Smyrna-Marshallberg
Road Paving Started
The contracting firm of William
Brown Lexington arrived in Car
teret county this week to start pav
ing the slightly more than three
miles of. road leading from Smyrna
to Marshallberg. An excellent grade
of sand-asphalt will be used in this
work, according to information re
ceived by Congressman Barden
from Capua Waynick, state highway
commissioner.
Under proper working conditions
the paved link which will literally
bring the residents of Marshallberg
out of the mud, will be completed
in about three months, it was stat
ed Sunday. The same asphalt plant
used in paving the Atlantic Highway-Core
Creek bridge route , last
year will be used.
Her Beacon Has Guided Mariners Since 1798
No major changes have been made in Ocracoke lighthouse since it
was built in 1798, and las a result it holds the distinction today of being
the oldest in America still in active use in the original tower. Until
1833 the structure was maintained by the State of North Carolina
and then became a unit of the U. S. Lighthouse service. The tow
er is 75 feet high. Ocracoke's original lighthouse was on Beacon Is
land, but it was not a very substantial structure so near the end of the
18th Century, Capt. John Wallace, "Governour of Shell Castle" Sur
veyed the present site on the larger island of Ocracoke. Boston light,
built in 1716 was the first to be built in America, but major changes
were made in her tower which gives Ocracoke light a unique distinc
tion. (Beaufort News Photo.)

that I had done more harm than

it or not I was not trying to do any

the two stories which came from our
Washington correspondent were, not
merely items of interest but real

being made to get an airport for
this area. If readers of the Beau
