The Old Ballance Barn
By Paul "Snooh" White
A salute to our two Perquimans County Sheriff,
Julian "Llttleman" Brought on and Walter "Cracker" Harrison.
Two real good nervy gentlemen that can get plenty tough. .
The way they enforce the law words are no comparison.
They are good both ways as an officer and as a man.
They can be your best friend and still get you if you break the' law.
If we had more like them today in our great land,
Our government, State and County. would be better oft by far.
On Tuesday, August the Twelfth, nineteen Hundred and sixty Nine,
Two desperados shot an officer and stole Nancy Jean Owens from her
home at Suffolk Vs.
They out ran the law and fled across the North Carolina state Line.
But after a wild goose chase was captured near Lynch' Corner, N.C.
the next day.
The North Carolina lawmen were on their tall all thru that night.
As early next morning they were searching the fields, the swamps,
the woods and all the places.
Even dtliens from far and near were searching all their might.
There was a fighting determination to catch them on their faces.
Sometime the next day they came across the old Ballance Barn.
The crowd hesitated but someone had to go in there first.
Knowing that their life was In danger, but they didn't care a darn.
And the ones that went in there first was our Perquimans County
Sheriff. ,
The lawmen were afraid to shoot on account of the little girl.
And some had said that going in there was a very dangerous mistake.
But it goes to show you that we still have brave men in our world.
And to be a good lawman thats the chance that you have to take.
Tes, our Perquimans County Sheriff were those two brave men,
That went In and brought little Nancy Jean Owens out by her arm.
Then great rejoicing in Virginia and North Carolina then begin,
Because Thank God Nancy Jean Owens was unharmed.
The two desperados were captured and put lntothe Pasquotank County
And thanks goes out to everybody that help to run them down.
That was the end of those desperados' trail.
So hats off to "Llttleman" and "Cracker" the two brave lawmen of
our County and town.
Course they are eritlied a little for arresting drunks up and down
the public highway.
That's endangering everybody life as well as their own.
These Sheriffs are under oath to up hold the law all the way.
So you can raise your children to see them grown.
How would the critic feel if the drunk would run over their little
brother.
Or ran Into your car (hat was earring your family and you were
driving alright.
You could lose your family even your daddy and mother,
Which would leave on the road a mighty bloody sight.
I know what they would say, Oh why couldn't that man have been
stopped, .
Before he had a chance to leave such a bloody mess.
Where were the state Police, the Sheriff or the city Cop,
That let this man kill those victims as I was driving my best.
It is not anymore dangerous to walk down the road with a machine
'gun :
And point it at people with it loaded at everybody that you see.
Than it is to drive an automobile with a belly full of whiskey, Qln and
"" Rum.
it Is the same thing anyway it may be.
So let's quit erltiting ouf lawmen, for their duty they have to do.
And back them up one hundred per cent.
What 1 have said about breaking the law is really true.
i know from sell experience.

Unwanted Guest
Hiring oooler fall days, home
owners may find they have new
boarders mice.
"Mice are truly unwanted
guests," points out William Oul
ley, extension pesticide informa
tion specialist, North Carolina
State University, "for losses due
to mice in homes can be consid
erable' Small numbers of mice can
usually be removed by using snap
traps, the specialist notes, Gulley
suggests placing traps along
walls between objects or by boles
so the trigger Is in the route of
travel '
One of the most attractive baits
for traps is peanut butter) other
baits Include bacon rind, meat,
cheese or soft candy.
Traps should be checked, emp
tied and resent once or twice a
day, the specialist adds.
Poisonous chemicals are help
ful in controlling large numbers
of mice in outbuildings or a gran
ary. Warfarin bait Is perhaps the
least hazardous chemical. Commercially-prepared
strychnine
mouse grain Is also effective, but
calls for careful disposal of the
dead mice since they could be a
potential hazard to pets, the spec
ialist warns.
Since food and shelter are
musts for mice setting up house
keeping, Gulley suggests you eli
minate food supplies and biding
places.
"Seal off or screen holes in
walls, foundations and floors," be
suggests, "and keep food In
mouse-proof containers."
Once a general housekeeping,
trapping and poisoning program
is In progress, control of mice
is fairly complete, Gulley ob
serves. Announce Birth
