Its hard to believe that
just 100 years ago people
crossed this country in wagon

miles an hour, and nobody's
looking they're home
watching Wagon Train. -

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
HANDLES CURRENT TAXES

In last weeks issue of the Coast
land Times, it was reported that
tax collection duties Of the sheriff's
department had been assumed by
other parties in a general reor-
ganization of the tax assessment
and collection functions of the
county organization. This is not
the case, according to Mrs. Donis L.
White, deputy-collector in the
office of Sheriff Frank M. Cahoon,
who advises that the only tax col
lections handled outside the sher-
iff's department are those of delin-
quent accounts which are presently
being sought for by Thos. H.
Briggs of Kill Devil Hills who as
sumed the role of delinquent tax
collector by appointment Of the
commissioners last fall, and who
receives for compensation 1920 of
the amounts collected.
Mrs. White, who stated that she
had been working IL and 10 hours
a day in handling these tax ac-
counts for the 1861 levy, said she
believed payment of taxes for the
current year to be running slightly
ahead Of previous years. The last
report filed showed a total Of $118,-
$500 paid.

BATTLE OF ROANOKE.
ISLAND CENTENNIAL
I WILL BE FEB. 7-s

One hundred years ago this week
the Union Fleet sailed from For.
tress Monroe in Virginia with Hat
teras Inlet, already captured 81
Federal troops during the previous
August of 1861, as their destina-
ton.
From Hatteras Inlet the fleet
would sail up Pamlico Sound and
engage in the Battle OF Roanoke
Island which resulted in the subse-
quent capture and occupation of the
area on February z, 8, 1862.
This year, on the one-hundreth
anniversary of the battle, and UNI
der the sponsorship of tile Dare
County Civil War Commission,
there will be special observanees
of the event held in Manteo ard at
the sites of two markers, one al
ready erected at the site of Fort
Russell near the intersection OF
the Wanchese and beach highway,
the second expected to be ready by
the centennial date, near the east
approach of William B. Umstead
Bridge here on the island.
Under the caption "ARMADA
sally, a news story reprinted
from an Atlanta newspaper report
ed the sailing of the Union Fleet
from Fortress Monroe, Va, as fol-
lows:
"An armada Of So Union ships is
on its way to Hatteras Inlet, N, c.,
today, to attack the North Carolina
coast.
eff good weather prevails, a
landing is expected momentarily."
"The fleet of 20 warships and IS
lighdraught troop and supply ships
assembled at Annapolis, Nd,
Thursday and made its way to this
Union bastion Friday. The van
guard of the fleet departed for
,Hatteras yesterday morning"
1.-THE Commander of the expedi-
ton Is Brig. Gen. Ambrose e. Burn
side. He commanded a brigade at
Bull Run"
"Union forces under Gen. Ben
jamin F. Butler established a base
at Hatteras Inlet last August, cap
turing the Confederate forst Hat
teras and Clark, $40 prisoners and
So cannon. Only one Union soldier
was lost in that operation"
at is the intention Of the Burn
side expedition TO expand the Union
footing in North Carolina and oper-
ate along the coast"
1.-THE area is not believed to be
strongly defended. It is important
to the Confederacy as a base for
privateers."

BOYS CLUB BEING
, FORMED ON R. l.;
LIONS SPONSORING

Under sponsorship of the Man.
teo Lions Club, the first Boys Club
in Dare County is scheduled to get
underway soon, for boys of both
elementary, and high school of Man
teo. The project, in the talking
and planning stage for several
weeks, was settled at this Tuesday
nights meeting of the Lions.
Registration will begin Monday,
January % at 2 pm. in the high
school gymnasium for elementary
school students, and at the same
hour on January 20 for high school
students, age limits from z through
II. Fathers of all boys interested
in joining the group are also urged
to attend at time Of registration,
as well as supporting the general
program.
While the organizational group
of boys will not qualify for mem
bership in Boys Club of America,
it is hoped that when the 100 or so
members required to attain repre-
sentation are admitted, that steps
may be taken by the sponsoring
group to assure this connection.
Primary function of the club will
be from the beginning, as in the
parent national club, to direct ac-
Invites of the youngsters in the
path of becoming wholesome, self
supporting citizens in their later
years.
First objective after attaining
membership will be a physical fit
ness program, and from that will
come such crafts and sports as bad
minton, volleybalI, woodworking
basketball, etc. Registration and
beginning sessions will be under
direction of Lions Club members,
but further assistance may be rem
dered through other local civic
groups.
