FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS
I know a place where the sun is
like gold.
And the cherry blossoms burst
with snow,
And down underneath is the love
liest nook.
Where the four-leaf clovers
grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is
for faith.
And one is for love you know.
And God put another in for luck.
If you search, you will find
where they grow.
But you must have hope, and you
must have faith.
If you work, if you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers
grow.
—Ella Higginson.
SMILE
Somebody told a homely child
That she was pretty when she
smiled.
And something in her bosom stir
red
Responsive to the friendly word.
Ihe little girl was very quick
To learn that little smiling trick,
And all the ugly took its flight
Before her beaming new delight.
Next day the neighbors saw her
pass
And said, “Who is that lovely
lass?
And where’s that homely little
jane
That used to amble down the
lane?”
—James Larkin Pearson.
Mr. and Mrs. Jene Bauguess
will be at home to their friends
at 734 North Cherry street.
We’re glad to report that Mrs.
C. C. Briggs has recovered suf
ficiently to return to her home
from the Sanford hospital.
Treva says that it is about the
same distance from home as to
where she has to park the car.
We think the reason she drives is
because she wants us to know
that she has a new V-8. She
hasn’t quite learned to drive up
town yet but Sue says “Come on
girls, get in my Chrysler and we
will go up town and see the cir
cus parade.”
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thompson
spent the week-end in Cha-rlotte
v;ith Mrs. Thompson’s sister.
Annie says that spring cleaning
isn’t so hard after all with an
electric sweeper.
Wade thinks he can furnish ev
erybody on Buxton street with ice
this summer as he has a new
Kelvinator and water freezes so
quickly he had to stay home all
day Sunday emptying the ice
from the trays to keep them from
bursting.
FINISHING DEPARTMENT
The love bug has gotten two of
our girls going. How about it
Madie and Polly?
Carma you look very sad since
Odell has been working down
stairs. What is it Odell, another
Bing?
The finishing room sure does
miss the binding room door keep-
er.
Margaret Hilton says she likes
to work at night. What about
it, Tom? Mrs. Bell just loves to
stitch.
Molly Phillips wants to knov/
f anyone has a cow for sale. May
be it is just bull.
We all miss Claudia. Have a
good time Claudia. We hope
Mae West will let you come back
tc North Carolina and won’t keep
you in Hollywood to play her
double.
Glad to have Clayton Gough
back and Mrs. Nonnie Bowen.

Charleston, S. C.

His Companion
A man was moving with slouch
ing feet.
Midday and the sun was riding
high.
But he saw no beauty in earth or
sky.
Beside him an unseen spirit
walked.
And often and softly to him
talked:
‘ We’ve traveled together a long,
long way,”
It said, “But I leave you, my
friend, today.
I have followed you morning and
noon and night;
I have whispered warnings to
guide you right:
I have taken your hand and
urged you on
To seize the chances that now are
gone;
I have coaxed and driven and
pulled in vain
And thundered cautions again
and again;
To what avail? Ah, behold and
now—
The sunken eye and the lifeless
brow.
I leave you, my friend, for there
is no school
For the man determined to be a
fool.”
“And who are you?” sneered the
man with a grin;
Said the Spirit, “The man that
you might have been.”
“Do you suppose your son will
‘■oon forget all he learned at col
lege?”
“I hope so! He can’t make a
living necking.”
THIS AND THAT
By JOHNNIE SAGAR
Those poor unfortunates who
indulge in column writing as a
profession have my hearty sym
pathy. It must be disheartening
to sit gazing at a blank piece of
paper and know that if you don’t
put something on it you won’t
eat tomorrow. Personally, before
I sit down, I have plenty of ideas,
but as soon as I get a pencil in
my hand, my mind is a perfect
blank.
Anyway, last issue I said there
would be no wa<r in the immediate
future, and so far there has not
been one; so as a forecaster I
rank myself ahead of many of
our leading newspapers, but I
have such a one-track mind that
should war happen, I would still
say there won’t be one.
Good news for our sport ad
dicts: Coach Hambright says
that starting from next week the
soft-ball ground, volley-ball courts
and tennis courts will be put in
shape. All of this is good fun,
costs you nothing and is good for
you; so let everyone in the mill
take part in some sort of outdoor
recreation this year. Talking of
sport, we have about the best
baseball team in North Carolina
this season, and have scheduled
some fine clubs. This writer can
not understand why the stands
are not packed full of people every
game. They should be and per
haps they will be.
Was talking to Rev. J. L. Pow
ers the other day. He wishes me
to express a cordial invitation to
everyone to attend prayer meet
ings and church services at any
of his churches. All of us seem
to be able to take time off for
amusement, so surely we can give
a little time to the church.
Mill Personalities: Mr. Neaves.
His ability with a few words and
a slap on the back to make one
feel like a million dollars; in fact,
that in a very short time one will
probably be president, vice-presi
dent, secretary and treasurer of
the mill.
Mr. Lillard. An indefatigable
v.’orker; an example that the or
ganization is built on solid rock.
Men Are Four
He who knows not and knows not
he knows not, he is a fool—-
shun him;
He who knows not and knows
he knows not, he is simple—
teach him;
He who knows and knows not he
knows, he is asleep—wake
him;
He who knows and knows he
knows, he is wise—follow
him.
—Lady Burton.
“You can blow out that light,”
said the drunk to the waiter,
“I’m all lit up.”
