A Fragment of Local History The silver service owned by General Jethro Sumner is a treasurec heirloom in the home of Mrs. Geo Thomas of Wilmington, a receni guest at Hotel Warren. The service was left to Mr. Thomas' granc grandmother by General Sumner's daughter, Mrs. Jacky Sumnei Blount, wife of Hon. Thomas Blount of Edgecombe, who had no children to perpetuate the name and family traditions. General Sumner had only two children both of whom "died without issue" Wheeler tells us. In order to perpetuate her name, Mrs. Blount asked the privilege of naming the little daughter of her friend, Mrs. Clark, for herself. Not wishing to afflict another with the name Jacky, which she herselx did not fancy, sne changed her own name first tc Mary, and was allowed to bestow the name Mary Sumner on the little girl who was later to receive Mrs. Blount's most cherished possession. Mary Sumner became the wife of Dr. George Thomas of Wilmington. Several generations passed since the first Mary Sumner Thomas used the service in dispensing tea and hospitality, but it has never passed out of the family and it is interesting to note that it is owned today by one whc still perpetuates the name?Mary I LO Low Prices on H: I Flour, Meal, M Coffee.

I She said that Maryland, who was i in the yard fixing his tire, started towards Falkner at this time call- I iiig "Falkner, Falkner." "When Maryland pulled out his gun Falkner pulled out his. I think the first shot missea and then Falkner hit i . Maryland over the head with his 1 i gun. He was beating hint across : ; the head when Roy pulled him off," ] i she stated. On cross examination ' r she said that both pulled guns i ; about the same time and that j : Harris started shooting. ; Lem Clanton stated that he was 1 ; at Telia Edwards' home and saw Falkner coming but did not notice ; where he had his hand and did J not hear him say anything.

Willie would fight , you if you messed witn him. He hit me with a baseball bat about three months ago." Plummer Falkner, son of Willie , Falkner, said he was at Telia Edwards' home earlier in the day and offered to help Maryland Harris fix an automobile tire. "He cursed me and told me to get on away. I told him I would as scon as I J rolled a cigarette, and he told me 1 to roll it on the way. Plummer stated that when he got home he < told his father that Harris had I cursed him and had drawn a pistol 1 on him. He said that he did not know anything about the fight, i and that his father did not tell J him anything about it when he reached home and fell to the ? floor. ? Roy Clanton's version of the c shooting was practically the same as the others. He said that Ha iris | ivas knocked unconscious and that , lie with others brought him here to the office of Dr. F. P. Hunter where his injuries were treated. "None of us knew that Falkner was shot until we got down to Mr. Ray Weston's Service Station on the way out of town when he heard ;hat he was about to die," he stated. The state was represented by William Taylor. PIItLATIIEA TO MEET The regular monthly meeting of the Baptist Philathea Class will be held in the home of Mrs. R. E.
