WILLIAMSTON TO

(Continued from the-first page I
no longer see the mass of trees
where Rea's Beach resort once stood,
wt- had the feeling that the keeper of
tin drawbridge had opened the gates
• and we were then in "a new world.
.Surely- - tin* ship's good captain
Jlmught we wore in a new world, for
■we asked more questions • than there
were curves in the Roanoke We ask
•ed him what light that was, what it
meant when it blinked a few sec-!
onds and then would relight itself. I
.W» troubled him for information a j
bout this river and that river, about i
other boats we saw past., the direc-i
tion. we were then traveling and so,
.on down the line. '•
Late evening found air undescrtb-J
• ''le moon casting its soft beams - -on
the ship and its-all men. Seated in
the deck chairs w. could, it seemed,
ri.de on forever and continued to en
joy such a surrounding. It was with
reluctance that we" accepted Captain
V\ ise's invitation to retire and leave
the moon to shine all alone. Once
ii our berths, we soon fell asleep,
awakening next morning "to find'our
selves in the 64-n:ili- canal, leading
into Norfolk. It was a-l w minutes
five when breakfast was an
nounced. We asked Captain Wise if
i' wasn't a rather early start, but. he
said he wanted .us to see all the
sights. We Itpptfrujjrd this when we
started passing through draw bridge
titter draw • bridge, seeing trucks
making their daily and early trips'
l«" the city. I,aiia ,-aw mills were
scattered along the canal, and huge
barges were busy taking the lumber
fliom these- mills. By the. time we
reached sight of Norfolk we were
ii -1 tamed to ask questions;
.m we looked with amazement at
tlie sights seen as one enters ..Nor
folk by the water route.
We docked at pier No. 1 of the Nor
folk, Baltimore and Carolina Line a
few minutes before seven o'clock,
making the time for tin- trip about
IS# hours. To say the least it was a
wonderful trip and the hospitality
accorded us by Captain Wise, Chief
Engineer, C. B. Wise; •'. C. Lyons,
Assistant Engineer aAd Captain Ollie
Harron, Mate, was the best nnagin
able. The Albemarle makes two trip,-.'
each week, and Cap'. Wise with his
crew always call around to see their
friends here,
During the pas! few' weeks the
boat has brought hundreds of Fords
te this section, besides large amounts
of freight for this and neighboring
towns. It is one of the many boats of
the Norfolk, Baltimore, Carolina Line
which operates between Baltimore
Norfolk and Eastern Carolina points.
We returned via Norfolk Southern
and suffice it to say that made us
value the boat trip all the more. j

Florida Way of Buying
Gasoline Comes Here
'Down in Florida tourists would
.'often drive up to a filling station,
huve their gas tanks filled and then
drive off without paying. This meth
od of getting gas struck here last
Tuesday night when three negroes
coming from across the river stop
ped at -the bridge keepers house at
the Roanoke river bridge and ordered
eight gallons of gas and three quarts
of oil. When Mr. Harris had filled
the order and was putting his oil
pot up when the negroes made their
get away.
Mr. Harris as unable to read the
number of the car as it was too dark
and there was no rear light to aid
him in so doing. He rushed to the
telephone and tried to find the night
policeman, but all the business firms
had closed and it was impossible to
get in touch with the officer.
Mr.' Harris states the happening
Uught him a lesson, and his lesson
should serve for others.

Modern Store
Has Grown Rapidly in
Last Several
Years
Entering their seventh year of
business, Margolis Brothers have,
during that time secured a reputa
tion hard to beat when it comes to
running a high class dry goods store.
Foremost in their policies has been
the handling of dependable merchan
dise, the kind that meets the needs
and demands of the people of this en
tire section, and selling at prices a
greeable to all. The commercial pro
gress of a community is largely the
personal history of the men living
there, and surely it can be said that
these brothers have lent ably to make
our town witness the prosperity it
has enjoyed during the past few
years.
Handling the famous make of So
ciety Brand clothes, this concern sells
each year hundreds of suit s of this
make clothes.
Mr. Frank J. Margolis, the senior
member of the firm, keeps well in
touch with the happenings in the
clothing world, and he values his
several trips to northern markets
where he purchases stock, very high
ly. - Both Irving, the junior member
of the firm, and Frank are very pop
ular with the people of our section
and their hearty welcome to every
body has a great deal to do With the
large patronage given them.
