J. R. GRADY.
When the righteous are In authority, the people rejoice:
: But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
. , Proverbs 29:2
OLD LAND MARKS MOVE ON
"The moving finger writes, and having writ move's on .'. ."
and so old landmarks must make way for progress. Fifteen
years ago Kenansvllle was hardly more than : a crossroads.
Had It not been for the court house and jail one could hardly
have said there was a Kenansvllle. Today as Duplin marches
forward towards greater days .its county seat town moves,
with that progress. ' , .
;. Today nostalgia is In the air as we look out and see the
three old Sycamore trees, that once were the pride of the side
walk club in Kenansvllle, shed their last leaves and are pulled
up by the roots. No longer will we see Coy Kennedy sitting
on the bench beside the old barber shop (which was burned
a few months ago) chewing his tobacco, whlttlin' his sticks
' and telling tales of old days in Duplin and his experiences
with his coon and hound dogs. Eurle Johnson will have to
find another shady spot to tell about experiences In his long
life as one of Duplin's most reputable house painters and tell
the boys about his brother and the doings In Miaml'when he
visits the land of Sunshine. Bob Dail with his market apron
will have to look another direction to' find shade when he
wants to cdol off In the summer and Slim Dail can no longer
park his car under the shade of those old Sycamores. These
old trees have been as much a part of the business life of Ke
nansvllle as has the drug store, the gossiping center for the
ladles, Which was saved from destruction by those very same
trees in the fire last spring. Not only can the drug store be
thankful for those trees but so can every building on that side
of the street for when the old Dail store, the barber shop and
'Tap" Sitterson's office burned these trees helped confine
the fire to these buildings. , It was under Chest trees ;that
hundreds of Duplinites who came into 'conflict with the law
would cool off as Justice Sitterson would hear their cases. .'
Yes, the old Sycamores are gone. New trees could be
planted (but they never will) in this spot, and with them goes a
very intimate part of old Kenansvllle. Lovers of trees here
look at the open space and the tune of that familiar song and
poem by Joyce Kilmer comes to mind: ' ,r
... : .. '- f.: ,
.. '.' -i 1 W , ' v
: I think that I'll never see
A poem lovely as a tree. S ' I
i A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed , 1
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day ' '
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in summer wear
v A nest of robins In her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain "
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me ' ,.
But only God can make a tree.

There was no ovation for the Ma
rine with 11 years service and who
fought in. four campaigns. He was
greeted by an overjoyed wife and
an official of the Rose' Hill Ameri
can Legion and Wallace VFW posts.
It was a simple and impressive
greeting. That's the way. he wanted
it j'.'"3- -if
"All I did oyer ' there was my
job and there were a lot of fellows
who did a lot more than I did,"
said the. modest leatherneck,: ''and

Camp -Lejeune, left California, for
Inchon, Korea on August 18 -with

He left Korea yiaPanl American
airways on ildiioween and arrived
Tuesday ''The day' I left every
thing looked good," he said. "I did
n't get any news about j the Com
munist Invasion until I was on my
way home."' .- -f- 4 -
Sgt. Bailey, who Was ii the Sol
omon islands and-JfeCllrlton cam
paigns during Wojg War II with

His mind was still fresh of those

wayside, shot down 'and possibly
later nutcnerea. .
A native of .Jackson, Miss., Sgt.
