Page Six ISAACS WILL MAY BENEFIT WAKELON SCHOOL Hearing to Be Held July 13 to Determine Validity of Papers Validity of a will which may have been made by the late R. L. Isaacs, former resident of Zebulon, may be determined at a hearing in the office of W. G. Mordecai, the clerk of the Superior Court of this county, at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 13. R. L. Isaacs died July 12, 1947, and G. E. Isaacs of Durham, also a former resident of Zebulon and a brother of the deceased, was du ly qualified as adminstrator of the estate. On May 18, 1948, there was re ceived in the office of the Superior Court clerk a special delivery let ter postmarked Raleigh, but with out any return address or letter of explanation. In the em elope were two documents purporting to be a will and cocidil executed by the late Mr. Isaacs. The will, dated July 23, 1942, gives his daughter, Mrs. Beverly Isaacs Moore, certain tracts of land in Bunn, and the balance of his property in equal shares to Wake lon School, Methodist Orphanage, Edenton Street Methodist Church, and Rex Hospital. The document provided that if Mrs. Moore should contest the will she would be deprived of the lots in Bunn and be given SIOO. The cocidil, bearing a 1945 date, provides that the court clerk shall administer the estate for 50 years intact. Isaacs was an insurance execu tive, and had fairly large real es tate holdings. His brother, G. E. Isaacs of Durham, and his daugh ter are both well known here. HOPKINS CHAPEL Miss Minda Pearce is at home this week. She is a student at Kennedy’s Commercial School in Durham.

F. Wright, Negro county agent for the State College Extension Serv ice. During March, 1947, more than 50 farmers placed a cooperative order and obtained 125 bushels of the Louisiana strain of Porto Ri can certified potatoes for bedding. Shortly afterwards H. M. Coving The Zebulon Record f ton, Extension horticulture spec ialist, visited the county and ad vised a large group of prospective sweet potato producers on the rec ommended practices necessary to produce the high-quality, disease free potato which the market de mands. To date the high-quality roots have been handled in strict ac cordance with Extension recom ; mendations regarding seed treat ment, bedding, land selection and preparation and fertilization. Most growers have applied at least 1,000 pounds of 3-9-12 fertilizer per acre with the recommended ! amount of borax to help prevent | excessive cracking. Growers recently have been busy in the fields getting the plants transplanted and cultivat ing the early crops. If weather conditions are favorable through j out the growing season, growers I expect to harvest an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 bushels on more than 50 acres. Os this amount a I substantial percentage will pro bably be of a marketable size and quality.

One day we were lean ing against a drain pipe back of Corbett’s Barber Shop—watching a game of horseshoes— and we learned a lot better than to hold to outside metal when it’s cloudy and hot. The other time we were milking a cow in a shed covered with gal vanized iron. Lightning hit our holly tree, and got us just a lit tle. The cow didn’t like it, blam ed us, and kicked both the bucket and milker a country mile.
