Police Seek
Hit-and-Run
Driver Here
Police are on the lookout this
week for a grey car, thought to
be a 1937 model Chevrolet, that
was involved in a hit-and-run ac
cident on the Thelma road about a
mile west of Roanoke Rapids last
Saturday night, about 7 p.m. Arthur
Lynch, 18 year old boy who lives
on Monroe Street, was struck and
rendered unconscious as he walked
along the road there, carrying some
brush that he had cut for brooms
earlier in the evening.
It is reported that the car with
the unknown driver ran into the
ditch, with the apparent purpose of
striking the boy. It is said that
no other car was near enough to
the scene of the accident to blind
the driver.
Lynch suffered head and leg in
juries. It was first thought that
his leg was broken, but examina
tion at the Roanoke Rapids Hos
pital revealed no fractures.

Just before refreshments were
served a large silver platter was
placed before the bride-elect with
what appeared to be a huge bridal
cake iced and at the top was a
corsage of white rose buds. She
was asked to remove the corsage
and cut the cake. As the corsage
was lifted the top of the box came
up also and from this was sus
pended many attractive packages,
each containing lovely linen. These
were opened and Miss Shaw gra
ciously expressed her appreciation
to each guest present.
ine nome ot Mrs. Campbell was
most attractively decorated with
many bowls of flowers most ef
fectively used. The refreshments
which consisted of an ice course
carried out the bridal motif, with
the ice course. Cake mints and
nuts were served, each plate con
taining a favor of miniature net
bags of rice tied with white ribbon
and sprayed with lily of the valley.
