she was not and Harrel inquired as
to her whereabouts. Gertie In

Seeing his ... opportunity for one
great night, Harrell proposed to
her: He made no mention of the

'LeRoy Simmons, president of the
Duplin County Farm Bureau this
morning announced a called meet
ing of all membership campaign
workers and everyone who is in
terested for Tuesday night, Oct.

Building in Kenansville. The pur
pose of this meeting is to canvass
the membership workers and com
pile a report to be given in Ra'eigh
Et a meeting of the S'a'e Farm
Bureau on Wsdnescl.-.y i 'ght Oct
ober 15lh
Mr. Simmons says ihe drive in
Duplin is lagging. He believes the
county will reach and go beyond
its goal and says if necessary the
drive, may be extended beyond the
dates set in order to reach that
goal. Duplin has one of the lar
gest potential memberships in the
state and Farm Bureau leaders
are expecting it to go over the
top as it did in the Tobacco Refer
endum. The future of the farmer, like
al! other trades and organization,
defends on proper organization
and cooperation, he said. The
farmer's place now has reached
the level of specialization and in
this age of science and advance
ment the farmers must pull to
gether to hold themselves out
front. After all, said Simmons,
the world is dependant on the
farmer and with proper coopera
tion among the farmers they can
demand what is rightfully theirs.
Mr. Simmons is anxious for as
many Duplin farmers who will to
attend the state meeting in Ra
leigh. Mr. Allan B. Kline, Presi
dent of the American Farm Bu
reau will be present and speak.
It is a rare occasion, he said, for
the farmers of this section to have
a chance to see and hear in per
son the president of their organi
zatlon speak. Mr. Simmons will
furnish free transportation to 13
farmers who wish to attend. The
meeting will be held next Wednes
day night at 8 o'clock in the Ball
room of the Sir Walter Hotel in Ba
leleh. - Blocks
Beulaville motorists are riding
hlffh wUc And handsome now
not too fast though since the
town fathers went into a huddle
with the Powell Bill money and
came out with 36 new street blocks
paved. Mayor Stokely Bostic talk
as happily over it as a kid would
over his first stick of red candy.
After studying over the prospects
they found that if the property
owners in each block would assume
half the paving cost the town could
take care of the other half plus
the intersection paving and the
town would be pretty well paved.
On Monday of last week road
forces began pouring asphalt and
on Monday of this week they wound
up with 36 blocks or nearly 3 milf s
of new hard surface in Beulaville.
Mayor Bostic said this just about
paves all streets in town except
a few back alleys and the streets
in Negro Town. They hope to make
the job 100 per cent complete be
fore too long off.
