Sons Of Confederate Veterans Camp Is Starting In Mebane

"A group in Mebane wants to honor its Southern heritage by creating a Sons of Confederate Veterans camp.

There are camps in Burlington, Chapel Hill and Greensboro, but Carl Singley says enough folks are traveling from Mebane to those meetings that it’s time the city had its own chapter."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TARBORO! 250 Years Old

"The heart of Tarboro is green – its Town Common, a noble nine acres of grass shaded by towering old trees, spotted with monuments to past causes and persons."
=======
‘Someone run the bases for Bill!’ was always heard… I do not remember having to ask any one to run the bases for me. All this happened many years ago, and today as well as then I believe that Tarboro is full of people who are more than willing to ‘run the bases’ for those who cannot, without being asked.”

Super Saturday in Tarboro

Children's Legacy Committee - Our Future

Cassie Rentz (chair), Gabby Simons, & Huston Creel whom attended the Sam Davis Youth Camp last July were interviewed yesterday by a cable television show in Jackson County.

It was truly inspiring to listen to them and what they had taken to heart about camp as they interacted with the host, Mr. Royce Ragan. They spoke about the Sam Davis Youth Camp and their experience there. They also went into detail about what they learned and what they enjoyed most about camp. The children expressed how they enjoyed the dances they had learned.

They also told Mr. Ragan about the 1860’s dance lessons that they had conducted that past Saturday in Marianna, FL. In preparation of the upcoming Military Ball that will be held for Marianna Days, the Children's Legacy Committee conducted an 1860’s dance lesson for the citizens of Jackson County which was a huge success.

These young ladies and gentlemen are our future and we need to continue to support and encourage them. What a wonderful job they are doing in our community!
