OBSERVATIONS;
By Rambler.
“Why, I was born a barefoot boy,”
remarked Dr. Shapin the other day,
when he and Dr. Farrell were talking
about how rich they were. “Well,” re
plied Dr. Farrell, “you needn't be
bragging about it. I wasn’t born iwitb
shoes on.”
■' T of the hunters in
Pittsboro or elsewhere, so far as that
memory Mt. farm
er Monday, “would come up to my
place and kill out some of the squir
rels. They are ruining some of my
corn.”
“Yor-der goes a young lady that's
a earing silk sox that cost $4.00 a

a ith a keen eye. “Yes,” put in a by
stander, “she is wearing them so peo

me of a funeral procession—every
thing is so quiet. And Sundays gjkt
my goat. It is so quiet and still on
those days that you can hear a man
breathe across the street.”
“Listen to that song that fellow is
singing,” remarked a citizen as a
young man passed. The words were
something like this: “I lay in jail
with my face against the wall, and a
red headed woman was the cause of it
all.” “Where in the world do the
young men learn such songs,” contin
ued the gentleman.
“It’s no use talking,” said a citizen
of Pittsboro Sunday, “something must
be done to keep down the dust here
on Sunday. It is simply awful. On
week days the sprinkler has as much
as it can do to lay the dust and it
does to a large extent. But on Sunday,
when hundreds of cars are passing
over the streets, there’s nothing to
prevent the dust from spreading over
everything and everybody. Some of
the citizens on West street are talk
ing of raising a fund to give to some
one who will run the sprinkler on that
street on Sunday—from the hotel t«
the end of the corporate limits. The
venture may be tried soon.”
AN ORTHODOX SERMON.
By C. D. Smith.
Dey tells us now Marse Adam mout
Have been de fust real man,
But back uv him his kin-folks wus
A rowdy monkey clan;
En dat dey chattered in de sjwamps,
Er clum de highes’ trees,
En' spent dey’re mornin’s huntin’ grub
DeyTe noontime catchin’ fleas.
But when de change come roun’ en
how,
Dar ain’t nobody knows,
Er w r hy a monkey can’t talk none
En wears his hair fer clothes.
Den’ if one ape was born a man,
Now, bruddern, hear me shout,
How come de monkey fambly didn’t
completely peter out.
De monkey is hyar en we is hyar
En dough we favors some,
’Cept when eC ’possum bees up dar
A tree don’t seem like home.
_En you kin dress a monkey up,
In velvet clothes so fine,
He look some lak a man, en yet,
His tail sticks out behin’.
En dough man has his monkey ways,
De monkey puts on style,
Dey’s no mo’ chance er mixin’ ’em,
Den mixin’ water and ile.
So, bruddern, what de Good Book sez
’Bout Miss Eve en Marse Adam
Is all de facs’ we needs to know,
Er else de Bood ud had ’em.
En who our great-grandaddys wus
Don’t matter nary a bit,
When Satan lifts dat red-hot led
En draps us in his pit.
Fer none er dem he’s drapped down
dar
Has come back on de bounce;
Kit’s not de place you come sum, folks
But whar’s you’s gwine whut counts

GOSSIP AND SCANDAL.
I came shortly after creation. I
' came with civilization’s dawn and (will
be here until time is no more. I am
| übiquitious, and the whole world is
my territory—l am working all the
time —night and day—l never rest—
I am perpetual. Folks say my trade
debauches good names and causes jus-
I tice to tremble. Others say that I am
1 more poisonous than the viper and
the deadliest foe of society. I am the
poisoned shaft of falsehood. My ne
farious art has caused men and wo-
J men to be thrown from decent society
and left friendless. Yet with all these
slams I go on and find sufficient sub
jects upon which to prey. Some of
my followers forsake me, but I cannot
j be discouraged—others fall in to take
their places among my ranks. I am
most pleased when I hear the evils
of my neighbors and then I herald it
to the world with my swift messen
gers—the tongues. I do what is ne
cessary to kill a good name. This is
Imy sole mission here. Shun me and
' you have the good will of all—follow
me and I’ll disgrace you. I am the
handiwork of the devil himself,
i IAM GOSSIP. IAM SCANDAL.
Moral: “Let him who is without
sin cast the first stone.”
| “What are others faults to me ?
I have follies of my own,
Every flaw I see
And make them wider still?
It is enough for me to know,
I have follies of my own,
And on my heart that care bestow,
. And let my friends alone.”
“He who steals my purse, steals trash
’Tjwas something, ’tis nothing,
! Twas mine, ’tis his,
And have been a slave to a thousand
masters,
But he who filches of me my good
name
Robs me of that which does not en
rich him,
| And causes me to be poor indeed.”

Let’s Have a Picnic Ground—Other !
* Towns Have Them.
The following from the Monroe En
quirer explains itself:
The best advertising asset Monroe
has now is Tonawanda and the park
around it.
It has not cost the taxpayers of
Monroe one cent, having been con
structed at a cost of many thousands
of dollars with private capital.
It brings hundreds of visitors and
strangers to Monroe. On July 4th
there were many visitors from twelve
1 different towns —some came as far as
100 miles. Those who came say there
is nothing like it in the Carolinas.
People who have never heard of
Monroe know of our lake Tonawanda.
For a long time the children as well
as the grown-ups of Monroe have
neded a play ground and recreation
park. Mr. J. T. Shute is supplying
this need at his own expense.
Lake Tonawanda is becoming a fa- 1
mous picnic ground. And many un
known people are oft times seen bath
ing and swimming in the lake.
With improved drive ways, en
trances and exits the place will be
come much more popular still.
Pittsboro has as good facilities for
a picnic ground as other towns in
the state, then why cannot the citizens
here join together and have it?
Read the article again and make up
your mind that you will help Pitts
boro get on the map. There is money
in the undertaking.
