When travelling east from the
new Lindsay Warren Bridge you
win find the East Lake Metho-
dist Church about three miles
from the Alligator River on
highway "a.
It is a building of simple ar
chitecture with clean, unclutter-
ed lines of a type made famous
by the late American Primitive
artist, Anna Mary Moses.
This church has been a relig-
ious and social focal point to
many people for a long time.
It's history goes back as far as
it's original dedication on Oc-
tober 8, 1887. It was at this time
that the records give credit to
the Rev. Joseph G. Lennon of
the Virginia Conference for the
building of the church. Rev. Len
non was born in Baltimore,

EPWORTH METHODIST
CHURCH. SLADESVlLLE

The Epworth M odis t
Church located at Sladesville in
Hyde County was organized
with Mr.. Mathew Davis, grand
father of Mr.. S. G. Spencer, gave
the logs for the church and
Henry Wahab of Germanton
sawed them at this mill, free of
charge. Carpenters were employ
ed from New Bern and the
church was completed around
1872.
Originally there were no win
dows in the rear of the church,
but there were so many COM
plants of poor ventilation from
the ministers that two windows
were donated and installed by
Mrs. Johnnie Credle's grand
father, Timothy Fisher and by
Solomon Northern.
Rev. T. H. Hill was the first
pastor of the church, under his
leadership the first officers of
the church were elected as fol-
lows: Hannibal Watson, grand
father of Heck Watson; Bill
Spencer and Mathew Davis.

EAST LAKE METHODIST CHURCH
CLOSE TO THE NEW RIVER BRIDGE

Maryland in 1881 and died in
Norfolk in 1915. During his life
time he experienced quite a bit
of hardship in his devotion to
his belief, but his work in the es-
Establishment of the East Lake
Methodist Church was a lasting
institution. This is evident by the
unparallel success of its annual
Homecoming.
The first of these events was
held October IL, 1852 and they
have continued whereabouts ever
since. The attendance of the 1861
homecoming was approximately
five hundred, and the festivities
consisted generally of renewing
old acquaintance, a dinner on
the church grounds and an after
noon hymn-sing of a nature sell
dom seen in this new age OF
sophistication.
If today the members, and
friends with sentimental attach
ments, come in automobiles with
much comfort it was not always
so. There is a story told about
a settlement of families in ar
area known as "Beach Land'
(that was located on Milltail
Creek), who walked two miles
from their homes to "Beach
Land Landing" on the creek;
rowed skiffs five miles to "Buf-
falo Landing; walked a log
bridge another two miles to the
church for Sunday School that
was held at ten o'clock.
In one of these early Sunday
School records dated May 1, 1885,
it was noted that the religion.
services were conducted by the
superintendent T. S. Owens; g.
persons were present; the
weather was clear and cool and 8
collection of seventy-seven cent
was received.
Some Of the more recent SUI
perintendents of the church ar
J. F. Holmes, 1908; ]. B. Primer
1912; Mr.. Holmes again in 1920
Miss BERTHE Sawfer, 1887; Mrs
R. F. Smith 1888; Miss Dorothy
Primer, 1915 and Johnnie Twiddy
1947 to date.
The present pastor, the Rev
C. r. Olson and the members
of this church wish to extend tc
all in this area; to those pass
ing through on this speediel
route to the coastland and those
mentioning here, an invitation
to attend the regular scheduled
services or to just stop for a
moment and visit a church with
an exceptionally friendly and
uncomplicated atmosphere.

and buggy age to the jet age.
In the matter of elapsed time,
it isn't much. Only about so
years. In fact, considerably less
than that for some sections of
our fair country.
The Model T Ford dealt the
first blow to Old Dobbin. Then
came better roads and more
comfortable cars. In the skies,
the first flimsy, faltering planes
gave way to bigger and better
models, with more and more
speed, until today it is possible
to cross the continent between
breakfast and lunch, with time
left over.
Kerosene lamps have been
supplanted by electric lights, to
everybody's advantage. And in
the process, the harried house
wife has been relieved of the
dirty, messy chore of keeping
the lamps filled and clean and
the wicks properly trimmed. A
serious fire hazard has been
eliminated, as well. Many a
window curtain has caught
from a lamp flaring in the
wind, and many a house has
burned to the ground, in con-
sequence.
The farmer now has tractors
and other powered machines
that enable him to cultivate
many times the acreage that Old
Dobbin plodded over. The farm
er's wife has a mechanical
washing machine in place of
the old family washtub, and per-
haps a steam ironer and electric
drier as well.
One could go on and on list
ing the improvements that a
mere so years have brought.
And the next so years? Your
guess is as good as mime, but
we can rest assured that, bar
ring an atomic holocaust, there
will be plenty of changes, and
most of them for the good.
And yet, with it all, this jet
age of ours is not entirely an
unmixed blessing. With a horse
and buggy, you could jog along
to your destination, enjoying a
slowly unfolding vista of green
fields and pleasant homesteads.
You could stop and chat with
friend at the end of a corn
row, or with a fellow so journ-
er on the road. Maybe you
were a little late in reaching
your destination, but what diff
ference did it make? There was
no 40-hour week, and minutes
were cheap enough for a few
to be wasted.
To return to Old Dobbin,
every horse had a personality
of his own, distinct from all
others. One would he high-spirit-
ed and nervous, eager to excel.
He would most likely be a good
driving horse, perhaps a racer.
Another would be placed and
inclined to ease up in the
traces. He likely would pull a
wagon or a pillow. Still another
would have the easy, gentle
gait of the saddle horse.
There were infinite grada-
tions of these, just as there are
among humans. The highly in
telligent horse was apt to be
lazy, and resourceful in the
matter of prying open a care
lessly closed barn door, to help
himself to the corn and fodder.
Economically, the horse had
it all over the automobile. You
could buy a pretty good one for
$3.50 to 5000, and he would
have a useful life of 20 years or
more. No need for a new model
every year or two. A new
buggy could be had for as
little as $50, and it might out
last the horse.
In upkeep, too, the horse had

IsOULE METHODIST CHURCH
OVER A CENTURY IN AGE

tons in Hyde County. In the

it all over the automobile. His
feed was grown on the farm,
and except for an occasional
shoeing and perhaps a visit from
the vet when he was sick
that was about it.
The horse was a symbol OF
genial, unhurried living. He
was practically a member Of
the family, and had his own
name as well as his individual
stable, which he knew as well
as anyone else. Who ever heard

John Washington Woodley,
a Negro, was in town on Tues
day. He sauntered through the
streets, in his usual slow and
shiftless way, from the dirty
board up on his wagon, behind
Mary his mule and friend
John is 90, a collector of gar
bage, tales and trifles from the
land and sea which he loves.
John Woodley's thoughts, like
the wheels of his wagon, follow
random path. They member
through the years with the dim
yellow focus of age and stall
like his mule when a barbed
memory or wind-scattered i'm
age appears. His mind is flood
ed with millions of moments
which slowly stir his magma
ton like the sun-fed notes OF
dust which filter between the
spokes of his wheels. John is
getting old.
We asked him for a story
last Wednesday, and he said
''That's all / got is stories; the
the truth isn't in me-" But he
talked to US anyway, the ram
bling one-toothed fashion that
seems to suit him, from the
front porch of his home.
John was born in 1868, but he
doesn't remember anything
about the "Civil War" His ear
Hest memory is of the pine trees
on Roanoke Island. John says
there "wuz only five trees on
the island -. that's right
five. no more. / know
1 tell you." 1.-TWO of them wuz
on the north end $. the other
three was out by (General)
burnside's'' "That's what ]
mostly remember early beside
working" 81 got my first pair
of shoes when l was II years
old Victor Meekins's grand
father paid me for working in
the fields"
We asked John what was the
happiest time of his life and
he said 'sthe past" "Anytlme
but now is better; old age
means you can't work" "The
happiest best time Of my life
was in when people smiled after
1 worked for white folks what
said John you done a good job
"I've worked from sun to sun
for 1Oc a day and twice as hard
as people wouldn't have that
much if to bend over" John
Woodley picked cotton and peas
until he was in his twenties. It
was then that he felt the call
of the sea.
When you mention the sea
John gets restless. He shifted
in his cloth-covered chair on
the front porch and exposed a
few springs as he cooked his
head to the side and said he
was a cap'n. "That's right, a
captain on the Lady Bug. ask
old man Ned Etheridge;
he hired me-" "Ask him If !
didn't bring EN- in too. many
a fish I've dumped on the dock,
and I'd still do it if / wasn't too
old" John was going to tell
us more when his niece, Ozella
Scarborough came through the
rickety gate in his yard with q
dish wrapped in wax paper
"Bless your heart honey" ne
said, and he reached inside his
pocket for the key to his door
The key was tied to a hambone
for safe-keeping. John unlocked
the door and returned to ms
