Florida Visitor, After Traveling Tliro Four States, Expresses Opinion of the Town The towns of Northampton should vie with each other in making them pleasing to the eye of the visitor. Since the advent of good roads in the county a large number of people who never traveled this way before are passing through and advertising our section to the world, This is especially true of the towns on the State highways. Last week we had a visitor in Rich Square, Mrs. L. L. Gardner, from Fort Myers, situated more than two hundred miles South of Jacksonville, Fla. She came here to visit relatives, making the trip leisurely on her car, accom panied by other members of her family. Asked about the trip Mrs. Gardner said she had a very pleasant trip and found the people at all the places she stop ped kind and hospitable, charac teristic of our Southern people. While here she traveled over the* State’s highways in Northamp ton, Hertford and Bertie counties. While in Windsor she met the incomparable Francis D. Winston also Postmaster King and family,, having become acquainted with^ the latter through an assignment' as a trained nurse several years ago when she nursed Mr, King through an attack of typhoid fever. At that time she waa employed by Dr. Tayloe of Wash ington, N.-C. Before leaving here Mrs. Gard ner gave it as her opinion that the town of Scotland Neck, is the prettiest town she had seen in the four states through which she had traveled, and that the Edwards Ferry bridge, which is in Northampton with the excep tion of the Southern abutment,, is the prettiest bridge she had seen in all of her travels. The impressions of the town and bridges will remain with Mrs. Gardner and party ail their lives. Other visitors, too, judge our towns by the width and condi tion of the streets, and the ap. pearances of the houses and lawns. It behooves us to put our towns in the best order pos sible, and to treat all who pass this way in a manner to uphold the best traditions of the South ern people. COUNTY TEACHERS MEETING The principals of the eight months schools will have a con ference on August 31. All the teachers of the county will have a conference on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
