Walnut Cove
Walnut Cove, June 13—There is considerable interest here now as to where the Co-operative Marketing Association’s warehouse is to be located. A few citizens want the building put south of the railway tracks but the majority seem to want it located in the heart of the town. A meeting of the committee recently appointed to consider a location for the plant was held last night and the matter was discussed. Several sites are offered but no selection has been made so far. It is likely that some decision will be reached at once in order that work may start on building in time to have it ready for the opening of the tobacco season.
The movement to have a new M.E. church here continues to be agitated by the people. The church will likely be located near the new cemetery in case it is built.

Mrs. Herbert Mitchell was hostess Saturday evening from 9:30 to 12 o’clock to about 60 guests, honoring her sister, Miss Thelma Glenn, and Mr. J. Harry Jones. Throughout the house quantities of yellow and white daises were used in profusion. The guests were met at the door by Miss Denny, introduced to the receiving line and carried back to the daisy covered bower in the spacious hall where they were served punch by Misses Frank Mitchell and Helen Fulton. The entire lower floor was a thing of beauty in its decorations of yellow and green. Tables were arranged and progressive rook was played, each guest finding partner and table by yellow and green hand-painted score cards. The long south porch was a veritable bower of daisies. Here progressive dominoes and cards were played. The top score at rook, a silver pencil was won by Mrs. C.E. Davis; the booby, a miniature grinding organ, going to Miss Thelma Glenn. Much merriment was caused by the playing of several old-fashioned games. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments of ices and beautiful little individual cases topped with green, white and yellow daisies, served by Misses Denny, Mitchell and Fulton.
Mr. Herbert L. Mitchell entertained during the evening on the side porch with flashes from his radio phone.
