Saint Nicholas
Was Bishop OF Myro

Saint Nicholas lived some 1900
years ago in Turkey where he was
for II years Bishop Of Myra. To-
day. the place is known as Demre,
province of Antalya where his
church may stih be found and one
may yet hear Of the generous acts
which made his life great legend
and gave him the Santa Claus
character we all know today.
1t is said that Saint Nicholas, a
man OF great virtue and piety, be-
came the patron saint Of boys
when he restored to life the sons
of rich Asiatic. who had been
murdered by q robber-innkeeper
while they were enroute to school
at Athens. II is said that he was
warned Of the crime in a dream.
but was unable To reach the inn
in time to prevent the murders.
He restored the boys to life
through prayer and the murderer
confessed his crime.

Leon Hardee's
Barn Destroyed
BY Fire Tuesday

The final curing of the season
spelled fire for Leon Hardee of
the Mt. Vernon community last
Tuesday.
The fire was first noticed about
4 p. m. Flames fed by kerosene
and famed by a stiff southeast
wind consumed the tobacco barn
and its contents in little more than
an hour.
Hardee and nearby neighbors
were able to salvage some tobacco
sticks, and farm implements stored
under the barn before the flames
drove them from the fire.
Hardee said the barn had been
in use two years. It was one of
the few barns that burned in the
Loris area this year.

Dozens Identify
Mystery Farm No. l

The first mystery farm that APP
peared in this newspaper last
week was apparently easy picking
for the people in this area and
Utterly dozens of phone calls and
personal callers identified the farm
correctly.
1t was the farm of Ralph Jolly,
located on the Iron Hill Road,
some three miles from Tabor City.
MIR. Jolly called by Prince Mot
or Company and picked up his
free glossy picture and gave out
the information needed about his
farm.
1t was formerly known as the
Egbert Mills farm but in 1916, MIR.
jolly took IL over from his mother
in-law. He was married to the
former Reba Mills whose family
had lived on the place for some 40
years.
As a matter of fact, Egbert
Mills was the first man ever to
tend the land that now comprises
the Ralph jolly farm. Mr.. Mills
cleared the land some 40 years
ago and after his death in 1898.
his widow continued to operate the
farm until jolly took over the
management in 1916. Mrs. Mills
now lives with the JolIys.
Mr.. jolly completely rebuilt the
farm in 1947 when the old house
was made into the modern and at
tractive structure that it Is today.
Inc old barn was torn down and
No.. well-planned one replaced
it.
NJ. colly completely rebuilt the
tacco, and he says that he has had
gcol crop every year since he
ilo.cd on the place. He says he
is rather sure that the Land has
produced at least a ton of tobacco
to the acre every year since he
has farmed it, and that income
from the tobacco crop has always
been in excess of S10O per acre.
. In addition to the bright leaf,
+, grows swcc. potatoes md
quantity Of corn. Until this year,
he has ;lso grown strawberries
bat did Ut have a berry crop in
1854. He also raises hogs and has
