C., on US 264, stands a church which got there with an assist from na ture. The congregation of Prov idence M. B. church sought to buy a lot upon which to build a new edifice, but the owner refused to sell. A storm came up, spilled Pamlico Sound over into the town; the tide picked up the old church building and depos ited It on the recalcitrant man's disputed lot. Believing this to be an omen, he promptly deeded the prop erty to the church? free. The old building now stands behind the new brick one. A similar occurence is record ed at the Hlgglns Community school in Yancey County. The school's founder sought to buy some stone from a mountaineer who had plenty of it. Suspicious of the "outlander", he refused to deal with him. A gullywasher of flood pro portions came up one night, and washed his, stone down the mountain, depositing it on the school site. The trespassing stones were promptly broken up and there were enough of them to construct the whole school.
