ployees which would make the
payroll run over $1,000 each
week, plus a small additional
amount in the shipping depart
ment, which is not included in his
operation.
On the first floor is the new
finishing and shipping depart
ment; on the second floor is the

Noting the expense to treat fol

such treatment causes, as vel
as the possibility of farm live

dog owners to have dogs vac
cinated as soon as possible.
The ard also requested
the commemorative attorney to
look into the legal aspec s
of a compulsory vaccination pro-

grams require vaccination once
every three years, and usually
require a vaccination certifi-

A request of the new Prospect

Transportation
Easy Now For
BrunswickFolks

Prior to the days Of the late
! Governor w. Kerr Scott, the
folks of Brunswick County had
a long jaunt TO reach Tabor
| City where many chose TO do
their farm and home shopping.
But with the administration OF
| Governor Scott, not only came
good roads throughout Bruns-
wick and Columbus but at last
a bridge crossed the Wacca-
nav River at Pireway.
The opening of the bridge,
opened the way for Brunswick
citizens to come quickly INTO
Tabor City for their shopping.
The road was paved from
Longwood to Brunswick into
Tabor and these good roads
and good automobiles made
shopping in Tabor easier than
ever before. Tabor City then
and now remains the closest
major shopping center to hum
dredS OF Brunswick County
people.
Tabor City merchants have
long served the Brunswick area
with wide variety of farm
and home commodities. Shop

that few if any Southeastern

Of merchandise that can al
ways be found in Tabor City.

farmers town and early merch-
ants in Tabor City played a
leading part III the towns pro-
greSS by financing many farm
operations over wide area.
Today many of those same
firms are still assisting the
farm populace with financing.
Also, Tabor City'S modern
banking facilities has served in
the past and still serves thouS-

year.
Furniture stores are we'll

Modern grocery stores have
played a big role in the deve-
lopment of Tabor City. The
shopping habits of customers
in the grocery line has changed
drastiCally over the years. No
longer do many families buy
several weeks supply at the
time. Transportation Is such
that most grocery shopping is
done several times week. And
with this trend came the huge
super markets that today are
numerous in Tabor City.

the signup period for the wheat pro-
gram.
Eighty farms or about 80 per
cent of Hyde County wheat farms
have been signed to participate in
the 1862 wheat stablization pro-
gram. This represents over 700
acres diverted from wheat produc-
tion for which farmers have already
been paid over $4,000. This is
about 1/3 Of the total payment they
are to receive. The balance of their
payment will be made in 1862.
Storage cost to the government
as well as the cost of maintaining
stored wheat in good condition will
be reduced for 1862 due to partici-
patton in the program. Farm in
come win also be increased.
Weather has been ideal this fall
for harvesting and farmers have
been busy harvesting, plowing and
planting. Many have put off visit
ing the ASCS office to get infor-
nation on the wheat program.
It will pay wheat farmers to visit
the ASCS office and get details of
this program but this must be done
on or before Dec. /, 1861 which is
the end of the signup period.
