rican eels take one year to get

Received a picture this morning
which was too late to get in the pap
re. It is a picture of Ward Carlton
of Warsaw and Bill Bartlett of
Bowden loaded down with a string
of mullets which they caught off
Barnacle Bill's pier on Topsail Is
land. If the mullet are runnig now,
I guess it will be rather hardi to lo
cate a fisherman in Duplin County.
Everyone of them will be sneaking
off to fish for a spell.
The visiting Methodist Ministers
have a time getting fed in Kenans
ville. During last year's revival, it
was the minister's fault. They were
invited to a certain home for din
ner. The preacliers got mixed up
with "which house", so they went
in the wrong house, took their seat
and waited for dinner. The Bap
tist lady was in a state of confusion,
and after much straightening out,
she sent the ministers to the right
house. ,
But this year it was a different
story 1 The ministers arrived at the
right house for dinner. The lady of
the house was out in the yard rak
ing leaves and graciously invited
them in the house and chatted a-,
way. The ministers looked around
and sniffed no food, and they fig
ured something was amiss. In short

Dimes Creating Demands-Tar Heel Beef
According to David J. Kilpatrick,
Chairman og the Duplin County
Cattle tor Slaughter Referendum
Committee, beef consumption has
increased from 80 pounds to 83.4
pounds per person in North Caro
lina during the last three years.
Considering that there are about 4.5
million people in North Carolina,
these Dimes have promoted the sale
of a lot of beef.
Mr. David John Kilpatrick and
other members of his committee,
J%c\\ Kornegay, Dr. Donald Taylor,
Joe Williams, Calvin Mercer, Jim
Smith and Herbert Best urges all
farmers who have cattle, to vote
in this referendum on April 9, 1983
..The referendum is whether to
continue, or not to continue a Ilk.
per head assessment on all cat
< tie sold for slaughter that is sold
for more than $20 per head. This
Mcfper hcdd far used to promote the
salt and use of North Carolina beef.
The N. C. Catlemen's Association
has used the money colected in
the past to tell the story of North
Carolina beef through Newspaper,
radio, TV, and through personal
contacts at all levels of the beef in
dustry, from production - through
consumption.
One of the objects is to get people
to realize that, grade for grade.
North Carolina beef is just as good,
if not better than western beef.
Mr. Kilpatrick says, that all per
sons who share in the proceeds
from the sale of cattle for slaughter
are eligible to vote in this referen
dum, and all members of the com
mittee encourage everyone to vote.
They may vote at any of several
polling places that will be set . up in
the county. "This is the cattlemen's
own program to help themselves
and they would all vote as they see
fit." stated Mr. Kilpatrick.
