Old maids are curious obstacles, don’t you think? Some of them re mind me of a wild rabbit. They get about so rapidly when a man, wheth er he is old or young, happens to get in the old maid’s company. , Such twitching; such twisting; such giggling and such putting on airs, when in a crowd. Why, they will try ,to make you believe they are only i sweet sixteen. But go farther and happen some early morning and see ; one of these “has-beens," as she emerges from a late bed room. Near !ly all the life is out of her face, i Watch her as she grabs a towel or 1 something and covers her head, that it would be almost impossible lor a younger woman to do the thing as quickly. . , _ r And hear her exclaim: Oh! You excited me so, Mr. Jones! But she doesn’t look that way long. A little i water, a little paint and powder and I the ugly old maid is transformed into l a beautiful young lady. I She walks with preciscion. Her ,! step is as light as a feather and her voice is as sweet as honey and peach brandy. “Oh! Mr. Jones! I am so glad to see you looking so handsome this morning. I know you are enjoy ing this fine weather.” But her speech would have been different a few hours before. She al most hated herself for being caught not “fixed up” before Mr. Jones came around in the early hours of thfe morning. They do say that the reason that some old maids do not marry is be cause they have never had the chance, although many of them claim that they never wanted to marry, but just the same, it matters not how old a woman gets, they like to be in men’s company and whenever they get the opportunity, and some poor fool of a man, who has no better sense, asks one of these side notes to marry, they generally cast their eyes heavenward and with the one and only thought that has followed them through life, they exclaim to themselves: “Thank the Lord. This is the end I have long nought, and cried and cried because I found it not.” And the poor man is accented. JOE SNYDER, Who has turned to be a politician. AGREE TO A SEPARATION. Greensboro, Dec. B.—A deed of sep aration. signed bV John B. Hester and Mary Hester, residents of Guilford county, was filed in the office of the register of deeds here today. Abso | lute incompatibility of temperament is given as the reason. Under the! terms of the contract Mrs. Hester gets a ten-acre tract of land, a truck and two automobiles, household and kitch en furniture —and thel ten children of the couple. She waives her rights in a 67-acre farm in Chatham countv. where it is said that Mr. Hester will go and start life over. The flapper says that wearing hair bobbed saves time. For what? PITTSBORO’S SIDEWALKS. Pittsboro’s sidewalks are a disgrace to any community. They should and could be made better than they are if the town authorities would go at it in the right way. Siler City is hav ing good sidewalks made, but the owners of the property abutting the streets and the town commissioners got together and by the owners pay- I ing a portion of the expense arid the commissioners the balance, the enter prising village will soon have good side walks all over the place. The excuse in Pitsboro is that the town has no money. Other towns in the state had no money but away was planned that all the money need ed for this improvement was found. Os course Pittsboro would have to issue bonds to do this, but would it not be better to issue a few thousand dollars in bonds than to let the side walks of the town go on like they are. Would not more people come here, buv property and live here if our streets and side walks were passable in wet weather? Who wants to move to a town when part of the time pe destrians can hardly get from their homes to the business part of the Let the town issue bonds and build side walks. It would seem like the property owners would be willing to help defray the expense in getting de cent side walks in front of their premises. Let’s see if they are. Accepted a Call. Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse, of Fitz gerald, Ga., has accepted a call to be come rector of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal church and also St. Thomas Episcopal church at Sanford, and will assume his duties on January Ist.
