Furlaugh, who departed this life one year ago today, July 30, 1930. One year ago you left us, Sad has been our lives since then; But the memory of our dear one Will be with us till the end. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which can never be filled. The midnight stars are gleaming, Upon your silent grave The one we loved so dearly And tried so hard to save* Today recalls sad memories, Of a dear one laid to rest; And those who still remember Arc those who loved you best, loving Son And Grandchildren BEACH PARTY HONORING MISS CANTRELL The members of the young ladies class of Washington Street Baptist Church gave a delightful beach party at Rae’s Beach on the Albe marle Friday night in honor of Miss Athelia Cantrell, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J.

The av erage citizens knows of the State’s leadership in the manufacture of cotton and tobacco, knows of her large towel, denim and underwear mills, but what does he know about scores and scores of individual items manufactured within the State? How many stores stock and ade quately display North Carolina goods, and how many buyers call for such items when making pur chases, even when price and quality and style are in favor of the home poduct? In order to make it possible tor the average North Carolinaian to make satisfactory answer to these and similar questions, the State Department of Conservation and Development is planning to launch a campaign in the future to adver tise North Carolina made products by having them displayed, properly marked and shown by retail stores of the State Such a campaign, it is believed will not only acquaint our own people with what is made with in the State, but will also point the way for further diversification of manufacturing, stimulate the sale of goods and thereby stimulate in dustry and agriculture also. This program fits in with the Governor’s Live-at-Home program and secured his entire approval in a statement made public a few days ago. A list of the principal consumers’ goods made in the State is now be ing compiled by the Department. This list will be placed in the hands of wholesale and retail merchants, who are willing to stock at least some goods made in the State. It is hoped that this campaign can be inaugurated simultaneously, per perhaps early in September, by leading stores in all parts of the State, and that it will spread until every department, dry goods, and general store will be stocking and properly advertising and displaying North Carolina made goods. ANOTHER FISH STORY Does it rain fish? Ye editor was asked that question the other morning and at once he said that it did not, but on second though hehad to admit that he didn’t know. The cause of the question is the old brick hole as it is known by most of the young boys about town. There is not any way for the fish to get into this place as it has been dug out for the purpose of getting dirt to make bricks. There is not any stream leading up to the hole which covers about an acre and has various kinds of fish in it. Where did these fish come from? BISHOP DARST AND REV. W. R. NOE HOLD SPECIAL SER VICES WILLI AMSTON Bishop Darst and the Rev. W.R. Noe will hold a special service at the Episcopal Church at Williams ton this morning at 11:30 o’clock as a farewell to Mr. and Mrs. George H.

Stephenson |of Wel don has returned to Plymouth his old home. Capt. Stcphnson has been temporarily transferred to thej mail and passenger train on the Atlantic Coast Line train between Plymouth and Rocky Mount. Employment Of Mechanic By Board Of Education Will Save County $1500 L. Basnight Is Sucessful County Fe rm Property |A THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY I-By Amos R. Wells SILENCERS FOR AIRPLANES Good news comes from Hiram Maxim’s factory in Hartford, which, since Mr. Maxim’s remarkable in vention, has been making silencers for firearms. When one of these sil encers is added to a pistol, the noise of its explosion is only a mild putt, heard but a few feet away. The in vention is, of cource, most useful in war, rendering it very difficult to locate enemy batteries; also a man may bo shot, and people in full sight of the crime may hear no saund of the firing. This fact has determined Mr. Mixim to discontinue the manufac ture of silencers, but he will turn his attention to silencing airplane eng ines. His work will restore peace to the skies. This use of the invention is a real benefit , while the initial ap plication of it was a curse. now quiCK is me aevn to utilize every means for evil, and how slow are the rightenus in doing the same! Let us become more enterprising in all good. Let us apply to Christ’s work every improvement devised by skill and wisdom. Let us not allow Satan to outspeed Christianity. (Copyrighted Christian Herald) GRACE CHURCH Rev. A. H. Marshall, Rector Mr. Frith Winslow, Sunday School Superintendent Sunday School at 10 A. M. Holy Commun ion at 11 A. M. The church is cool and comfort able and we will be very glad to have you worship with us. GIVES BEACH PARTY Miss Mildred Spruill was hostess to a number of her friends at a beach party at Rae’s Beach Mon day evening, honoring her cousins, Misses Louise and Rose Spruill, of Columbia, S. C. Those attending were: Misses Alice Grey Wolfe, Leah and Eliza beth Davidson, Mildred Waters, Louise Brinkley, Louise, Rose, Mil dred and Eva Spruill, Eliza Hamp ton, Peggy Thompson and Helen Modlin and Clyde Cahoon, Harry Gurkin, George Barden, Sidney Ward, Jimmy Smith, Buddie Stier and Lyman Mayo. Not only is L. L.Basnight Super visor of Washington county roads but he is Supervisor of a nice farm belonging to Washington county. A few years ago when Mr. Bas night came to Plymouth as County Road Supervison,thepresentcounty farm contained only a fewacres and those few acres were producing nothing but grass and weeds, also rotten trees. Now there is 60 acres of as fine land as can be found in the county. Through Mr. Basnight’s efforts, and with the use of convict labor, the two places known as the Oliver Place and the Craddock Place near Plymouth have been converted into one farm, containing about 45 acres. He has had to reclaim ap proximately 15 acres in order to do this. Now one can drive all through this large farm. There is 92 acres of land in these two pieces of pro perty owned by thy county and it is Mr Basnight’s idea to begin cul tivating at least 80 acres of it. In order to do this he will have quite a few trees to cut down and the stumps to remove. On being asked wnatKinaoi tools he had Mr. Basnight stated that he made his stump puller and that be sides that he had four plows. He will produce enough feed this year that the county will not have to purchase anything to feed the team in the local camp. He will also pro duce enough meat to take care of the need at the road camp and the poor house. SWIMMING PARTY FOR VISITOR. Miss Alice Spruill delightfully en tertained at a Swimming Party at Rae’s Beach on Tuesday Evening in honor of Miss Eleanor Paul, of High Point. After swimming the guests roasted wciners and danc ing was enjoyed. Those present in addition to the guest of honor and hostess were: Misses Margaret, Helen, Virginia, and Edna Knowles, Mary Ainsley, Mildred Swain, Sally Atkinson, of Greenville, Elouisc and Dalcrs Camp, of Ahoskie and Mrs. Isa G. Johnston. Messrs J. C. Shearin, Shaw, Howard Marx, Shaker Tcele, Jim Smith, C. C. Parker, J. T. Hale. Dan Jones, and X. C. Thompson, of Plymouth C. E. Mizell Jr., Tom Norman, Dan Marrow, Potter Dix on, B. G. O’Brien, James Bateman, and Charles and Henry Williams, of Norfolk, V.\. Pug Price, Claud Leggett and W. H. Williams Jr. of Williamston. POET AND PEASANT “Well,” said tbe Peasant, “What have you been doing these hot days to entertain yourself?” “I have been doing as little as possible and trying to keep cool,” said the Poet. “I got so hot the other morning, both physicially and mentally that I didn’t know what to do,” said the Peasant. “Don’t you know better than to get mad this hot weather? said the Poet. “Well,” said the Peasant, “you see it was like this; I wanted to use the long distance telephone and 1 just rang and rang, but no one answered me. I tried for about an hour then I asked a friend to trv and he had the same success. This | not being the first time that I had had that experience, it made me plenty mad. I am almost sure that the telephone company gets about six or eight hundred dollars a month out of Plymouth and it seems to me that we should get some service.’. “You are right about that,” said the Poet, “but I think that the ser vice will be allright in a few days.” “The service might get allright,” said the Peasant, ‘‘but no one has been able to do anything with their radio since this dial system has been installed. There is a leak somewhere.” The Washington County Board of Education will use 18 truck dur ing the coming school year for the purpose of transporting the rural children to and from school. One more school will be consolidated;all children who have been attending school at Scuppernong will de trans ported to Creswell, After careful study of the situat ion wras made by the members of the board, it was decided that these trucks could be more economically operated by employing a man mec hanic to be in charge of all the trucks. Seary Wright, a local boy, was employee by the board for this position. He has had considerable experiance as a mechanic and it is estimated that through his efforts the county will save $1500 during the coming year. He will be respon sible not only for the various trucks, but he will have to look out for all of the machinery, consisting of light and water plants, operated by the County Board of Education. IN MEMORY The Death Angel has visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Heber Res pess and taken from them the youngest son Billie Bruce. He was born May 2G, 1927 and died July 19, 1930. He leaves to mourn the lost, a father and mother three brothers, Dallas, Irvin, and Heber Jr. One grandmother, Mrs. Anna Respass, one Grandfather, Mr. J.E. Askew, besides several Aunts, Un cles, and Cousins to miss Little Billie’s call. He was a bright little boy and all who knew him loved him. But God loved him best. He had only been sick a short time. He was taken to the Washington Hospital Saturday evening and died a short time He never lived long enough to be operated upon so as to find out his disease. He was buried Sunday evening at 4 o’clock near his home Rev. Forrest of the A. C. C. of Wilson held the burial services. There was a large crowd attended the services. We can say we did all we could for him but to no avail. He has gone on there to await and rest with the Lord.
