i
1 The antiquated system of rec
ords in the Clerk's office at the
court house, whereby wills, judg
ments, etc., have been preserved
since the county was first estab
lished, is to be replaced by the
modern Colt's Family System
which is used in the most pro
gressive counties of this and oth
er States.
i The thanks for this great im
provement to the county's perm
anent record system are largely
due to Mrs. Minnie G. Doyle, ad
ministrator of the CWA, who
made the work a legitimate coun
ty project and secured its approv
al at State and federal headquav
ters, which are financing the pro
ject.
' The cost to the county will be
I
only the pvice of the books to be
used, which are now being bound
by a publishing concern.
The labor is being paid by the
• i
CWA, which is giving employ -
[ ment to the following personnel: |
I Mrs. Jessie P. Christian, supervis-'
■or; Mrs. Robah Browder, of Ger-1
imanton; Miss Grace Woodruff, of
Walnut Cove; Miss Alta Easter, 1
of Walnut Cove; Miss Margaret
