Abstract:

This group of local stories includes an account of the efforts of Mrs. Ben Lupton of Bethel to stop the sale and consumption of alcohol on Sundays. In 1896, W. W. Owens had an unusual turkey who set on chicken eggs. In 1902 someone was doing midnight shearing sessions on animals as a prank and someone sheared the horses of George Clark and Joseph Willis to look like mules.In 1897, Louis Flake came to Greenville with his wife and eight children and had 170 photographs taken. In 1884, R.S. Tucker of Raleigh was selling his Pactolus property of 2,129 acres--practically the entire community.
