HAS A MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE UNDER WAY

Hyde County Farm Bureau pres
ident R. L. Mckinney reports that
the Farm Bureau is this week
conducting membership drive,
and emphasizes that farmers can
benefit greatly by organizing and
cooperating.
Legislation secured by the Farm
Bureau during the last legislature
will mean great savings to farm
ers; a $50 tax on farm machinery
has been discontinued, which is ex-
pected to result in a saving of
over 100000 for the states
farmers.
1t is also estimated that North
Carolina farmers will save over
$1,330,O00 on their potash, as a
result of the opposition of the
Farm Bureau to a $10-a-ton duty
that was proposed to be collected
on potash imported into the United
States.

she was able to recognize before
she lapsed into unawareness.
But not merely was she mid
wife, she was neighbor and friend
and sound counsellor, gentle and
kindly and keenly intelligent. She
was vigorous of both body and
mind and withal independent. Until
five years or so ago she lived
alone in her own house down on
the sound side some distance from
the new highway, but at the in
sistence of her family she allowed
the house to be moved out to the
highway, to site next door to
her son and within sight of her
grandson.
Mrs. Dudley was the widow of
David G. Dudley, who died SO
years ago. 1t was remembered in
the community that Mr.. DUDLEY,
who was later a member of the
crew at Creed's Hill Station, was
the first contract mail carrier on
the Island, making the trip from
Chicamacomico to Hatteras on
horse back when postoffices were
established here during the 1905.
The trip along the Island, with the
mail in saddle-bags, required day
in each direction.
Abraham Lincoln was not a
month dead when Mrs. DUDLEY
was born. 1t is not wholly clear
whether she was born on the Is
land or on the mainland in Hyde
county. Many of the Islanders,
with southern sympathies, had
been compelled to flee the Island
after the invasion during the
Civil War. But she returned to the
Island in infancy and was but
rarely away from it in the sue
ceeding years of her long life.
Mrs. Dudley was accorded an
honor rare on Hatteras Island
when as a mark of respect, Group
Commander Harold Glynn directed
that a detachment of Coast
Guardsmen, under the command of
BM3c Elton Farrow, whom she
had brought into the world, act as
pail bearers. The five sons that
she had raised followed their
father into the service and the
family devotion to the Coast
Guard continues noY into the third
and fourth generation.
Funeral services were held from
the Methodist Church, of which
she was a lifelong member, and
were conducted by the pastor, the
Rev. Dan Meadows, assisted bv
the Rev. Aaron Tyson, pastor of
ST. Paul's Church at Avon. The
church was crowded to the doors
for the service, despite the in
element weather. Interment was
beside her husband in the family
cemetery.
Surviving children are Guy C.
Dudley, Buxton; Thomas d.
Dudley, Pamlico, David E. Quid-
Low. of Camden, Mrs. Ersie G.
Wise of Kinston and one stepson,
Amasa G. Dudley, of Buxton.
There are 20 grandchildren and 70
great grandchildren.
