And When you add the terror and fright of six horrible war years, which ere indelibly etched In her. dark brown eyes It just naturally makes you want to do something for .her. Possibly it was this latter feature tibout Miss Laar which appealed so much to Mrs. A. R. Williams, rdult leader of the Youth Fellow Yp group, and gave birth to the of the wedding. As soon, as made her plans knn'n, the I Is:; one who had met this demure young bdy, determined to have a part. . Even hard-headed businessmen of the community, and hard-working farmers asked for some part in it, and one of them, without be ing asked, stopped his farm work, took his truck and hauled pines to the church for decorations, so that the first wedding ever- to be held in the 50-year-old place of worship might be performed against a proper background. It was the' bridegroom's original plan to have a quiet ceremony, with no fuss or bother, but. once Mrs. Williams got. behind her many friends in the neighborhood, Mr. Carr didn't have a chance, and when the actual ceremony was per formed there were several brides maids, maid of honor, flower girl, ushers in fact, the whole works, which ;, were -completed with an .open reception in tlfe recreation (CONTINUED ON BACK) 5 Galjons Whiskey Found In Barn.' .

(Photos By Craft) It Was Corn Shucking Time In Duplin Court House Monday They had an old-fashioned corn sjiucking in Duplin County court here Monday.' It was a sour exhibition for Worth Mobley, who lives near Rich lands in Onslow County, because it cost him exactly $112 and costs. The shucking was held for the benefit of Judge Robert L. West in a case in which Mobley was charged with short-measurements of corn bought from farmers for the Mob ley grist mill. Weights Inspector C. D. Baucom of Raleigh, aided by attorneys, State Highway Patrolmen, and sheriff's deputies, shucked a bushel and a half of corn from a hamper Mobley allegedly used as a bushel Candidate Johnson Will Speak In !

FRIDAY, JUNE 11th. 1948 The revolutionary new Ford fduf-doof Hdaj) for 1949 it low $dfj 3Cnjift JXA SrWrtdes nearly 25 pw cent man vMbmty..: . 'v: . ..A-jbs-a AtfiW Long Awaited 1949 Fords Made Public Wednesday; Warsaw Dealer Has 'em The 1949 Ford, which reveals a radical . departure from tradition al Ford styling and engineering, was made public Wednesday by the Ford Motor Company. "New standards of beauty, com fort, economy and performance in the 1949 Ford passenger cars ad vance them far ahead of others in the low-priced field," J. ft .Davis, vice president and director of sales and advertising, said. "Styling of the new Ford definitely establishes it as the car of the year." To develop and produce the 1949 Ford passenger cars, Ford Motor Company has expended more than $37,400,000 in tools, dies, jigs and fixtures. STYLING The modern design has been molded along functional lines, resulting in a long, low, sweeping silhouette. The grille is distinctive, the. hood massive but shorter and. the body so wide the rear fenders have been eliminated. There are clean, unbroken lines from front to rear. COMFORT Comfort has been one of the primary objectives in the new Ford. There is more room in the "lounge car" Interiors than in many larger over-all dimensions. Front seat widths have been in creased six inches and the rear seat nearly eight inches. The body has been moved five Inches for ward with the seats cradled be tween the axles for a much smooth er ride. " A ney type of suspension system - "hydra-coil" springs rejAces us rrauiuonai transverse springs and the front axle. This system is centered around airplane type Shock absorbers mounted within low frequency coil springs. In the rear, extra long longitudinal springs are complemented by air plane type shock absorbers. The drive shaft tunnel has been decreased by adoption of the Hotchkiss drive and the hypoid rear axle. These engineering changes also minimized the trans mission of road noises into the car. Engine vibration has been re duced by literally floating the pow er plant on rubber mounts. A new heating system -available in the new Fords brings year a- round comfort to driver and pass engers. Fresh air is scooped into the car through large intakes just Hail And Wind Bring To Duplin Farmers Rain, wind, and hail struck Du plin Tuesday afternoon in a devas tating manner cutting a narrow swath-from just east of Faison to Sarecta, Pink Hill and Comfort in Jrnes County. The damage was wreaked in about 10 to 15 minutes. Losses in tobacco, corn and other crops ranged from small damage to total loss of crops in many fields. In the Red's Store and Friendship sections, the Dr. Morton farm near Faison, and nearly every tobacco crop from the Wesley community td , Dundy Williams Crossroads, north to Goshen swamp and east to Sarecta losses were reported ex tremely heavy. Tobacco of any size was either stripped or beaten ' to the ground. Many fanners have ! already begun plowing up the stalks. Reports from around Pink Hill say that damage was heavy in that section and over around Deep Run.-,.:;'' ' ."y Highway 11 at Goshen Swamp was blocked temporarily with bro ken limbs and trees. A road run ning by Ab Phillips' farm west of Kenansvilla was blocked by fallen t-eos. In Smith township and auto obi le, parked on the road, was hit by a falling tree and damaged. behind the grille. The system, which has an auto matic temperature control, can be used as a fresh air ventilator, a fresh air heater or as a recircula ting heater. Fresh air plus the pressure effect obtained by the car's forward motion reduces fog ging and drafts. ECONOMY Economy of oper ation has been increased up to 10 per cent improvement in gasoline mileage for the new six-cylinder engine and the extensively rede sign. 1 V-8. Both are offered as power plants in all Ford models. Other engineering features result in better performance and longer engine life. A new intake manifold achieves better fuel distribution. It is at tached o the engine so that it is horizontal to the ground, reducing the tendency of raw gasoline to flow toward the rear cylinders and smoothing engine operation. The new "equa-flow" cooling system contributes to good perfor mance under extreme conditions by improving reneral operating ef fiden.y. Water flows in volume the full length of the block. Tem peratures in "hot spots" in the six and eight cylinder engines have. been decreased by as much as 12 degrees. There are larger water pumps i i the V-8. Improvements in the ignition system also have contributed to in creased economy and efficiency. As much as 25 per cent improve ment in gasoline economy may be achieved by taking advantage of the overdrive which is factory- installed optional equipment. SAFETY New standards of safety have been set in the rugged construction of the chassis and body. The box-type frame is of alU welded construction. Although the frame is lighter, there is 59 per cent more rigidity when combined with the body. Lowering the over-all height by four inches and placing the seats between the axles results in a lower center of gravity, an. aid in safe driving. The windshield has been increas ed in height and width and the rear window now provides "picture window" visibility for driver and passengers.
