The Duplin Times
Progress Sentinel Merge
Your paper comes to you this week with a new title and a new
format. The old and the new have joined together to produce a
better printed paper with more news coverage for our readers,
and a larger circulation for our advertisers ? a circulation that
covers Duplin, and news about your neighbors all over Duplin.
The Duplin Times, with 30 years experience and service to
Duplin County and The Progress Sentinel, only a year old, but
with modern offset printing methods, have merged to give you
the best from each.
Offioes will be maintained at Kenansvllle and at Rose Hill. The
combined staffs of the two offices will produce the new paper,
which means more employees to serve you.
The new paper will come to you each Thursday regardless of
which Weekly you subscribed to originally. Some may get two
papers, one from each mailing list. Adjustments and corrections
will be made as quickly as possible.
We feel that this merger is a step forward in the progress of
Duplin County, and that you will like it. We invite you to write
to us and give us your views and comments on the merger.

HorseElectrocuted
Rider Escapes
Chloe Johnson, daughter of
Mr and Mrs. S.O. Johnson.v
of Rose Hill, was riding her?
saddle horse Sunday afternoon
in the vacinlty of the Nash
Johnson & Sons Farms feed
mill when the horse struck an
electric wire and was instant
ly killed.
The mill has two largeilood
lights In the mill yard power
ed by electric cables run un
derground. Chloe rode her
horse between these two light
poles and the horse mired in
the grouM bver one o? me
cables. His foot evidently broke
the conduit or the hoof cut the
virfte to make contact there in
tre ground softened by heavy
rain. Death for the horse was
instantaneous.
Chloe escaped serious Injury
perhaps because she could have
been insulated from the elec
tricity by the saddle and sad
dle blanket and the stirrups
made of wood. She received
some shock and was, needless
to say, frightened by the nar
row brush wtth death.
