With the fall of the year upon
us and the continuous beauty of
Pamlico County’s coastal area,
it is an ideal time of the year to

mean nothing else than the fall
of the year is here.

Pamlico County Arts Council
and the Pamlico County Parks
and Recreation Department will
co-sponsor the Pamlico County
Arts and Crafts Festival. The

from 12:00 noon until dark, It is
opened to all residents of
Pamlico County and no entry fee

On Tuesday, October 5th, at
7:30 p.m. in the Courthouse
Annex Auditorium, the Pamlico
County Historical Association
Meeting was called to order by
President Larry Prescott.
Twelve members were
presented.
A report of the activities of the
Museum Committee was
presented in place of a more
formal program. Co-Chairman
Dorothy Avent noted that
acquisitions are still being
received. The group was also
advised that there was two
“Hands On ” exhibits now
displayed—an 1868 Voter
Registery and a Free Man’s
Paper. The fossils which were
forwarded to the Smithsonian
Institution have been received
and should be returned in the
near future. The Committee is
working to place a sign in front
of the Old Records Building
identifying the museum.
Following a brief business
meeting, members were ap
prised that the next scheduled
meeting would be the Annual
Meeting of the Association. This
meeting will be on January 25,
1977, and all members are urged
to attend. Interested persons
should contact Larry Prescott or
Mrs. Ruth (Russell) Lee.
The meeting was then ad

present toured the museum.

Miss Debbie Weston spent the
weekend here fishing and
crabbing with her parents from
Winston-Salem. Her sister, age
eight, is in the third grade and
has a baby sister 20 months old,
which she loves but the baby
talks too much amd messes up
all her Barbee Doll clothes and
strings things out of her closet
and just messes up everything;
pulls the cat’s tail, throws things
in the bathroom and does
everything, and won’t mind.
Won Prizes
Betty Stuart and Annie Mary
Keleher won prizes at the
Quaker Neck Ladies Invitational
Golf Tournament. Millie
Brothers and Bubbles Frazier

Ms. Margaret Daniels of New Bern shown with
Secretary of State Iliad Eure and Attorney

but declare they’ll never miss another.
Bicentennial...
(Continued from page 1)
Bicentennial medals over the
past week but Barbara reports
that she still has a few of the
silver medals. Please keep these
in mind as a gift item. Proceeds
will be used for the narrative
history and the musuem.
Have you visited Firs!
Citizens in Bayboro to see the
new art which is on display?
Fantastic, wonderful, can’t be
beat are all adjectives used to
describe each exhibit. I cer
tainly would not want to be a
judge in a contest between these
artists whcih the county
recreation department and bank
are honoring. They have made
excellent choices and you really
should plan to see the display of
Pamlico County talent. It is
wonderful, fantastic, can’t be
beat.
Several items for the history
were received this week.
Perhaps it is because I
remember so many of my
parents’ generation commenting
about the Depression that I
found the following item
especially interesting.
“During the Depression of the
I930’s, farmers were hard
pressed to make a living. Among
the many plans put in effect by
President F. D. Roosevelt was
the “CORN-HOG” program. The
feeling of one housewife is shown
in the following poem.
The CORN-HOG Check
0, it’s fun to see the mon when
it comes!
It’s been spent so many times
in your dreams that it seems
You will never see the mon if it
comes.
All records must be looked up,
All data must be writ down
Then you mail the contract in
And just wait and wait and
wait—
Patience! Keep your courage
up.
It will come
And then like me—
You’ll be happy as can be for
you see
You can always use the mon
when it comes!

in summer 1933
Emma A. Whealton”
Does this bring back
memories? Some of the com
ments I have heard over the
years about this time in our
history make it seem like money
was really hard to come by and
as written in the poem, when it
did come, you always had a
place to put it.
Mrs. Whealton also shared
some background material
pertaining to Mesic. The
following is extracted from this
information.
“MESIC—A community was
settled here before the
Revolution. A fact known by a
Land Grant having been given
Francis Jones by the Lords
Proprietors. This land forms the
northeast boundary of the Z. V.
Whealton land. There was no
post office here until after the
formation of Pamlico County.
My grandfather, Shadrac R.
Messick, was appointed the first
postmaster and the office was
given his name. Until then
Vandemere served our people.
Of course, folks did not expect
mail every day.
One day my grandfather took
his 4 or 5 year old son with him
on a trip to Vandemere. He left
him at the post office, telling him
to get the mail while he was
gone.The little boy said to the
postmaster, “Give me Pa’s
mail.” The postmaster asked,
“What’s your pa’s name?” After
thinking a bit, the little fellow
“Shadrac, Meshack, and
Abendego.” (Years later Uncle
Will told me this after being
amused by the singing of a group
on the radio,)
Those early settlers were a
hardy group . . . they cleared
farms, built homes, raised stock,
chicken, hogs and cattle. Hides
were tanned for shoes. Wool
from sheep and cotton had to be
