Abstract:

In 1756 a handful of hardy pioneers assembled neat what is now the northern boundary of Greensboro and founded the Buffalo Presbyterian Church. Next Saturday and Sunday will mark its 180th anniversary. The members of the church have preserved most of the data in connection with the establishment and progress of the church.

Johnson, Cora Lee

Abstract:

Wilson and Greenville boast of their tobacco markets; Wallace claims distinction in the amount of strawberries raised; and Aurora ships more Irish potatoes than any other community. However, the small town of Turkey in Sampson County exports more peppers than any other place in the world, and it has held that record for the last ten years.
