BIRD SANCTUARY PROPOSED Pinebluff, a hamlet near Aberd or-, in North Carolina’s famous sand hills region, proposes to become a bird sanctuary. The villagers hnic adopted a charter which will be ; re sented before the January session < i I the general assembly. If the legislat ors approve, Pinebluff will bee .me the only incorporated municipality in the country with its entire corporate area designated by law as a saiuio ary for the feathered tribe. The plan is proposed with the i lea of establishing a memorial to the late Dr. J. W. Achom, who spent much of his time in Pinebluff, and who wrote a book about North Cjij'o lina birds. The idea is at once novel and appealing. Pinebluff’s expo - ment will doubtless be watched with ! interest by bird lovers in other North ' Carolina villages and cities, and per | haps the plan may be adopted e’se where. The Record would not for a moment dash cold water upon the law table schemes and ambitions of the Pine-. bluff citizens, though it is but natur- j al to wonder lww—when, and it, the | legislature adopts the bird sanctuary proposal—the villagers are going to deal with stray cats and dogs and, with small boys who are expert shots ■with rifles and sling-shots—-these be-I ing chief menaces to the lives and limbs of the feathered songsters — Greensboro Record. which he never fully re-, esulting in his death Noveni Mrs. Parrish was Miss Nance, a daughter of Nor fance, of western Randolph. 7 years old.
