Everything moved rather smoothly in the channel of routine and the county's governing body called it a day around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The State Highway Commission was requested by the board to work and maintain a road leading from Early Jones' place to Mrs. W. H. Stewart's home. The road is situated in Sandy Creek township; it is about half a mile long, and is used as a mail route. E. L. Gould, a World War veteran, was exempted from paying a county license to peddle medicine. Miss Carrie Helen Moore appeared before the board and requested that she be exempted from a penalty imposed on tax valuation of two bales of cotton, the tags of which were lost. The board agreed to give her a credit of $5.18. Twenty dollars was appropriated for the purchase of a file for the county agent's office after Bob Bright appeared before the board and stated that what files he had were overcrowded. Appropriations of $2.00 each were made for Solomon Brown and Willie Hepbourne, outside paupers, and $4 a month was ordered ap propriated for the support of Mike Johnson. Five dollars was paid to Mary Powell, midwife, for services rendered Alice Walker. It was ordered that S. L. Crinkley receive a reduction of $75.00 on his property located in NorCna, consisting of one-half acre and now valued at $268. Destruction of a dwelling by fire was responsible for the reduction. Miss Lucy Leach, welfare officer, was instructed by the board to return to Vance county the following persons, they being non-residents and not a charge upon the county: J. F. Futrell and Viola Futrell Pearce and her two children, Lucy King and wife and George Weldon King. Dedication Service At Macon Church Macon, Nov. 5.?Last Sunday at 11 a. m., the handsome Methodist Episcopal Church in Macon was dedicated following the burning of the notes that had been standing for several years. The church has been remodeled at a cost of $13,500, of which $2,500 was donated by the Duke Foundation. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Edward Emerson Wiley Jr., Kearns Fellow in Religion, Duke Univer sity, before a congregation tnat rilled the auditorium, and was followed by the dedication at which the pastor, Rev. O. I. Hinson, was the celebrant. Participating in the dedicatory ritual were the trustees, W. S. Gardner, W. E. B. Harris, A. P. Brame, Fletcher Bobbitt, and N. Macon Thornton, successor to the late W. G. Egerton, who for a number of years was a trustee of this historic church. The building committee, composed of P. M. Drake, S. M. Gardner, L. R. Harris, R. A. Harris, W. T. Person, N. M. Thornton, is being congratulated on having cleared the church of indebtedness, while great credit is due the pastor, Rev. O. I. Hinson. An interesting side light on the occasion is the fact that two of the trustees participating in the day's ceremonies, W. S. Gardner and W. E. B. Harris, recall the first dedication, 60 years ago, at which time the sermon was preached by the late Dr. Robert O. Burton, distinguished pulpit orator of the N. C. Conference.
