AND THE WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina • I LEE ROY HARRIS,.Owner and Publisher ^ Walter II Paraniore.Editor $1.30 a YEAla rr»c six months! Address all communications to the Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N. C. Entered is second-class mail matter at the PostofFiee, Plymouth, North Carolina, under the act of March 3rd, 1S87. FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1929 Council Should Ccncider Somehow the editor of the Beacon and News is incl.ned to agree with the sentiment of the conversation between the Poet and Peasant In last week's issue of this paper in regards to the City Coun cil passing a law prohibiting the placing of perishable merchandise cn the streets. As the City Fathers meet this evening it would be well for them to consider this matler. Not only does the food attract germs but it obstructs the pas sage way. Citizens going by these stores are forced to go single file or get their clothes torn or their shins hurt passing the containers of this food. -03 Plymouth Advancing Came some strangers to this sleepy little village that rest beside a mighty historic river which banks are lined with valuable timber that is so bountiful in this section. Then came other strangers who made surveys, bought land and built a railroad into this struggling little village. The railroad and vessels brought in machinery which was used in the timber mill. Some years later another group of strangers came down to look over a site and also built their factories beside this historic old river. These fastories employed industrious people who bought the produce of farm and field throughout the country side. Manufacturing timber into boxes and handles was profitable from the easily accessible timber that is abundant in this section. But as the old villagers and politicians did not become rich and powerful and were not offered huge sums of money for their lands they became jealous. They caused the railroads to be builc around the little town instead of through the middle as is the usual custom. They tried to pass laws that would burden the owners of the plants. Just in the niche of time a new and younger generation came into power. They offered the manufacturers inducements to continue their plants in operation here. They even built a road to one of the plants They made special offers to the other. So they remained despite the activities of the older persons. A newspaperman seeing the possibilities of such a town like this launched a weekly sheet for that town. It was hard to get started. But it has continued until today. It carries the news of that little town beside the great river that barely survived the reactions of the old men The paper is growing with the town and community. L.ike the town young men stepped into the newspaper organLa tion with the vigor ard vivacity o! youth. They cooperated with the citizens of the town and county. And a: a result they are making a living and expanding. Every thing is working toward the growth and advancement of Plymtuth. FARM NOTES Cherokee fruit growers say that cold winds and frosts have caused most of the young apples to drop from the trees. Farmers of the Valdese community have organized a bull club recently purchased one of the fine Guernsey animals sold at the Salis bury sale. Ten pure bred Hereford bulls have been placed in Avery County through efforts of the county agent to revive the lagging beef cattle industry. rt^* 1 0 o ^J^KILL ^INSECTS* mo* (,„„ jUw-o®’ • bf Mrt'omiid A CompMy, IKS 141 LLS-!1ie»-Mo»quito««-Bedbug8—Roaches—Moths—Ants—Fleas Waterbugs—Crickets and many other insects B'rile for educational booklet, McCormick 9 Co., Baltimore, Md.
