It is tns biggest sale ever to be put on in Kenansvllle. and accordins to of ficials of the company, it has been justifiable, from the standpoint oi savings to the public as well as worth while to the firm. Paul In gram, manager of the store, states that thev have received a nice shipment of electrical appliances that are ideal for Christmas. The store is still chock full of mer chandise at. almost give-away If Tom Miller Is Planning To Visit Home; First Timein Over Twenty-live Years The County, Commissioners On Mnndav. Dec. 6th. the first Monday in December - all elected and appointed officers of the coun ty were sworn in. For the County Commissioners the first thing on th affenda was the last meeting of the Board which had held office for the past two years. This Board met and wound ud its business with Mr. George D. Bennett, Chairman, presiding. Among other things it accepted: the resignation oi rax. vinro B. Ravin as County Attor ney. In accepting the resignation of Mr. Gavin the Board passed me following resolution and a copy, 'hearing the seal ef the County, was given to Mr. Gavin. It read as fol lows!" Before The Board of ' Commissioners NORTH CAROLINA, DUPLIN COUNTY. Four of the Miller boys from Miller-Town, near Beulaville, have recently enjoyed a trip covering parts of N. C, S. C, Ga., Miss., Ala., and Fla. They are Norwood- Her man, Andrew, and Gordon Miller. They drove. The purpose of their trip was to visit their uncle. D. St. (better known in Duplin a Tom) Miller who lives in Columbus, Miss, a sizeable town. Mr. "Tom" has not been back to Duplin in about 28 years. He is 78 years old and very active for his age. He is the son of William Hill Miller and Elizabeth Hall MUler, natives of the Miller Town section of Duplin County.. He left Duplin at the age of 25. For some time he lived in South Caro lina, then went to Alabama where he worked for Tom Maxwell, an other son of Duplin, in the furni ture business. Later he moved to Columbus. Miss. He has had suc cess there and he and his family are well known and respected. The Miller boys left home on v 29 in Norwood's car. They sed through Columbia, Atlanta, 1 mirihara, Tuscalloosa and ar rived at Columbus. Miss, on Nov. 30. There they spent two days and uiBhts with their uncle and then proceeded to Beloxi, Miss., Mobile, . to Paaola. Ala., where a large shipyard is stationed on the Gulf of Mexico; back to Tallahassee. Fla. Jacksonville, Fla., Savannah, Ga., Charleston, S. C, to Wilmington, N. C, and on in home. In short they followed a coastal route from the Gulf to Wilmington. They are expecting a visit from "Mr. Tom" the latter part of April. No doubt great festivities will be nut on for this occasion. (It's a .pity Mr. Lawton couldn't be hero for the occasion). Ed. Note: We are bound to add this - the Miller family is really a credit to the county. We arc all proud of them. The DUPLIN TIMES went on the air last Sunday from Clinton. For the next 13 weeks we will be on the air from Clinton, Goldsboro, Kinston, WPTF in Raleigh and the new News and Observer FM Station in Raleigh. At this hour of writing we do not recall the number of the News It Observer station and we ddh't know the hour the broadcast will go on. But WKNS in Kinston and the Clinton Radio stations will go on at 2:15 P.M. each Sunday. John Sikes of Wallace is doing the broadcasting. The whole pro gram is being sponsored by the Duplin Times. Keep your radios tuned in. Just what John is going to say, we have no idea. We are leaving the entire idea and script up to him. Let's listen in and see bat John can develop in the interest of , Duplin County. It stands to reason that a newspaper should be jealous of a radio station, but we don't see it that way. We feel we must move along with the trend of the times. So, as a news caster, and an advertising solicitor, we feel, we must cooperate with the radio sta tions and they are cooperating with us. The idea is, as we reporters ,; see it, to get the news and adver tising over. J. R. G.

In addi tion to the holiday seasen. we arc also entering into a three-week's, period made up of the shortest days of the year. It is this combina tion that too often turns what should be Joyful December into Deadly December as far as traffic accidents ore concerned. According to the Carolina Motor Club, the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, participation in the holi day festivities and longer hours of darkness, all are factors which con tribute to a traffic fatality record 30':; above the monthly average. i .ei us consider whv December has beeome one of the most deadly months of the year. First of all, there is the "street ostrich." He is one who nevcrs heeds the advice, avoid the rush - - do your shopping for Christmas early.
