This, That and the Other
By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
During the years we lived in
Morehead City I knew little of
other small towns along the coast.
I did go to Marshallberg to help
organize a missionary society and
to Smyrna on a picnic trip, by
boat of course. In those days
there were few automobiles and
still fewer country roads in that
section that were pasable for cars,
so travel was mainly by boat.
Last week when my husband
and I visited the Manly Wades in
the cottage they had taken for
two weeks at Morehead I did more
traveling up and down the coast
in two days than in the five years
of residence.
Wednesday afternoon the Wades,
were Gerald Wayne Perry, charg
ed with three counts, James Wade
Bolton, charged with three counts,
and Charles Marshall Perry,
charged witfi two counts of break
ing and entering and taking mer
chandise.
Bond for the three was set at
SSOO each. The next term of the
Superior Court is scheduled to be
held Tuesday, September 4.
Other cases included Junior
Brown, guilty of being publicly
drunk in Zebulon, who paid $lO
fine and costs.
Eugene Hinton, colored of Ral
eigh, charged with careless and
reckless driving, having a collision
with a car driven by Jim Anderson,
and failing to stop, was found guil
ty and fined SSO and costs of the
action.
L. W. Bunn, who was found
guilty of drunken driving in Zeb
ulon at a previous session of the
court and had prayer for judge
ment continued, was fined SIOO by
Judge Gill.
John Thomas McGuire, Melvin
Foster, and William Lee, charged
with trespass on the property of
John Watton, assault with a dead

head at 4:30, going first to Beau
fort. We went on through Lenox
ville, Otway, Bettie, Smyrna, Mar
shallbery, Williston, Davis, Stacy
and Gloucester, before crossing
the bridge to Harker’s Island
where we had a picnic supper.
The towns I have listed are not
large; but each has modern homes.
It may sound odd to speak of
ranch-type houses on the sea
coast; but, if that’s what the build
ers want, why not? White is the
greatly preferred color for paint,
and every lawn had grass, shrubs
and flowers. Electricity and hard
surfaced roads have wrought won
