May we all reverently remember this, the Greatest Gift of all, and give something to Him ..then * it will truly be a MKRRY CHRISTMAS for all of us.

TABOR CITY TRIBUNE {Williamson Appointed District Supervisor Of Census, Resigns Commissioner Post; I Greer Appoints Wooten To Fill Vacancy Chadbourn Business man Named Commis i sioner Following the ! Resignation of Wil I liamson ι ' Lee .1. Greer. Clerk of Superior I Court for Columbus County, on Thursday afternoon named J. T. iTommie' Woolen. Jr.. of Chad bourn. to succeed Arthur W. Wil liamson as member of the County Board of Commissioners. The appointment was announced ι a few minutes after the board of j commissioners met in special ses ! sion to receive and accept Wil liamson's resignation. The information that Williamson would leave the board became I public when Congressman F. K. Carlyle of Lumberton announced that the Cerro Gordo man had been appointed Supervisor of the Census in the Seventh Congve tsional District. ■ ,·- «.■ ■ The new commissioner is a mem ber of one of the county's oldest and most prominent families. Hi is engaged in the automobile bus iness in Chadbourn and has been a member of the Board of Educa tion for the past several years. Under the law. when a commi:·. , sioner resigns, the appointment is made by the Clerk of Superior Court. Acting immediately to fill the : vacancy, Clerk Greer issued the ' following statement: ' In arriving at my decision as , to whom I should appoint as suc ! cessor to Arthur W. Williamson. I ■ felt it important, first to determine from which township the commis sioner should come. I arrived at ι the township by going through the • records which show that Chad bourn was last represented on the , board by Mr. J. R. Blake in 1932. Mr. Calvin Small of Fair Bluff • succeeded Blake and served until 1940, with the exception of a two year term held by Mr. Zeb V. , Williamson of Cerro Gordo. Mr. Williamson has served since 1940 until the time of resignation. 1 Chadbourn has not been repre 1 sented since 1932. which has been : 17 years, and I felt the township ' deserved the place. ' "In arriving at a decision as to I whom I should appoint I wanted io I name someone who was knowii ( throughout the county, and some > one who has proved his ability as a businessman. I also wanted io , name someone who had some . I knowledge of county business. Mr. Tommie Wooten. in my opinion. , possesses those qualifications. His experience while serving as a ! member of the board of education I should be of value to him in his .; new capacity. I also felt it incum bent to appoint someone as quick ; ly as possible so that the business of the county would not be inter rupted, since a new year is about to begin. And I am informed sevr eral important business matten need attention."
