RESOLUTION Mrs. Nita Pickett Whereas, Our Heavenly Father in His in finite wisdom called from our midst on May 25, 1950, our beloved leader of the George Rollins Circle of the Baptist W. M. U. Nita Pickett. It is fitting that we pause in our activities to pay loving tribute to her, one of our best and most loved members. She was truly a person worth knowing, passing to and fro among us with her genial personality, rad iating cheerfulness and good will. Her devotion to service and the happy spirit of her life was an in spiration to others to follow in her lead. To her nearest and dearest we extend understanding sympathy for the loneliness they must feel. May they find comfort in cherished memories of their dear one. "Beautiful life is one whose span, Is spent in service to God and man, Beautiful twilight at set of sun, Beautiful rest with life well done." First: we bow in humble submiss ion to Him who doeth all things well; Second: that we wish to extend to the family our heartfelt sympa thy; Third: that a copy of these reso lutions be recorded in our minutes, a copy be sent to the family, a copy to the Biblical Recorder, a copy to the Warsaw-Faison News and to the Duplin Times for publi cation.

From all of us to you , "Good Visited Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Mew- born Suday. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Grady are spending the week with her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. H. O'Neil in Jack son, Ga.

After the rain last week they rolled up their sleeves, so for about six weeks they will be housing the "weed". "DUPLIN STORY" CONTINUED FROM FRONT to have his revised script complet ed in a few days and the copy will go to the mimeographer who will make copies for the actors, Again this year approximately 1000 people will have a direct hand in the showing with the actual cast counting nearly 800. Those who saw it last year can still feel their pulse beat when they recall Molly Bright, played by Edith Hin- ant, who a few months ago chan ged her name to Mrs. Edith Hinant Dickerson, singing "Yes, Indeed' with her strong soprano voice. Mrs. Dickerson, a Negro School Teacher in Duplin, almost stole the open ing phase of the story, so typical of Duplin and Eastern Carolina at this time of year, the tobacco housing scene. It is so realistic that those of us who have helped with "puttin' in tobacco" feel we are actually in the tobacco field. Mrs. Dickerson, along with all otner leading characters are ex pected to play their same roles. Last spring a survey was made of those in the cast last year and ap proximately 80 per cent stated they would like to be in it again. Interest is mounting throughout the county and by pageant time Du plin will be all a-stir as if we were celebrating our 200th Birthday again. What, with "The Lost Colony," "Common Glory," and "Unto These Hills", attracting attention in North Carolina throughout the summer, we know we have something just as good, just as thrilling, and just as historical as they have. In fact we'll challenge anyone to show us a scene that is as spine tickling as the one where the British Red Coats come marching over the hill during America's strugglefor in dependence. When' cannons roar, the men retreat, and smoke of bat tle clears away and quiet again settles on Colonial North Carolina, the observer relaxes in his seat with a sigh of relief. Yes, we'll challenge any of them, including Broadway, to outdo - the battle scenes. These scenes, are not on a stage, but actually, take ' place In a huge field to the side of the main stage. You actually see the battle. In fact, the "Battle of Rock- fish" scene was agreed on by every one who saw it as being worth the price of their ticket, and time to come to the Hampton D, Williams Una hat demanucd it. 1. Ion Uon a non-proat basis, but should a profit accrue, it will be turned over to the schools of Du plin County. Those who are giving their time and money In the pro duction are doing so because they believe here' In Duplin we have something that may live as long as "The Lost Colony" and other North Carolina pageants. : ' Park Naturalist ,- CONTINUED FROM FRONT the park does not have a naturalist. It is not necessary' to make ap pointments for guided study trips but Interested groups may do so by writing "Naturalist", Cliffs- of Neuse State Park, Rt. 2, Seven Springs,N. C. In addition to the naturalist, the Dark has now employed a refresh ment stand operator, Dick Mum- ford, from PikeviUe. Picnickers and sightseers may purchase cold drinks at regular prices on any afternoon, the ' stand remaining open as long as daylight permits. The refreshment stand also carries cigarettes, cigars, candy, chewing gum, paper plates and cups in ad dition to a line 01 souvenir novel ties. M. F.

LOST COLONY MAY GET REPLICAS OF OLD ENGLAND Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island, which already has the replicas of several early American buildings, may soon get some authenic struc tures of 16th Century England.. This would be In keeping with the historical significance of the site where English-speaking America had its beginning in the New World, according to Inglis Fletcher noted author of novels with an Albemarle region setting. Mrs. Fletcher's announcement came following the appearance of Norman Cordan, former Metropo litan Opera baritone and Secretary Oscar Chapman of the Department of the Interior as guest performers in the show this week. The Truman cabinet member speaking to the audience at inter mission said, "I would like to see some replicas pf old England built here. It would be in keeping with the hopeful future and desire that still lives In the hearts of the Am erican people."' His statement was not considered a commitment but it was a strong indication that Ft Raleigh may soon get improve ments from the Department of the Interior as it Is one of the Nation al Historic Sites of that govern mental agency. What Is true, simple and sincere is most congenial to man's nature. 1-2 Ton Pick-Up Lov Milesge Looks And Runs Lilieilew $800.00 ' TJoior Go. -1 Chrysler-Plymouth Dealer MOUNT OLIVE, N. C.
