The new completion for the DupUn Jail is January 1st. 1979. .. And the now completion date for the Courthouse construction is January 10, 1979. . . The construction company wanted until Match 10 to finish the Courthouse, but the Commissioners rejected the 90-day extension, but did allow a 30-day period.. . . But if aH goes as it has in the past, these dates will end lip as just another laughing matter. . .Perhaps the Town of Warsaw set an example that should be followed... They refused to pay for the over 134-day-late building. A settle ment was made out of court, and Warsaw was awarded $16,000 for the delay... It may be interesting to note that it was predicted in July of this year that the ABC stores tecsted in Duplin County would sell half-a-mitfion bottles of whiskey. . .That is a little over one bottle per month for every man, woman, and child. . . . However, not aH sold in Duplin is consumed by Dupilnites. . . And under the same guidelines, d^fes... "The summer work is aH over. . I didn't have time to do any visiting in the summer.. Ill have this fish fry to say howdy, and I am sorry 1 was too busy to visit." . *. .With this thought in mind. Bo and Sally Herring go about inviting well over a hundred people to a backyard fish fry - an old fashioned get-together with good food and fellowship. . .Not a fund raiser. . .Not a political venture... Just s good time thing. . .In fact, I was quite happy to go to a gathering one more time and that newly-elected politician in the long-sleeved white shirt with tie didn't show up shaking hands and potitk&ing. . . . Yes. sir. Bo and Sally are something else. . .1 mean, how many people do you know who will spend their time and money to have a big get-together like that when they are not running for a political office or some thing. . .Ia years pact, things Hke this happened, but not in the selfish world of today... Guess who I saw at Bo's fish fry. . .Hilda Brown. . .My oid girl friend of many years tgo. . .In fact, this was the first time 1 had seen her since I was IS years old, and that was several fish frys ago. . . As 1 think back, our relationship in school was very similar to the Peanuts characters', Charlie Brown and the little red-haired girl.. .The most we ever did was hold hands en. the school bus and pass notes. . . But, oh my goodness, what was in those notes. . .SaHy Herring had told me Hilda and her husband were planning to attend the fish fry, and I spotted her earlier in the night when die and her husband came in... I was not completely sure it was her, and the fellow she was with was a couple of ' heads taller than I. . .Later 1 during the night, we met. . . We j were both returning for second j helpings, and Sally came up and ? said, "Have you and Hilda met ' tonight?" . . Our eyes met. . We smiled. . . I got fed in the * face. . .One might think two, long-ago-friends meeting for the first time in ipaia years, fem-j reached above then! and shook hands. . . greeted one another, got our fish, and returned to our mates. . . we did get together later and talk. . . And Donna never left my side... We talked ?about what we had done since we had last seen one another, not about old times. . . A memorable evening. ? .Thanks to Sally. Bo, Hilda. . . Woops. Donna, I meaau^ I thought when the Archie Bunker doll was introduced to the market and people bought it for their kids, this would be the doll to end aU dolls. . . But not so. . . Thus far on TV, I have seen dolls that brush their teeth. . . talk, get tickled, wet their diapers.. .One you hold on your shoulder and burp. . .And one that has a diaper rash... I guess nest year there will be one that thrbws up all over you. . . With test-tube babies, who knows what will be nest? . . Son-of . a-Gun. .. , Jail&Courtnouse Construction . ? \ *' ?] Extensions Granted By Board ' At the Adjourned session on Tuesday, November 7, of the Board of Commissioners, a letter from J.T.

Sculptor William Keen's three-dimensional bronze work, "Three Circles," was selected the model for the 1978 award. Graham was selected, along with four others, from 56 nominated for Significant contributions to the cultural resources of local communities. Governor Hunt commented, "The abundance of cultural resources available to North Carolinians is one of our state's greatest riches, contributing immensely to our quality of life. Our leadership in the arts and humanities is also an important reason for the excellent health of our economy. It is a simple fact that a good quality of life in a community or state is good for business. To a great extent, it is the contributions of our business community that have brought North Carolina nationwide recognition as the 'State of the Arts.' I formed the Governor's Business Council on the Arts and Humanities to reinforce the natural partnership between our business and cultural communities. I hope that these awards will stimulate the growth of this relationship." The public is invited to visit Graham at Graham Drug Company in Wallace to see the award.
