J>Mm 1918 Continued Prom Front Page disappointing tms year ior many of the poultry producers as ft was in 1967; however, it was the third quarter of this year before commercial egg produc ers started breathing some re lief after a period of eighteen months of depressed eggprices. The poultry industry Tn Duplin County has grown from almost nothing in fourteen years to over thirty million dollars gross in come in 1967. This is a 17 percent increase over 1966. Poultry has made a real impact in the economy of Duplin Cou nty as it now makes up approx imately 45 percent of the total gross agricultural income in Duplin County; whereas, inl965 it was only 40 percent. The expansion of the poultry industry has meant more goods can be bought and sold, thus, benefitting businesses as well as those who are actually en gaged in production. This is a home-grown industry that has provided better job opportuni ties and a higher standard of living for its people. This is a fine example of what local people can do through hard work and initiative and a de sire to make things better.

Anything that was for the promotion of Duplin County saw Bob in the middle kicking, and quite often coming out bruised with both friends and enemies. But during all of this time The Duplin Tunes was the mouth-piece which car ried the message to the people. At his untimely death in May of 1968, his wife, Mrs. Rutn P. Grady became Editor and Publisher of The Duplin Times. For the past ten years she has operated the paper which has steadily grown. Eventhough the paper has not been as colorful as it was in the years in which Bob was "Editor and Chief", it has been a solid. conservative paper. In the year 1963 The Duplin Times and the Progress Sentinel, a weekly paper inRose Hill, merged and the process of printing was changed to "Off set". This has made a much better looking paper than the old method. In the 10 years of Mrs. Grady's newspaper operation, Duplin County has grown so fast, and so many new develop ments have taken place that the paper has almost had to be a "Chamber of Commerce Mouth Piece". In the past ten years Duplin has seen several Industries come into the area, new businesses spring up, old buildings replaced by new ones, housing developments, restor ation of Liberty Hall and many, r many otner Developments.
