' John ttdl Buys Allen Inizfence Agency Here; Changes toe Of firm By J. R. Grady The M. F. Allen Insurance Agen cy of Kenansville, established late in 1941, was just anoiner new Dull ness for Kenansville that opened all prophesied odds that it 'couldn't make the grade.' In those days this seemed to he the bi-word for Ken ansville when suggestion for an other new business was made. But the new Insurance agency, estab lished by M. F. Allen, Jr., was born with a determination and a be lief in Kenansville and lust as ev ery other new establishment here durine the past fifteen years, born with a faith and a belief, it has grown ta almost unbelievable pro positions. Today use m. r. Alien Insurance Agency has grown to be come one of the larger agencies in the county doing a general insur ance business. With announcement a few days ago that Mr. Allen was leaving Ken ansville and moving to Jacksonville, where he will become executive vice president of a new bank being organized there, his insurance bus! ness immediately became a luscious plum that many wanted to bite. In terviewing Mr. Allen this week the Times learned that Just as he had an abiding faith in. Kenansville in 1941 he has that same faith in John B. Hall, a native son of Kenansville, who went with his Insurance Agen cy only last March. John is well known here and liked by everyone who knows him. Allen said he hadn't been associated with him but a very short time when he dis covered that John was a person one could depend on, one who was deep ly interested In the business and one who is interested in the growth and development of Kenansville and Duplin County. With this faith in Hall, Mr. Allen ignored all other offers or portended offers and sold his business to Hall, lock stock and barrell, including the office fix tures. He ' feels, and the Times agrees, that this act has brought back to Kenansville -as a perman ent citizen one who is destined to go far in the business world of Kenansville and Duplin County. He? -Sheriff -Settles , Business; More Hew Ralph Miller, new High Sheriff of Duplin County, bad been ia of fice less than twenty -four hours when he raided two stills In Glisson Township on the North side of Goshen. The stills were of cop- tier construction, and were report ed to the sheriff's of flee. Neither of the stills which were destroyed by the officers were in operation. One had an estimated capacity of 150 gallons and the other one of about 50 gallons. The raiding om- cers were Gurman Powell who has been appointed a temporary deputy, Murray Byrd, special deputy, and v. a, juc&ay, ouice deputy. Saturday evening, Deputies Oscar Houston and uurman voweii raioea a still near Warsaw of about 1 bar rel capacity. The still was broken up and destroyed. v"" Sunday, the sheriff was called to pick up an Inmate from Dlx Hill who bad escaped early that morn ing. . John D. Marshburn whose home is in Wallace has escaped reg ularly, and had not been picked up Tuesday. He was described as OlUfvtlvC cj D JOHN B. HALL Mr. Hall has decided to change the name -of the business to the John Hall Insurance Agency and his office will continue to be locat ed in the same office occupied by Mr. Allen. John is the son of Mrs. Delia Whaley and was born and reared here. In 1942 he graduated from Kenansville High, following which he served 4 years in the Navy. Leaving Uncle Sam he at tended college at Mercer College in Georgia and E.C.C. in Greenville. Since that time he has worked with Leo Jackson's! Store here and for several months prior to going with the Allen Insurance firm he sold vacuum cleaners throughout this area. He is married to the former Carolyn McRanie of Georgia. They have three .small children, Carol, Sharon ani Randy. At present they are living in Warsaw out of neces sity but are anxious to move to Kenansville as soon as someone can offer tbem living quarters. ; We call your attention to the an nouncements on inside pages cernlng the change in the business.
