Bears On Presbyterians

ington, N c., so I had to do some
-csearcn on this subject.
Around 1910, King James gave
grants Of land in Ireland to English
and Scots, hoping by these settle
nlents he could peaceanly persuade
the Irish to accept him as head of
the church, as we'll as their king.
But the plan did not succeed, and
today the Irish are Catholics, and
last week they objected TO !presi-
dent Roosevelt including them in
the war zone, as they are not at war
with Germany.
Some of these Scots married a
little with the Irish, which made
what we call the Scotch-Irish They
had much trouble in Ireland, in that
their preachers and services were
required to be under the English
next century they returned to Scot
settled all along the coast from
Massachusetts south, starting the
Presbyterian churches; then as they
moved westward, they nave .tarted
their churches over the whole
United States.
Around 1850 to 1850, some of
these disciples of Rev Samuel Da-
vies, of Hanover and Caroline
counties in Virginia, moved to the
Granville Orange section, starting
Nutbush church at James MitchelPs
home, now the Herbert Taylor
place, in 1854, and starting Grassy
Creek Presbyterian church at the
home of Howell Lewis, ancestor Of

Post Office
Thanksgiving
Also Divided

The Henderson post office will
split its observance Of Thanksgiving
this year, it was stated today by w.
C. Stainback, assistant postmaster.
The miX-up comes about by reason
of the fact that the State Of North
Carolina, by proclamation of Gov
crnor Hoey, is observing the usual
last Thursday in November as
Thanksgiving, instead of the third
Thursday, as designated by Presi-
lent Roosevelt.
On tomorrow, the Roosevelt
Thanksgiving day, the post office
Will operate as usual, except that
mere will be no rural deliveries.
-ity delivery will be made morning
nc afternoon, all windows will be
open, and all mail posted in boxes
and dispatched outside. This will be
exactly reversed on the Hoey-
North Carolina Thanksgiving a
week hence, on Thursday Novem-
Jer 80, when rural carriers will
make their usual rounds. but city
carriers will not, and all windows
At the post office will be closed for
the entire day.
Thanksgiving and Christmas days
are the only days in the year of the
many holidays the post office OBJ
serves, when not even the stamp
and general delivery windows are
kept open.
