Roving Reporter ? Omtinuro Ton. <*age 11 good farmers and is much visited. Ttural Policeman W. D. Evans re cently made a voluntary check on traffic and it appears that about 300 cars use it daily. Mrs. Cornelieus Thomas has sent us word by her handy man that we are invited to come around to the Clarendon Planta tion on the River Road to see her Japanese Cherry trees, camel lias and azaleas, to say nothing of other flowers now in bloom. .She will also be pleased to have the srhool children visit the Plan- ' tation. No admission is charged. After working for 20 years on the Henry Bacon and other dred- j ges, being Captain much of the time, Captain J. M. Parker is, turning out to be a first rate j storekeeper at Supply. Mrs. Par- j ker may have something to do j with his success in this work. In- ; cidently, their pretty daughter, j Miss Clara Parker, of the James Walker Nurses School, spent the week* end with them to see how they were getting along. Mrs. E. Williamson, of the 1 Community Grocery at Leland, complained last week that we had the names of everybody in The Pilot, except hers. We had to explain that we had forgotten her initials and could not find it on our subscription list. It is there now and we are prepared for anything. George W. Dance, Jr., is out of the Navy with an honorable discharge after three years in the service. His father, who lives at Supply, had a birthday or some thing to celebrate at about the time he got out. Clarence Montgomery (wt thought his first name was Percy) definitely told us Friday that the name of the Brunswick Bridge community was Clearmont. They must have named it for the birthplace of Will Rogers. Carl West, who once had dreams of it being called West Wilming ton, did not raise any objection to Clearmont. Jimmie Pemberton of the said Clearmont, told us that for its size he had the big gest filling station business in Brunswick. If you laid two men crosswise, like the X that marks the spot, you would get a good idea of the size of his station, but he has to keep open day and night. The pig caller Dawson Jones, of Woodburn, forced us off the road one day this week. He want ed to inquire about the fishing, which inquiry lowered his ability as a fisherman considerably in our opinion. Who would think about fishing with the sort of weather that prevailed last week ? We were cold, wet and muddy most of the week. D. L. Gore was in Shallotte Saturday. After Bascom Pierce had told him of the 250-pounds Df freshwater catfish he had sold in Wilmington the day before, he ivent around and borrowed $1.50 from A. B. Willis, before coming to say good morning to us. John Bozeman had $1.50 of his own and was inspired to produce it by Everett Holden having told him something about his chitterlings. Delmas Hewett was telling us several nice morsels of scandal [ while we were at Shallotte thii$ week. Even when he has a cold in his head it is amazing how; much of matters of this sort ai perfectly innocent and unsophisti*. ( cated newspaper man can pick j up in his wanderings. Passing us on the road while we were walking from one place to another place, a short distance i away, Harry E. Robinson, of Sup- j ply, turned about, gave chase and forced us off the road to make us write him a subscription receipt I . ? ? . Same evening Miss Dora | Walton told us to go around to the AAA office, that Jimmie Hawes wanted to see us. When we got there we found that all j that was wanted of us was to i j write a receipt for Kermit Causey, j | of Shallotte. A year or so ago "Ikey" Rey- 1 nolds of Shallotte told us that R. ! A. White of Ash was working hard all day long and staying up ; half the night going to see his j lady friends. R. A. promptly sub I scribed to the paper in the hope I that by so doing he would in fluence us not to put anything in it about him. This week he re j newed his subscription in the same blind confidence that pay ing up was the best way of keep ing his name out of the paper. < Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Parker have moved from Shallotte to their place at the forks of 130 and 17, Supply. They have thrown out all the beer and wine bottles that were formerly found there. In I short they have one of the clean est and neatest little places . . . W. R. "Bill" Holmes of Shallotte has been mad at us about some thing or another. We think it was because his paper stopped without our knowing it. We are all right now, he couldn't do with out the paper and we couldn't do without him. We have bought ourself a little blue book. The names of pretty girls that are finding their Way into that book would make a con firmed bachelor turn green with envy. No men are allowed a I look at it. It's strictly for the ] girls. Some day, if photographic supplies ever become more plenti- J ful and we get hold of a first rate photographer, we will know who among those girls we can call upon for some pictures of pulchritude that will publicize ( Brunswick. Charles Russ of the Coast Road Service Station was telling us that he had received a big com ,pliment from the V-C Fertilizer company for the advertising he is carrying in this paper .... Now that we think about it, in all of j the trips we have made to Sup- 1 ply during the past 20 years we i have never failed to see Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Galloway They do not Know it, but we call ed around, at the home of Captain and Mrs. Ike Davis Sunday morn ing. Not finding them at home we swiped two of their beautiful camellia blossoms. Someone, it may have been Miss Mae Mastra lez, of Shallotte, said this week that she liked this column be cause while reading it she never knew what she was going to read. Catching him in the act of carrying home 600 baby chickens one day this week, L. W. Clem mons, of Southport, said that as soon as he got the baby chicks all settled and growing, he was going to ask us to come around and have a look at them and his other chicks.
