH J County Health J Nurse Advises jj County People Says That County Residents Should Get In Touch With Their Family Physician To Secure Necessary Preventative Measures SPECIAL CARE OF PRE SCHOOL KIDS Mrs. Smith Calls Attention To Weekly Tonsil Clinic At Southport Hospital Since Mrs. Lou H.
