"Those folks down in Bladen stag-
ed a fine celebration," observed Gov-
ernor Ehringhaus who was a speak-
er at Bladen county's celebration on
its 200 anniversary.
"The entire affair was well car-
ried off and everybody attending
seemed to have a fine time. I know
I enjoyed it a lot.
"It's true there was a lot of dust
but that did not dry up the ardor
of those present."--Views and Obser-
