I RAN FROM A RABBIT - D m y „Tc ev t r . thi " k a grown man would get frightened enough at a rab bit—only a small cottontail rabbit to run from it? Well, that’s what Allison Norwood, a colored farmer did. * Allison had heard so much of rabid dogs he thought probably this rabbit had the hydrophobia by the way the little fellow acted, and he did not care to be bitten even by a rabbit. Allison and his son were cutting com stalks and their dogs jumped the rabbit. It ran around the field, dodged the dogs and came back to where they were at work and sat down. Allison’s son threw his knife at the cotton tail and hit it on the head causing it to cut up all kinds of antics. And there’s where Allison thought the rabbit was ma.d He did’nt see the boy throw the knife and he made tracks away until his son told what he had done. The rabbit was killed all right. DEATH OF MRS.

In course of time, the Good Book says, the lion and the lamb will lie j down together. But the politician does : not wait for time. He takes time by I the forelock and lays down whe never and wherever he sees by his laying down he will gain a point. In course : he does. { ' A politician is a man who hates work worse than Adam hated apples after he was turned out of the Gar i den, and if he can get a fat teat tc suck he’s going to suck it, no mattei j how many others want to suck that ' same teat. In course he will. | Then there is another kind of poli-j tician. He is the man that obeys the man that has the strongest pull. This I little 2x3 politician goes to the 6x9 I fellow who in turn goes to the 12x15 i gentleman, who in turn calls on the 40x50 string puller who is told the tales of the 2x3, and the others, and he says: “Ah! ha! There’s trouble down the road. He tells 12x15 to ;eJ! 6x9 to tell 2x3 to keep steady; that we are going to open up some new offices in the county in a few days, and he’ll get his share.” I i That means that 2x3 is somewhat! encouraged and he goes home and j tells his wife he’s going to quit farm- I ing, or whatever work he is engaged in, and he is going to get an office. Then the wife puts on airs on account of this news and she begins to turn up her nose at her neighbors. In i course she does. But alas and alack. If the new of * fices are worth anything they go to the 40x50 work dodger, or the 12x15 hunter of greasy jobs, and 2x3 and 6x9 fellows are turned down with the promise of the next job to be handed I out. In course they are. Then the little politicians, the one’s that wear the see more coats and the blue overalls begin to cuss around and ( stir up a hornet’s nest, and big 40x501 hears of it, and calls on 2x3 and 6xS I j and says: “Keep quiet. Taxes are going to be heavy next year and we are going to appoint you tax collect ors for your townships and you can make money enough to buy you new suits of overalls and coats longer than the ones you wear.” And 2x3 and 6x9 believe it. In course they do. 1 Hain’t they one of the big dogs in the party. In course they are. Hain’t they entitled to an office? i In course they are. ! Hain’t they been around at night i , watching and listening for men who , i are talking of voting against our par- j jty and turned them back into the ' ranks? In course they have, i It would be a helavacomeoff if they ] didn’t get an office. In coure it would. ; | Oh! Politics. Your name should be mud. You are rotten. . ■ JOE SNYDER. Who hain’t got a office in the steam- I boat line yet, Hertford. —A negro has been ap- I pointed a notary public for Hertford county, but it was done through a; mistake. n SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM Transportation receipts from day y/MtX', to da y throughout the System are \ ,!3e deposited in Southern banks.

Out west a lady with a large mouth has a chance at two husbands. Here in Chatham the wo man can only get one. You might go west and try your luck. I was in church the other Sunday | and saw a young lady powdering her face while the preacher was praying. Don’t you think she ought to be as hamed of herself? Mollie, Siler City. Ans. —Yes, Mollie. That was very unladylike. But what were you do ing at this time. If you had bowed your head you wouldn’t have seen the lady powdering her face. Is it possible for a man to do up his hair like a woman? asks Maudie, of Moncure.. . Ans.—Now Maudie, that is a very foolish question. Do you believe a man is agile enough to twist his short hair on the back of his head with both hands, have a mouthful of hair pins and keep on talking all the time 1 ? No, Maudie, that and perpetual mo tion are two things that can’t be did. I am asking you for information. I am in love with a young man but he fails to bask in my lovelit eyes. How can I catch him?—Miss Annie, Colon. >.,m Ans.—That is simple enough if you use your thinkpot right. Give him a sly wink once in a while. More young men have been caught on sly winks than any other way. Always use your right eye to wink. If that don’t l fetch him, try the other. Sometimes both fail. If they do, wink both eyes at the same time and have a fainting ’ spell. Os course you must know which way to fall. That last wink always catches ’em. FALL CREEK NEWS. (Too Late for Last Issue.)
