, I heard -once the. late Dr. S.
Parkes Cadman deliver an address
on the subject of gold. After re-
- monstratlng at some length on the
use of money, the jgurposes of life
he concluded with something like
this: You can make all the gold
you want to and you'll probably
. enjoy some of it, in a manner, as
you go along but when you die you
. can't take It with you and if you
did it would probably melt. -. r

Speaking of embryos, that is
embryos In Industry, a few weeks
ago we wrote an item about the
- shoe shopr in Warsaw, operated by
J. R. Boney and his World War II
veteran son manufacturing summer,
sandals. -They, are still, at it and
doing' a good job,. We again add,
if shoes -ran ' be-' made elsewhere
' why not in Duplin? - , , -
A few days ago in -Wallace I visit
ed another sort of embryo industry.
Harry Kramer, B. C. Elkin and W.
F. Brice have started a pickle pack
ing plant In Wallace: Not on a large
i scale. Mr. Elkin, a 'veteran pickle
man, ;- is --in - charge -v; of the
plant He has built an assembly line
- , where clean neatly dressed ladies
pack cukes Into jars as the Jars
travel along a belt before them,
i The plant, though small, now has
a capacity of 1000 cases per'day.
.They pack dills, sours, fresh, sweets
and relish. The other day they were
packing fresh dills. The public is
'. invited to visit and inspect the
Wallace Pickle Company's plant lo
cated on the east side' of the rail
road at the northern end of town.
Messrs. Kramer, Brice and Elkin
. are the type of gogetters we need
more of in Duplin. Instead of holl-
' erlng for . someone else to .bring

Duplin and its products are known ,
, nation wide. We predict a similar
- success' for the new industry -..at

now but in a few months it is going

paving. When completed Rose Hill
wiU have more paved streets than
any town In the county.' A Rose Hill
' citizen a ' few days ago remarked
that a few years . ago he thought
Rose Hill would soon become a
ghost, town, swallowed up by other
surrounding progressive towns, but

Kenansville has; a new town
aboard now. The first time in many
years that a complete new set has
taken over. It is composed of young
blood with new and progressive
ideas. There are many things that
need be done to improve our coun

Mother Mrs. iM; M.
Wirfepl
Mrs.' Murphy Thigpen. of Beula
ville., sent the following story to
the Times this week. Jt appeared
m a Cedartown, Ga., paper a year
ago. It was written by Burt Emmet
in her column TNT.
Mrs. Thlgpen's mother at that
time was 8? years old; she is now
about 88. '.
The following story appeared:
-TNT spent last week in the
southern part of the state . . .
She enjoyed, her visit but she came
back with the very definite con
viction that Cedartown i and North
Gergia was truly the garden spot
of Georgia, with the grandest peo
ple in the world living right here.
While she hasn't told. me. so,
yet TNT thinks that ; this same
thing is perhaps true with Mrs.
T. H. Adams, who is now here with
her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Whi taker, after spending some
years with her daughter, Mrs". M.
M. Thigpen In Beulaville, N. C. She
also has another son in Cedartown,
Mr. Sam. Adams. .-',sv '"-'--. -
Cedartown is really for Mrs. Ad
ams as she resided here until just
a few years ago ,.. She was a
neighbor of TNTs and TNT, like
many others, disliked the fact that
she was leaving Georgia and now
delighted that she is back for a nice
long visit.
