Dear Editor,
Having lived in Louisburg all my life, I have long been a patron of the County Library. My mother introduced me at an early age to the treasures found among the shelves there, for seldom did a week go by when we did not go in search of the magic in the stories of patriots and heroes; tales of queens, kings and common folk; haunting stories of mysterious happenings; and all of the other experiences one finds between the pages of a book.
Dear Editor,
Really? Less than a week after the Presidential signing of a bill that will bring drastic change to health care in the US, The Franklin Times wastes its editorial space on some meaningless delay in a hearing and points the finger directly at Senator Burr, calling him childish.

LOUISBURG -- Even after spending one year away from the sport, the passion for playing football never died within Daryl Ware.
Instead, Ware sought to find a four-year college home -- and he located one in Murfreesboro.
Ware, a former standout at Louisburg High School, has signed a letter-of-intent to continue his career at Chowan University.
Does he root for his team, or does he take the money and run?
Such is the dilemma facing our own Carey Johnson, the former lovable loser who has turned into a force in the annual The Franklin Times NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest.
Johnson proclaims that he is a die-hard Duke University fan, even though he readily admits that he didn’t watch a Blue Devils’ game during the regular season.
BUNN -- Brittany Baird’s bases-loaded single in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Bunn Ladycats a 5-4 home victory over Roanoke Rapids in a Northern Carolina Conference fast-pitch softball game last Friday night.
