FROM INGLESIDE
Several tobacco barns were j
burned last week in this and near
by community. Willie Duke, liv- 1
ing near New Sandy Creek church |
lost a barn last Tuesday. Joe and
kurley Lassiter, in Hayesville [
Township, suffered the loss of one
barn on Thursday. N. B. Smith, I
whose home is on the former |
County Home property, had a
barn to burn at near noon Friday,
as did Paul Edwards, on the same
day and hour, and only about 2%
miles distant from Mr. Smith's.
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Ayscue, of
Roseboro, Sampson County, were
week-end guests of Mrs. Lonie
Dickerson.
Miss Kittie Foster, of Bridge
port, Conn., who has been visiting
friends and relatives in the Coun
ty most of the summer, was a
pleasant guest of Mrs. George
Mtnning a few days this week.
Mrs. Dave Hayes and Miss An-|
nie Edwards, of Vance County, '
visited IngleBide friends Tuesday
of last week.
Miss Dorothy Weldon, of Lake
View, slimmer resort, was a week-j
end guest of Miss Annie Waite j
Hunt.
Mrs. V. V. Hester, ill at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Lonie
Dickerson, with whom she lives,
shows but little improvement.
Mrs. Mary Olivere, of Louis- j
burg, while enjoying a drive in!
the country, greeted friends here
a short time Saturday evening.
It is noted from "hard facts"
in your paper last week, that even
a newspaper is sometimes the vie- !
tim of discrimination. That ap-j
pears rather unusual on account' I
of the fact that the position of
newspapers in their particular
field of useful public service differ j
materially from , Oliver worthy en
terprises, obviously signifficant in
the volume of work, time and j
space devoted, with no compensa
tion, the welfare of town, [county
and state, also for the best inter
ests, individually and collectively,
of their people. With no desire
for deception, the writer' had
printing done away from home,
one time many years ago, and
when there was occasion to write
The TIMES other stationery was |
used. There is no question of
other things being equal (and
there wasn't then) as to the art
of first class printing. It is execu
ted right at home after that fash
ion.
Any act of discrimination, irft- !
aginary, through prejudice or for
any other purpose, appear at this |
short distance to be as unreason
able as it is unjust, and might be
averted in the spirit' of charity {
and good will to the advantage of
all.
All know that while an editor
submits as a "free htfrse" to be j
ridden and sometimes driven at
will; and that he has long been
considered as a sort of "pack j
mule" to be handled a bit rough- I
ly and only half fed. So it must
be that this last feature, among |
the many trying vicisitudes of his
career, has caused the editor to
pause for relief.
If we realize and appreciate the
many good t'hings enjiyed at the
hands of the editor, church and
school news, picnics, house par
ties, general entertainments, and
many other items of social and
personal interest? and finally,
when we die, get married or have
other troubles ? this editor can
best ease us off with a clearer
conscience.
The midday whistle bad blown
when Murphy shouted:
Murphy ? Has anyone seen my
vest?
Pat ? Sure, Murphy, and you've

Murphy (gazing solemnly at.

, aad it's a good thing ye seen It or
* I'd have gone home without it.
