McDevett, C. W.

A group of teenage boys from Washington began a natural history museum known officially as the Washington Field Museum, but locally as the \"Bug-House Laboratory\" in one of the town's municipal buildings. The \"Bug-house Boys\" develop, maintain, and run the displays exclusively and gather most of the specimens which they also prepare. In 1935, 4,500 specimens had already been collected.

The group of Winston-Salem bus owners operated 42 passenger buses and transported 8,000 passengers daily.

Recently, a historical marker to Dobbs County was erected on the spot of its old county courthouse near Goldsboro. Few people know the county existed and fewer know of the man for whom it was named, Arthur Dobbs. The county ceased in 1791 and three counties were formed from it--Lenoir (1791), and Greene and Wayne (1799). Dobbs was a colonial governor of the state, 1754-1765, surveyor-general of Ireland, a scholar and a scientist.
