' He Just Didn't Want A Preacher The vote was 111 for and one against calling the Rev. Harold Smith as the new pastor of the Beulaville First Baptist Church. Over dinner tables and in little groups which fathered after the Rev. Smith had been called, the conversation cen tered around "who cast the one dissenting vote." At the Clinton Campbell home durirg the dinner hour, the crnversation was "Who" could it have been." For some reason the Camp bell's e 1 e ve n-year-old son, ' James Emery, was unusually quiet. After a while he spoke up. "I voted for the preacher not to come," he informed. Shocked, . Mr. and Mrs. Cam bell wanted to know why. "Well," he replied, "I don't want any preacher. I'm just . tired of going to church every Sunday. But I'm sorry now 1 voted for him net to be our preacher." On the phone after dinner, young James .Emery explain ed to, his new pastor, Rev. Smith! that he was the one who voted against him. And the preacher assured Young James Emery that he understood. Now the vote is unanimous. .'

The ! wind hart taken a direct course ri,;ht through town. It started at Aunt Cora Moore's house, who seemed to have the most damage as her Toof was taken completely off, ran a direct route to Colon Hoi land's and Phil Kretsrh's house, crossed the road and took part of I the roof from Wood row Brinson's home, back of Mrs. Pete Quinn's home where it cut pine trees off about ten feet from the ground 1 flu match stems, passo 1 on through to Jack Sitterson's heme and took half of his roof, jumped over Mrs. Sallie Ingrain's home and hit my yard full blast,- crossed, the high way missing Hal Quinn's honvX took the posts and part of the roof from Amos Quinn's home, hit a small building in Mrs. Hazel Scot's yard and disappeared at it hc-.J j come.

Hut-it has taken a little longer to get the people of Kenansville cal-v. ed, down and it will take a little longer to get yards cleaned up, roofs patched and die debris haul- ed away. But it could have been so much worse! It was the strangest thing how it just went dowB.jpne side of the highway, and on 'the other side you would not have known there had been a wind ex cept for a few small twit s which were blown across the street. I have a very good friend who spends half of her time loo' ing for her bill fold. No matter what hap pens, she has lost her bill -fold, and find it she must. But you would think that she would keep up with it at a wedding-but not Alice. She goes to Raleigh on Friday to get all preparations ready for her dau ghters wedding g on Saturday. She had a million things to do and ('id them in her efficient way-but when everyone has to leave to go to the church-what happens? The bill fold is lost. I failed to get a report on how long the wedding was held up. Mrs. Paul Ingram was spending her morning last Saturday Rooking a pound cake. She is a migJrfy good cook and has good luck With her pound cakes, but on this Saturday morning, there happened to be a teri.fic sound barrier, which - re sulted in shaking a lid off the boiler on her stove, an4 a FLAT pound cake.
