The Warsaw and Calypso* schools closed Tuesday afternoon but will open Monday if weather permits. Beulaville and Rose Hill shut their doors Wednes day afternoon, also with the in tention of reopening Monday, and while definite information was not available it is under stood that the Magnolia and Faison schools also closed yes terday afternoon. Thismarks the fourth Or fifth time the Warsaw and Calypso schools have been forced to postpone their class schedule as a result of adverse weather. Wallace and Kenansville schools will try to continue Operation, the local school using the short schedule. NEAR CENTENARIAN DIES AT HOME IN MAQNOLIA Aunt Dinah Parrish, the old est citizen of Magnolia and per haps the oldest person in Dup lin county, died at her home was buried in New Fangled Telephone System Starts Operation In This City At Seven O’clock Friday Morning The dial telephones Are now installed.,. 1 For weeks we’ve reported the progress of a new telephone set-up in Wallace, along with other towns in the county, and now the work is nearly through.! When you wake up in the morn ing and get to your telephone you can dial and talk'. But don’t get up too early, as the lines will not be cut in until seven o’clock, and that’s early en ough for any of us. With the dial system all you have, to do is twist the dial (read the directions in the ad on the back page of this issue) and in a couple of moments con versation can begin. Long dist ance calls from Wallace, as well as other Duplin towns, will be transacted through the Warsaw station. The lone op erator will be stationed there. Dial telephones are a far cry I ■ ■■ ' .— 1 1 from tin cans tied to a waxed cord, and, they are a pretty good1 bit away from the wall-hang-J •jng, baOter^-operatad, turm j the-crank telephones we use until Friday. These, along with other everyday and seem ingly commonplace implements, are significant of the progress of Duplin County. The system is already in op eration in Kenattsville, Rose Hill and Magnolia. Wallace and Warsaw will be cut in at the same time. Cutting in the telephones and giving equip ment a final checking over has been the main work during the week, although installation has been in progress since July 4, 1935. Snow and other adverse weather conditions hive pre vailed and hindered installa tion, but now the dial system is both here and yours. ALL-STARS SCHEDULE TWO REVENGE BATTLES The Wallace All-Stars, one of the best of the crack basket ball teams developed in this section, have placed themselves in a tough spot for next week’s schedule. Manager Jim Cur 'rie announced yesterday the team would play Atkinson here Monday night, Elizabethtown here Wednesday night, and Kenney Educators in Golds boro Thursday night. Both At kinson and Elizabethtown have lost to the All-Stars, but it is understood that they are com b^ligri^tepkihg for revenge. School Bus Case Heard Monday Captain M. M. Piggott, Unit ed States Coast Guard, retired, was recognized under a $100.00 bond for his appearance for trial at the next term of Duplin County Court following a hear ing here Monday before Mag istrate A. M. McClung on a charge of violating the motor vehicle laws. j A truck driven by the Cap tain collided with a school bus operated by B. E. Rivenbark on Highway 40 South of Tin City Tuesday morning of last week. Two children were slightly in jured. The 'Piggott truck is alleged to have struck' the school bus as it started to make a left turn near the home of F. Futrell, and the^rgument in the hear ing was mainly concerned with whether or not the school' bus [driver gave sufficient warning | of his intention to turn across j the Highway. Children on the [bus, and the driver, contended [the signal flag was in position, i while a son of the defendant j testified he did not see the flag I go up but declared it was up before the truck and bus col lided. j Several people have already • been convicted in Duplin Courts jof reckless driving in connec tion with school busies, and Jhave been fined accordingly. i —--■ HENDERSON ANNOUNCES JANUARY COLLECTIONS Tax Collector I.

Duplinites Suffer Variety Weather i Not only does Duplin County boast the Wprld’s Largest Strawberry Market, and pret ty girls, and one of the richest truck producing sections in the country, but it can easily lay claim to some of the “orneriest” weather imaginable. Late Wednesday night the third snow of winter sifted down before fuel dealers had time to answer their telephones. On Friday night, according to Dr. Charles Dearing, Tom Cam eron and the Government ther mometer at the Test Farm, the i mercury dropped to three be low, marking this the coldest weather this section has had since ’way back yonder. In de finite contrast Duplinites start ed kicking off their blankets and shedding their overcoats Monday night and Tuesday when the same mercury climb ed to 65 degrees. Now latest radio reports state that we must again get ready for another possible snow, and most certainly some more cold weather. A slight sleet Wednesday morning was warning enough. But in all this temperamental weather there’s one consolation. We’ve | been told that William H. 0. C. Groundhog did not see his sha dow last Sunday.

The origin of tne blaze is not definitely known, [but it is assumed that it re sulted from spontaneous com bustion in a broom closet which Mrs. Taylor opened and found *gV*toped in flames. Snow and frozen pipes great ly interfered with efforts to | save the home or the furnish ings, and the fire truck was of no help since it was also froz en. Much furniture and sev eral doors and windows on the bottom floor were saved, but the furnishings and clothing in the upper story, which was oc cupied by Principal and Mrs. Lucian Fussell, were totally de stroyed. The home, one of the most attractive in Magnolia, was completed in the fall. Insur ance partially covered the dam age. Since the fire the Taylors have been living in the home of “Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Williams and the Fussells have been staying with Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hamilton.
